💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

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 💮

Spoiler

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💗

Mmmmmm @sonnydee. I love that mask - I was lucky to get to try one from MOTM. It's definitely a good one. 

[itsfi]

Fun song, fab mask! Definitely a combo to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S for, @sonnydee! 😉🍌

[eshoe]

Ahhh everyone loves this mask, @sonnydee 🥰 I have one as well that I am ‘saving’ you know how that goes. I haven’t seen that CT, but sounds like a pass. 

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  This is such a nice one - I love that scent! It's hard to go wrong with bananas! 😉🍌

[Kim888]

@sonnydee @lol my mind still plays that song when I have to spell bananas 

[sonnydee]

😂 @Kim888. when I saw what theme this week was, I immediately thought of that song & this mask or the other apieu banana milk mask 🤗but I wanted to try this out.

Opening acts, Melting Sugar and Bite, with Hectic taking the main stage at 8!

What a great theme, thank you @PrettyPaint for giving me an entirely new way to view my masks:) 

The Freeman Melting Sugar Matcha Ice Cream was a gift from @lmaster (thank you kindly!), and was almost too pretty to use. It claims to be pore clearing, and contains both peppermint leaf  and willow bark extract. I did notice a minty scent, which caught me a little off guard as I was half-expecting tea. It was an extremely thick gel, and there was just enough to cover my face. I left it on around 20 minutes, and removed. Very pleasant masking with this one. I enjoy these Freeman masks, and am grateful @sephoraaddict918 shared her love of them here, they are always fun!

The Hectic It’s Pack Time is a repeat, although it’s been awhile. This two part mask has a lotion-like serum underneath a soft mask material that is similar to foot mask booties. It adhered well, one of the rare two part masks that I leave both top and bottom in place the entire duration. I removed after 20 minutes, with no remaining tack. My skin was smooth this morning, so this combo was a hit!

[lmaster]

@eshoe I can so relate to not wanting to use a mask because it's so pretty!! 

[eshoe]

It’s ridiculous, @lmaster! I have to tell myself, just enjoy the mask, silly:D

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Haha. I'm glad the theme wasn't too strange. I was pretty worried about it. These work perfectly for band names!!

That Freeman mask looks nice! And I don't know that I've tried a mask before that had a foot bootie material. Looks like a fantastic combo, and thanks for the lovely photo!

[eshoe]

It’s a great theme, @PrettyPaint! I had so much fun going through my masks to find something that sounded viable, which was so so much fun:) Thank you for sharing, it will be a repeat I look forward to next year, too!

[PrettyPaint]

Awww...thanks so much @eshoe. I'm so glad you had fun.

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the Freeman mask sounds interesting. How many uses do you get from a packet?

[eshoe]

Surprisingly, only one @itsfi. The gel was extremely thick and there was about one tablespoon’s worth in the packet. I’ve tried some of the other single packets like this and found that to be pretty standard.

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Haha! I love what you did with the theme! So fun! 
Happy to hear you enjoyed all these! The Hectic mask is definitely a favorite of mine! 😃

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 I checked the date in the package and it was manufactured in 2017, so it was nearing its time, but was still wonderful! I would buy more of these too:)

[missjeanie]

Great theme for sure @eshoe @PrettyPaint !  Gorgeous sequins too eshoe, they give a rock n roll vibe.

[eshoe]

I’m so happy to finally have a use for those PMG sequins, @missjeanie! They are so pretty, just needed a purpose:)

[PrettyPaint]

@missjeanie @eshoe  Haha. I was wondering if they were the PMG sequins! 🙂

[eshoe]

Yep, @PrettyPaint - I’ve had them tucked away for awhile now. Finally time for some glitter ‘n shine🤩😊

D is for deep moisture

Isntree Ceramide Deep Moisture Cream Mask

This is a thin/medium soft cotton sheet mask that was loaded with a slippery, sort of milky-gel serum and had a typical sheet mask kind of scent. The fit was great - just a bit long at the chin. It had great adherence and it was super comfortable to wear the 40 minutes I had it on. My skin felt very happy after removing - hydrated, nicely moisturized, soft and plump. This is another one I'll be adding to the (long) list of repurchases!
