MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I got Youth To The People Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask with Niacinamide 2.0 oz/ 60 mL as a GWP, and tried it that very night.  I was surprised by the texture, as it was more silky than even my CLINIQUE Pore Refining Solutions Charcoal Mask 3.4 oz/ 100 mL .  However, I found that to be a disadvantage because it was slippery when applying, and I found that I had to go over areas more than once in order to get opaque coverage.   

 

It dried down quickly enough.  I thought it was going to be like The INKEY List Kaolin Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL in that it'd turn more translucent when it was done doing it's thing.  Instead, it just kinda looked like grayscale from GOT!  This is the first clay mask I've had that I felt a little uncomfortable with the dry down.  My skin got too dry and itchy.  (I will say that I had used a clay mask the night before, which I've never done before - I was just so anxious to try YTTP.)  I also found it a smidge difficult to wash off.

 

The next day, my skin didn't look any better.  It's been so hot and my skin's been so greasy, so it was a real let down.  My skin generally looks more "clean" after using my fave clay mask, innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL .  I really don't think I'll reach for the YTTP again.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@greeneyedgirl107  I've wondered about the YTTP mask. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much! Sorry to hear it was disappointing! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@greeneyedgirl107  darn thatโ€™s a total letdown. Iโ€™m actually a huge fan of clay masks I find they really help my skin. Good to know this wasnโ€™t a winner. Iโ€™ve been curious to try it. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@greeneyedgirl107  Sorry about the itchiness. I actually bought this one but haven't tried it yet. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks for the review on the YTTP, @greeneyedgirl107. I was wondering how it would compare to some of the other clay masks, so this helps! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ahhh, bummer about the YTTP, @greeneyedgirl107. I was thinking a silicone brush applicator might help, but as I continued to read, realized that not using it at all might help even more. The innisfree is quite soft. I recently tried the Chantecaille detox mask and it did not dry down at all, it was extremely comfy.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks for the review!! I love the innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz/ 100 mL too

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

That is disappointing the clay mask didnโ€™t work for you  @greeneyedgirl107 - I donโ€™t like the super tight itchy ones either 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@greeneyedgirl107, love that Innisfree clay mask! ๐Ÿ’– It's a staple for me, and this time of year, I'm upping my use from 1x per week to 2-3x depending on how oily I get. Good to know about the YTTP; I was curious about it, but it doesn't sound like I need to run out to try it.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

E is for Extreme

IMG_20210731_202056129.jpg

  • Vegan coconut jelly bio cellulose sheet
  • Fit was long at the chin, and the eye holes were small and round
  • Adherence was great
  • Serum was extremely thin like water, tons extra in the pouch
  • No scent detected at all
  • Wear time was 20 minutes
  • The results, were anything but extreme,,, maybe more hydrated, but I definitely didn't notice any moisturizing at all ๐Ÿคท I thought the serum was way too runny and thin to do much
  • No tackiness
  • I'd say more of a fail if you're looking for extreme moisturized skinIMG_20210731_202122725.jpg

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  It sounds like the best part about this mask was the material. Sorry to hear this one was a bummer!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85 exactly!! The material was definitely the best part ๐Ÿ˜†

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Darn itโ€™s to bad it didnโ€™t preform with extreme results @lmaster 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@ather it was an EXTREME disappointment lol

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  Sounds kinda messy. Hopefully it was at least a little refreshing.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@PrettyPaint it was different that's for sure ๐Ÿ˜†

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

That sounds like a letdown if you see the name and want something really moisturizing for some dry skin. Ah well, on the next! @lmaster 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@quspork when I seen the serum,,, I thought ๐Ÿค” this looks like water...I was thinking for it to be extreme,,, it should of been a cream or even milky consistency

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

It sounds like this one lives up to its name, @lmaster. And also like a great mask for winter ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe ๐Ÿ˜† nope it definitely did not live up to it's name,,, quite the opposite, but I'm glad I tried it

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Oh goodness, @lmaster - I missed that the results were definitely NOT extreme, ha! Never mind, just strolling by this mask then;)
