💕😌 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💗

@haleyvvvv  Mediheal makes some great masks! After all the great reviews I've read about this A:PE mask, I think it's definitely time for me to finally try it! Glad to hear you love it! 😃

[haleyvvvv]

@Shosh85 they really make some excellent masks. I'm excited to try out some of their other ones I have in my stash. But so many masks, so little time.

[quspork]

Love that Mediheal mask, @haleyvvvv! And yes- I absolutely think bulk purchasing after trying one sheet totally counts haha. 

[haleyvvvv]

Haha, yay, @quspork!! It is such a good one, I'm so glad I tried it earlier than I was going to thanks to this thread.

[itsfi]

Trying out one mask before purchasing a set DEFINITELY counts @haleyvvvv! Love that line of Mediheal masks! Sooo good! 💚

[haleyvvvv]

Yay, @itsfi!! They're so so so good. Now I need to try the rest (which are in my too large for someone who doesn't love sheet masks stash) after I work through the soon to be expired pile.

[PrettyPaint]

@haleyvvvv  That mediheal mask looks amazing! 

[haleyvvvv]

It is truly excellent, @PrettyPaint!! I definitely recommend.

[PrettyPaint]

@haleyvvvv  I am convinced! 🙂

[heartsmyface]

Oh!!  Oh my!   I’m fairly adventurous with my ingredients but I need a moment to collect myself. The active ingredient is from human stem cells.  Um, C is for Human Adipocyte Conditioned Culture Solution Extract 😮 

I’m not sure I can do this.  Maybe it’ll wait for gross week.  😅

 

 

 

[lmaster]

I wonder who's fat was on your face @heartsmyface 🤦😆 I'm sorry!!! I had to say that,,,, just had to

[quspork]

Huh. Now, that's certainly a new mask ingredient for me, @heartsmyface. I'll look forward to hearing your review haha!

ETA- I see your reply about trying out the mask below. The rosemary scent sounds really nice! 

[itsfi]

I’ve known this and never doubted it, but this just confirms it - you’re the bravest of us all @heartsmyface! 😳 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   I don’t know about that.  Maybe I’m just good at rationalizing myself into things cause I don’t want to miss out on anything potentially awesome.  It helped a lot that it was a biocellulose mask and that rosemary scent...gahhhh😍.  And it turned out like placenta and deer antler velvet did, so it’s just extra renforcement to try unusual things. 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Oh my goodness, how interesting!! I totally would've bought this one just because it said "Cinderella" on the front 😆 ....... definitely sounds like the perfect mask for gross week! 

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   Haha, i bought it cause it said biocellulose.  That was good enough for me.  The Cinderella was a bonus!  I’m actually wearing it right now.  It smells sooooo good of fresh rosemary sprigs!  Best mask scent ever!  I’m out cleaning the deck for spring while wearing it and trying not to think too hard about it.  The rosemary scent is very soothing and makes up for any gross thoughts.  I hope the results are  magical:) 

 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Oh, good for you!! The scent sounds lovely! Keeping yourself busy is a great idea! I'll be so curious to hear your thoughts on it - I hope it's magical for you too 😊🤞

Also, I second @itsfi's comment - what an awesome view! 

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   Let’s see, it dried down and got very thin as the masking session progressed.  The mask was like 1/4 the size it started off as.  It left my skin very plump, hydrated and smelling like rosemary.  There was a light oil residue on my face but nothing greasy.  More thin and slick with a very slight tackiness.  My skin’s been glowing all day.  I saved the extra serum in the fridge (cause opened animal product) to maybe apply tomorrow morning if I’m still feeling the love.  As of right now it’s getting an A+ but I still want more information as to how they harvest the fat cells and what exactly the regenerating benefits are. 

Oh I love our view!  It changes everyday with the weather.  It somehow makes staying home all the time not so bad. 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Aww, yay! Those results sound wonderful! 😃🙌

[itsfi]

Oooouh, fresh rosemary?! I’m feeling relaxed just thinking about it @heartsmyface! Love the view from your deck! Fingers crossed  for magical results!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Yeah if I ever see rosemary oil as an ingredient in a mask in the future I’m going to buy them all up!  The scent is heavenly!
