💕😌 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💗

Ive tried the lavender, im ok with the scent but I think it was just meh on the performance. Have the clean coconut one but yet to use. 🤔But yeah, @Shosh85 its pretty much like I did nothing to my feet today. So no repurchase of cactus. There's better out there. & multiple (@tj or m) for the price.

[ShortErica]

Bummer about the foot mask @sonnydee. Hope your feet feel silky vs sticky in the morning. I have a foot mask set aside for this week to use 🙂

[sonnydee]

I have the other clean version-coconut. So hopefully that will be better & it'll be another situation like before. I like one, not so much the other @ShortErica

PSA: I saw that the older version of the Sephora Collection sleeping mask (the ones that come in pods) online this morning. They're marked down to $2, presumably to clear out stock with the intro of the new clean skincare collection. 

Also noticed that there are two new sampler mask sets out for the holidays. These make great gifts for others ... or yourself! 😉 There's a good variety in there and I also like that I can customize from the products in the set a few gifts or stocking stuffers that are tailored to the skin type / needs of the gift recipient.

@itsfi  So fun! I love when all the sets start coming out! Thanks for posting! 😃

[itsfi]

Agree @Shosh85! 👊🏼 I love seeing all the sets too! 😍 My wallet, on the other hand, cringes. 💸💸😬😆

N for night & new to me

Fresh peony brightening night treatment mask, it's expensive & massive but not on Sephora's site. 

Laneige grapefruit lip mask

Fit?cream mask

Smell? I'm beginning to think alot of fresh products have that cucumber smell to them.-except for the rose line of course. It's tolerable but I can see myself getting sick of it. 

Consistency?creamy, thin, white but it will blend in nicely to your skin. 

Ease of use?spreads easily, but turns greasy feeling & makes me look greasy. Maybe that's their brightening they promise.🤷 it's not sticky, which is good but I scratched my face & came up with gunk under my nails. 😐(This is hour 3)you don't have to wash off remainder because the site says every thing will be soaked in. 

Would I  purchase/try again? Depends on how I wake up tomorrow😁 if I would try this again. But the smell would most likely keep me from buying this. And the tub is huge. Drier skin would appreciate this more. 

Lip mask:

I like the different flavors they have, I found I personally have to use a good amount for it to soften my lips. This smells good so it may be a fs purchase. Nothing like my OG bite but that's been discontinued. I like to also use these during the day.

@sonnydee, I have not tried that Fresh mask ... yet. 😆 I think the scent may keep me from that (and because I’d want to try a sample first). Fresh’s signature cucumber scent isn’t bad, but it’s something I need to be in the mood for.

[sonnydee]

When you are hungry for a salad @itsfi 😁 I totally get that - use a sample first. I try to use a foil over a ds anyday!🤗

[itsfi]

😂 @sonnydee, that made me laugh. I will be sure to smell my salad during lunch today. 🥗 😝 

[eshoe]

It's so disappointing when masks only come in size XL, @sonnydee. It would be so cool if Sephora had a 'mask bar' where you could build your own DS kit of like three, five, or seven masks. So many of the Fresh masks intrigue me, but the size and cost are prohibitive. 

[sonnydee]

Or fresh could just do a holiday mini collection set of just their masks.  Im sure it would sell & you would get a good feel for their masks. But the cucumber smell would get to me🤢 @eshoe 

[lmaster]

I'm not much for cucumber scent either @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

I wouldve been ok with even floral @lmaster just to mix it up😕

[ShortErica]

I forget if I've asked which if your favorite flavor @sonnydee. I still have to try the grapefruit mini I have.

[sonnydee]

Yea, you have but it's ok. I understand 'mom brain'😘😂  i think its still apple lime. @ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

"Mom brain" is such a thing! Thanks for the reminder @sonnydee. That's another one that's still on deck for me. In good news, I successfully finished my vanilla mini this week!

[sonnydee]

Congrats! @ShortErica such a great feeling to pan. I got excited last night, almost can see some pan in my caramel lip balm. 

 

[ShortErica]

Ooo exciting @sonnydee!

[quspork]

Huh- I didn't realize Sephora wasn't selling this one anymore. I tried a whole tube (I guess now it's in a jar?) of this years ago, @sonnydee and unfortunately saw no real results. I hope you see some brightening in the morning! 

[sonnydee]

When I woke up I wasn't sticky or greasy if anything I look matte.... @quspork  I think I have another foil that I'll hold onto. It didn't make me break out & I think it might be a good one to use in the winter
