Product Review: The Brightening Sleep Mask from Thrive

HAPPY SPRING! To celebrate, I have a....Snow Shot, Spring hasn’t arrived here quite yet & it’s gloomy today so a brightening mask seems in order 😉

Overnight Sensation ~ Brightening Sleep Mask from Thrive Causmetics!

I have a thing about sleeping masks! Such a simple concept yet so highly effective when you find the ideal formula for your skin type, environment & climate! 

I have dry skin that’s also dehydrated AND I live in one of the driest climates in the world...ok maybe not THE driest, but it sure does seem like it sometimes, especially during the winter months!! Is it Spring yet?? 

The ideal formula for me is one that will truly hydrate my skin throughout the entire night (seriously, I don’t want to wake up with dry, tight skin!)

The Overnight Sensation Sleep Mask definitely delivers hydration while also giving my skin a smoother, brighter feeling upon waking up! It features a cooling formula with a light scent of lavender & citrus.

I gently massage this in at the end of my nighttime routine. It absorbs nicely & quickly enough. The Melatonin, HA, Licorice Root extract, Vitamin C, Lavender & Rosehip Oils + Aloe Vero all combine to give my skin much needed hydration!

Happy Spring!

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

The Water Sleeping Mask - Already a Legend!

This overnight sleeping mask from Laneige says it’s a 

“moisture-recharging gel mask that quickly absorbs to deeply hydrate your skin.”

Stated as ideal for all skin types, in my experience it does not deliver quite enough hydration for my overly dry + dehydrated skin that’s especially sensitive to the dry winter weather & the heater running all night long 😢

Formulated with Ingredients like Hydro-Ionized Mineral Water (sounds cool 💦) and apricot & evening primrose extracts. this beauty claims to deliver moisture, a relaxing & calming scent, visibly brightened skin that’s ultimately more radiant + refreshed + soft glowing skin!

Ok, let’s break this down - it definitely has a very relaxing, light scent that I adore. And, I feel it really delivers soft & glowing skin. However, for me it just not hydrating enough because I still awake with slightly tight skin...but that’s just me and my skin is very dehydrated. I do really enjoy this sleeping mask and I think I’ll get better results during the summer months which aren’t as dry?

Do you use a hydrating overnight mask that you love??
