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 ๐ฎ
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 masks๐
Lol, thank you, @eshoe!! For me, its mostly the fit (I'm always feeling like it is going to fall off my face).
@haleyvvvv I found that the fit makes it a totally different experience!!
Last nightโs anticipated masking included a pear mask ๐:
@eshoe This mask sounds Pear-fect!!! ๐๐ป So happy it smelled like pears!! The lip retreat looks good too!!
Ha ha you are too funny, @ather - yes, it wasโบ๏ธ I think the Lip retreat is the lip oil that made me realize they have come a long way since I started using them. They last much longer and are prettier, too!
@eshoe Yeah, grapefruit extract might stop me from trying this one. The rest of the ingredients list looks mostly okay, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Also: the sleeve design reminded me of James and the Giant Peach too. ๐
@WinglessOne Omg your so right!! Totally reminds me of that book too!!!
How am I not the only one who has watched that movie, @WinglessOne? Guess I need to see if itโs on Netflix or something similar this weekend.
The fit was a little wonky, but worth the scent, I guess as long as itโs enjoyable itโs worth the minor annoyances.
Iโm not sure, @Shosh85 - I found it spelled differently than on the package, and it showed up as a type of summer radish?
I tempted to try it only because this one has a true pear scent, and now I want to know what yulmoo is like!
@eshoe Oh, yup, I found it now. ๐ Looks like it's either Yulmoo or Yeolmu.
ETA: Apparently there's also a Yulmu Tea, but it seems it's something different entirely, made from Job's Tears
Oh no I want to try the tea, thank you @Shosh85 ๐
The packaging reminds me of James and the giant peach @eshoe
@lmaster @Shosh85 @eshoe, James and the Giant Peach brings a smile to my face. ๐ It also reminds me of a cupcake shop that played off the name of that film.
The illustration on the packaging looks like an apple pear / Asian pear, which is refreshingly delicious! The juice of the fruit, or making a puree of it, is commonly found in marinades for Korean barbeque.
@itsfi That sounds like a fun Cupcake shop! In what way did they play off the movie title?
I was looking at the illustration and thinking to myself, but where's the pear? haha, your right, it looks more like an Asian pear. ๐ I LOVE Korean BBQ! I didn't know Asian pear juice was commonly used in marinades for it, but then again I haven't attempted to make it yet. ๐
@Shosh85, the shop was called James and the Giant Cupcake! ๐ง I have a vague recollection that their branding was similar to a part from the film but instead of a peach it was a cupcake. At least thatโs what I somewhat remember. In full disclosure, I was paying more attention to the cupcakes. Hahaha! ๐
Korean BBQ is so yummy! ๐ I didnโt know about Asian pear being part of the marinade recipe either until a friend made it for us from a family recipe and I was like โwhat is this goodness?!!โ ๐
I think anything reminiscent of a cupcake shop would be a good thing, @itsfi ๐ง
So thatโs the secret to good Korean bbq? Iโve made it a couple of times but had no idea about the purรฉe, thank you for the tip! I will have to see if I can find that online, because it seems I canโt stop cooking/baking these days๐
I think there are a lot of secrets @eshoe, including that it does take a looooong time to marinate. That was just one of the ones I learned. No success in getting the family recipe. I get it. But it was sure tasty! ๐
Ha, I know the feeling @itsfi. My sister bakes chocolate cookies that are perfectly crispy on the outside and just a little gooey in the middle. She swears a little extra flour is her secret, but it never works for me. I secretly think sheโs holding back, maybe some day I will learn the truth ๐ค
I had to look that up, @lmaster - you are absolutely right๐
@eshoe oh yes James and the giant peach is a classic for school kids
