[eshoe]

Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

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💗

Oooh is be curious to know which ones you have the most of, too @ShortErica 🤔

[ShortErica]

My Marshall/TJ Maxx box purchases are what got my numbers up @eshoe - Yadah, Holika Holika, Look at me. There are some letters that I've used up or only have one or two masks left. I'm doing the Yadah jelly masks this week and now I'm curious about my current thoughts on the other style. Only one face - such problems! 🤣

[eshoe]

I definitely miss my TJ Maxx excursions, @ShortErica 😉

[ShortErica]

Me too. I'd break my mask no buy if it would get things back to normal @eshoe. Hopefully next year it will be better and my stash will need some restocking.

@ShortErica  The peach smell sounds nice! The eye mask sure is pretty.

[ShortErica]

Yeah, the peach was a great scent @emaisgr8. I try to not have too much fragrance on my face but I'm a sucker for a good smelling mask, especially when it lives up to its packaging.

[lmaster]

Now I'm curious about where the fragrance sits in the new versions they released,,, @ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

Hmm..I don't know @lmaster. I don't mind a fragrance at the bottom cause even though I know fragrance can be a potential skin irritant, a good scent is enjoyable. But yeah, when it's above the good ingredients, I'm not happy about it. Hopefully the new ones have fragrance closer to the end of the list.

@ShortErica  Love this Creme Shop showdown! I think the HA one is my least favorite out of all these too. 😉 I would also have to agree that the brand in general hasn't really been too impressive, but yet I still can't get myself to stop buying them when a new one comes out 🤷‍♀️☕️

[ShortErica]

Price and availability are very convincing factors @Shosh85. And who doesn't love trying something new?!

[WinglessOne]

@ShortErica  Nice Creme Shop run! I'm very much with you on TCS masks in general: they're way too hit or miss for me to consider them a favorite brand. I do still like the honey turmeric mask, though I don't recall mine having eye flaps... or maybe they do and I just ignored them. Hmm, now I'll have to use one this week to find out. 😄 

I'm going to start snipping off eye flaps and using them to cover exposed bits of my jaw. The only times I've ever closed eye flaps on masks were during bath soaks, when I plan to lie back and keep my eyes closed for 20+ minutes in a warm bath. And that doesn't happen often because I usually sip tea or wine (or bourbon) and read during my baths, which requires open eyes. 

[emaisgr8]

That's a great idea and way to use those flaps @WinglessOne 

[ShortErica]

Can't wait to hear if it has eye flaps on not @WinglessOne. Those sound like some enjoyable baths.

B is for BioBelle sweetglow.

This is the first time I’ve used this mask from BioBelle and I really enjoyed it. It is a thin tencel sheet that had lots of serum, that has a nice light sweet nutty scent. The fit was really good, I didn’t have to make any adjustments. I left it on for 20 minutes and and there was still plenty of serum left to massage into my face, arms, neck, and chest. It left very minimal tackiness. My face felt very moisturized and did have a nice glow. I would definitely repurchase this one. A+

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  I always crave cotton candy when I see this packaging 😋 Glad to hear you enjoyed this one! I remember liking it too! 😃

[itsfi]

Oooh @faeriegirl, this one sounds fantastic. I’m intrigued by the sweet nutty scent on this one. 

[ShortErica]

Very cool. Tencel material is nice. Did it help with plumping @faeriegirl?

[faeriegirl]

I did notice a little @ShortErica. 

[ShortErica]

Awesome! Thanks @faeriegirl 

[sonnydee]

i had a hard time getting my hands on this mask @faeriegirl happy to hear the struggle was worth it!

[eshoe]

Although this one doesn’t have them, eye flaps are one of my pet peeves (thank you, @ShortErica!) and Crème Shop seems to have quite a few.
