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
The real star of the show here, @itsfi, is the bright and cheery yellow bouquet of daisies! Of course, the JM Solution sounds fantastic, too ๐ And the Amika, well, that is about the thickest and most nourishing hair mask around. Much love for that, as well.
@eshoe, yes, the chrysanthemum daisies definitely add a spark of joy; maybe I should just post and review on flowers. ๐ But then my skin might suffer. Ack! ๐ง Can't have that. ๐
@itsfi ohhhh the jm egg mask,,, sounds excellent!
@lmaster, the JMsolution mask was good at the outset; I would have repurchased on the fit, feel and hydrating results alone. Top that with actually experiencing some firming from just this one use? Yeah, I'm sold. ๐ Luckily, it's not too hard to track down and the price point isn't bad - I've seen it on sale for $2.00 a few times which I think is a really great for what you're getting with this mask.
@itsfi ohhhh that's a great sale price!!
@lmaster, I thought so too, especially for this "Deluxe" line from the brand. At first I wondered whether the lower price might be because it was nearing its expiration date, but nope, this one had a 2024 expiration date. If only I knew it would be such a great mask, I would have stocked up! Er...because that's really something I need to do - stock up on sheet masks! ๐
I've never heard of idebenone until now but if it's got some firming effects, like that JM Solution mask, I'm all for it. Great chart - always love your charts - they're very informative. My husband is intrigued by the dough mask.
@missy94612, thank you! Charts helped me keep track of my masks when I first started masking and come in handy when comparing similar masks - thereโs a certain objectivity with the charts, I suppose. ๐ Both these were good; Iโm impressed with the JMsolution mask giving off a firming feel. That brand has been one of the great discoveries since I started masking. I want to give some of their other skincare products a try after getting through my current stash.
@Margalee, Carolโs Daughter is a lovely brand. ๐ Sephora used to carry Carolโs Daughter; I donโt remember when they stopped stocking it, but in the 2000s, CD was available online and in Sephora stores. I think you can find CD products in Ulta, some Target and Sally Beauty stores; all 3 storesโ website should have products available too.
Thank you for the rec on the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Mask Watermelon + Vitamin E mask. Iโll take a look at the ingredients list. I tried the matcha version within that line and it didnโt agree with me but the watermelon + vitamin E mask may be different. How often do you use the vitamin E mask?
Such a fun comparison, @itsfi! I do love a good Innisfree mask, but the JM Solutions one sounds really good.
@quspork, if I hadnโt tried the JMsolution Idebenone mask, I would have made a note to pick up a handful of the innisfree one to test out results if used daily (or even every other day).
@itsfi you are really the ingredient queen! Thank you for sharing your in depth reviews. I love how the texture on the pore mask sounds !!
@Kim888, thank you. The wash off has the most interesting consistency. I keep forgetting to take and post a photo; will try to remember to do that this week / weekend.
@itsfi Your photos are always so aesthetically pleasant ๐ป๐
@Skunk12puzzola, thank you. Itโs become a creative outlet for me over the years, so to be able to combine it with masking, a much needed part of my skin care and something I enjoy, is a gift.
@itsfi Great reviews! Glad you had good masking experiences. I have some JMsolution masks that I got recently so I hope they preform as Good as the egg mask!
@Mellmars1185, thank you. I've enjoyed the JMsolution masks; it's one of a handful of brands that have really worked well for me. It seems you've been having good experiences with the ones you've used so far.
This Week: Detox Dandies
Letters of the Month: I - M
Mask of the Day: Leaders Insolution AC Clear Treatment Mask (with Snail Secretion Filtrate)
My Thoughts: *Warning: Zit Talk Involved*
@QueenMarceline I am so relieved to hear your skin is finally showing improvement after your winter fiasco! Leaders is a solid brand. Your backdrop is pretty dreamy, and definitely soothing, too.
@eshoe Me too... it's been a journey that's for sure. Sigh. I got another one of these leaders masks with my ulta 21 days beauty blender order and I'll probably tag on a couple when I run out of more things. And thank you so much ๐ it's actually a painting I bought from a local artist in the Dominican Republic. It's one of my favorite pieces of art that I own because it reminds me of salt water waves, the sand in my toes and the most delicious pina colada I've ever tried that I happened to have in my hand when I found this painting, haha! ๐
