Glad this one worked out nicely for you, @lmaster! I always like the little designs on the HK masks.

[PrettyPaint]

This is such a cute mask @lmaster. Too bad it appears to be LE.

[lmaster]

P is for pink and pearl, and for @sonnydee's rainbow theme - sure, technically ROYGBIV doesn't recognize pink as a color of the rainbow, a point acknowledged by my niece, but she also told me that it should be. I see her point. lol. 

Sheet Mask:

Spoiler

I know I've used and posted about a few sheet masks in The Creme Shop Correct Solutions line, but I can't recall if I've posted about the pink mask in particular. It seems like the masks in TCS Correct Solutions line is being phased out as I no longer see it available directly on TCS site. Each of the various masks in this line are/were geared to a specific skin concern, or concerns, in some cases. The Creme Shop Color-Correcting Pink Sheet Mask is a pink hued thick-leaning natural eucalyptus sheet mask that contains rose water and pearl essence, targets "sallow, lackluster skin", and claims to counter "olive undertones to reveal a beautifully balanced complexion." There's an absolutely divine and fresh rose cream scent that I find beautiful, but those sensitive to fragrance will want to pass on this mask. I actually pick up a fruity scent in this as well, one that reminds me of lychees, which makes the scent on this mask stand out from other rose-scented products. If there was an actual cream or lotion with this scent, I would definitely purchase it. ❤️

In terms of performance, I'd say that the mask lived up to its claims in that my skin felt nicely hydrated and my complexion looked brighter, more fresh and awake, but I'm not certain if it did so in any sort of way that set it significantly apart from other sheet masks with similar claims and ingredients. It's suited for all skin types except that those sensitive to fragrance (or another ingredient in the mask) or who don't like thicker, heavier masks may want to pass on this one. Also, those with extremely dry or very dehydrated skin might not find the hydration enough, except for perhaps the warmest part of the year. That being said, I found this mask to work nicely on my skin and it's one that I would use again if I had another of it, which I think I may.

Lip Care:

Spoiler

KNS Beauty Supa Scrub and KNC Beauty Supa Balm are two lip care products that I've used before - the scrub is gentle enough that it can be used every day and with the cool weather looking like it's more inclined to stay moving forward, I need to be better about exfoliating my lips more regularly and I think this will be one of the primary lip scrubs I reach for through the end of the year.  The KNS Beauty Supa Scrub comes in a set with a super cute physical scrubbing product made of silicone and shaped like a pair of lips, for some extra exfoliation. I tend to use the lip scrub on its own because quite frankly, I've just been too lazy these days to reach for the physical scrubber. I know, I know, do better Fi! Work in progress, folks; work in progress. 😉 The KNC Beauty Supa Balm has a rosy scent to it and it kinda tastes rosy to me too. It's made of moringa, cotton and kukui oils and shea butter so it glides effortlessly on the lips and keeps them feeling soft and moisturized. Sephora currently carries the brand's under eye and lip mask patches and I'd love to see the range expand to include more of their products, including the new sheet mask sets in this brand's portfolio.

@itsfi thank you for mentioning the eye patches from KNC Beauty, I am very interested in those and will check them out!

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  The color-correcting line seems like a nice one! I haven't tried this one yet, but I have tried the Orange and Green ones and loved them! So happy to hear it's a repurchase for you! 😃

[Kim888]

@itsfi @A color correcting mask sounds really interesting ! Anything that visibly  brightens is always nice ! 

[quspork]

The SupaScrub and Balm combo sounds like a nice one, @itsfi. Maybe Sephora will expand their offerings from the brand soon. 

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  I haven't seen that mask around, but it looks really nice. And to my eyes, the indigo/violet transition reads a bit pinkish anyhow. 🙂

[sonnydee]

I have this mask @itsfi nice to know its enjoyable. What?! Pink is not in the rainbow? Not according to my mini, teeni too. But she out grew it. 😒💖

[lmaster]

@itsfi pink should definitely be in the rainbow!! Awesome masking

[sonnydee]

Last nights mask for Forgotten mask week. But also P for Amore Pacific 

AMOREPACIFIC Treatment Enzyme Peeling Masque 2.70 oz/ 80 mL 

This is a pretty gentle, fast peel.

I think i have already killed a ds b& since these are only about half filled shouldnt be a problem to kill more. 

The smell is the typical AP. I like it, feels like a luxe spa treatment. You leave it on for only 5 min. It doesnt really dry down but remains pretty creamy. Does not tighten at all. Washing off, I did get impatient & used a cloth

 

. My skin was left soft but not stripped. I'm not sure about buying a fs. I like a bit more harsher exfoliater & i think it might get pushed aside & its on the pricier side. But still does what it promises so 💜💜💜💜💜

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  I have a DS if this as well, so I'm happy to hear it worked out nicely for you! 😃

[quspork]

I love most AP products and need to try this one out. It sounds like it worked out lovely for you, @sonnydee. 

[lmaster]

@sonnydee sounds great!!

P for pesto and pineapple:

Spoiler

The Pangea Facial Mask is like a salad for your face. It’s not the prettiest, and after going back and forth between kale and basil, I’ve determined the scent to border on pesto. It has a literal smorgasbord of edible ingredients including basil, matcha tea, kombu, and goji. 

I wanted to add antenna and a little smiley face to this, but refrained. It is slightly greener than this photo would suggest, and the little exfoliating bits are soft, not at all harsh. It almost dries down after 15-20 minutes, but doesn’t make my skin feel tight. It’s a bit messy to wash off, but leaves my skin a little brighter, and maybe even a bit more smoothed in appearance. I’ve used it a few times and find it both weird and enjoyable☺️

The A’Pieu Icing Sweet Bar in Pineapple is a repeat and will be until it is discontinued. It has the most deliciously-sweet pineapple scent, ample serum (very drippy, but in a good way!) and leaves my skin happy and just a little bit plumped. No residual tack, either! Love this one and every other Icing Sweet Bar mask for the fun and fruity scents and ease of use.
