@Kim888, I had a similar take on this mask. It’s a nice one; not one I would consider a must have but I would be happy to use it again.

W for watermelon

The clear, slightly viscous essence saturating the super thin Tencel sheet of the Too Cool For School Natural Vita Mask (Hydration) has a delicious watermelon candy scent - not a watermelon jolly rancher scent that many of us have become familiar with when it comes to watermelon sheet masks, but more like the watermelon scent from watermelon gummies. The sheet feels soft against the skin, the thinness hugging every curve like second skin, with the lightly cooling sensation from the essence creating a sense of refreshing calm. (FYI: The actual watermelon 🍉 was actual refreshing! 😉) A few adjustments to the length at the chin and the openings for the eyes and mouth are all that's needed for a tailored fit and the claims of hydration are felt even before removing the mask. The packaging may have you believe that this is an ideal mask for the warmer months and I don't doubt that, but having used it this week, I'd say that it could work beautifully year round and will most certainly be repurchased.

To the product development team at Too Cool For School, well done! 👏 This is a great addition to the TCFS family and its sheet mask collection. Now, if you can spare a few minutes, might we talk about bringing back the Coconut Ceramide Mask?

Yes maskers, I will take every opportunity to try to bring that lovely mask back. 😂 @Shosh85  

[lmaster]

Ohhhh and it's packaging is so tempting!! @itsfi added to list 🤣

[itsfi]

@lmaster, yes! A good mask all around! The packaging definitely draws you in. 🍉 It did me! 😂 

[eshoe]

@itsfi I tried this one as well and enjoyed it much more than the Kale version. Sounds similarly like real life 😄

[itsfi]

Oh, was the kale mask not good or was it just that the watermelon version is better @eshoe? Haha! I like kale-watermelon-and-berry smoothies but if given a choice of just one, I'm with you, go for the watermelon! 😂 💓🍉

[eshoe]

Hmmmm yes watermelon smoothies, please @itsfi 😋

It seemed to me that everything about the strawberry mask was superior; even the fit. That being said, the kale mask wasn’t bad. It  was just more of a filler mask for me. I actually did not touch the watermelon one for awhile because my expectations toward it were dampened. Luckily, it was a case of unintentionally saving the best for last!

[missjeanie]

Oh man..... I looked at this and thought "I don't remember this TCFS mask... Almost let myself wander over to a purchasing site until I remembered that I still had a few of the coconut ceramide left... in my suitcase of masks that I've barely touched all year... Dang @itsfi your photos always tempt me!!

[itsfi]

Hahaha @missjeanie, it feels like sheet masks have a way of enticing us to pick up just one more … 🛍

[Kim888]

I legit thought there was a piece of watermelon in there haha, very realistic art on the packaging @itsfi - this sounds amazing! 

[missy94612]

@Kim888 

I thought the same thing! 🤣 

@itsfi 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, that would be a good idea for a sheet mask if they can find a way to pull it off. TCFS did a nice job with the packaging.

[Samtian]

@itsfi That looks cool!

[itsfi]

@Samtian, the packaging is a lot of fun and it’s great that the mask performs well too.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Ummm, yes, please bring the Coconut Ceramide back! I really miss that one! 
I didn't even know this watermelon one existed - it sounds wonderful! I'm on a mask no-buy, but this one is definitely calling to me! Watermelon gummies? .... yum! I'm happy to hear they made another winner! 🍉😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, these are new to the TCFS sheet mask line up. For the longest time after the Coconut Ceramide mask was discontinued, the only TCFS sheet masks I came across were from the egg line. Then one day, I was just minding my own business sauntering about a local sheet mask store I probably had no business being in 😂 and I saw this one. The thought did cross my mind that there was a possibility this would turn out poorly but it did not and for that I and my skin are happy. Looks like there is a kale mask and a lemon one in this line. I may try those other flavors eventually but I'm not rushing into it; I'll be happy repurchasing this watermelon mask.

I was lucky enough to wake up with a cold so I got to stay home and get tested today. But I decided since I was stuck home in the middle of a snow storm and no power to light a candle and do some self care!

candle is Summer Fridays Soft Vanilla Candle 8 oz/ 226 g  the scent is just like the name soft. I really enjoy it. It’s like a hug from a good friend. Makes me feel soft and fuzzy. @itsfi 

First mask I used Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask 5 oz/ 148 mL  I’ve used it before and love it. This is my first time using ahas in a while. I was a little bit nervous but my face seemed fine and I didn’t end up with a reaction so bonus points!!

Sosoopl was gifted to me by the lovely @eshoe  just as her note described it had a light pear scent. It was perfect to use after the PTR mask my skin needed that extra little moisture. My face felt hydrated and glowing after. I would definitely use this one again. Thank you for sharing it with me! 
Lastly I used KILIAN Paris Apple Brandy Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray  which paired nicely with the light pear scent from the mask. This scent brings out a nice fresh fruity scent for me and I really enjoyed catching the scent all day. Plus the bottle is gorgeous!!

[lmaster]

Ohhhh sounds like a nice masking sesh!! I hope you feel better!! @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  Thanks sweetie!! Still sick but needed to leave my house. Plus my test was negative. Came to work today to have no internet so can’t work 🤣

[lmaster]

Oh goodness!! @ather how much we depend on technology huh

[ather]
