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

@sister13   It’s really terrible!  I should have done that but i was having fun being impulsive.  I need more friends and family to off things on to make room for products I want to try.  It might be fun to do a challenge or something with the items I have unopened I know I’m not going to get to. 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I wondered about this one but have more than my fair share of sleeping masks at the moment. Still, the gel-to-oil formula sounds really interesting. 😃 And your results sound great.

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi Ha, we need a cream mask dispensary program where we can buy two to four newly released masking sessions at a time so we’re not sitting on so much product.  Or more faces:D 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I would be down for either! 😂 Though the cream mask dispensary program sounds more feasible, so let's go with that approach! 😅 I'm a little better with cream masks in terms of not having so many open (note that the emphasis is on "a little" - haha!) but it's easy to have them pile up - there are a lot of good ones out there that I want to try and the list seems to get longer by the day. I like it when brands have mini's or deluxe samples - or even multiple samples you can purchase.

@heartsmyface @I can’t wait to hear how it works long term! It sounds really interesting

An extraordinary exfoliating clay mask and a  # mask (@emaisgr8) 

The wash off Neogen clay mask delivers quick results - takes 5 minutes to clear our my pores and get rid of dead skin cells - this one is a weekly mask for me, sometimes more than once when I'm extra oily. My skin feels soft and smooth after using it.

The sheet mask makes my skin soothed and hydrated and brings down the redness I always have around my nose and on my cheeks when it's cold. I remembered @Shosh85 and @itsfi had good things to say about this brand and series and I jumped on it when I found a pack of 10 at Marshall's. The serum in it is light enough that it could be okay for my skin when it goes back to being its regular oily self.

@nuinui933 

Oh, I think that clay mask will need to be added to our list - sounds good. We just used the avocado sheet mask from that brand last month and liked it. The aloe one sounds good.

[missjeanie]

@nuinui933 Bahahahhaa... I thought this was a tub of ice cream!!  Clearly I'm thinking about treats.  Canadian glacial Soil eh.... that sounds kinda... cool.... Okay, I'll show myself and my dad jokes out now.

[Shosh85]

@nuinui933  So happy to hear you enjoyed the sheet mask! It really is such  a good, solid line of masks! 😃

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 the Tea Tree from this line is solid, too. Marshall’s and TJ Maxx can be hot or miss, this was a good find!

[lmaster]

@nuinui933 ohhh that clay mask sounds great!

[quspork]

The Neogen mask sounds really nice for cleaning out the pores, @nuinui933. And that Ariul line has some great masks in it- glad to hear the aloe version worked out well for you! 

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, ooh, I like the sound of that sheet mask toning down redness. I missed checking out that Neogen clay mask when Sephora carried it; will have to check it out sometime.

[heartsmyface]

@nuinui933  I’ve heard really good things about that Glacier Magic mask.  I’m glad it worked out for you.

This is an extraordinary exfoliator

Youth to the People Instant Microdermabrasion Enzyme Treatment

PROS: This is like the best physical exfoliant ever - I love it. 🖤🖤🖤 Softens and smoothes skin. My makeup always goes on like a dream whenever I use this.

CONS: I can only use this once a week. Love the effects but I don't want to overdo it with the exfoliation and compromise my skin barrier. 

REPURCHASE: BIG yes - don't even need to question it; waiting for a sale.

[missjeanie]

@erikarosenim Ohhhhh I've had this one on my list for some time now.  I just love the sound of the physical exfoliation here.  I could see myself easily over doing it with this one.  Is there a lovely scent to it?

[erikarosenim]

@missjeanie 

Ya know, I didn't think so but I just checked and there's a sorta fruit, tropical scent but it's super light.

[Shosh85]

@erikarosenim  Oh I've wondered about this one! Good to know your thoughts on it - it sounds great! 😃

[eshoe]

@erikarosenim isn’t it great to find a product that you enjoy using and your skin is happy with it, too? 💗

[erikarosenim]

@eshoe 

If my skin wasn't happy with it, I would not enjoy it. LOL

[lmaster]

@erikarosenim glad you love it!! Thanks for sharing your opinion 😊
