This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

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.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

I'm pretty sure they have other varieties to on this brand @lmaster   I really want to try Wander Beauty's eye mask if it turns up in a Winners or Marshall's 🤩

[sister13]

Nice, thanks for the detailed description! @CynthieLu

[eshoe]

That sounds like a great little eye mask, @CynthieLu! Little touches like the spatula are always appreciated, too 🙂 

[CynthieLu]

Totally agree @eshoe it's the little things that can really impress you

I've been incorporating the SEPHORA COLLECTION Super Glow Mask with Vitamins C + E in my routine for a couple of months now. This unscented, gel-cream feels light when spread across the face but there's also enough richness to the consistency that my skin feels it is being nourished. The product has an apricot hue in the tub but this tint is undetectable when applied on the skin. My drier leaning skin absorbs the product with ease and feels lightly moisturizing; there's the slightest bit of tack that very quickly dissipates. 

Used as an overnight mask, my skin feels soft and smooth the next morning. It looks refreshed and brightened as well. Over time, this brightening effect takes on more radiance, as the product, with regular use, reduces the appearance of darker spots. 

I've also used this product as a daytime moisturizer in a pinch and it has performed well to hydrate and moisturize my skin, and also to prep and prime it for makeup. 

Overall, it's a nice mask. I have used a plethora of sleeping masks since I've started masking so it's always tough when a new one joins the mix. This one falls in the middle of the pack - it's a good mask. I really like that the reformulation that the Sephora Collection has done with its skincare products has included the removal of added fragrance from the ingredients. The middle categorization really has to do with my having some sleeping masks that I either love or just like slightly more than this one. That said, I would happily recommend it.

@itsfi  Oh I like the idea of helping dark spots.  Sounds like you have a winner.

@itsfi  This one sounds so lovely!! I love that SC is a great affordable option as well!! 

[itsfi]

@ather, agreed! The combination of vitamins C and E is supposed to be good for the skin too! 👍🏼

[lmaster]

@itsfi sounds lovely

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it was. Another sleeping mask to add to the list of good ones. 😂 

[missy94612]

@itsfi 

How often do you use sleeping masks? Can you use them every night?

[itsfi]

@missy94612, most sleeping masks say to use once or twice per week. I don’t typically veer too far away from that; depending on the season, my usage is typically 0 - 3 times per week but the 3x is rare; typically in the cooler season and I have a heavy or busy travel schedule. I have used them every night on one, maybe two, occasions since I first learned of sleeping masks. I typically don’t deviate too far from what’s recommended.

I

habe a couple of SC skincare products in the vault (but not this one). Glad to hear you were pleased with it. @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@sister13, love that you have a skincare vault! That’s awesome. 🤩 

[eshoe]

@itsfi this sounds like a mask I would use. The consistency and lack of scent make it a great option for just wanting to give your skin some love without the fuss. Thank you for the review!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, it’s a nice mask; hope it performs well for you if you decide to pick it up.

[quspork]

Thanks for the review on this one, @itsfi! It sounds like a pretty decent option for that price point. 

[itsfi]

@quspork, I think a lot of the Sephora Collection products are underrated. They have some good products regardless of the price point. Theirs makes some even more enticing. 

[CynthieLu]

@itsfi I agree with you,  fragrance can be nice but it's not for everyone. I like when it's left out just because my skin is so sensitive and sometimes it can or can't handle it in my masks.

I think the price point on this one wouldn't be to bad either 🙂

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, added fragrance seems to have been taken out of many products with this particular reformulation. I think it’s a good move. I can appreciate that the brand has French origins where parfum is used often in formulas and is expected to be there. But with skincare and here in North America, added fragrance isn’t necessarily looked upon that same way and to your point, it can be problematic especially for our sensitive skin.
