💕😌 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💗

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @quspork ! I'm honestly more of a nebbiolo fan (hooray for barolo!), but sangiovese is also dang tasty! 🙂 

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne meatiness 😆 love it!

[WinglessOne]

@lmaster  Yep, some wines have a meaty flavor note: smoked bacon, roast beef, etc. 🙂 They're tasty! 

[lmaster]

That sounds amazing @WinglessOne 

[Shosh85]

@WinglessOne  Dang, another one! All of these LLL masks always sound fantastic! I'll definitely have to do a big LLL order one of these days!

I feel like these wine companies should hire you to write descriptions on their wine bottles! - I know I'm always left feeling like I need to go buy a bottle after reading your reviews, and I'm not even a big drinker. 😂🍷If you start reviewing other drinks, I'll probably want to buy those too 🤣

[WinglessOne]

Heh, thanks @Shosh85 ! LLL just released (in the US, anyway) a new limited edition travel series mask based on the Ise Grand Shrine, and I soooo want to try it, but it contains orange peel extract. 😭 Sigh... Anyway, if you or anyone else tries that one, I'd love to hear about it! 

And of course, if you decide to sip a little wine while masking, I'd love to hear about that as well! 🍷

Wants to comment on the mask, but first...the brunello🍷. Brunellos are SO delicious, and so annoyingly expensive/hard to get outside of Italy. Thank you for this post, @WinglessOne (goes to look for one on my shelf for this week). Glad the mask worked and fit so well!! These LuluLun masks all seem amazing.

[WinglessOne]

Thanks @haleyvvvv ! Aw, brunellos are fairly easy to find here in the States. If it was legal for me to ship wine directly to someone in Canada, I'd send you a bottle myself. 🙂 If you find any 2015 brunello at a fairly reasonable price, buy it—do not hesitate—and squirrel it away for a couple years so it can finish settling down. 2015 was a great year for these across the board. 

[haleyvvvv]

I think when I first came across them in Tuscany about a decade ago, that they weren't commonly importing (or at least this is what a wine guide told me, lol), @WinglessOne. But could also be hard to get outside of majorish cities. We do have some, it just isn't a ton, but I will definitely keep my eye out for 2015 ones, thank you for the tip!!

L is for Latte -  I did this one kind of recently, but it was in my pile of masks that are next to expire, so it gets another turn .... and I'm not mad about it at all 😉

HIDDENcos Latte Mask

This is a super thin and meshy cotton sheet mask that was drenched with a brown milky serum and had a delicious coffee scent. The fit was ok - a teensy bit too big all around the forehead and a little too long at the chin. I kept it on for about a half hour. There was some very light tack after removing, but it absorbed in less than 10 minutes. My face looked noticeably brighter and my skin felt soft and moisturized and had a nice glow.

I love this mask! The fit was really the only negative part about it - which is never a deal breaker for me anyway. I will definitely continue to repurchase this one!

[lmaster]

Yum!! This mask actually looks so good right now!! @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yep, it definitely makes you crave coffee! 😋☕️

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, coffee masks that smell like coffee!! Glad this was a win, @Shosh85!! 

[Shosh85]

@haleyvvvv  Yep, the scent did not disappoint! They also make an Americano one that is just as good! 😃☕️

[itsfi]

I love both the coffee based masks from Hiddencos @Shosh85. ♥️ ☕️ I find I’m not consistent in which one I like more; they’re both good so it depends on how my skin is doing that day. 😆 BTW forgot to mention in your previous post that I’m liking the polka dots. 😍👍🏼

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I agree, both of the coffee masks are wonderful! They will both always be repurchases for me!

My starry night blanket is currently being used as part of a fort, so I'm using my boys' old baby blanket instead 😉

[itsfi]

Awww, the boys picked a great blankie for their fort @Shosh85! 🥰

[tjffc]

@Shosh85 Wow!  Im so glad you liked it.  Adorable packaging

[Shosh85]

@tjffc  Thanks! It's definitely a love for me! They also make an Americano mask that I think is equally as good! 😋☕️

Because I am seriously ridiculous, here was my attempt to do the fall mask theme that was what, like two weeks ago? At this point, I can't remember my feelings on the Pumpkin Spice Creme Shop mask. I think I liked it, but for some reason I can't remember it having much of a pumpkin scent. And I think it fit better than some creme shop masks...haha.

But I also did the PTR Pumpkin Enzyme mask in advance, which of course smells amazing. I'm sure I have posted about this one a million times, but I will always love it.

[ShortErica]

That looks like a perfect fall picture @PrettyPaint!
