💕😌 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?

"Not like menthol but,more like ice cubes on your face" - this sounds wonderful @Cissy63! I know I have a few masks from this brand and will have to look for them soon. The ones you've used have all sounded like they've been good ones for you. 😁

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Thank you, so far what I have tried from them I have found it beneficial!

[CynthieLu]

This mask is right on theme with its Artic Fox @Cissy63 ❄️ 🦊, it sounds lovely 😍  especially if your skin was in need of extra soothing.

[Cissy63]

@CynthieLu  Thank you, the cool in sensation was actually wonderful!

[ I have not hit on the theme or letters of the week 🧐 ]

Innisfree Fermented Soybean Bio Cellulose Mask [collagen]

 

The Claims: Boosts Moisture level, Visual Elasticity, Texture, Moisture Barrier and Transparency 

The Wear time: 10-20 minutes(I wore for 30)

The Juice: This mask has a milky liquid with a thin serum like consistency.

The Smell: It's fragrance was light but stayed through the entire wear time. It reminded me of a herbal floral scent, but I can't pinpoint it.  Possibly lavender 💜 

The Feel and Fit: It wore like a second skin and was thin and jelly like. It stayed in place the entire time and did not dry out. I believe it was fragile so I handled it gently so no tears 😄 but I think this one is handle with care. The mouth was way too big but everything else was okay. The chin was smaller than most sheet masks I've worn. 

The Results:

Spoiler

🥳my letter is Y for Yes this is a nice one🥳

My skin was bright and plump and felt very good after this masking session. The liquid absorbed quickly into my face after I removed the mask, i just gently patted it dry.  There was a handful of serum left over in the package to use on my neck and arms. (I love extra in the package! 😄)

My skin looks even and calm and nicely hydrated. There was slight redness on my cheeks that appears to be soothed, nothing drastically different but I'm very happy with these results 🥰

This felt soooo good to wear and I would happily wear it again. 

Happy Masking everyone! 🦄💕

This is an amazing mask, @CynthieLu! I think @heartsmyface has tried this one, too…

Love the ones that feel like second skin!

[ather]

@CynthieLu  Yay!!! Sounds awesome 

[CynthieLu]

It definitely was 😊 @ather 🌺

[Shosh85]

@CynthieLu  This one sounds amazing! So happy it worked out so well for you! 😃

[CynthieLu]

💕 thank you @Shosh85 it's a good time when a new mask works out so well 😄🍀 

[lmaster]

@CynthieLu this one sounds wonderful!!! 

[CynthieLu]

@lmaster  It was a winner for me 🏆 😄 my skin just wants moisture and some tlc gentlenes lol

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, I don't usually see milky serums paired with a bio-cellulose mask - how interesting (and fun!). Biocellulose masks adhere very well - you just have to be extra careful about getting it out of the packet, unfolded and on your face. Delicate things they are. Glad to hear it performed so beautifully for you.

[CynthieLu]

I had a feeling it was fragile, and your right it adhered amazingly 😂 they had instructions to put it on very specifically. Remove one piece of backing, then put on your face and carefully remove the remaining backing @itsfi but I was a cowboy and all the backings came off to soon lol but it all went on ok in the end 🤠

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, I create more tears in a bio-cellulose masks when I try to follow the directions for applying the mask. 🤣

[CynthieLu]

@itsfi lol! That's exactly what happened, I was trying to to do it thier way but i felt it was becoming risky to the integrity of the mask so I went rogue and luckily,  no tears 😅

[Cissy63]

@CynthieLu  Sounds like you found a winner 🥰. It’s so good when you find one !

[CynthieLu]

This mask was lovely @Cissy63 I have never been able to try Innisfree and I'm so happy with it.  I love k-beauty so much 🤩 this just reaffirms my belief that k-beauty is 👌 😋

[Cissy63]

Last week I used the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Face Mask Coconut 

The mask had good adherence and plenty of serum.  I left it on for 20 minutes.  There was still plenty of serum left when I removed it 

My skin felt soft and smooth.  I let the serum finish absorbing before I did the rest of my skincare 

There were no skin problems from wearing it.

@Cissy63  I do like this one! 

[Cissy63]

@ather   Yes, it’s a good one!
