💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

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

Yeah, I dont think I'll reach for it that often. I can think of 1 mask -that i dont even remember which one exactly- but I had to laid down to keep it from falling off. I woke up to no dream killers & my skin feeling & looking nice so winwin there! @Shosh85 

[WinglessOne]

@sonnydee  One of the reasons I don't reach for that mask holder often is the fit. 😄 I do still like having the holder available for sheets that insist on sliding down my face, but I always try to stop or deal with the slippage before pulling out the holder. I do think you could do a diy mask with it, as long as you use spot treatment patches/slices/pads/stickers/whatever on exposed skin. I keep forgetting to do that myself. 

I'm glad the sheet mask worked well for you! 

[sonnydee]

@WinglessOne yes, this will be reserved for the masks that I would normally have to lay down for.

[lmaster]

The packaging is really cool @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

thats probably why the mini picked it @lmaster she liked the lil blue vial🤗

Celebeau Black Rose Aqua Mask

This is a medium thickness cotton sheet mask that had plenty of serum and an imitation rose scent. I'm not a big fan of rose/floral scents, but it was light enough it didn't bother me. The fit was great and just a little too long at the chin. I kept it on for about a half hour. There was some light tackiness after removing that took less than 10 minutes to absorb. My face felt refreshed, soft and moisturized and the hydration lasted for quite a while.

Even though it's not my favorite kind of scent, the results turned out great! Definitely a great mask for dry skin! I'm not so sure I'd go through a lot of trouble to purchase, (mostly because of the scent,) but I'd use again for sure!

(I tried to post ingredients, but for some reason the site isn't letting me today)

A medium weight mask sounds nice for winter, @Shosh85. Happy to hear the results were just what your skin needed!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yup, my skin liked this one! 👍

[lmaster]

I love this mask!! @Shosh85 sorry rose scent isn't your favorite, glad it was light enough for you to enjoy the results

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  It really was a great mask! I was glad the scent was light - I just wish my nose wasn't so sensitive. 👃 Happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🌹

[itsfi]

Glad to hear the results were good for you @Shosh85; sorry about the scent on this one. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh, you know me, my nose is just so dang picky! It was pretty light though, so it really wasn't bad! The mask was great, and that's what matters most! Thank again! 😊

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I think there are scent(s) that our noses just don’t care for. I know my nose 👃🏼 gets that way about certain scents. 

[sonnydee]

I used the skyn Blemish dots again last night, not because in the almost 24 hours I left them on {yup, I didn't go anywhere yesterday & they are almost invisible anyways) they did anything to my blemishes but mainly to get rid of them - they have been hanging out in my drawer way too long😳- ....they are useful to help me from touching/squeezing/ picking but that's about it. 💙💙 one each for the almost invisible & they come in different sizes. I'm soooooo glad I just redeemed some ipsy points for these phew! 😙down to 3. Also used OG Bite Beauty lip mask in candy cane💋

[eshoe]

Oh bummer, @sonnydee. Hope you have some other acne dots in your stash to get the job done right😂

[sonnydee]

yes, I have a few @eshoe 😉 so far, I think peace out & TCS are at the top of my list of get the job done 😍

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  It's too bad the blemish dots weren't too effective- but at least it's keeping you from touching them! I've used up dots like this doing the same thing. Sometimes it's just so hard to keep your fingers away!😬

[sonnydee]

exactly. I have one thats under the skin on my jaw😠 @Shosh85 i can't keep myslef from pressing on it....😜

[itsfi]

Agree @sonnydee; the dots do keep me from touching / picking. Have you found any acne dots you’d consider favorites, or worth repurchasing? 

[sonnydee]

I also have the patcholgy dots, which I found in a kit at Marshalls or TJ. @itsfi that was a exciting find! havent used them yet though

[sonnydee]

peace out dots are really good! @itsfi I have others oh k !, another brand starfish or something star...i got it from ipsy.TCS makes good ones too. 🤔thats off the top of my head...im not at home to really look.
