💕😌 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💗

@eshoe, the scent doesn’t linger but it’s not ideal, that’s for sure.

[missjeanie]

Well now doesn't this sound just delightful @itsfi !  Do I need another mask in my 'to buy' photo album... no.... will I add this one anyway... yessssssss.

[itsfi]

Hahaha @missjeanie! I’m a fan of the Illiyoon brand but I didn’t know that this particular line was so good until now - of course I come upon a great-for-winter mask near the end of the season. 😆 

[missjeanie]

Just looking out for next year @itsfi !

[itsfi]

Hahaha! Yes, always have to be prepared, right @missjeanie? 😆 

[missjeanie]

Would pretty much be irresponsible if we weren't @itsfi .  Gotta be a contributing member of society and all lol

[itsfi]

There it is @missjeanie! It’s one of my duties and responsibilities! I haaaave to do it. I love the “contributing member of society” standard. Going to have to use that when I get asked “more purchases?” Hahaha!

[missjeanie]

@itsfi lol I had a colleague at work today mention my ridiculous sized iced coffee that they'd seen full through three different meetings.... They were poking fun at how much I drink in a day these days... I had to explain that I was trying to be a responsible contributing member of society by supporting a local coffee roaster.  I'm also now seeing that perhaps a couple gallons a day is too much?  Contributing to society... contributing to society lol

[lmaster]

This one definitely sounds perfect for cool weather @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, yes!!! I only wish I had reached for it earlier in the season. Definitely planning on picking up more of these masks (and maybe a skincare product or two from the line) for next winter. 😉 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Wow they results on that sound awesome! High praise !!

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Wow they results on that sound awesome! High praise !!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I’m putting it on my list (and hopefully I remember) to pick up a couple of the skincare products from this line at the end of the year. 

[Skunk12puzzola]

@itsfi the song 🤣

[itsfi]

@Skunk12puzzola, that line perfectly captures the dynamic between the shift to winter and my skin! 😂 it’s not a question of whether my skin will get very dry but when will it start and how long will it last! 😔

Sephora Collection Almond Foot Mask

Target Concern: Winter Dry Feet ❄️

My Thoughts:

Spoiler

I have quite a few of these on hand and since my feet have been dry I decided to throw on a foot mask. These come in a convenient sock-like form, while is incredible because it completely minimizes or eliminates the mess usually associated with foot masks. They have "clasps" that are stickers which fasten the socks around your ankle and keep they on your foot-making it so it's easy to walk around in these. This particular holographic packaging came from their older holiday collection, they should still be available in the "regular packaging". Despite having this on hand for a while, I didn't feel any difference in performance than what I am typically used to. After removing this from their packaging, I did notice a lightly artificial almond scent. The suggested wear time for these is 20 minutes but I wore them for about 40-45 minutes while doing a couple chores. The texture of this mask is a gel-like substance and I actually put these inside my beauty fridge before wearing them which felt very nice and relaxing on my tired feet. I'll definitely be putting more foot masks in the beauty fridge from now on. After removing these my feet were left covered with a bit of the gel-like substance which feels moisturizing without any tackiness. I do enjoy the Sephora Collection foot/hand masks because I always feel like they have an immediate softening effect on me. However, the moisturizing/softening is effects not very long lasting and I definitely have tried more effective masks. Regardless of that, these are a pretty solid pair of foot masks socks that I'll probably continue to keep on hand in the future. 

[eshoe]

Moisturizing foot masks in general are such a treat, @QueenMarceline. These especially!

[QueenMarceline]

@eshoe Sephora Collection definitely does good foot masks 🙂

[missjeanie]

Great idea putting them in the fridge to cool off tired feet @QueenMarceline !  I bet they'd be wonderful mid summer like this!

[QueenMarceline]

@missjeanie Can't wait to try it out 🙂

[lmaster]

@QueenMarceline I love the scent on this mask
