Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

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.

Interesting @sonnydee, was your pimple without a head? I don't get those deep ones often but when I do, I'm looking for something to ease the pain and lessen the time since the hydrocolloid patches tend to do well on only the ones already popping out.

[sonnydee]

Yes @ShortErica they want you to use these on newly formed so mine was at the sore bump stage but no head. I woke to it being so small & now its completely gone.😍 so it works but expensive

[itsfi]

I’ve wondered about these @sonnydee. 🧐 It’s always nice to find something you’d use on the stubborn ones that always seem to make an appearance at the most inconvenient times!!! 😖 

[sonnydee]

You only get 4 in the small pack & so one night you could end up using them all! @itsfi so yeah, save these for the more stubborn ones.

@sonnydee  Thanks for the great review! Good to know peace out is a better bang for my buck!

[sonnydee]

Definitely @ather 🤗

[PrettyPaint]

@sonnydee  Oh, I remember being confused about the swab thing. I think I also got a free sample from ulta and was trying to figure out what the swab thing meant.

[sonnydee]

I think they must've overlooked adding a swab to the sample @PrettyPaint mine didn't have 1 either & it left me scratching my head too 🤷😜

[eshoe]

@sonnydee pretty sure this is the most intricate packing I've seen for a pimple patch. Seems no matter what I try, the heavy hitter still remains Kate Somerville EradiKate 1 oz/ 30 mL. 

[sonnydee]

I'm happy to hear that you found something that works @eshoe it's always a good feeling. That one was a different one too 🤔 but sadly, did not a thing for me.

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  These sound nice! Glad to hear it helped! I definitely agree though, it's hard to beat the Peace Out ones! 😃

[lmaster]

That's a pretty cool looking pimple dot @sonnydee 

[Kim888]

Sounds interesting @sonnydee @but agreed it’s hard to beat the peace out ones

Taking a page from @Weetart's brilliant tie-in earlier this year for an O mask, I went with an O for oeufs (French for eggs). 🥚🥚

Eggs!!! (or for the letter of the week, ouefs!)

Dear Packer Egg Ceramide Mask comes with two separate sheet masks, both fashioned after your traditional egg. One mask, the white mask, focuses on the egg white and the other, the yellow mask, shines a spotlight on the egg yolk. I used these masks earlier this week but having put up this post, I'm thinking an omelette might be on tonight's dinner menu. 🥚😉

Spoiler

	Egg White Mask	Egg Yolk Mask
Material & Essence:	Medium thick cotton mask saturated in slightly viscous essence	Soft, slightly thick-ish, stretchier yellow-hued cotton fiber heavily coated in a creamy, milky essence
Fit & Adherence:	This mask seemed more narrow at the sides, which is actually better for me. About half an inch too long at the chin and slightly short at the forehead (though to be fair, I have a lot more forehead than the norm - lol). Holes for the eyes and mouth were very narrow and both required adjustments. Adherence was good.	Similar to the egg white mask as far as width was concerned. Only slightly long at the chin and the holes for the eyes and mouth were slightly wider than the egg white mask, but I still made adjustments to the inner corners of the eyes for a better fit. Adherence was good.
Scent:	Smelled slightly of a floral lotion. Fades away by the time the mask is smoothed over the contours of the face.	Very faint scent, with perhaps a chemical scent. Not off-putting but not necessarily pleasant. Wears off almost immediately upon removal from packet.
Claim(s):	Smooths rough, flaky skin	Nourishing, moisturizing and provides elasticity to the skin
Performance & Results:	Interestingly, about half way through my wear time, I felt light tingling on my right cheekbone for maybe a minute or two. I was paying extra attention after that and was prepared to remove the mask if the tingling continued but it (thankfully) stopped tingling. There was some essence remaining after I removed the mask but my skin absorbed it pretty quickly. My skin felt soft, smooth, hydrated and bouncy / plump.	I felt a slight tingling in my lower leftside of my chin at around minute 3, but it didn't linger longer than a minute. Results-wise, oooouuuhh! This one will be nice for those with dehydrated or dry skin, or those looking for a nourishing mask on a cold night. My skin felt very moisturized after removing and I thought I might be able to forego moisturizer. That wasn't the plan but I ended up falling asleep shortly after removing the mask and without applying mymoisture (eek!). To my great surprise, when I looked in the mirror this morning, my skin looked and felt moisturized, without any dry patches and without any feeling of dryness or tightness.

What a fun selection @itsfi ! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @Weetart! And, thank you for doing the O for oeufs theme first. 🥚😀

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Gudetama is so cute! His bare little booty always cracks me up!

So happy to hear the sheet masks turned out wonderfully despite the tingling! Is it something you'd repurchase? I can totally see how this session would make you hungry for an omelette! 😉😋🍳🥚

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I would repurchase the mask - it looks like it's currently out of stock at the moment, which is probably better for keeping me on the straight and narrow when it comes to getting through what remains of my stack of pre-2020 sheet mask. 😂 Love Gudetama. 💛 Dear Packer should do a special edition collab of this mask with Gudetama! I mean, no one asked me, but I'm just sayin'! 🤣

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh my gosh,,, super cute theme!! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster! 😁 I'm coming to terms with the fact that the vast majority of my themes for masking involve food. Hahahaha! 🤣 I can't figure out whether I draw inspiration for a masking sesh based on the food item, or if the mask I choose makes me hungry for a particular food. 😂🤣😂 At this point though, regardless of which came first, I see it as I get to mask and I get to eat. Win-win! 😉

[MCSSavvy]

@itsfi  - You are far braver than I.  I looked at the package and thought nope -- love eggs just can't imagine an egg based mask on my face.  Immediate thought - the boiled egg smell.  Sorry you had the bad sensation on your face.  Must say the first little package was quite thou.
