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

@ather, a strawberry scent would have been so nice but unscented makes it better for a wider audience and the ingredients and results are good so better to have it more accessible to others. I can always get a yummy strawberry scent by pairing it with the Skinfood strawberry black sugar wash off mask ... or a scoop of strawberry ice cream. 🍓🍨 Hahaha! 😂 😉 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I can actually smell strawberry shortcake's hair through your post 😆 ahhhhh memories!!

[itsfi]

So nostalgic, right @lmaster?! 💗 I remember the cartoon show from the 80s as well.

[lmaster]

@itsfi I swear the 80s were the best, the toys and cartoons even though they were not as good graphics they still were amazing 😊💓

[ather]

@lmaster @itsfi  We let my little man watch tv 30 mins before we go to his room and I’ve been making him watch 80s cartoons. We have watched gummi bears, duck tales and now we are on to teddy ruxpin. Maybe I can sneak jem and strawberry shortcake in after!! 

[quspork]

These are the perfect classics, @ather. Jem should absolutely make an appearance! 

[ather]

@quspork  Awesome!!’ Yes. 

[lmaster]

I'm so going to do my makeup like this @quspork @ather @itsfi 😆 she's amazing

[ather]

@lmaster  Doooo it!!! Can’t wait to see your look!

[lmaster]

@ather I will! 🤣

[lmaster]

@ather @itsfi oohhhhhh Jem!!!! When I was little I actually named one of my dogs Roxy 😂 

[itsfi]

Love that @lmaster @ather!

[ather]

@lmaster  That’s awesome!!! 

[itsfi]

Aww! How’s the little man liking the 80s cartoons @ather? All those shows are bringing me back to childhood! 😍 I almost forgot about Gummi Bears! Jem and the Holograms!!! @lmaster 

[ather]

@itsfi  He seems to like them! But he doesn’t watch a ton of tv so I think any tv time is nice for him 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I do love the developments in animation and graphics especially in films but I agree with you, something special about toys and cartoons from the 80s! 😉

I like the milk jug packaging on that mask @itsfi but it would be berry hard to store! (ha I'm such a hoot today) my 3 pack of lanolips comes this week! 🍓

[itsfi]

Hahaha @sonnydee! 😂🤣😂 The milk carton packaging was what drew me in. I’d like to say that it was the ingredients list that sealed the deal but I really picked it up because I wanted to see if it smelled like strawberry milk. 😝 I’ll stick with them because both steps are good. 

I’m so excited your Lanolips trio set will be here soon! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them.

Masking Hacks 

Excellent: Invisibobble & my Oaui × Summer Fridays headband; masking schedule 

Okay: Cosmedix roller (for sheet type masks) 

Meh: SC mask holder

B & Y 

Better Use Your Sheets Masks Before Expiration 

I was up late working quite a few nights this week and on a few of them I decided to do a sheet mask in bed rather than a rinse off one. 

I tried two: TCFS Pumpkin 24k Gold Mask and I Dew Care Jump Start 

Spoiler

Fit: Clearly not ideal, lol, especially on the bottom. Was super annoying to separate the mask from the support sheets. Left on for 20-40 minutes (I can't remember, I was falling asleep, lol). Was mostly dried down.
Serum: So much! I spread all over my arms, neck and hands. A little bit of tack after.
Effect: Definitely helped my post week off of skincare and hormonal skin. My skin was definitely a bit brighter, smoother and most definitely softer after. 

B : nice effects, but a bit higher price, mess to get out and use and terrible fit.

Ingredients

Fit: Meh, standard too big doesn't fit well. A bit stiff. Left on 30-40 minutes. 

Serum: A lot in the package, kinda milky watery gel consistency. No scent. Very little tack. 
Effects: No real effects on pores or wrinkles but minor brightening effects.
C : No truly negative side effects, but no truly good outcomes. Solid average C. Lol.
