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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
Awww, youโre so sweet @ather; thank you for always being so kind! ๐ค Oh my goodness, yes, this whole mask wearing has caused a lot of skin irritation. ๐ But I tell myself itโs a small price to pay. Safety first. Do you think the steam eye masks would stay on if you used them while lying down but didnโt use the ear loops?
How interesting? Did your husband say why he didnโt want to try them? Is it because of how they look? I saw they made a man version ๐ Iโm sure itโs just the pattern on them thatโs different. I donโt know that for a fact though. Note to self - โSelf, pick up the โman versionโ after your no buy to test out.โ Itโs for research.
@itsfi I tried them while laying down without the loops on and it didnโt give the best feeling. Better when the loops are on. I should try one tomorrow night. I donโt leave my house much on my days off so my ears may feel better. Iโve ordered new masks as well. They are suppose to feel way better so that may fix my problem too. I agree Iโd much rather wear a mask and protect myself and others then not wear one at all. Some places in my province are making masks mandatory which I totally agree with. I just wish they didnโt irritate my ears so much. I have a few that go over my head but they fall down or push on my nose a lot and hurt. So I stuck to the ear ones!!!
He didnโt say why. Iโll ask him again next time I use them. Iโll keep my eyes on the lookout for the man version too. I actually saw that they have a chamomile version. I need to test it. I really enjoy chamomile tea. Maybe Iโll have a masking night theme!!
@ather, I canโt imagine wearing the masks for as long as you and your coworkers do. Thank you! Youโve probably tried it but do the headbands with the buttons help a little with the ear irritation? Yeah, Iโve been figuring out when and which different types of fabric on masks work better for me. A learning curve.
@itsfi Yea the headbands help but they slide down my hair too. Itโs to soft I guess. Oh well. Iโm sure the elastic on my new ones will help! I think itโs more the texture of the ones I have. My husband says his is really comfortable but he only wears it into places not all day. Iโve actually used his and itโs super comfortable lol oh well!
@ather, I really hope your new masks are more comfortable.
This looks like a really great calming masking session, @itsfi! That Dewytree was in my cart for a recent purchase before it went out of stock, so I'll have to keep an eye out for when it comes back.
@quspork, these are good to have on hand. I just saw that theyโre back in stock at masksheets (dot) com. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Another creative work of art @itsfi so calming sounds perfect right about now
Thank you @lmaster! ๐ค Iโve been reaching for masks that are soothing and calming these days. Weโve been in a heat wave so I havenโt been burning any candles. Itโll hopefully cool down tomorrow so I can bring them back out; itโs calming and therapeutic having the house smell nice; or at least the area around my work desk.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ { no words๐๐๐๐} @itsfi
@sonnydee, no need for words; we have emojiiโs. ๐๐๐ฅฐ Thank you so much for gifting me these Dewytree masks - such a beautiful line of sheet masks. ๐ This one paired so nicely with the other lavender items I had. A good and welcome way to put me at ease.
@itsfi The lavendar mask has gorgeous packaging. I love lavender as well
@tjffc, yes!! Even the packaging provides a certain amount of calm. ๐
@itsfi Looks and sounds like a the perfect pre-bedtime masking session!
Love those steam eye masks! They are great for headaches! ๐
@Shosh85, it was a nice way to unwind and relax a bit before getting to bed. Love these steam eye masks; they're phenomenal! ๐
@itsfi those steam masks are superheroโs for sure! I canโt thank you enough for introducing me. So wonderful during allergy season and during those chilly nights!
I just gave a box of the steam eye masks to one of my colleagues @missjeanie. Gotta spread the love!! ๐
More S and H from this week:
S for G9 Skin Strawberry Milk Bomb Mask
Annnnnnnnnd
I wanted to like this. It's got the slightly thicker woven cotton sheet that I love because it's so soft against the skin. There was plenty of serum soaking the sheet. But. That scent! Oof. I don't know that I can even place it. Maybe there was a hint of chemical strawberry but overall it was just overpowering and unpleasant. I ended up only having the sheet on for about 5 minutes because of that, so no real results to speak of. I'll stick with Apieu for fruity milk masks in the future.
And for H the Biobelle #HappyHour mask
This is one of the older versions of Biobelle which I think a lot of us have expressed a preference for over the newer versions. The sheet is comfortable with plenty of serum, a good fit, and has great adherence. I had this one on for quite a while since it was so well saturated. Removal left just a bit of tack and had my skin feeling hydrated and plump. I think this is my last one of the Happy Hour version and only one of a couple of the older versions left in my stash, so that makes me sad. The newer ones are ok, but not nearly as nice as these were.
@quspork sorry to hear about the scent! I wish I could of tried an older version ๐ฃ
@quspork I almost tried that g9 but went with another now, I'm kinda scared๐ but I will miss happy hour mask!
Maybe the G9 scent will be less noticeable for you, @sonnydee - I hope you like it more than I did!
