💕😌 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💗

[eshoe]

Thank you, @erikarosenim. I enjoy it especially as it does not require watering 😉

@eshoe 

It's too bad the scrub / balm doesn't have a scent - a pina colada scent would be amazing! Weird question - does it taste like pineapple or coconut?

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 the scrub has a fresh, sweet pineapple scent - but the balm seems to me to be unscented, although it is coconut based. Not sure about the taste, I haven’t tried them…yet!😉

[lmaster]

@eshoe I'd be tempted to lick it 🤣 looks like caramel 🤤

[eshoe]

Oh well it definitely smells good enough, @lmaster 🤣 I have never tried but my pup sure wants to be my friend when I am wearing it!

[lmaster]

Oh that is so funny!! @eshoe 

[itsfi]

@eshoe, glad to hear you like the Missha mask. 🙂 Such a good sheet mask! I tried it at the beginning of the year and immediately put in an order for more. A nice addition to a Vitamin C themed masking sesh, on National Vitamin C Day, too!

[eshoe]

@itsfi smart idea to reorder immediately! I can see why you loved it. I was a little shocked at the milky serum, with a vitamin C mask I guess I just expected something tangerine-hued. What a pleasant surprise 🙌🏼

[CookieGirl1]

@eshoe that honey mask looks so lush!  I had never even heard of the leahlani brand before someone 😉 kindly gifted me the Mermaid Mask (which I'm absolutely going to try this week) and a serum.  

BTW, that serum--BOMB.  I tried that one out yesterday and oil serums often aren't my favorite since so many of them leave me feeling greasy but that one was so nice!  I loved how easily it absorbed without being at all "oily" and I had the most radiant glow from it 💕.  Thanks for introducing me to that one 🙂

[eshoe]

Leahlani makes some very beautiful products, @CookieGirl1. I am pretty sure I have fallen for everything I have tried so far! The Mermaid Mask can be a little thick, so adding a few drops of water can help make it easier to apply😉

You might enjoy her Bless Balm, too. And the Pamplemousse cleanser. And the Honey Love mask😂 

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Beautiful pictures. I really like the leaf dish. Glad you enjoyed the mask!

[eshoe]

Awww thank you, @Mellmars1185 ☺️ I went to a ceramics store earlier this year looking for some crafty pieces for my daughter and I to chalk and paint. Chalk gives them such a soft look. I have a ‘black thumb’ but live plants, so things like this make me very happy!

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Aw home made by your daughter? This makes it even more special! 💚🤎

[eshoe]

Oh, her pieces are ‘slightly’ more colorful than mine, @Mellmars1185. She prefers more vibrancy! I chalked the leaf🍃

Vitamins week: Avocado

• Gifted to me from the sweetest @Shosh85 
• This is a medium flexible thickness sheet that fits excellent
• White milky serum
• The scent was sweet/fruity
• Avocado has vitamin C,E,K and B
• Wear time is 20 minutes
• The chin area did dry out faster than the rest of the mask but otherwise I was pleased with the results
• Hydrated, moisturized and my skin felt so nourished!!
• Pretty sure these have been discontinued, and that's such a disappointment because they are amazing
• No tackiness

[Cissy63]

@lmaster  Too bad they may be discontinued.   Sounds like a great sheet mask!

[lmaster]

@Cissy63 I know!! It's a major heart 💔!! 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, aren't these masks wonderful? @Shosh85 introduced them to me as well and a shosh85-approved mask is always one worth using! 😍 Of course that means that they've been discontinued. I'm bummed the brand decided to stop manufacturing masks but I can see how that might make sense for them.  Still, another exceptional sheet mask gone for good. Sigh.

[lmaster]

@itsfi that right there, is why I don't even want to say our loud if I love a mask 🤣 lbvs!!!

[itsfi]

@lmaster, loving a mask?! WHAT do you mean? That never happens. Hahaha! 

The new format of reviews going forward for me will be:

"So, overall, the mask was just okay."

[lmaster]

@itsfi too cute!! 😉
