💕😌 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💗

Ooh, love the sound of that Vitamasque, @Kim888 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, the milky serum sounds wonderful for this time of the year. Was the scent odd because it was unpleasant or did it just smell off, like not what you generally expect from a sheet mask?

[Kim888]

It didn’t smell like it had gone bad @itsfi , I guess it just wasn’t what I was expecting from a cranberry and apple one, but it didn’t smell like that “just mask” scent either. It was slightly unpleasant but not overtly so. 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, it's too bad it didn't smell like cranberry and apples, but if it was unpleasant, even better that the scent faded away quickly.

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Ooooh, milky serum?! I'll definitely have to try this one, it sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

I don't think I've ever participated in any of the mask challenges since I'm not usually into masks besides the occasional overnight moisturizing masks, but I do happen to have a stash of masks to use up and a W mask! And since my skin was feeling especially sensitive today, I tried out Whole Foods' Soothing Avocado Mask. The cotton cupra is nice and soft, the mask stayed on well, and the mask felt cooling and refreshing. I got this mask in that mystery beauty bag that Whole Foods sells every spring, but I haven't actually gotten around to trying many of those products!

 

[lmaster]

Oh I loved these so much!! @txcatx 

[eshoe]

The Whole Foods masks have been pretty good overall, @txcatx! I have not picked up one of those bags yet, though I am tempted to every year. I am happy this mask worked out for you👍🏼

[quspork]

This is such a nice one, @txcatx. So glad it worked out nicely for you!

[Shosh85]

@txcatx  I've tried 9 different Whole Foods masks and this is one of my most favorites! So happy to hear you liked it!

[Kim888]

Ooh this sounds nice @txcatx ! I always forget the check the Whole Foods beauty area! 

[itsfi]

@txcatx, I like this WF mask; it sounds like you got some great results too! 🥑 Soft, cooling and refreshing is perfect for sensitive skin. 

WF’s mystery beauty bags have a good variety of products in them; there’s so many though that it’s hard to get through all of them.

V is for Vita - gifted to me from the lovely @eshoe!

SNP Fresh Vita Firming Jelly Mask

Material:

Thin, meshy cotton

Serum:

Thick slimy jelly- loved it!

Scent:

Not much of a scent, mostly just sheet mask smell with maybe just a very faint fruity scent.

Fit:

Not quite wide enough by the ears and just a little too long at the chin

Wear Time:

40 minutes

Tack:

Very light tack, but it stuck around for about a half hour.

Results:

Soft, hydrated, moisturized and bouncy skin with a little glow

Repurchase?

Yup, this is one I'd repurchase! Loved the jelly serum and the results were great! 
A big thank you to eshoe for sending me this one!

[eshores]

@Shosh85 - this looks refreshing.

[itsfi]

Looks and sounds refreshing @Shosh85!

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  It definitely was! A nice thick jelly ids always a treat! 😃

[Kim888]

Ooooh this is fun looking @Shosh85 ! Glad it worked out well for you!

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  The packaging is definitely fun! - but the great results make it even better! 😃

[eshoe]

“Thick slimy jelly- loved it!”

Hurrah for a mask that brought a little soothing to your skin, @Shosh85! 40 minutes is a pretty decent wear time, I seem to struggle finding a mask like that more recently but now that I think about it, humidity might have something to do with it.

So happy this was an enjoyable mask for you ☺️

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  This was such a great one! I love a good jelly mask! Thanks so much!

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 ohhhh that mask looks and sounds like it would be exceptionally great during the summer too
