💕😌 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 💮

Spoiler

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💗

@itsfi  Oh i still haven’t tried that one!   I kinda fell off the masking wagon recently and need to find a new time slot for masks. My masking session time allotment has been taken over by yoga sessions cause I’ve been such a ball of stress lately.  Yoga’s been helping A LOT!  

[itsfi]

Oh @heartsmyface, I’m so sorry you are stressed. 😞 I’m glad you’re getting in time yoga - I find it to be helpful with stress as well. I really need to do it more regularly. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Firm, bouncy and hydrated sounds like my kind of mask! Happy to hear this one worked out beautifully for you! 😃

[itsfi]

Ohhh, I think your skin will like this one @Shosh85. ♥️ I did some quick research on the brand’s other sheet mask offerings and they apparently have an hyaluronic acid based  one that is good. 🤩 I’ll hold off until I finish up the ones I’ve set aside for this year and make my way through some I picked up earlier this year, but after that . . . sheet mask shopping spree!!! 🛍 Well, sorta. I’ll have “rules” in place so my mask supply doesn’t get too out of hand again. 😬

G is for grape and Glow Recipe.   
i loooooove the scent of the pure smile grape essence masks!   Sad I’ve only got one more of this scent and the Japan conference isn’t happening (physically) this year.   I suppose this gives me an opportunity to actually use things up.  
the glow pop is fantastic.   This is my third tube.   How do they go so quickly?   

 

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface this sounds like a great combo! Hope you start feeling better!

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Mmmm, I love grape scented masks! This one sounds great! It's too bad you won't be able to pick some more up for awhile, but I guess shopping your stash isn't such a bad thing - something I need to work on too! 😉

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   I’ve been saying I need to shop my stash for years so this is a good thing.  I don’t like that it’s being forced but hey, maybe we can get the mask hoarding under control and perhaps halved by Christmas?  🤞😁

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, making a note to look for this mask after I get through some more masks and when the local boutiques reopen. Does your GR watermelon balm / scrub have a lot of scrubby granules in it? Mine seems more like a balm because it doesn't have much of the granules for any exfoliation.

Good to see you hearts! Hope you and the fam are doing well. Miss you! 🤗

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   It’s slightly gritty upon application but not to the point I feel any heavy exfoliation.  It hasn’t replaced sugar scrubs or anything.  I think I might actually prefer it if they omitted the granules.

G for Gold, \"white Gold\" This stuff is sooooo thick! but does surprisingly soak in well & fast. I did have to bump the bottle on the countertop to get the thickness to drop. 😜 Theres enough in the packet for a good 2-3 masks, so i wanted to move the rest to a bottle to refrigerate. Leaving it on overnight so will update tomorrow. Next Morning Update: you do rinse it off in the morning, which i did with ease. Fit? its a thick cream Smell? its really nice! its familiar but cant place it? maybe sheet mask scent in cream form🤔 Consistency? soaks in good, without tack. You won't stick to your pillow or blankets WHICH is a huge plus for me! Ease of use? ok, no issues Would I  purchase/try again? it delivered on its promises. Yesterday was hot! and my face is feels restored & nourished. Happy to have more🤗

[lmaster]

Yes!! I'm in love with this mask @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

It was a good performing mask @lmaster it just sounds gross!😬

[heartsmyface]

@sonnydee   As much as I dislike the wording ‘donkey milk’ I have had nothing but good experiences with Products containing donkey milk.  I need to put this one on ‘the list’. 

[sonnydee]

It just sounds so  gross! I kept passing up on it...maybe next time....but im glad now, i gave it a try @heartsmyface ah! "the list" ...ever growing & multiplying 😜

[quspork]

Ohh, I love the Soo'Ae Donkey Milk Sheet Masks so I'm very excited to see how the sleeping mask version works out for you, @sonnydee!

[sonnydee]

It performed really well. I think i have the sheet masks too @quspork I bet they are especially perfect for wintertime

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  I've only heard positive reviews on this one! It definitely sounds like something my dry skin would like! Happy to hear you enjoyed it and it's great there's more for you to enjoy later! 👍😃

[sonnydee]

I think your dry skin would love this one for any season @Shosh85 but yet ok enough for me to use with my oily skin as well. 🤗

[itsfi]

This one sounds good @sonnydee! Love that there's enough in the packet for more masking. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how it performed overnight.

[sonnydee]

Updated the post with my overnight thoughts @itsfi. happy to have used it. It was hanging out in my stash for far too long
