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
@Samtian When the folded ear's too difficult to pop even when pressing the palm of my hand over it, I press a hard object over itโusually a glass jar containing a mask or moisturizer, sometimes an old compactโand that does the trick. I hope you have better success next time!
@WinglessOne Thanks, haha I tried that too.
Oh yes the ear can be tricky @Samtian. In good news some masks pop easier than others so hopefully your next one is better.
Ughhhhh! I hate that. Or if I dont hear a noticeable pop I question, " Did it work?"๐ณ๐คท @Samtian I do love the bears though
@sonnydee Haha at least I'll know to be on the look out for a pop noise. I have some more later on down the road.
J is for Jelly
Holika Holika Milky Lemon Jelly Sheet Mask
This is a thin, meshy cotton sheet mask that was saturated with a clear jelly serum and had a creepy character design on it. ๐๐ฅด It smelled like a typical sheet mask, with maybe a hint of lemon in there. I didn't really smell anything while the mask was on. The fit was a little off - too long at the chin, and the mouth part didn't line up right, so the strip between the nose and lip kept getting into my mouth - so I just chopped it off. The adherence was ok, except for the chin that didn't seem to want to stay put. I kept the mask on for about 25 minutes, when the chin just completely stopped sticking. There was some light tackiness after removing that absorbed in less than 10 minutes. My face looked a smidge brighter/less dull and my skin felt nicely moisturized and had a nice glow.
I really enjoyed the results from this one and love the jelly serum. I would use this one again but probably wouldn't repurchase because it wasn't the most comfortable mask to wear and just wasn't anything super amazing.
My face: (is this picture showing up?I've been having trouble posting)
@lmaster Haha! Right? I was really hoping for a nice lemon scent, but at least it didn't smell like a lemon cleaner! ๐
The package is intriguing @Shosh85. Too bad it wasn't comfy. Otherwise it sounds enjoyable.
@ShortErica Im sure I bought these because of the packaging ๐ For some reason I never expect a character mask to be comfortable ๐คท๐ป It was a fun one though!
Lemon jelly sounds like it would be such a great combo; if only it wore more comfortably @Shosh85! ๐
@itsfi Love jelly masks - especially during warmer weather! I mainly bought this because it said "jelly" and because of the cute character on the packaging - too bad the mask itself wasn't as cute, but at least it was good for a laugh! ๐
From last week, P is for pomegranate
Well @itsfi raspberry danish sounds amazing
Doesn't it @lmaster? I've been thinking about one since using the sheet mask, but so far, I have been good. The operative words being "so far". ๐๐คฃ๐
That's a pretty package @itsfi ๐ i think I got 1 mask from this brand & was really impressed by how much I liked it...might have to look into more...*cough* when my stash dwindles...hahaha lovely pic as usual!
Hahaha @sonnydee! Completely with you on that *cough* ๐ Iโm somewhat close to using up masks that were purchased pre-2020 so that is encouraging. But it seems I made more sheet mask purchases in the early part of the year, before the stay at home, than I initially thought I did. ๐ค ๐ Whoops. ๐ฌ
@itsfi This brand seems to make some nice masks! The first mask I've tried from this brand was from you and I loved it!
I love your scent descriptions! It definitely sounds like a yummy smelling mask! I'm actually not a big fan of pomegranate, well at least by itself - so a raspberry scent actually sounds better to me! Happy to hear it turned out pretty decent! ๐
@Shosh85, when I opened the packet I thought it was a raspberry flavored mask because of the scent and I thought I completely missed on the theme of the week as a result. ๐คช Then I noticed the flavor was actually pomegranate. ๐ Iโve liked the masks Iโve used from this brand so far; will have to look into it more ... well, maybe after I get through a handful more masks. ๐
A "K" and Forgotten Wonder to end the week (almost):
