Stark vacuum makes really nice masks and track their delivery. Like some of you, I've accumulated a number of homemade masks for my family of five. Additonally, I ordered a set of ten silicon strips that you fasten to ear loop masks so they go around your head (makes this style mask very adjustable and comfortable).

Gina Gomez masks were $8 when I looked when the op posted. I couldn't decide on which patterns to choose so didn't purchase any. I went back later to look at them and they are now $9 each. I'll just order a few less then planned. I really don't need anymore. Also, she added filters to buy at $3 each. Filter fits inside men and women sized masks.

Oh, wow. I ordered some a few days ago at $8. She sent an email a couple of days later that they were inundated with orders and were getting to them in order of receipt. Must be why she raised the prices.

I am not new to QVC just new to posting to the boards. Wanted to help out with face masks. Just Google Gina Gomez Photography, Murphy NC. She does beautiful photography and is now making face masks. Once on her website click on Face Mask and choose the ones you want.

@Harley883 Thank you for the heads up. I just bought some. Unicorns and horses, oh my!

@geezerette I figured she would start getting lots of orders, once it was posted here. lol ..Just wish I would have made a decision and ordered. I guess I never thought the price was going to change. I'm not in any hurry now. I do have a few cloth mask that I purchased locally for $ 5 each. Also, my friend is an excellent seamstress and she's planning to make some for her family and said she would make a couple for me.

@geezerette I hate it when people take advantage in times like this. Still, $9.00 is less than the $13.00 each I spent on Etsy a month ago for two masks.

MorningLover · ‎10-04-2015

@mousiegirl Yes, still not a bad price. I have seen much higher, too. There are several nice prints to choose from. I try and get the ones with the flexible nose piece and I wasn't sure if these have it. Hope some posters will report back and give a review!

My friend gave me a few that her SIL had made, and those fit the best of any I have, paper or cloth! How they fit really does make a difference on how comfortable they are when you're wearing them for several hours.

I didn't really need any of these that I ordered either, but a few of the patterns were so cute that I couldn't resist. I figure I'll be wearing them for a while and this way I'll have plenty so that I can wear them once and leave to wash all together without having to wash each individually each time I wear one.

I have no idea when they'll arrive, but I'll let you know what I think when I get them.😉

Thanks @shoekitty- I did check those out and they have some cute prints, and they do have 3 layer construction, but they are 80% nylon, 20% spandex (makes sense for a swimwear company) but no cotton. They have the filter which is a huge plus. Looks like they charge nearly $7 for shipping unless you spend $50 (which I wouldn't).

I was also looking at LA Apparel (posted about it on another thread). Gets a lot of great reviews, 100% french terry cotton with the nose piece. Also comes in quite a few colors. But yes, does look bigger and heavier. Looks like they may charge $5 shipping for 3 masks/$30.

Both look like they come from LA and both donate to essential workers. I'm wondering how long each takes to process the order and ship? Since I'm in CA it wouldn't take long once it ships.

A colleague also sent me info on Vistaprint masks. They are on preorder and ship 5/28. Also have filters but are more expensive - $18 each with free shipping. Sure wish they had been 2 for $18 or $10 each! Plus they don't ship from the West Coast so would take longer for me to receive. But some are super cute!

Shoekitty said, I ordered day before yesterday and my Dippin Daisy masks came today. They are super comfy and so cute. But, you are right, they are nylon . I will use them as they fit so good. The design is really made for the couture over the nose and chin.
