To Post:

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. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.

Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

@lmaster, spritzing a mist on your face might help too. Instructions for most sheet masks usually say to apply toner or essence first. I normally apply my mask after my serums but with bubbling masks since I need to wash it off after, I use them right after cleansing. Keep us posted on if it helps to use a hydrating serum beforehand.

[lmaster]

@itsfi ok just answered my question lol 

[lmaster]

@itsfi yep! And I usually do, when I seen this was a wash off mask, I didn't even bother, now seeing what happened, I definitely will even with a bubble mask

[itsfi]

Same here @lmaster! Though I also wonder if it would help if I cut down on the time I have on a bubble sheet mask? I'm sure I have another bubble sheet mask in my bin. I may try that next time, but maybe just keep it on until the foam covers most of my face? Hmmm... 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I know the one I just used said 20 minutes, I think 10 would be more than sufficient

@itsfi  Love the triple B's!
All the bubble masks I've ever tried makes my skin feel tight and dry - too bad this one had the same results!

The We Bare Bears line is so cute! Glad to hear the eye patches performed well!

[itsfi]

The We Bare Bears eye masks have been a lovely find @Shosh85. The materials is so thin that it clings to the skin, in a good way. Sad that the company is closing down.

Somehow I can’t tolerate bubbling masks @itsfi ! I constantly worry about having bubbles reach my eyes ! I’m glad that enjoyed the eye mask and that you were able to find a box of them at Miniso ! Miniso Canada went bankrupt last year 🥺

[itsfi]

I feel the same way about bubbling masks @keana1. I much prefer them in the form of a tinted wash-off mask - that way I can see where it will start foaming and I can control placement of the mask. Miniso here was having financial trouble before covid and if I’m remembering right, it declared bankruptcy not long after most retail stores were closed due to the pandemic. 

[keana1]

Same thing is happening up here @itsfi ! Bummer for everyone!

Coscodi Sparkling Wine Sheet Mask

This is a thin and meshy cotton sheet mask that was saturated with plenty of serum but there wasn't any extra in the pouch. It had a light and sort of sweet green grape scent. The fit was great and was only a little too long at the chin/jawline. I kept it on for about a half hour. There was some tackiness after removing but absorbed in about 10 minutes. My face looked a little brighter and my skin felt refreshed, soft and moisturized.

Even though this was about two months expired it turned out great! Haha! I'd definitely repurchase 👍

[ShortErica]

Expiration dates are just a suggestion 😉 Sounds very nice @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  Haha! Exactly 👌😉 I thought I was done with all my 2020 masks, but this one was hiding! 

[eshoe]

This one sounds nice, @Shosh85! Even post-try-me date;)I found one recently that expired earlier this year and it worked just fine, too. Good reminder to go through and double check for any lingering 2020’s☺️

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I have all my masks organized by year (and alphabetized within each year) and I had already gone through all my 2020 masks, but this one had slipped under neath the drawer I was keeping them in. I'll definitely need to purchase a fresher one soon 😉

[eshoe]

That’s a great idea for organizing them, @Shosh85. I might need to go through mine again, to weed out any lingering 2020 masks. Thanks for sharing your organization technique:)

@Shosh85 Ooooh.  I like the name of this mask.  😀

[Shosh85]

@tjffc  The name got my attention too and so did the refreshing-looking packaging! 😋

[ather]

@Shosh85  Sounds like a great mask!!

[Shosh85]

@ather  It was wonderful! 😃👍

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85 I LOVED that mask!   Two months expired is probably alright in most cases.  I get a little hesitant around the four month mark.
