NEW!!! Got an idea for next year's challenge? Let me know! Was there a challenge you'd rather not repeat? Share below, so we can start building the 2021 schedule:
@emaisgr8 Good job finishing them all! Glad to hear this one was better than the others! 😃
Due to playing the beat the expiration date game, I've been focusing on matching up letters vs. themes. Which isn't quite as fun but it'll do. Anyway, here's some of my masking for the last week and yesterday.
First up some Boscia eye gels that were sent to me by @faeriegirl
Next up was the Beautaniq Beauty mask from @lmaster
This week I pulled out one of my Marshalls finds that I think I shared with others
@ShortErica I'm pretty sure I have used that mask, but it says @itsfi in the spreadsheet, so I'm not sure if I reviewed it on here
@ShortErica I definitely need to get those eye masks!!!
That Beautaniq mask jogs my memory, @ShortErica - it looks like it would have the most delicious scent! Bummer it wasn’t papaya or something similarly fruity.
Those Boscia eye masks fit very nicely, had to zoom in pretty close to even see them. Looks comfy.
I wonder if it is in the masking spreadsheet @eshoe. I'll have to look and see who else has used it!
Pretty sure it was @lmaster, @ShortErica - if it was in the first half of the year it will be there.
lol @ShortErica the expiration date game... maybe I need to challenge myself to this game to get back into sheet masking. Not sure why but I've been doing all wash offs of late.
I've been using the kiehls clay one every Monday so far. I need to be more consistent with using the wash offs I have. Maybe we both need to find a happy medium using both sheet and wash off @missjeanie 🤷♀️
Nice job, @ShortErica, using up things before they expire! I'm so bad at that. Glad they all seemed to be working!
@ShortErica Glad to hear you enjoyed the eye mask! I got some nice results too - but they definitely did slip around on me a bit 😉
I had pretty much the same feelings as you about the Crop mask - great results, but didn't like the scent. 😬 It's funny you mention the stuffy nose thing- my allergies act up pretty frequently and my nose always gets plugged up, so that's when I wait to use masks like that 😂
Great minds @Shosh85! Who would have thought I'd "want" to be sick for something?! Haha!
It sounds like your masking sessions this past week were pretty successful @ShortErica. I think I have both the Boscia eye masks to get to, as well as some Skyn Iceland that you gifted to me, and now I'm excited to try both. I am soooo far behind on my masking. You would think I would have gotten to more over the break, but nope. I just sat on my butt for most of it. 😉
I would say that you could have worn a butt mask, but no, you need to lay with those @mrsmouse! 😂 Hope you have more time for masking so you can try all your stuff.
Haha @ShortErica! I have been curious about the butt masks, but never enough to try one. 😉
@mrsmouse I don't think they do much but it was interesting to try.
That's actually a great too @ShortErica that I didn't even think about,,, when my kids are coughing and stuffy, they get Vicks,,, so this makes sense!! Great idea
A couple of night’s masking, to wrap up last week and get a start on this one:
Speaking of angry, wow is my skin angry with me.
I’ve got a little mountain range on my chin right now. I tried to remedy it best by opening a fresh tube of one of my favorite detox masks, the Pixi Skintreats Glow Mud Mask (first discovered this one from @missjeanie). Love this one for the gorgeous earthy ginseng scent, slow drying and cleansing properties. It is a joy to use, and one I hope to always have on hand (thank you @itsfi for this week’s theme). I applied a little of The Skinny Lip Balm recommended by @l8totheparty. It has the loveliest clove scent and paired perfectly with the Glow Mud. After rinsing with my The Original MakeUp Eraser The Original MakeUp Eraser® Makeup Remover Cloth Pink I opened and removed the Farmskin Pore-Purifying Sheet Mask gifted to me from @faeriegirl. There was only a slight clean, fresh scent - not soapy at all, just pleasant. It fit well across my face, with a little snip-snip on the outer corners of my eyes to fold the new little flaps down. I left it on for close to 30 minutes and removed. My skin appeared to be a bit brighter, though I don’t believe that is the intent of this mask. The proof in the pudding is that this morning, the hostile mountain range had somewhat subsided. I am curious about the other masks in this line, thank you faeriegirl for sharing this one with me, I enjoyed it!
