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.

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster Thank you

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Mellmars1185, The Juice Beauty mask sounds nice - I feel like I have a full size of it from a gwp or sub box. Going to have to take a look. Is it a mask you'd repurchase?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I liked the mask. I have to try it out again to see if I would repurchase. I found it made my skin feel soft and matte. I have oily skin, especially in the summertime, so it might be better for the summer before makeup if I want a more matte finish. I always end up getting some shine.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

That does sound like it would be good in the summertime @Mellmars1185. Keeping that in mind. I get oilier in the summer months too. Will be interested in your thoughts on it if you end up reaching for it again in the summer months. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Good job using up those foils and samples @Mellmars1185 โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘Œโ€Œ

 

 

 

I got two of those, the same sample as you, in the little container lol I made it too watery each time, even knowing I had  made it a bit off the first time.... it's really hard to judge that tiny of an amount โ€Œ๐Ÿ˜…โ€Œ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CynthieLu The struggle is real ๐Ÿ˜…. I was thinking it was so small i would even know what to use to measure it and mix it. How did you like the mask?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Clay masks are not always the best time for my skin, there are a very few I like and like me back lol but they are just too intense for my skin mostly.

 

I did like a drug store seaweed one by Freeman and my skin really loves #Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask 2.03 oz/ 60 mL sooo much @Mellmars1185 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Not on theme but I thought Iโ€™d share thoughts on

the Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Deep Retreat Pore-Clearing Kaolin Clay Mask 2.5 oz / 75 mL 

Spoiler
I could not resist this gwp because I was super curious about this mask. 

Scent wise, this has a general clay mask scent, nothing strong. It spreads on easily, not stiff. 

The instructions say to leave it on for 30 minutes which I did though I felt it had almost fully dried down after about 10 minutes. It also claimed you should see โ€œoil dotsโ€ from the mask drawing out impurities. I did notice some dots on my chin which is a problem area for me, but Iโ€™m torn on whether oil was drawn out or whether it was just sort of settling into pores. 

I actually did feel like my pores looked refined after using it. I think itโ€™s similar results to the boscia pore pudding which was an old old fave of mine. Temporarily gives a tightened appearance but Iโ€™m not sure it does anything permanent. My skin did feel nice after and not dried out which some clay masks to. 

also used this Goat Milk Sheet mask. A nice creamy serum that was hydrating but it took forever to absorb.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Good to know you had some benefits from this clay mask.  A goat milk mask sounds very soothing and softening @Kim888 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

The Benefit pore mask sounds like a nice one @Kim888. Do you think you'll pick up a full size when you finish this gwp?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I'm not a huge clay mask person since I have dry skin so I usually just make do with samples and such when I want to use one for targeted areas.  I still like the Volition one which sadly sephora doesn't sell any more best - I always thought that one was great 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I get that @Kim888. Iโ€™m dehydrated year round and tend to be combination for most of the year but lean more oily in the summer and dry in the winter. Clay masks get more attention when itโ€™s warmer and I have my go toโ€™s do anything new usually stays as a mini or sample size. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thank you for posting about the gwp mask @Kim888 I saw it and was very curious but I didn't end up getting it.

 

 

 

I find Clay masks to strong for my skin but they do a great job at tightening up those pores, sounds like this one did a good job of it to ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Kim888 ohhh sounds so nice!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Today's mask was a new one to me, I wasn't sure what mask I wanted to try but when I pulled this one from the box I knew today was it's day โ€Œ๐ŸŒ โ€Œ 

 

I couldn't read this one, everything but a few words were in Japanese. But it clearly said "Barrier Repair" and those masks do great things to my skin.

 

What **really** sold me on this one was the complete random image of a happy baby in the corner. No Context, it had me laughing a bit, thinking maybe it gives people baby like skin โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘โ€Œ โ€Œ๐Ÿ˜โ€Œ

 

It's hard to explain but I found sooo much humor in this aannndd I regretfully ripped the image opening the mask.

โ€ƒ

But I guessed a 30 minute wear time (I couldn't go longer because it did start to dry out)

 

This was an almost thick serum with a nice amount left over in the package. *yeahy for extras*

 

No big scent and the mask was a bit too big and loose and needed adjustments, no adherence problems after that โ€Œ๐Ÿ˜‹โ€Œ

 

The results thou, 

 

*happy dance* My skin was sooooo nice and shiny and glowy. The serum absorbed nicely and easily into my skin. A few hours later and I'm still glowy. I just used my regular moisturizer over top โ€Œ๐Ÿ˜„โ€Œ

I really like this one soooo much, it reminds me of a peach Korean mask I tired by Yom Puri I think? 100% would use it again. ๐Ÿ’œ

 

Spoiler I found whole the image online if your curious โ€Œ๐Ÿ™ˆโ€Œ

 

So this was generously gifted to me and if you've been following closely alot of these masks have been fabulously chosen. I think the person behind the scenes would be an amazing curator of goodies or experience boxes and I'm just putting that into the universe โ€Œ๐ŸŒŒโ€Œ I think you'd be amazing at it ๐Ÿคฉ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Youโ€™re so right @CynthieLu!  That babies glowing face would sell me too. Good to know you had wonderful results ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CynthieLu, the masks in the Mandom Barrier Repair series are really good; great to hear it performed so well for you. ๐Ÿ™‚ You're right, the image of the baby is meant to associate the mask with giving the user skin as soft and smooth as a baby's. Some other versions of the mask packet (either a previous version or ones found in different markets) have just the image of the baby's face. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CynthieLu I love the baby๐Ÿคฃ doesn't make sense, but it's cute!! Sounds fabulous 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Lol the baby is so random @CynthieLu ! But I guess smooth as a baby is advertising lingo ! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

MTXX_MH20230307_190940800.jpg

Look at that face ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ it sold me!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2023 Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@CynthieLu maybe the baby has something to do with the barrier like diaper barrier ๐Ÿคฃ
