| 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💗
A couple of catch up masks! I know already before I try that photos won't load so I'll add them from my phone in the comments.
Saturday: PTR Hungarian Thermal Water & Giselle Honey
Spoiler
The PRT Hungarian Thermal Water is an okay mask for me. It doesn't work any wonders for my skin. I didn't look any younger like the claims lol. The mask did leave my skin feeling smoother and looking refreshed though so I can't complain too much, I don't really put too much faith in any crazy claims like a mask making me look younger. The mask didn't feel warming to me this go round, but I feel like I've used this before and it did. This mask was provided to me gratis from @TeamBIC and I'm quite thankful to have tried it. If I happened upon a smaller size of this mask sold solo I'd pick it up. The full size (5.1oz) is just too much for me to ever get through. The smaller size of 1.7oz, is do able but it always seems to be in a pack with other masks that I'm not interested in. While this mask didn't wow me, it would suit for an 'everyday' mask for me, its not super hydrating, but I enjoyed the experience of using it. I'm in a mood of late where I'd like to finish up some masks and this is one I'm aiming to finish this month, and I think I'll be able to easily as I enjoy the mask. Of the PTR masks this one is probably in my top 3 accompanied by pumpkin and Irish mud. Thanks to Team Bic for letting me try this mask out!
After my PTR I used the Giselle Honey Biocellulose mask. I recall quite liking the bio cellulose aspect here, however nothing else was remarkable about it, either in the negative or positive. It's been 5 days and I just can't remember anything about it, other than it was fine and there was no honey scent. This is why I should write reviews right away instead of waiting.
The eye gels... they're fine I guess. Nothing spectacular. I'm trying to use them more often to see if the amount of use will help them make an impact. I don't feel like they do any harm, but I'm also not sold they do anything beyond what an eye serum would do. This is my second LookAtMe set of eye gels and I can't see a difference between these pearl ones and the snail ones I just finished.

Monday: DE Babyfacial, and Whole Foods Moisturizing Green Tea
Spoiler
DE Babyfacial is a favourite of mine. I usually try to use a stronger exfoliating mask/peel like this once a week. This one is great, I get a touch of redness right after I take it off (I do leave it on way too long though), but the red fades within 5 minutes and my skin has always looked more clear and smooth after using it. At this point I think we all know how we feel about this mask, I won't go into too much detail. I will say that I'm almost out of this... and I can't get to my US PO box... so there's that. I sat at my desk at my part time job today, the window in front of me faces the river that separates Canada and the US... I could literally see the building that houses my favourite restaurant.... I miss you America.
The Whole Foods mask was ... not memorable. I'm gonna try to be better about remembering masks lol. I do remember thinking that I thought this was going to be better, I think that may have been my fault though as for some reason I have Whole Foods set in my mind as a super fun grocery store that I don't have, so all of their stuff must be super fun too. This was sent to me by the lovely @eshoe it did have a bit of an herbal scent to it that faded once I had the two piece mask on. I do like the two piece factor, but I didn't notice the special microfibre fabric.
