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 ๐ฎ
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
@QueenMarceline I enjoyed this mask. It did leave a tack for some time and I learned from @itsfi that it could be a good mask before applying makeup! I would repurchase to try it out!
@Mellmars1185 Glad it worked out for you, ๐ definitely try it out as a "primer" mask.
@Mellmars1185, JMsolutions is a good brand. I tried this mask for the first time a few months ago and to my surprise, really liked it. Hope it worked out for you.
@itsfi @QueenMarceline Thank you! I did enjoy it. I found my face was tacky after until i went to bed. I ended up putting serum and moisturizer over it and woke up with very soft skin! I did enjoy this one! I forgot to mention that I used a gua sha that i had put in the freezer to press the mask on and that was a pleas experience.
@Mellmars1185, good call on using your gua sha with the sheet mask! ๐ I need to remember to reach for mine or my roller, or both, more often when masking. Yeah, tack from the serum in a sheet mask can often be taken care of with the rest of a skincare routine. I also like to use sheet masks that leave a tacky feeling as a morning mask - to prep skin for makeup. The tackier ones make for a good primer for the face.
@itsfi That is a really good strategy for masking! I am going for a little spa getaway with my fiance next week. Im going to try that before our dinner date!
A spa getaway @Mellmars1185? Just saying those words is making me feel more relaxed! ๐ That sounds like a fantastic weekend for you and your fiance.
Definitely give the mask as part of makeup prep a try. The dewy glow that often results with sheet masks is nice but is usually only temporary, but it can work out really well before a night out - the lit from within glow can look beautiful wtih foundation and makeup.
@itsfi Yes! Thank you. I am so looking forward to it. I need a little mini vacation.
This Week: Precious Metals - Platinum, Gold, Silver, Copper & Foil
Sephora Collection The Silver Mask (Glow Booster, Silver Foil Mask)
My last masking experience on this thread and my chat with @Shosh85 reminded me that I also have another one of these Silver masks on hand from the old Sephora Collection releases. I remember really liking these masks so I bought several back-ups when they were still being sold, although I believe this is the last of these golden/silver masks I have left but I will try to see if maybe I'm simply missing them in one of my stashes. However, what better time to use this Silver foil mask then when it's on theme this week? ๐ Click the spoiler to see me looking like the Tin Man. ๐
My Thoughts:
It's too bad they don't make this one anymore.
@missy94612 It really is ๐
@QueenMarceline I'm not a huge fan of foil masks, but these were nice ones! Glad you liked the silver mask! I remember liking more than thought I would.
You look great as Tin Man! ๐
@Shosh85 Haha, thank you so much ๐ I have the same sentiment, foils usually aren't my favorite... I see them as a bit gimmicky (but in a fun way, haha)
I'm going to have to see if I have any of these left @QueenMarceline I do remember liking them enough to buy multiple ๐คฃ
@lmaster They were truly great, not sure why these poofed away from us.
@QueenMarceline, that's great that this mask gave you beautiful glowy results!
@itsfi It was super nice to get a winner, finally. It's always a shame that the high performing SC masks are usually limited edition.
@QueenMarceline Sounds like you had a nice relaxing masking session. Great idea on wearing before bed!
@Mellmars1185 Yes, it was quite nice ๐ only wish they would bring these back.
๐นRoses are red ... or pink actually, in this rose centric masking sesh ๐น
F for fruit (acai berry in the hair mask and pomegranate in the hydrogel) and floral (roses, lots of roses)
H for hydration and hydrogel
tl;dr: The scattered rose pieces embedded in the 2-piece Sanctuary Spa Nourishing Rose Petal Hydrogel Mask makes for a pretty presentation, but was otherwise lackluster in terms of its performance and results, at least for someone with dry skin. The very mild hydration this unscented hydrogel provides may be better suited for those with oily, very oily or sensitive skin.
The tgin rose Water Hydrating Hair Mask and the Fresh Rose Petal-Soft Lip Cream, on the other hand, both contained a fresh rose scent, more prominent and noticeable in the lip balm than in the hair mask which had a more fruity but just as pleasant fragrance to it. While I wouldn't characterize either as providing the most hydration and moisturization among other similar products in their respective categories, they each provided good results in keeping with their claims to add hydration to hair and lips.
Sheet Mask:
Hair Mask + Lip Care:
What a bummer that the mask didn't perform better; it's really such a pretty mask.
