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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
@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?
@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.
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.
Good job using up those foils and samples @Mellmars1185 โ๐โ
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 โ๐ โ
@CynthieLu The struggle is real ๐ . 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?
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
Not on theme but I thought Iโd share thoughts on
the Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Deep Retreat Pore-Clearing Kaolin Clay Mask 2.5 oz / 75 mL
โ
Good to know you had some benefits from this clay mask. A goat milk mask sounds very soothing and softening @Kim888
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?
@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
I get that @Kim888. Iโm 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 itโs warmer and I have my go toโs do anything new usually stays as a mini or sample size.
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 ๐
@Kim888 ohhh sounds so nice!
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 โ๐ โ
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 โ๐โ โ๐โ
It's hard to explain but I found sooo much humor in this aannndd I regretfully ripped the image opening the mask.
โ
โ
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 โ๐โ
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 โ๐โ
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. ๐
Spoiler I found whole the image online if your curious โ๐โ
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 โ๐โ I think you'd be amazing at it ๐คฉ
Youโre so right @CynthieLu! That babies glowing face would sell me too. Good to know you had wonderful results ๐
@CynthieLu, the masks in the Mandom Barrier Repair series are really good; great to hear it performed so well for you. ๐ 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.
@CynthieLu I love the baby๐คฃ doesn't make sense, but it's cute!! Sounds fabulous
Lol the baby is so random @CynthieLu ! But I guess smooth as a baby is advertising lingo !
Look at that face ๐๐๐ it sold me!
@CynthieLu maybe the baby has something to do with the barrier like diaper barrier ๐คฃ
