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 💮
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 masks💗
@PrettyPaint Me either, it's really cool looking.
Same @Samtian I've never even seen this one before!
Interesting @Samtian. That sounds like an awesome mask! I honestly didn’t even notice this one being released. Thanks for posting the review !
Sounds like this one worked out really well for you, @Samtian!
@quspork It did. We'll see how the gel side does later.
Yes, an update on the other side would be great @Samtian 😊
Thursday’s masks were inspired by what I was making for dinner and was intended to check the boxes for this week and last week’s challenge themes - I used the sheet mask and Laneige lip balm in the morning and the wash off mask and Milk Lip Mask as part of my evening routine. L is for lupeol, found in eggplant, which is a shade of purple, a color of the rainbow. 😉 L is also for my “creatively” linear logic in putting together this masking arrangement.
Sheet Mask:
Antioxidant, astringent, anti-aging – anise, eggplant, pomegranate (a natural exfoliant), and gingko biloba nut (increases collagen production, anti-bacterial)
Moisturizing – fig (a natural exfoliant), glycerin, and allantoin,
Brightening – mulberry (helps fade dark spots / hyperpigmentation)
Hydrating – sodium hyaluronate (salt form of hyaluronic acid)
Wash Off Mask:
Rejuvenating (aka anti-aging) – eggplant (rich in vitamins and minerals), hydroxycinnamic acid (antioxidant, also anti-inflammatory), and rutin
Detoxifying – kaolin clay and bentonite
Hydrating – chia seed and birch juice
Soothing, anti-inflammatory – centella asiatica (cica), houttuynia cordata (also controls sebum, refines pore), and calendula
NOTE: This mask contains alcohol; based on my research online they appear to be the good alcohols, but if your skin is sensitive to alcohol or you are looking to avoid it in skincare for any reason, this may be a pass for you.
Lip Products:
LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Gummy Bear (looks like there's currently a set out for the holidays with a mini version of this gummy bear flavor as well as the original berry flavor (which has a sheer pink tint to it) - LANEIGE Glowy Lip Wonders)
MILK MAKEUP Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask
@itsfi Well the sheet mask would probably be a pass for me because of the alcohol and scent, but the wash-off mask sounds wonderful! I've tried several Papa Recipe sheet masks, but haven't tried any of their other products! Though, I did just get a sample of the Bombee Honey Cleanser that I'm excited to test out! Have you tried any of their other products?
The wash off was great @Shosh85. And such a pretty hue, which I forgot to include a pic of in my original post. Here’s what it looks like, straight from the pod and then thinned out.
I have a honey serum 🍯 (I’m pretty sure it’s a serum, I have) from Papa Recipe. 🤩 I am using a couple other honey products right now and haven’t tried the Papa Recipe yet, but it won’t be long before I do. My skin loves honey. 💛🍯 I’ll be very interested to know your thoughts on the PR cleanser after you’ve had plenty of time to try it out. 💛🍯
@itsfi @Oh wow, that’s some intense color! I’d almost be worried about it staining my face!
@heartsmyface, that’s a really good point. I don’t tend to keep clay masks on for very long, mostly because I’m concerned they’ll dry out my skin. This one calls for 10-15 minutes. I think I left it on for about 10.
@itsfi But no staining at all? Usually if I’m stained it happens right away. I am in the habit of doing arm swatches and I usually find out what the offending product is when I go to wash them off😆🤞
@heartsmyface, no staining for me. 😀 I plan to use the mud mask again, maybe on Sunday, and will put some on my arm for longer than 10 minutes to see if it stains. Will let you know.
@heartsmyface @itsfi This makes me think of Violet on Willy Wonka when she turns into a big blueberry ....... "Violet, you're turning violet, Violet!" 😂
@Shosh85 🤣. That would be both hilarious and traumatizing!
@Shosh85 @heartsmyface nice Willy Wonka reference. 💜
P.S. I haven’t turned into a blueberry ... yet. 😂
Love eggplant!! @itsfi wonderful theme as usual!! Great creativity and presentation
Thank you @lmaster! 🤗 Eggplant is great - I didn’t care for it all as a kid but have really grown to like it as an adult. The cream mud mask is a good find too. 😃
Love the purplelish theme! I’ve been wanting to purchase the gummy bear but I’m still working on my Apple lime and am trying to not horde so much. @itsfi
