Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@eshoe - those sequins are fun! The ho-ho-ho is a great festive touch too - did you write it or is a sticker?

eshoe · ‎12-15-2021

Thank you, @eshores! it is actually an acrylic cutout, meant for a gift tag/packaging. I think it was a World Market find.

itsfi · ‎12-12-2021

@eshoe, great choices for a pamper sesh! 😍 That's too bad about the scent on the Eve Lom mask.

Agree about not waiting for a rainy day; easy to say, hard to do though - I have said that one of the best special occassions for masking is a day ending in "y". 😉💖

eshoe · ‎12-13-2021

Your special day categorizing is duly noted, @itsfi ☺️ Better to make it a ‘rainy day’ than an ‘expired’ (mask) day!

sister13 · ‎12-12-2021

Lovely! I got this Chantecaille mask recently but since it’s sealed I thought I’d wait a bit before opening. @eshoe

eshoe · ‎12-12-2021

@sister13 I am not as patient as you, apparently. I waited a day and was quite proud of myself 😂

lmaster · ‎12-12-2021

This definitely sounds like a luxurious masking sesh! @eshoe

eshoe · ‎12-12-2021

It sure felt like it, @lmaster! It is fun having one of these around this time of the year👍🏼

Shosh85 · ‎12-11-2021

@eshoe It's too bad this this Eve Lom mask didn't perform as well as the last one! I know I've owned some masks I felt the need to hoard!

eshoe · ‎12-11-2021

It happens too easily, doesn’t it, @Shosh85? I still hoard When but so far none have expired. So far!

A mask for a little extra pampering . . .

Hello Goodness, indeed!!! Chocolate ... mmmm....

Spoiler

First of all, let me get this out of the way … the Lovinah Chocolate Truffle Collagen Boosting Antioxidant Mask smells amazing!!!! Uh - may - zing!! Chocolate goodness, indeed (how cute is the inside flap on the lid to the box?)! At least initially. There is a brief moment when I pick up an earthiness (likely from the mushroom extract) and then later, also briefly, a floralness to the fragrance, but both quickly evaporate, and then there’s the very welcome return to the delicious chocolate scent! It smells like chocolate cake batter as it first gets poured into a pan and placed in the oven. This yumminess lingers just so, wafting in and out every so often.

The dark chocolate hued cream mask applies smoothly onto the skin. I did pick up what might be cocoa nibs ever so sparingly scattered throughout, but they seemed to dissintegrate / melt into the creaminess of the mask as I massaged the product into the skin. The mask claims a host of skincare benefits - from detoxifying, nourishing and hydrating skin to reducing inflammation, boosting cell turnover and slowing down the skin’s aging process. The latter two seems like something that requires more than a single use to see any visible results so those will be addressed at a later date. I surprisingly didn’t have any redness this morning so I couldn’t speak to those claims in this instance. As for the other claims, well, I’m happy to say they were on point. After rinsing off the mask following 15 minutes of wear, my skin looked more clear, and felt soft, smooth, and hydrated with a bit of bounce to it.

The one small downside of this particular mask is that, unlike the royal jelly overnight mask from the brand, this one did not come with a spatula, at least mine did not include one. It's hardly a deal breaker for me as I have others I can use, including the one that accompanied the royal jelly mask.

This mask really is "chocolate goodness"! 💖 I’ll be reaching for this one on a weekly basis, both for these great results and to get in a fix of chocolate-y goodness without the calories! 😍

@itsfi - OMG chocolate? Does it taste like chocolate too? 😍

itsfi · ‎12-22-2021

@eshores, I didn’t put it to a taste test but will try to remember to do that the next time I reach for this one. 🍫

missy94612 · ‎12-12-2021

@itsfi

Chocolate?! My husband and I are in! He just said he's sure Santa has already put it in his sleigh. LOL.

itsfi · ‎12-12-2021

Love this @missy94612! 💖 Your husband is such a good sport! Both of you will looooove this chocolate mask! Maybe Santa will toss in some actual chocolate too! 🍫

itsfi · ‎12-12-2021

@lmaster, I will not try to dissuade you! 😂

Goooo girl, get all the masks! 🛍 It's an investment. 😉

missy94612 · ‎12-12-2021

@lmaster

LOL.

lmaster · ‎12-13-2021

@missy94612 @itsfi in it for life 🙌😅

eshoe · ‎12-10-2021

Mmmmmmm, chocolate cake batter in a mask, sounds like the perfect dessert @itsfi 😋 What a great duo of masks you picked!

itsfi · ‎12-12-2021

@eshoe, I had to resist the urge to bake a cake. 🍫🍰😂 Not surprising; I often pair my masking with food of some sort - ice cream 🍨 a host of times - chocolate, strawberry, etc., cake 🎂 every so often, coffee ☕ whenever I can and tea 🍵, etc. This was a good mask; I've had good results from all the products I've tried from the brand so far. 😁
