Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐
Not forgotten but definitely a wonder! Clarins Cryo-Flash Instant Lift Effect & Glow Boosting Face Mask 2.5 oz / 75 g tones, tightens and tackles time in ten minutes, all with a lovely cooling sensation that lasts long after the pale mint gel cream is tissued off, leaving skin feeling more hydrated, supple and slightly more taut. ๐
This jar will last me a while but it is one that I would repurchase once I make my way through it. And now, off to pull out and set on my counter a couple of masks for @missjeanie marvelous forgotten wonders theme!
@itsfi oh I agree, this one is a winner!! It was in my November favorites too ๐
I also wanted to let you know I tried another one of the SEPHORA COLLECTION Hot Cocoa Face Mask 1 mask / pack and guess what, this one had a playdough scent to it,,, guess what else I found out, there was a tiny pin poke hole in it. I'm not sure if the hole lead to the scent smelling off, I'd be curious if yours happened to have a hole in it that went undetected, or somehow was exposed to the air before we actually opened it, either way super disappointed
Yaaaay! We're mask twinsies @lmaster! How often are you using the Clarins cryo mask?
Oh noooooo!!! You picked up the playdoh smell?!! Grrrr!! I was holding out hope that I just got a dud! Ugh. Okay, I'll pull my other one out and try it. Wait, what?!! There was a pin poke hole in the mask?! Do you remember where you saw it? Lemme know when you get a chance and I'll take a look.
@itsfi I'm using it about 2-3 x a week, my skin feels softer and softer the more I use it ๐
I'm going to do my photos for my empties tomorrow and I'll pull it out, I actually think my other one has a hole in it as well.
I'll lyk and take a pic of the hole so you can see it
I have not looked at my last mask yet to see if it has a hole in it, but if it does, something is suspicious ๐ค
omg @lmaster, if only this platform had sound to accompany my reply. There would have been a huuuuge intake of breath and a big gasp when I saw your pic. WHAT?!!!! Oh, definitely suss (as I think the kids are saying these days ๐ or maybe they used to say it. If I know about it, it's probably something they used to say. I'm not current). I'm even more intrigued now.
This could be a mystery caper for the masking thread, Inspector Lmaster!!! ๐๐
@itsfi that word is fluent in my household ๐ with two boys 8&9!!
This sounds like a good one, @itsfi. Soft and supple are always nice results to have! Clarins is such an underrated brand IMO. They deserve more love!
Sheโs a beauty @quspork! ๐ ๐ฏ agree - Iโve been a fan of Clarins masks for some time but it seems like theyโve really upped their game (and potentially their marketing) of their skincare line simultaneously with their reformulations and repackaging. What Clarins products do you like or love?
@itsfi This sounds absolutely lovely, the cooling sensation would be fantastic for a pick-me-up in the morning time. Thanks for sharing! โค๏ธ
That's true @QueenMarceline; I've been rushed to get out the door most mornings so I hadn't thought about using the Clarins in the morning but you're right, that cooling feeling would be a lovely.
@itsfi I love that picture of the product.
Thank you so much @Samtian! I'm pleased with it. It was a bit of a happy accident and the frame turned out better than I could have imagined. Sometimes that's the way it goes.
A little "me" time
SEPHORA COLLECTION Holiday Coconut Foot Mask is currently out of stock online (hopefully to be restocked) but there should be some still available at your local store.
Wow!! @itsfi that's incredible for your feet!!
@itsfi These are probably my favorite type of foot mask SC produces. I hope they never get rid of this one, the discontinued Lavender was a great close second.
@QueenMarceline, sorry to hear they discontinued your lavender foot mask. I love these holiday versions - the foot mask sells out every year. Good news though is that the coconut flavor is available year round since it's part of the permanent line. No holiday print or packaging on it, but same great results.
@itsfi I think the Coconut is the one that has been a staple since they made the masks, Lavender I believe was replaced with Cactus which is still nice but for some reason the Lavender gave a very nice cooling effect (at least for me) that I've yet to find a replacement for. Fingers crossed that Coconut is here to stay, because she is a STAR ๐
