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!
Summer Sunshine - Ice cream ๐ฆ , sunglasses ๐ , SPF ๐งด, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?
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
Itโs an easy one to use @PrettyPaint, it doesnโt irritate or bother my skin so I often use it just to get some masking in if I have recently dermaplaned/exfoliated/otherwise agitated my skin๐
@eshoe, is there a tint or color to the Holika Holika mask? Agree, the veggie line of the Quret masks would make for good filler masks.
Ah, sorry that I forgot to mention that @itsfi. It is a translucent baby blue that changes into white bubbling foam once it has been applied.
R is for root vegetables, with this particular masking sesh focused on carrots, Bugs Bunny's favorite snack.
Sheet Mask:
Hair Mask:
@itsfi The carrot innisfree sounds just perfect for this time of year!
It's a good first intro to this new sheet mask line from the brand @PrettyPaint! So far so good. ๐ฅ Hoping the other couple of masks I have from them work just as well. ๐ค
@itsfi The Innisfree mask sounds nice! I bought the whole line but still have yet to try any of them. I wonder if they'll be similar to the Farmskin Salad ones ๐ค
Ugh. Sorry about the strong scent on the hair mask! Definitely sounds like a mask I should avoid ๐ฌ
@Shosh85, please take my word for it and steer clear of this hair mask; your nose will not appreciate the fragrance. It's too bad because it did perform nicely. I will be focusing on using this tub up as soon as possible. I wonder if I can dilute the potency of the scent by mixing it with another hair mask??? Hmmm ๐ค
Oooh, the whole line? Fun!! I have 2 other ones. I'm excited to hear your take on this line and compare notes over the ones we both have!
@itsfi the innisfree sounds very refreshing ๐ง I like your tie-in to the theme; very creative!
The hair mask, not so much. You didnโt mention the exact notes of the scent...Since it wasnโt pleasant I am thinking lotion-y๐ค
@eshoe, oops, sorry about that. Went to grab the tub to give it a good whiff. It smells heavily perfumed, maybe every so slightly powdery but very much just a cloud of perfume. It actually made my eyes water a bit this time when I went to smell it. That's not happened before when it's been used.
Ooof @itsfi, powdery is a big โnoโ for me. I recently finished a DS of the Christophe Robin Regenerating Hair Mask with Prickly Pear Seed Oil 8.33 oz/ 246 mL and found the scent very off-putting. A hair mask needs to be pleasantly-scented!
@eshoe, a case of every nose has its preferences - I like the scent on that CR prickly pear hair mask, but I know that it is not for everyone. Finishing it means you don't have to smell it anymore. That's how I look at what I have left of the Evo Love hair mask - just gotta work my way through it. ๐
This one works for both themes - a cute Rainbow mask ๐
The Creme Shop Rainbow Mask
This is a medium thickness cotton sheet mask that was white with cute colored hearts all over it. ๐๐ It has a yummy and refreshing fruity scent, that to me, smelled like a mix of blueberry and cranberry. The fit was better than your average Creme Shop mask - just a little too long at the chin. The adherence was ok for the 30 minutes I had it on, but the chin part did pop up half way through and did not want to go back down. When I removed it, my skin felt a little tacky, but absorbed after about 5 minutes. My face looked a little brighter and felt slightly plump, hydrated and soft & smooth.
This is a great mask! I'd definitely buy more if I spotted them at Marshall's/TJ Maxx again!
The mask:
@Shosh85 I scored some of those a while back. I haven't tried it yet but my mom loved hers. I hope I can smell it when I get to use it.
@Samtian Oh, I hope you'll be able to smell it too! It's such a pleasant fruity scent. Glad to hear your mom enjoyed it! ๐๐
The scent on this one sounds delicious, @Shosh85๐I am already planning out my TJ Maxx trip in July, I will be on the lookout!
@eshoe Not much to dislike about this one! It's one of the very few Creme Shop masks I'd repurchase ๐๐๐ซ
This is such a cute mask @Shosh85!! โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐ I have one you sent me and will give it a go later this week. I'm finding that I may need to be a little creative with the masks in my stash and "R" week! But I have some masks lined up for the cute mask - such a fun theme you came up with! ๐
@itsfi This is definitely in my top favorites from the brand and the cute hearts are a nice bonus! I hope you enjoy it too! ๐๐
That's good to know @Shosh85! ๐ Some of the newer masks from The Creme Shop (well, some of the older masks from them as well) are just 'meh' so I'm always happy to hear when there's one that performs well. That it's one of your favorites from them says a lot to me about it.
R is for Rose
