💕😌 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?

@Olive01 

coffee anything has to be good.

[nuinui933]

@Olive01 

Coffee? All you needed to say. I'm IN!

[itsfi]

@Olive01, coffee has some good skincare benefits. ☕️ Does this mask smell like coffee? I saw that it contains aloe and tea tree and wondered whether the scent from those ingredients could be detected as well. 

[lmaster]

@Olive01 interesting!! I love a good coffee scent

[Cissy63]

Oh this sounds great. Having coffee scent on my face, woo hoo! @Olive01  😃

[eshoe]

@Olive01 a coffee-scented mask sounds like a great way to start your day!

[Mellmars1185]

@Olive01 looks and sounds like a fun mask!

[nuinui933]

This is one of my favorite masks. A sample turned purchase from a female founded/woman owned brand. It makes my skin soft and smooth while I sleep and it smells soooooo good! ❤️🍉

[lmaster]

I absolutely loved this mask!! It's been discontinued? @nuinui933 

[itsfi]

@lmaster @nuinui933, sorry for butting in, but it looks like this sleeping mask is still in Glow Recipe's collection - Glow Recipe Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask 2.7 oz/ 80 mL. Glow Recipe had a watermelon hydrogel mask that had a cover/front design to its packaging that was very similar to the one in the sample of the sleeping mask in nuinui's photo. The hydrogel mask is the one that has been discontinued; I think they stopped production of it fairly early on after releasing the product. I thought it was the discontinued hydrogel mask at first but then realized it was the sleeping mask when I read the post again and then looked at the name of the mask in the photo. The packaging does look very similar - here's a pic of the packaging for the discontinued hydrogel mask:

@itsfi 

Oh I'm so glad it's not discontinued or going that way. I love this sleep mask. The smell alone!

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh that's so funny!! As soon as I seen the packaging, I thought it was the sheet mask,,,I was happy thinking they brought it back!! 😣

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I thought the same thing. I went into the GR product page here and on their site. 😆 It was one of the better hydrogel masks out there. And that yummy scent!! 🍉

[Cissy63]

I can imagine how wonderful it was.  It’s a company that makes some wonderful products.  @nuinui933  this would be great after a beach day!

[nuinui933]

@Cissy63  

Yes. I love so many of their products - the watermelon list is great in the spring and summer for a refreshing mist. I like the banana moisturizer and their cleanser - the papaya one and the blueberry one. Haven't tried the new sunblock yet. 

[eshoe]

This watermelon mask is such a nice hydrogel, @nuinui933. I can see why it is one of your favorites☺️ 

[nuinui933]

@eshoe  

I don't think it's been discontinued. It's the Glow Recipe Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask 2.7 oz/ 80 mL. Oh my goodness, I hope it's not being discontinued. 😮 I may have to come off my no buy to stock up if it is. 

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 I did not use mine for the longest time, and once I did, I loved it, only to discover it wasn’t available anymore. If you do find it, it would be a wonderful surprise!!

[nuinui933]

@eshoe  

I'm confused. What Glow Recipe mask are you thinking has been discontinued? I used the watermelon sleeping mask. It's still online at Glow Recipe and Sephora - Glow Recipe Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask 2.7 oz/ 80 mL. I emailed the company and they told me that it's not discontinued and they had no plans to remove it from their collection - it's their best selling product. Are you confusing it with the sheet mask they used to have?

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 my apologies. It was the Glow Recipe Hydrogel Mask that I was lamenting. The photo looks so similar to the sheet mask.

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, this is a great (and great smelling!) mask. ♥️🍉 It’s a summertime treat for my skin.
