Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase.

Thanks so much @quspork. It seemed like a strange ingredient for a mask, but it was surprisingly nice!

[ather]

@PrettyPaint glad it was refreshing!

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @ather 

[eshoe]

Oooh it would be fun to try this one,

@PrettyPaint, but definitely not if it had a quinoa scent😂 It’s not terrible, just kind of...dusty? Anyhow, happy to hear you had a pleasant masking with it!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Your description made me laugh. I actually was having trouble conceptualizing how quinoa smells, but I totally get what you mean 🙂

[itsfi]

@PrettyPaint, it's always fun to read about a new to me skincare ingredient. Your results sound nice and, yes, good it didn't smell like quinoa. Not that quinoa has a bad scent to it, but it would probably make me hungry while masking. 😂

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Yeah, it did make me want quinoa just based on the fact that I haven't had it for so long.

[Weetart]

@PrettyPaint I have a few from this line and I do enjoy them. I may or may not still have this one around... forgot if I used it or gave it away. Glad to hear it was a successful mask!

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @Weetart. I haven't seen them around too much, so I wonder if they are being phased out...

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Sounds like a nice one! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😃

[Kim888]

@PrettyPaint @Sounds interesting! A super nice fitting mask is always hard to find! 

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  I totally agree. I quite frequently have trouble with mask fit, so it's always such a treat to try one that's low maintenance.

J as in just catching up with the last couple of weeks of masking... I swear I don't know where time goes these days. But anyway, here's a quick overview of a few from the stash from the last couple of weeks (minus wash-offs). 

Spoiler

Papa Recipe original Bombee Honey Mask- this one is a constant repurchase. I love it- so nourishing and hydrating, plus that honey scent- yum!

Spoiler

The Hanalei Papaya Mask - I grabbed this one out of the MOTM box, so thank you to whomever put that one in! This was a nice mask- tencel material that was comfortable to wear. It was slightly narrow on the fit and the eye holes were a touch too small for me, but overall, that wasn't an issue. There was maybe the lightest of fruit scents? Mostly just fresh. My skin felt nicely hydrated afterwards. I'd definitely use it again and now I'm checking out lip balms and oils on the company's site so... 😂

Spoiler

The Mitomo Royal Jelly and Cherry Blossom Mask. This has a really beautiful design for the packaging, but for me, the mask didn't live up to the beauty of the artwork. It was ok, but I wasn't wowed. I'd consider this a decent filler mask, I was nicely hydrated but not much else left an impression on me. 

Spoiler

Peripera Sparkling Cool Lime- I know @Shosh85 is a big Peripera fan and this is a nice cooling mask in their collection. It is certainly a refreshing one! The mask material was thin and fit and adhered nicely. It does feel cool against the skin. The mask claims to bubble a bit but it wasn't anything particularly noticeable for me. The scent was light, a little citrusy. This would be a great morning mask because it really wakes up your skin and gives it a really invigorating feeling. I'd definitely repurchase. 

Spoiler

The Creme Shop's Pomegranate Cranberry Fusion Mask- TCS is very hit or miss for me and this one was just kinda ok for me. I didn't care for the scent which hinted at fruity but really came off far too chemical. The material wasn't the best fit for me either. I did get some hydration but I would say that was about it. It's not a bad mask, but it's not one I'd go out of my way to use again. 

Spoiler

Isntree's African Baobab Seed Mask- Baobab is supposed to be a nice ingredient for helping with inflammation and is filled with various nutrients. The mask had no real scent and is made of thin fiber sheet covered with clear serum. The eye holes were slightly small, but overall the fit was decent. My biggest issue was that adherence wasn't great as it kept coming unattached at my chin. Aside from that, it was a nice mask though. It left me nicely hydrated with bouncy skin after removal. I would be interested to try it again during a breakout to see if it help with an of the acne inflammation. 

[lmaster]

I think almost all these masks look delicious and refreshing! @quspork great choices!

[quspork]

Ha, I don't think I realized how many fruits/foods were featured in all of these together, @lmaster 

[ShortErica]

I think I also took a hanalei out of MOtM so now I'm super excited @quspork. I have a duel of Mitomo masks for this week and between a blog I read and your review I'm keeping my expectations moderate so hopefully they work out as "fine" for me. Nice round up!

[quspork]

I look forward to your reviews, @ShortErica!

[ather]

@quspork  Great line up of masks!

[quspork]

Thanks, @ather!

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness @quspork, the Peripera sparkling mask - it has a cooling effect?!? I would stock up on those for summer 🏝 👍🏼 ☺️ Hopefully they aren’t part of the discontinued ones!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @quspork Peripera won't be making masks at all 😢 Clio Cosmetics is the parent company of Peripera and Goodal. Peripera will now be focusing on makeup and Goodal will be focusing on skincare. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, @WinglessOne)
