[Samtian]

[eshoe]

Happy (belated) Birthday, @Samtian!!!

 Happy to hear you celebrated with masks better than this one 😉 

[Samtian]

@eshoe Thank you and haha yes definitely!

[itsfi]

That berry blast mask sounds fantastic @Samtian! Hope you are having a fabulous birthday week!! 🎂 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you, I really liked it. And it has been!

[quspork]

I hope you had a wonderful birthday, @Samtian! That looks like some great self-pampering to celebrate!

[Samtian]

@quspork Thank you, I did!

[Shosh85]

@Samtian Say what?!....I didn't know yesterday was your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! That'll be an easy one for me to remember since it's my niece's birthday too 😉 🎉🎊🎂🥳

Looks like you kept yourself busy! Lol! Glad to hear you liked the fruit mask, but too bad the others weren't too impressive. 

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Thank you!! Yeah a birthday twin! 

[itsfi]

A cute froggy mask that also gives me a R for ribbit 🐸 Great theme @Shosh85! 😁

The Creme Shop Tidy Up, Skin is a medium thick cotton sheet mask that is drenched in a clear, lightly floral, ever so slightly herbal scented essence. I was a little nervous this mask would carry a heavy tea tree oil scent but that was (thankfully) not the case. Adherence is good, and fit can be made to work with a few snips here and there. For purposes of keeping the mask intact to show off its cuteness, I didn't use my scissors on the extra length, but did make a few small incisions to the inner corner of the eyes to help the mask lie flat against my skin and to maneuver the material so as to not have it hovering so closing to my tear ducts. 

There's the slightest tackiness after an half hour of wear; not a deal breaker for me since I continue on with the rest of my skincare routine and the tacky-to-the-touch feeling becomes a non-issue. My complexion looks dewy, brightened, with some redness around my nose and cheeks looking less red, and my skin feels soothed and hydrated.  That said, I'm not sure whether the ingredients listed for this mask are right. I don't see anything to suggest that it includes the tea tree it claims to be infused with.

A Tidy Up Skin mask sounds just about right, @itsfi. It's one of the cutest I've seen, too. Nice work, Creme Shop! 

[itsfi]

@eshoe, The Creme Shop seems to be revamping its sheet mask collections, clearing out some entirely, while some lines are having some of their original fusion masks replaced with new ones, but their animated animals series seems to be growing, along with their collaboration masks.

I’ve noticed that, @itsfi! When I ordered a holiday set last year, there were quite a few dupes in terms of title/name, but the dupes had new packaging. The Peppermint Cocoa Clarifying mask was one of them. I believe (but would need to double-check) removing denatured alcohol was one thing I noticed.

[itsfi]

"removing denatured alcohol was one thing I noticed." @eshoe, if TCS is reformulating their masks with better ingredients, I'm good with them revamping their sheet mask lineup. 😀

[eshoe]

@itsfi I have used most of them, and of course this one did not have DA, but thought I would share a comparison anyway:

[Kim888]

Omg this fits the theme so well @itsfi - glad to hear it worked nicely as well!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, TCS animated sheet masks are really hit and miss for me so I was happy this one was a hit! 🐸 

[lmaster]

They sure do nail it with the cuteness factor!! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Yes they do @lmaster. Most of TCS animated masks that I’ve used have been high on the cuteness factor! 😃

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh my goodness this is such a cute one!...... love the "r for ribbit" 😊😆 

I was confused about the Tea Tree thing too, so I looked it up and found out they are referring to the "Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract" that's in it 👇
