Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@nuinui933, I haven’t tried everything in the I’m From line but what I have tried, I’ve enjoyed. 😃 This was wonderfully soothing; my skin liked it. 👍🏼 I thought the mochi was filled with some sort of mugwort paste l, which would have been a first for me, but it turns out, that the mochi has mugwort powder in it. It’s filled with red bean paste.

Cissy63 · ‎11-12-2022

@itsfi This sounds wonderful for sensitive skin 😀

itsfi · ‎11-12-2022

@Cissy63, it is! Mugwort is known for its soothing properties and the soft and thin material do not irritate the skin. 👍🏼

Shosh85 · ‎11-12-2022

@itsfi Well, you definitely sold me on this one! It sounds amazing! 🙌 91.45% is kinda an odd number though 🙃

itsfi · ‎11-12-2022

This is a good one @Shosh85! 🌿💚🌿💚 I think the offbeat percentage just makes it more interesting. Ha! I've come up with different theories in my head as to the reason for it - nothing to back it up other than just theories in my head. 😆 A part of me thinks there must be a reason for it, but at the same time, another part of me hopes it's just something that happened to work out.

A while back I had gotten a sample of the Lush Beauty Sleep mask with an order. I think I got a bad batch. It looks absolutely nothing like the pictures on the website. It's really dry and this is what it looks like...I like pairing it with the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 oz That stuff is amazing. If I'm ever near a Lush store I'll have to see what the mask looks like there before I ever order a full size. It smells absolutely divine though.

It looks like acne all over lol. And zero of the purple mask.

lmaster · ‎11-20-2022

@Samtian is it supposed to be mixed with a little of water? I've never heard of this one before

Samtian · ‎11-23-2022

Nope! lushusa dot com /face/masks/beauty-sleep/9999960254 dot html

Cissy63 · ‎11-12-2022

No I would not use that product @Samtian! Something is wrong with it. I have to agree with you about PTR. Excellent 😀

Shosh85 · ‎11-12-2022

@Samtian Lush definitely has some nice smelling products! - too bad that was all this one had to offer 😕

Love that PTR mask - it's one of my most favorites! 😃

Samtian · ‎11-12-2022

@Shosh85 Lush smells too good for my wallet. The Pumpkin ah HG for sure.

itsfi · ‎11-12-2022

Yes to that PTR pumpkin enzyme mask @Samtian - love that stuff! 💖 That's too bad about the Lush mask. It does look very dry. I wonder if it's just gone bad - many of their masks have a very short shelf life.

Samtian · ‎11-12-2022

@itsfi Possibly, it looked like that when I got it though. I'm trying to power through it lol.

Kim888 · ‎11-12-2022

@Samtian @That’s a bummer! I always kind of forget about them as a brand !

Samtian · ‎11-12-2022

@Kim888 Haha I wish I could!

Picked up this Ulta “freeze” mask randomly because I was trying to get a gwp and needed a few more $$$

So I actually loved this and will totally buy it again. It is a two piece mask with a reasonable fit. The chin was a bit small but that happens to me for all two piece masks. It was gel like material, though not as high quality as some gel type masks.

The mask itself smells heavily of aloe. I took it out of the fridge and it felt nicely cooling and comforting for the whole time I wore it. It was not tacky after. It wasn’t really hydrating but it was very soothing and comforting .

@Kim888 im always on the hunt for a nice soothing mask, you never know when you need one

Cissy63 · ‎11-12-2022

I can see this in the summer @Kim888, especially after a beach day 😃

itsfi · ‎11-12-2022

Ohhh, this one has defnitely piqued my curiosity @Kim888! I'm all for a 2-piece mask - they generlaly maker for a better fit and feel in my experience. I've not seen the aloe + caffeine pairing but it sounds like it would be great. It's too bad that it wasn't as hydrating as you'd like but a soothing and comforting mask sounds like a great one to have on hand. I wonder if the hydrating effects of this particular mask would be better suited for the warmer months.

Shosh85 · ‎11-11-2022

@Kim888 Ooooh, I definitely need to try this one - it sounds wonderful! I bet it would be perfect for summer! ☀️

I need to get through some of my masks so I can make room for new one!!! This one has the most amazing scent. Very sweet. Definitely melon scented. I left it on around 20 minutes. I did notice a bit of tingling because I have some problem skin from over use of acids. It claims to moisturize I think it did give some but I needed to add a bit extra. Over use of acids and shovelling snow in the freezing cold probably didn’t help my skin. The fit was ok a bit large not a deal breaker. I would definitely use again maybe better in the warmer weather!
