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 ๐ฎ
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
@itsfi Good to know; thanks for the tip! I ended up buying a bag of ripe mangoes yesterday because they were 50% off, and I might have to give this a try.
Let us know how it goes if you do try it @txcatx. Here or on the food thread - https://community.sephora.com/t5/Besides-Beauty/What-s-on-your-plate/m-p/430729/highlight/true#M1948...
Itโs a refreshing treat! ๐ฅญ
@itsfi what a beautiful and delicious layout!!!
Thank you @lmaster! I'm sure I have a mango sheet mask around here somewhere too, but I was just wanting to dig into the sorbet that I kept it at a hair and lip mask session. Ha! Mango sorbet, yum!! ๐
Oooh, yummy mango! ๐ฅญ I think out of all the Laniege lip masks, mango and gummy are the best flavors imo ๐
Beautiful shot of what you used for your hair masking session @itsfi
Your Sherbert looks so good and refreshing ๐
@CynthieLu, Laneige has put out some great lip mask flavors over the years. I like the mango and mint choco versions. I've heard good things about the gummy bear version - I pick up a candy scent from it, but not a specific gummy bear scent that many have smelled. I liked the idea of the peach iced tea but wish the scent on that one was stronger.
The sorbet was refreshing; made for a nice treat with the mango hair mask. Thank you!
@itsfi I bet that hair mask smells amazing! Also, love your pic ๐
@CookieGirl1, the hair mask definitely has a creamy, mango scent to it. I wouldn't mind if it was a little stronger. Thank you; it's nice to pair two activities I enjoy - masking and photography. Or, maybe it's 3 things if we count eating ice cream / sorbet. ๐
@itsfi The ice cream/sorbet DEFINITELY counts ๐.
@CookieGirl1, I had a feeling you'd back me on this one! Ice cream / sorbet - not necessarily hydrating or brightening like a mask, but it sure is soothing ... for the soul. ๐๐จ
@itsfi Oooo this masking session sounds so good! The hair mask sounds so good. And the mango sorbet sounds delicious too. Great idea to add real fruit in it!
Thank you @ather! This was a fun masking sesh! Spring and summer have some of the best fruits. I'll have to do a deep dive into my mask stash to see if I have other masks with in season fruits. I'm not sure I need to make more ice cream / sorbet, but how can I say know if it makes for a good mask pairing?! ๐
Thank you for the review!! I didn't even realize they had new ones ๐คฃ @itsfi sounds like the material is something I would appreciate ๐
@lmaster, I feel like each new series of face masks in this almost circular shaped packets that the Sephora Collection puts out gets better. I do miss that honey version from the original line, along with the honey lip scrub and mask.
@itsfi Oh, yumm, that pie sure looks delicious! ๐๐ฅง๐ซ I haven't gotten around to trying the new line, but I really appreciate the comparisons - that's so helpful! The blueberry masks sounds pretty decent - I'd sort of given up on the SC mask line, but I think I may have to give this one try. ๐
Definitely love that Power Bright! I still have a couple more left, but I'll be super sad when they're gone! ๐
@Shosh85, I completely get where youโre coming from with almost giving up on the SC masks. I wasnโt going to try this new line and then I saw blueberry ๐ซ and a new type of material so I couldnโt pass it up. Just couldnโt. Ha! Glad I did; Sephora Collection is off to a good start with me with this fruits & plant series. ๐๐ผ I do wish they would run a promo on this line like they have in the past with their sheet masks - buy 2, get 1 free. Or maybe it was buy 3, get 1 free?
Oh goodness, if OleHenriksen brought back this Power Bright System, Too Cool For School started making their Coconut Ceramide sheet mask again, and Secret Key reintroduced that Honey Banana sheet mask, my mask loving heart would be so happy! ๐ฅฐ
@itsfi Thanks for being the Guinea pig for us and sleuthing out the details of this new line! I love that you choose Blueberry ๐ซ first. Blueberry is my favourite fruit and scent! The fit on this couldnโt be more perfect! I will grab one with my next order! Lychee and watermelon sounds delicious too! Your pie looks perfect! Iโm sure you will perfect it! Canโt go wrong with blueberry pie! Also I have never heard of a Bilbery before and had to google it to see what it is. What flavour does it have? I donโt think Iโve ever seen them here! Iโll keep my eyes out tho! We have a berry here that I also never had before they are primarily a prairie berry called a Saskatoon berry. Reminds me of a blueberry and a raspberry combo and they make a delicious pie!
Saskatoon berries, @ather? Just took a quick peek and they remind me of blueberries, yum!
@eshoe Yes they are like a wild smaller blueberry! So yummy. I make them into a pie with a crumble on top!
It has been wayyyyy too long since I have had a pie of any flavour, @ather - if I ever make it that far north again, I will have to keep my eyes out!
