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💗

@lmaster Definitely love a good fruity scented mask! 😋

ather · ‎10-23-2022

@Shosh85 Sounds like a great mask! Glad you got to it before it expired!

Shosh85 · ‎10-26-2022

@ather Yup, this was a good one! This line of masks has been great in general😃

Cissy63 · ‎10-23-2022

@Shosh85 I have never tasted quince. It sounds tasty 😋. What a wonderful mask!

Shosh85 · ‎10-26-2022

@Cissy63 This mask makes them sound better than they are - they are actually pretty bland. 😂

CookieGirl1 · ‎10-17-2022

@Shosh85 huh, I don't think I've seen/noticed a quince mask before but that being said, I'm definitely not as well-versed in my sheet masks as a lot of the rest of you are. It sounds like it was nice, though, and even better that it smelled good!

Shosh85 · ‎10-18-2022

@CookieGirl1 It's definitely not too common...I've only ever come across two quince masks!

itsfi · ‎10-17-2022

Yesssss!!! So happy to hear this was a love for you @Shosh85! This quince one was my intro to this line of masks from Goodal. I remember not knowing really knowing much about the fruit itself or how it smelled. Some time after, I was attending a conference and they had quince paste so I was super excited to try it and smell it. 😂🤣😂 It was a letdown but it shows the impression this quince mask made on me. Hahaha! That was October 2019; wow! Where does the time go?!

Shosh85 · ‎10-17-2022

@itsfi Quince paste at a conference?🤔

I haven't tried in a long time, but from what remember it tastes kinda bland. My sister made some into a sauce once (like applesauce, but with quince.) It's definitely tastes better with some cinnamon and sugar!

eshoe · ‎10-17-2022

@Shosh85 pretty much everything tastes better with some cinnamon and sugar added to it 😊 this sounds like a great mask and hurrah for some milky goodness!

Shosh85 · ‎10-18-2022

@eshoe Haha! That's very true! 😂

itsfi · ‎10-17-2022

@Shosh85, it was part of a cheese platter they had set out during a cocktail hour. I don't remember it having any taste. I imagined it would taste and smell like the Goodal mask but it definitely did not. Ha! Interesting, a quince sauce? Now I want to look for recipes with quince in it.

Shosh85 · ‎10-18-2022

@itsfi I think I need to try a quince again. I swear when I had it a long time ago, it smelled better than it tasted. 🤔

itsfi · ‎10-19-2022

@Shosh85, if you do try it, I’d love to get your take on it. It sounds like it’s something that should smell good. I had to do a little bit of research - and I see that one of the grocery stores has quince. Maybe I’ll see about stopping by and picking up one this weekend.

Kim888 · ‎10-17-2022

@Shosh85 @I don’t think I’ve ever heard of quince before! Sounds like a great mask though !

Shosh85 · ‎10-17-2022

@Kim888 It's definitely not a fruit you hear about often!

Open week: loving honey!!!

Spoiler

Honey is one my of favorite ingredients for when my skin is dry! The Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask is one of my favorite masks for winter! I still don’t love it as much as the original, but it does a nice job of bringing hydration to my skin.

The abib ph honey mask is a thick cotton mask drenched in a clear serum. It smells very faintly of honey. The fit is slightly larger but overall good.

Whether they actually are or not, my skin always seems to love masks and cleansers they claim to be PH balancing. This mask was very hydrating and felt great on my skin. It did seem to take a while to absorb, but not in a tacky way. More like when you use a sleep mask overnight.
