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
P is for Pumpkin (which I guess also makes me hungry
โ
Sounds very interactive, @Kim888 - with maybe a bit of patience to go on the side ๐ค I have never seen a mask like this, but love guaze masks as well. Looks like they are on sale right now, and Fig Jelly? Parsley Water? I might have to make a small order ๐
@Kim888 Those strips look pretty interesting! I think I've tried something similar, but there weren't enough strips to really cover your whole face.
@PrettyPaint @This was definitely more than enough to cover my whole face and a little neck as well!
@Kim888 Haven't tried a mask like this one before... sounds fun! A pumpkin scent would've been a nice bonus, but I'm glad the results turned out decent ๐
That sounds really interesting @Kim888
I've neve seen a mask like that, where you do yourself up in straps or gauze. Very neat!
I've not tried a mask like this, but dang it pumpkin scent!! Where are you?? Lol @Kim888
I haven't used a sheet mask for quite a while, so this was a nice treat.
I found a mask for the multi-step theme:
Vitamasques Super Berry Probiotic Repair 3 Step Facial.
There are three steps: a cleanser, a sheet mask, and a moisturizer.
The moisturizer foamed up a bit and was nice and gentle.
The sheet mask, while slightly large, was very comfortable to wear. I think I detected a slightly fruity scent, but it was pretty faint. There was plenty of serum, and it advertises that it contains berry extracts, probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. I haven't done any research on the use of topical probiotics, but my skin did feel nice and soft after removing it.
The final step was a probiotic repair moisturizer. I found it nicely hydrating. I sometimes have issues with my foundation pilling up after using this many products, but I actually didn't have any trouble! My skin feels nice and soft, and I would definitely repurchase.
@PrettyPaint I feel like we are on the same mask wavelength - I just recently tried this one as well ๐
Impressive that it did not cause any pilling under your makeup. I am always iffy on masking before makeup with a new-to-me mask, so I appreciate this info for future use. I like that I can pick this up on a Target run, too, ha ha!
@eshoe I feel like I have been getting a lot of target masks these days. If you try it in the morning, I hope you don't have any issues with pilling. I'm not really sure all the variables that factor in (and whether foundation type/brand) plays a role)!
Itโs not hard to toss one in your basket on the way to pick up whatever you are actually there for, @PrettyPaint ๐
AM masking is a toughie. I am pretty hesitant to try one prior to makeup application unless I have done it in the past with no issues. I will keep this one in mind for the next time I am up for it!
@PrettyPaint great mask to hit the theme!
That is a fun 3 step routine in a nice little package ๐ that's awesome ๐
@CynthieLu It would be a nice mask to take on a trip/vacation! ๐
Ahhh, Vitamasques does do some great sheet masks @PrettyPaint! ๐ The slight fruity scent on this one sounds refreshing!
@itsfi I tend to like this brand, and it was definitely a nice mask for spring!
Do you have a favorite mask from the brand @PrettyPaint?
@itsfi Good question! Honestly, I'm terrible at keeping track. I think I've had pretty positive feelings about all of the ones I've tried (they seem to mostly be fruity ones). If my memory serves me correctly, I think there was a watermelon one that I really liked. I'd need to try it again to make sure, though!
@PrettyPaint ohhhh now this sounds fabulous!! And a fruity scent ๐
@lmaster I really enjoyed it, though especially because I hadnโt used a mask in so long and have missed it!
@PrettyPaint Oh, I remember liking this one! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too! ๐
@Shosh85 Iโm glad you also enjoyed it. I think itโs definitely worth a repurchase!
