| 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? |

V for veggie, vitamins and Veraclara
Carrots are one of my favorite veggies; they're a great source of Vitamin A (and also contain vitamins C & E).

I admit that the packaging on this sheet mask drew me in - it's so cute. Performance-wise, it's a mask that would be good for daily masking - the thin sheet is comfortable to wear; fit and adherence are like most sheet masks and will vary for each person but adjustments can be easily made for a more tailored fit. Results - nicely hydrated skin with a healthy glow - are fine. I wouldn't say that it's a holy grail but it's a nice enough mask that I'm interested in trying others from the line. There are several different masks from this series, all with adorable prints; I picked the ceramide one and the royal propolis version. Am interested in seeing how those perform on their own and vis-a-vis each other. I noticed that most, if not all, contain both alcohol and fragrance, though they appear in different places in the ingredients list depending on the particular mask. Neither caused any adverse reaction for me but I know both are ingredients that folks may wish to avoid for a host of reasons, so these masks will not be for everyone.
Anytime a gastropod mask is involved, as with this snail mucin mask from last week, I can't help but smile thinking about @PrettyPaint's masks that make a great band name which will be a masking theme later in the year, and @twilightnicky's Escar Go-Go's 🐌 Those always make me smile.
LAPCOS Escargot Sheet Mask can best be described with one word - EXTRA!!!
* Extra serum
* Extra juicy
* Extra large - all around & all over
* Extra hydration and plumpiness
The overall largeness of this sheet mask actually came as a surprise to me; I don't recall these Lapcos masks being so extra large in every way. Tagging @Shosh85 and @lmaster who I believe have used a mask from this Lapcos line of mask, maybe not this particular escargot one, but perhaps other(s) from the range, maybe the honey one (?) - if you've used a mask from this LAPCOS series, did you find it to be or do you recall it being so large all around?
The eco-friendly biodegradable sheet is packed with a clear, slightly viscous, gel-like essence, with even more essence in the packet. I didn't pick up a scent to it, other than what I'd consider that fresh, clean, signature sheet mask scent. While I left the mask on for my usual 30 minutes, I'm pretty sure I could have tacked on an additional 30 and still have some extra essence waiting to be absorbed. My skin felt bouncier and more hydrated, with a natural, healthy glow to my complexion.
