Hilde Soliani Una Tira ‘Altra Perfume ($160) oddly reminds me of the decadence and flashing red lights of Amsterdam’s De Wallen. Cherry somehow brings to my mind the black backdrop, red neon lights, and beckoning ladies flirting with you through the windows! When you walk through the alley way at night the entire street and the canal are bathed in a cherry glow giving it it’s signature sinful, odd welcoming.

Maybe it’s a bit weird that cherry brings to mind sex and sun as I’m pretty sure Hilde, an Italian perfumer, wasn’t thinking of either when she created Una Tira ‘Altra considering she’s from a culture where food is such an important part of life and social events (She’s Italian!

Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Pre-Tox Peel Off Mask ($10.99) is a new, exfoliating peel off mask that contains AHAs which act gently exfoliate dead skin from your face while leaving it smooth and softened. This is actually a pretty new sort of spin for Aveeno who tends to concentrate on creating facial moisturizers and but never quote venturing out further into the skincare world. I was surprised to see them doing not one but two versions of a peel off mask with their Spring 2019 Skincare Collection.

It probably shouldn’t surprise me too much because I think Too Faced Glow Job Radiance-Boosting Glitter Face Mask sort of gave a rebirth to peel off masks. Everyone is making peel off masks lately particularly glitter ones. Thankfully Aveeno didn’t include the glitter aspect but you can tell from the somewhat cute packaging they are trying to target a younger demographic with these masks.

All this being said, I was curious to try this! I am in no way a stranger to harsh take the skin right off your face peeling facial masks! I have suffered through the lines of Memebox I Dew Care Disco Kitten Mask and the legendary Seikisho Mask White both of which will remove skin, hair, and the gunk from your pores.

Trust me, Aveeno Absolutely Ageless Pre-Tox Peel Off Mask is child’s play in comparison!
