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?

@Julessss14 Noooooooooo... lol.  I was hoping people were going to be disappointed so I didn't feel like I needed to spend 40$  on two pairs of eye patches just to try them out.  

[Julessss14]

Ahahahaha it’s a little bit of a splurge… idk I just luv Dior so had to try! I think it boils down to 29/2 so like $15 or so a patch set. Maybe for a special occasion it’s perfect ✨ 

[Mellmars1185]

@Julessss14 These eye masks look very fashionable! Great selfies!

[Julessss14]

Thank you! 💕✨

[QueenMarceline]

@Julessss14 I would love to try these out 🙂 Thanks for your review of this brand new product.

Couldn’t resist the CD! 💿✨ You’re welcome!!!

From last week, a bit of reverse:

Spoiler

It is the FS that turned into a sample, with the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial™ AHA + BHA Mask 1.69 oz/ 50 mL. This peel is by and far my favorite for giving my skin extra-soft-to-the-touch texture. I had not used this since finishing my mini last year, so I applied a thin layer and set my timer to five minutes just to be safe. Holy tingling! I had forgotten just how potent this stuff was. It felt like one of these, only for my face 😳

I use this very sparingly, maybe one a month at most. When the sample showed up in the Rewards Bazaar, I was more than happy to pick it up, knowing that it will last me a few months. Amazingly, my skin was not irritated or red.

Next up was the Facetory Woah that H2O two-step sheet mask. This was recently reformulated, and although I know that I tried the first one, it did not stand out to me. The first step is an essence, which I think is a brilliant choice. I often use my Violette_Fr Boum-Boum Milk as a precursor to a sheet mask, to help my skin better drink up all those good ingredients. So this made me very happy, and prepped my skin for the sheet mask. I did not notice a scent, and found it easy to unfold and smooth over my face. It fit remarkably well, and adhered tightly. There was a little extra serum in the packet to pat on after about 10 minutes, and I left it on about 15 minutes longer before removing. There was minimal tack, and my skin felt adequately hydrated. This stood out much more that the original version, so kudos to Facetory for the improvements! And thank you dear @itsfi for last week’s theme 🙌🏼

[lmaster]

I picked up a couple DE as well! @eshoe and ohhhh yes,,, the tingling.... If only your image was not accurate 😂

[eshoe]

@lmaster yeah this mask is intense, isn’t it? But the next morning, when I felt my cheeks, I remembered why I love this one so much 🥰

[nuinui933]

@eshoe 

The mask must just be available here; I didn't see this brand in S. Korea - I would have remembered the cute packaging.It sounds good. 

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 that sounds about right. Facetory has slowly moved from selling other brands to now mainly in-house brand products. I haven’t tried their skin care line but a few of their masks (like this one). 

[quspork]

It's nice to hear about a reformulation that improves the mask, @eshoe! I feel like too often we get reformulations that just don't work out as well (still side-eyeing you, Biobelle). 

[eshoe]

Isn’t that the truth, @quspork 😂

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the sheet mask on the 2-step was nice for hydration. Do you know what was reformulated?

[eshoe]

I knew I saved these for a reason, @itsfi. It looks like they removed the fragrance, for one, yay! @Shosh85 the Moon Velvet was reformulated too! I did not notice a difference from the original, however🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  That Babyfacial is such a good one! It definitely packs a punch!

The Facetory mask sounds so great! I haven't tried this one yet, but there's been a few by the brand that I've tried and really liked. 😃

[eshoe]

I think the Moon Velvet was a good one (from Facetory) @Shosh85. Most have been so-so, but this was pretty impressive!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @itsfi  So good to hear you both liked the Moon Velvet mask! I actually have that in my line up of masks for next week! 😃

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 I think you might just like it;)  @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85 @eshoe I used the Moon Velvet mask the other day and it was wonderfully moisturizing. 👍

[eshoe]

Ooooh it is such a good one, @itsfi @Shosh85. It checks quite a few of those 💗 it mask boxes🙌🏼
