๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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 ๐Ÿ’ฎ

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yes @lmaster I think I've had cucumber, rose, strawberry and pineapple over the last few years.  I'm 100% sure that I have noted no difference other than fun shape and scent lol.  The strawberry scent being the best in my opinion lol

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie I agree!! I bet the strawberry version would be the best

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Better mini than none, @missjeanie! Back to two jobs again, yikes๐Ÿ˜ณ There are some recognizable masks here, how fun. I hope your skin is appreciating all the extra love right now๐Ÿ’•

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe I find doing at least mini reviews keeps me accountable to actually masking. We're having a tough time staffing a position so I end up acting in that role every so often, office politics of hiring and staffing... but at least I enjoy the work!  I'm trying to keep up with doing a wash off in the morning before my first meeting, and then a sheet mask at night, I had a few slack days in Feb where I wasn't keeping up... and my skin very much told me so!  In the cold weather/indoor heat, I swear one or two days off makes such a difference! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I admire your commitment to masking, @missjeanie ๐Ÿ˜ I have still be masking daily, but posting has become increasingly challenging. Kudos to you for hanging in there! Also, WOW to AM wash-off masks, that is amazing!!! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Posting is the hard part some days @eshoe I 100% get that!  As much as I love scrolling through and reading... well life just happens right.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

It does, @missjeanie, it does!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie Oooh ๐Ÿ™‚ I love the too cool for school 24K mask and did a review on it not too long ago. Now I really want to try the egg cream one! Looks like an amazing round of masks there.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline The egg cream in the yellow version is one of my favourites, I quite liked the biocellulose of the 24K pumpkin, but I think the Egg Cream is still a bit above it in my preference. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie, Iโ€™m like a kid in a candy store looking at all the fun variety in your masks! Iโ€™ve wondered about Celderma as a brand and hearing your take on these two masks was helpful. The diamond hydrogel sounds (and looks) lovely. Iโ€™ve only used one Pucca sheet mask - it was fine but yes, the packaging made me do it! ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I've never seen a mesh insert in the hydrogel before this one.  It certainly didn't feel like a normal hydrogel to me.  I'm curious to try more from the brand now. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie, if youโ€™re curious then I am too! Will be keeping my eyes open ๐Ÿ‘€ for more of your thoughts on this brand. Hydrogels are not ones I reach for often or first as far as sheet mask material but I feel like it would be good to narrow down a couple within that material type as go toโ€™s. ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi They aren't typically my favourite mask type either.  I prefer bio cellulose or micro fibre, but I'm torn on if I was a fan here because of the way it was executed or the novelty factor of something different.  I have a couple more of these to do this month, and am hoping to decide with those extra uses. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie, staying tuned to hear your thoughts. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ For some reason I canโ€™t fully explain, I feel like itโ€™s important to find a couple of hydrogels that I like (to say โ€œloveโ€ would be a stretch) and then I can check that box and move on to sheet mask material I like better. ๐Ÿ˜† 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ Hello Dryness, my old friend ๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽถ  

I - Illyoon (targeted masking_.jpg

Illiyoon is one of the many brands in the AmorePacific portfolio. This particular brand is targeted ๐ŸŽฏ at those with sensitive and dry skin, and this specific line of products is known to be gentle and moisturizing. Great masking theme @PrettyPaint๐Ÿ˜Š 

 

Spoiler
The light, fresh, softly floral lotion scent of the oil in serum essence of the Illiyoon Oil Smoothing Mask is pleasant, not overpowering, and quickly dissipating. The oil in serum feels almost as if it is infused in the lightweight, thin (0.2mm), possibly microfiber sheet. Adherence is wonderful and fit can be easily adjusted to suit face size, shape and features. The mask wears incredibly well and comfortably, and my skin just slurps up the oil serum. There's a slight, soft tack that remains after an half hour of wear that can be easily remedied by following up with a moisturizer.  A slight tacky-to-the-touch feel is hardly a deal breaker for me when it comes to sheet mask, but even if it were a consideration, it would be outweighed by the magnificent results - my skin felt soft and smooth, and looked happy, healthy, hydrated and moisturized, with a slight bounce and glow to boot.  This is an excellent mask to soothe and nourish dry skin, one to have on hand during the cooler seasons. 

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  

This sounds amazing! Can I ask where you got it? 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612, you can find this Illiyoon sheet mask at StyleKorean or Stylevana. It sometimes shows up at other AB online retailers but currently those 2 retailers stock it. Tagging @quspork as she posted about this one just recently and may have another source for it. Would love to know how it performs for you if you pick it up. ๐Ÿ˜€ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thanks for the tag, @itsfi. I'm pretty sure I picked this one up in a Stylevana haul last year. Both Stylevana and StyleKorean are good, reliable sites, @missy94612 if you're interested. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

A mask that wears this comfortably sounds dreamy, @itsfi. The hydrating benefits are (extra) icing on the cake! I will ask about the lip balm, because, you knowโ€ฆno stone left unturned๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe, oh, sorry about that; ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I thought I had said something about the balm in an earlier post. The lip balm is great. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ  Not sticky (always a plus), good lasting power, and hydrating. ๐Ÿ’• Thereโ€™s a scent to it that isnโ€™t my favorite but itโ€™s not a dealbreaker - a bit of a waxy / plastic scent at first; fortunately, it doesnโ€™t linger. The comfy fit of this mask, any mask really, is the bonus or extra icing for me, with the hydration from the mask being much needed. ๐Ÿ˜Š 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Well it is likely I missed that post, @itsfi! Everything sounded a-ok until plastic entered the conversation๐Ÿ˜ฌ At least it is nourishing, there is always a silver lining, right ๐Ÿ™‚
