MarchMarch Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline  Yay glad this one worked for you!!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@ather me too. Such a good mask ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline, this is a good one! There are a few masks from TCS that I would repurchase and this is one of them. I first learned of this one from @lmaster and itโ€™s one that makes my skin happy. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ It doesnโ€™t hurt that the packaging and the mask design are really cute. ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi oh yes!!! I love this mask @QueenMarceline 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi Definitely agreed. This one was a winner โค๏ธ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Hey y'all, I'm very overdue for this one (as has become usual) this is an entry from the end of last month so it's for last month's theme. I've had a busy few couple of weeks but I figure I'd still post this one. ๐Ÿ™‚ Better late than never.

 

The Creme Shop Witchhazel Face Mask

My thoughts: 

Spoiler
As some have picked up on I love The Creme Shop masks so I usually already have a pre-set high standard for when I judge one of their products. I picked this one up randomly at some shop because I absolutely loved the packaging. The cute little witch hats got me: hook, line sinker. I usually am not the biggest fan of witch hazel, I love it's properties and effects but my skin can be very iffy and picky with brands when I've used it in the past. I really took a gamble with this one and I'm so glad I did! This mask also has little flaps over the eyes which allow the user to choose to wear them over (closed) eyes or "flap them open" in order to have a more traditional sheet mask effect. Despite the versatility, I'm not a fan of this style of mask and much prefer the traditional face masks. The mask came with an ample amount of serum, enough that I was able to use the remainder of the satchel on other areas of my body and face. Noticing right out of the packaging, it did not have much of a scent. I was pleasantly surprised by this mask when I put it on, the mask was comfortable, had a very gentle effect and did not irritate my sensitive skin. I was able to get a decent amount of longevity out of this one: the wear time was about 25 minutes before it started to dry out a bit. After removing the mask I noticed that the following morning my face felt very refreshed. It appeared to give a temporary, slight pore-shrinking effect and also left behind a bit of a hydrating effect which is fantastic for a mask that targets oil production/acne prone that tend to dry out the skin. I would definitely repurchase this mask and I hope I can find another couple of thee to keep on hand. Highly recommend trying this one out!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

A slight pore-shrinking sounds very promising, @QueenMarceline

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe This one was a winner, shame it's so elusive to find out in the wild.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I love how they've updated their packaging! Glad to see it's a winner @QueenMarceline 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster me too! ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline, what fun packaging on the mask! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Nice to hear itโ€™s a mask you like. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I'd love to try it out again, the only place I'm seeing it is bed bath and beyond and possibly Macy's. Very strange.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline, The Creme Shop has varied distribution partners and it's hard if not impmossible to determine in advance which stores receive / will receive which masks. Sometimes, they'll pop up at TJ Maxx / Marshall's / Winners along with CVS or Ulta, and sometimes they'll show up even before the masks appear on the brand's site online. The witch hazel one is available online at The Creme Shop direct and from time to time they have 20% off sales.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi Ah that makes a bit more sense. I wish there was a more centralized place to look for all of them. I've been loving their animal printed masks and you can get them pretty affordable at amazon which always comes in handy when I want to impulse buy ๐Ÿ˜œ hahahah

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline @I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen this version before !! Thanks for sharing - it sounds like one worth looking out for !

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Kim888 It's a great one ๐Ÿ™‚ a nice hit from The Creme Shop

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

A Mask Good Enough to Eat


๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ‰ Watermelon 

 

This mask is one I really liked 

 
Per elf this mask will hydrate and plump the skin using watermelon extract.  Ceramides to build up the moisture barrier of skin some cocoa butter to lock in moisture.

 

The consistency was thick , but it didnโ€™t need to be layered on really thick to get a benefit  from it. 

The pink color was vibrant but I did not see any sparkle as described on the tube.

 

My skin didnโ€™t react to it! Yeah!

 

There was a sweet smell but I didnโ€™t pick up watermelon.  

My face was soft, well hydrated and bright.  My pores even looked smaller.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Cissy63 I've got tried this one, but I did love the moisturizer from this line

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Good to know @lmaster, thanks!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Cissy63, so glad to hear your skin did not react negatively to this mask. The ingredients sound good and those results, wow! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Interesting that you didnโ€™t get any sparkle from a mask with โ€œglitterโ€ in its name. ๐Ÿ˜† I wonder if you see sparkle in the product with subsequent use, maybe it just wasnโ€™t in the product that first came out from the tube? Youโ€™ll have to let us know if that is the case. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  I was wondering that myself.  I will keep the community informed if I see any๐Ÿ˜€. Thank you!
