January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.

@itsfi super cute!!! And vanilla cake batter??? 🤤

[itsfi]

@lmaster, the scent was sooooo good. I kept sniffing it trying to figure out what it was - it smelled so familiar and I literally went through pretty much every baked good I'm familiar with trying to pin point it. Cupcake? Not quite.  Cake? Kinda, but I don't pick up any frosting scent. And then, it hit me - vanilla cake batter!!!  😍

[Kim888]

Omg that’s so cute!!!! @itsfi so disappointing it was a dud! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, the cute packaging and those adorable bear print on the masks make me think about picking up another one if I see it. My Target is currently undergoing a renovation / redesign of its interior layout so it's a bit of a challenge to find everything in one place, so I haven't seen it appear in the new sheet mask bar area that they've set up, but will go back and check once everything is in their place.

That's too bad about the mask, @itsfi. I've tried a different one from this line and don't remember a specific issue with lack of serum, but I do recall that mask not being particularly wowing either so... there's that 😂 But YAY for gummy bears! 

[itsfi]

@quspork, yes, a bit of a bummer but experiences with good masks have far outweighed those with bad ones. And, no bad reaction with this one. 😉 Gummy bears all the way! 😆

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Sooo cute!.. but so odd that it was that dry! It sounds like it would've been a pretty great mask otherwise! 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, definitely odd. 🤔  Haven’t had anything like that happen before this. I may pick up another of these if I run across it, to give it a fair shake. 

[ather]

@itsfi  It’s too bad the mask wasn’t moist enough. Maybe a defect? Love your review on the gummy bears!

[itsfi]

@ather, I'm leaning towards it being a defect because there was so little serum in that mask and nothin' in the packet. I just haaad to get in that gummy bear review. Had to. 😂

[ather]

@itsfi  I wonder if there was a tiny hole in the package 

[itsfi]

@ather, I hadn’t thought of that.  I didn’t notice any serum on the masks that this one was sandwiched between but it’s a possibility. 🤔 

[Shosh85]

This is off theme, but I just really wanted to try this one 😉

OTZI Dough Therapy Pore Treatment Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL 

This white-colored, clay mask has a very interesting texture- sort of like a cross between dough and jelly. It is firm but also bouncy/jiggly at the same time. If you press your finger on top of it, it doesn't even make a dent, it just bounces back to its original form.

The scent is a little hard for me to explain - it was kind of a fresh scent that was maybe like a mix of clay and cornstarch? It was light enough that I could barely smell it while it was on my face.

I scooped a small chunk of it out, pressed it against my face and just smeared it all over. It smoothed down very nicely.

The directions say to leave it on for 5 minutes, but I left it on for more like 8. It didn't take long for it to dry - it was soft and flexible and not uncomfortable at all. Removal was easy and kind of turned into a milky consistency when I rinsed with warm water.

My face looked a little brighter and less dull, felt super soft and smooth and even had a bit of a glow. My skin did feel a touch dry, but for me that's to be expected with any kind of clay mask.

I've never used anything like this before, and I have to say, I really love it! It did everything it said it'd do! I can see this jar lasting a long time, but I'll definitely be repurchasing when I'm out!

@Shosh85 this sounds so intriguing. It looks like this includes Job’s tears, the seed and shell extract as well as the seed water, very interesting indeed! *into cart*

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Hmmm, I didn't even notice that. I'm pretty happy I picked it up! It's a fun and unique mask! 😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 the name sounds really interesting!! Thanks for sharing!! Glad you love it 😉

[Shosh85]

Thanks @lmaster!! The name is what first got my attention 😉

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 @That sounds so interesting - thank you for sharing !!

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  I love the uniqueness of it! It's one of the impulse buys I don't regret 😂

[ather]

@Shosh85  I’m happy it worked out for you. I’ve been growing to love clay masks more lately. 

[Shosh85]

@ather  It was wonderful! It wasn't like a typical clay mask, and I think that, with the great results is why I loved it so much! 😃
