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!


March Madness
 - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe  Yeah, grapefruit extract might stop me from trying this one. The rest of the ingredients list looks mostly okay, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

 

Also: the sleeve design reminded me of James and the Giant Peach too. ๐Ÿ˜„ 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@WinglessOne  Omg your so right!! Totally reminds me of that book too!!! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

How am I not the only one who has watched that movie, @WinglessOne? Guess I need to see if itโ€™s on Netflix or something similar this weekend.

 

The fit was a little wonky, but worth the scent, I guess as long as itโ€™s enjoyable itโ€™s worth the minor annoyances. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe  Sounds like a great mask! The packaging/artwork is super cute - James and the Giant Peach was the first thing to come to mind too, @lmaster! ๐Ÿ˜‰

 

You got me curious about Yulmoo.... It looks like it's a type of rice? Is that what you found out too?

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Iโ€™m not sure, @Shosh85 - I found it spelled differently than on the package, and it showed up as a type of summer radish?9B620EBD-8878-4128-8327-4972F98BB9F7.jpeg

I tempted to try it only because this one has a true pear scent, and now I want to know what yulmoo is like!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe  Oh, yup, I found it now. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Looks like it's either Yulmoo or Yeolmu.
 ETA: Apparently there's also a Yulmu Tea, but it seems it's something different entirely, made from Job's Tears 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Oh no I want to try the tea, thank you @Shosh85 ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

The packaging reminds me of James and the giant peach @eshoe 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@lmaster @Shosh85 @eshoe, James and the Giant Peach brings a smile to my face. ๐Ÿ™‚ It also reminds me of a cupcake shop that played off the name of that film. 

 

The illustration on the packaging looks like an apple pear / Asian pear, which is  refreshingly delicious! The juice of the fruit, or making a puree of it, is commonly found in marinades for Korean barbeque. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@itsfi That sounds like a fun Cupcake shop! In what way did they play off the movie title?


I was looking at the illustration and thinking to myself, but where's the pear? haha, your right, it looks more like an Asian pear. ๐Ÿ‘ I LOVE Korean BBQ! I didn't know Asian pear juice was commonly used in marinades for it, but then again I haven't attempted to make it yet. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@Shosh85, the shop was called James and the Giant Cupcake! ๐Ÿง I have a vague recollection that their branding was similar to a part from the film but instead of a peach it was a cupcake. At least thatโ€™s what I somewhat remember. In full disclosure, I was paying more attention to the cupcakes. Hahaha! ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

 

Korean BBQ is so yummy! ๐Ÿ˜‹ I didnโ€™t know about Asian pear being part of the marinade recipe either until a friend made it for us from a family recipe and I was like โ€œwhat is this goodness?!!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

I think anything reminiscent of a cupcake shop would be a good thing, @itsfi ๐Ÿง 

 

So thatโ€™s the secret to good Korean bbq? Iโ€™ve made it a couple of times but had no idea about the purรฉe, thank you for the tip! I will have to see if I can find that online,  because it seems I canโ€™t stop cooking/baking these days๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

I think there are a lot of secrets @eshoe, including that it does take a looooong time to marinate. That was just one of the ones I learned. No success in getting the family recipe. I get it. But it was sure tasty! ๐Ÿ˜‹ 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Ha, I know the feeling @itsfi. My sister bakes chocolate cookies that are perfectly crispy on the outside and just a little gooey in the middle. She swears a little extra flour is her secret, but it never works for me. I secretly think sheโ€™s holding back, maybe some day I will learn the truth ๐Ÿค”

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

I had to look that up, @lmaster - you are absolutely right๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe oh yes James and the giant peach is a classic for school kids 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe  Wait a second.... have you and your daughter never seen James and the Giant Peach?! I actually read the book before I saw the movie - it's such a cute story! @lmaster 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

No, but now I want to watch it, @Shosh85! Also sounds like it might be good summer reading for her. I will check it out ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@eshoe  I really love Roald Dahl books! โค๏ธ

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

I did not know he was the author, @Shosh85. I loved the Fantastic Mr. Fox! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Sensory experiences are so important, though, @eshoe. Overly fragrant, ill fit, etc can totally ruin a mask.
