[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💗

Yes, yay for simple and effective, @ather 🙌🏼 The Farmacy surprised me, as many of their products have been hit or miss for me. The promo is still available, too😉

eta in the US, not sure about CA

@eshoe Aww the eye patches are so cute aren't they?  I am sad that Ulta and Macy's don't carry it anymore but I can order from Creme Shop direct and use my points there.

[lmaster]

Hoarding mine @SportyGirly125 @eshoe 🤣

[eshoe]

I wanted to @lmaster, but I am doing everything I can now to use what I have while I can. Best to use it fresh today rather than expired tomorrow, ha ha! @SportyGirly125 

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe @lmaster I have been saving mine too.

[eshoe]

At least they have a long shelf life, @SportyGirly125. I just couldn’t wait. Plus I wasn’t up for a full sheet mask, but wanted to do at least something. This was perfect. @lmaster 

[lmaster]

@eshoe @SportyGirly125 they are just too perfect!! That's exactly why I'm not buying anymore sheet masks, I have to get these used before even thinking about it 🤣 

[eshoe]

I had no idea they had a rewards program, @SportyGirly125. I have only ordered from them once. 

They are so cute. I did not want to remove them!

One from last week for H--- the Dewytree Hyaluron Melting Chou

Mixed feelings about this one. The fit was ok though it could have been a little longer in the chin area. The sheet was a thicker cotton with no adherence issues and the serum was milky with no issues with tack after removal of the mask. The scent was very noticeable but pleasant- very "green" smelling with something I couldn't quite place. While wearing the mask, I felt a little bit of tingling and kept driving myself nuts not being able to place a scent I just knew that I knew, so I finally checked the ingredients (when oh when will I learn to do this before hand?!) and there it was- lime oil. That was definitely the scent- fresh greens and lime. And while lime is a very lovely scent, my skin does not always do the best with citrus oils and extracts. So that tingling? Yeah, I removed the mask to find lots of redness. It dissipated eventually and I had no real irritation afterwards, so that's good. But I wouldn't use this one again based on the inclusion of the lime. For anyone who doesn't have that particular sensitivity though, it was nicely hydrating. 

And one for this new month K, M, L (so many choices!) with the Leader's 7 Wonders Kalahari Melon Moisturizing Mask

A far better experience. I'm pretty sure I've used this one before, but haven't in a long time and I have no idea why because it was so lovely. It was a bio-cellulose sheet that was practically gel-like as for how it felt on the skin, but stayed in place well. The serum was a light gel and it didn't have much a scent, maybe the slightest hint of fruit overtop the usual fresh sheet mask scent. After removal this one left my skin so incredibly soft, smooth, even, and hydrated. Like most Leader's masks for me, this one will definitely be a repurchase.

Love me a bio-cellulose mask @quspork .  Glad the Leaders worked out better after the lime issue with the Dewytree.  

[quspork]

Yes, @missjeanie the bio-cell ones are usually so comfy to have on. 

[QueenMarceline]

@quspork Wow that melon mask looks awesome and is definitely calling my name 🙂

[quspork]

I think it's definitely worth a try, @QueenMarceline.

[lmaster]

Oh no!! Sorry to hear your skin had a reaction!! @quspork that leaders mask... I don't think I've seen that one before!!

[quspork]

Totally my own fault with the first one, @lmaster. Shoulda checked those ingredients!

[itsfi]

@quspork, in my early days of sheet masking, this line of Leaders masks was one of my favorite biocellulose masks. ♥️ It’s still one I really enjoy - this varietal and the acai one are my favorites. 

[quspork]

It's hard to go wrong with too much from Leader's, @itsfi. So many solid ones in their line up. 

[itsfi]

Very true @quspork! It's interesting to me how different AB brands keep certain sheet mask lines and not others. The more "old school" brands, like Leaders, Innisfree, My Beauty Diary, etc., seem to have kept their older lines for a while, rebranding them or changing the size of the mask and have rotated out more quickly of their lineup the more recent sheet mask collections. With Leaders, the 7 Wonders, Recovery, Renewal and Daily Wonders series are still around which I think is great, but their newer masks, like the pina colada and mojito ones or even the 17V masks, unfortunately seem to have been discontinued already.

M is for Mango 🥭

• Thin white sheet 
• Decently flexible and fit really good
• Lots of clear serum with extra in the pouch
• Scent was fruity mango sweetness
• No lasting tackiness
• Wear time 25 minutes
• Results were hydrated and plump skin 👍
• This one was excellent!! The scent alone makes me want and need more

   

[missjeanie]

The packaging just made me smell this without actually smelling it @lmaster !  Oh mango how I do love you.  I'm going to need to add this to the 'to buy' photo album just to smell it!

[lmaster]

You would absolutely be in love with this scent!! @missjeanie
