💕😌 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💗

I will take oranges instead of dots or checkboxes, yes please @itsfi 🍊

Also, everything I read (including the fair warning re:parabens) made me think this would indeed be a decent stand-in in a pinch for everything else. I would try this handy mask.

@eshoe, one of the nice things about the Saborino mask packs is that they sell single use packets so you can try it out before committing to a 28-day pack. Some varieties are also available in a 5-sheet mask pack. Not all flavors are offered but there’s at least one of the morning masks and evening masks in the smaller sizes. 

Yeah, I was having some fun with using the emojis in my reviews. 😂 First with the snail mask 🐌 ⬇️  and now this one 🍊⬆️.

H is for Honeybee 🍯🐝

Spoiler

It's Skin Honeybee Nutrition Sheet Mask

Material:

Medium thickness cotton

Serum:

Clear, slightly viscous and not much extra

Scent:

Light honey - closer to fresh than artificial and unfortunately I could barely smell while the mask was on, just got some whiffs here and there

Fit:

A smidge too long at the forehead and too wide at the temples and forehead

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

Light, stuck around for about 10 minutes

Results:

My face looked brighter and felt soft and smooth and comfortably hydrated

Repurchase?

If I hadn't bought a 10 pack, I most likely would, but that's pretty much the case with any mask that smells like honey 😋

@Shosh85  Ingredients look good! Everything sounds awesome although too bad it was less artificial scent and closer to the real thing!

[Shosh85]

@ather  It was such a great mask! I actually liked that the scent was more natural than artificial - but really, I don't mind either!

[eshoe]

I would just like to know where I can find that wax seal @Shosh85 😂

The abbreviated ingredients list is a bonus!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Oh my gosh, yes, me too! That would be a such a super cute wax seal! 🐝😍

I definitely agree, a shorter ingredient list is always nice to see!

[eshoe]

I have a couple of seals that I use for Christmas cards, @Shosh85, I remember watching my Mom seal cards like that and I loved watching her; it seemed kind of magical! And of course now I found this, inspired by your mask😄

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Oh! I love it! 🐝

[Kim888]

Sounds like a good one @Shosh85 - I love honey masks too! 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  It was really great! I'm definitely a sucker for anything honey! 😃🍯

[itsfi]

This one looks and sounds good @Shosh85! The ingredients list on this one is wonderful and I love that propolis is so high up on it. 💛🍯

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Me too! I love that the list is fairly short as well! 😃

[itsfi]

Completely agree @Shosh85! There are less than 20 ingredients, always a plus. Added fragrance isn’t great but not a deal breaker by itself, at least for me. 

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 love what you said!! Pretty much the case if it smells like honey 🙌

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yup, honey is the best! 🍯 Can't resist a good honey mask! 😃

Um...kind of cheating with the letter for the week here, but H for "Help Me???"
This is called DrPacker Shaking Protein Soothing. You mix up a Hydro (another H) Boosting Ampoule with a Calming Gel, shake it in the included jar, and it mixes to become a cream. Then you wear it for 20 minutes and peel it off (it's supposed to be a rubbery texture). Has anyone tried this before? It didn't really want to spread evenly on my face, and it never dried down to a rubbery texture. It remained a paste consistency, so there was definitely no way to peel it off. It also felt kind of irritating on my skin, so I didn't look as happy as the lady on the packaging. This one didn't really work for me. 

[ather]

@PrettyPaint  Darn. Such a bummer it didn’t dry down properly. I wonder why 🤔

[PrettyPaint]

@ather  That's a mystery why it didn't dry down. I wonder if it could have been old? It was from ulta and on sale...perhaps old stock? 

[quspork]

This one looks like quite the little science experiment, @PrettyPaint. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out though. Hopefully the irritation didn't last long!

[PrettyPaint]

@quspork  It definitely seemed like a science experiment. Fortunately there were no long term negative effects! 🙂
