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!
Summer Sunshine - Ice cream ๐ฆ , sunglasses ๐ , SPF ๐งด, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?
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
Yes, agreed! I honestly thought it was still around!! @quspork
@sister13 Ouhhhh Iโm so jealous you still have some of these!!! They were the best!!!! I used the last of mine up earlier this year and was sad to use it. I love your cute headband!!
This one was/is amazing! I think I have a few more packs and might even be able to
stretch each pack into 2 uses! And you know I canโt resist anything Hello Kitty! @heartsmyface
Forgotten Wonders I -M ๐ฉ ๐ช ๐ฎ
My forgotten wonder mask is from the back of my beauty cabinet. The special place at the back where my abundance of masks reside. I brought 5 of these sweet heavenly babies in a value pack (*so much easier on the wallet) and break them out when my skin needs to be rescued.
It's a fun feeling thou isn't it? When you go sifting through the beauty pile and find an old hidden gem?
This is one of my fav ๐'s
Soothing Hydra Solution
I started getting these as a cheaper option to the jelly allatonin mask by the same company, I got 5 for 17$ instead of one for the same price tag.
It's all star ingredients are Aquaxyl , Aloe, Bambusa Vulgaris Extract , Pinus Densiflora, Thuja Orientalis and Chamaecyparis Obtusa.
The fit was to small for my eyes and it took 3 cuts to shape it better, between my brows, above my lip and the chin. After I added the cuts it fit snugly and didn't slide or move. The mask stayed moist for the entire 20 minute wear time.
Each mask has a backing sheet, which is something I have not come across in my sheet mask adventures. Not sure of its purpose ๐
No tingling or odd feelings it was just nice and cooling.
Afterwards I patted the rest of the serum in and found it absorbed all the way into my skin. No sticky or heavy resisue and it didn't need the over night treatment to really sink in and absorb. I could use this and go out no problems. It did even out my redness and plump up my skin. I like this one allot.
I usually mask 1 time or maybe 2 times a week, I would use this if I felt my skin was red, about to flare up or in need of barrier repair or a boost.
Comparing it to the Allatonin Jelly mask by Dr.Jart, that one for me is better for night time, it's * amazing * but the serum is heavier. I think it's better for results and feels nicer with its special rubbery mask.
I will say the sheet mask with aquaxyl is a nice option that is less pricey and is the good quality ingredients I love from Dr.Jart.
Happy Masking! ๐๐๐ฆ

@CynthieLu I've been wanting to try Dr. Jart masks forever now, I might have to splurge in the new few months to actually make the purchase! This one sounds like a really nice choice. Sounds like you got a lovely deal on these which I always can get on board with, great job! ๐
They have so many different kinds @QueenMarceline something for everyone ๐ and it was Winners where I found them at the best price but I'm sure there's deals all over out there.
@CynthieLu, Dr Jart is a great brand! ๐๐ผ Yay for finding it in a pack of 5. Some brands include a backing sheet with their masks to help hold the shape of the sheet. It can come in handy with sheets that are very delicate or thin, to keep them from being stretched out or torn in the process of taking them out of the packet or unfolding them.
You solved that mystery for me @itsfi , I've tried different flavors of that sheet mask by the same brand, and they didn't have them so I was getting curious , thank you!
Wow one mask for $17 yikes!! But they are fun to at least try, I'm glad you found a good alternative for cheaper! @CynthieLu
Thinking on it, I think i was wrong and the single use jelly mask was 14 but still alot for one go @lmaster
Hey there maskers! ๐๐ผ Some of you may know already, but our fellow masker and photographer extraordinaire @Samtian hosts a fun photography challenge on BIC, with different monthly themes.
Photography has been something Iโve been wanting to get into for the longest time and her challenges have provided opportunities to delve into that interest more. Itโs awesome seeing the creative and beautiful compositions folks put together. Iโve been learning a lot.
The theme for September is โฆ
wait for it โฆ
โฆ sheet masks! โฅ๏ธ
If youโre interested, I highly recommend checking out the thread. Join in with a pic or two of your own, if and as you are inclined! Iโll leave a link to the thread below. The monthly theme and rules/guidelines for the challenge in the original post.
Thank you Samtian! ๐
There's some beautiful photos in there @itsfi
That's a fun theme ๐ ๐ธ right now
Might have to test my photography skills lol
@CynthieLu, super fun theme this month! Had to share; it looked like something the folks here might be interested in.
@itsfi this is a good brand. They have many good bulk sheet masks.
@itsfi Wow what a cool mask and lovely tiara, this is such a beautiful photo ๐ It sounds like this mask worked out really well, where do you buy this? I feel like the packaging is so eye-catching that I'm fairly certain I've never seen it before anywhere. Also, maybe I'm a bit royal obsessed but the packaging reminded me of Diana's famous blue sapphire jewelry. It's super coincidental that you used this mask a few days before the death of Queen Elizabeth, while I scrolled past I initially thought someone theme-d it due to that pretty large historical event but in all reality you posted it way before and that would be a super weird theme to include in this thread in general (lol, what was I thinking?) ๐คฃ
@QueenMarceline, thank you! Photography has been something I've been interested in, a side hobby at the moment; so it's nice to hear. The mask, crown and lighting did the heavy lifting. I had planned to use this mask earlier in the year but got sidetracked for one reason or another; all coincidental with the timing of my using the mask and posting about it and real life circumstances.
Sorry for the delayed response about the product availability - I was trying to find a source for the mask. I picked this one up at a small, local boutique that carries a variety of Japanese and Korean beauty products, mainly skincare and hair care. These usually come in a pack of 5 but the store every once in a while will put these out for individual sale. The location I went to didn't have any when I was last in the shopping plaza, but they get new shipments of products every month. I did find these masks on the Stylevana site. If you've never ordered from that site, there are a few things to be aware of: (1) check availability of the listed product - they're good about listing the inventory they have available, but it's helpful to check the info under that inventory status - for estimate on when the product is likely to ship (e.g., within 24 hours, 7-14 working days, within 30 working days, etc.); (2) your order will ship when ALL items are ready and available so if you have items with different availability, the longest processing time is the earliest it will ship; and 3) the listed processing times, particularly the longer ones, are rough estimates and have been known to take longer than listed so if there's something you need immediately, this may not be the best source.
The mask sounds like it'd be too much for my oily skin but your picture is great!
@nuinui933. thank you for your kind words! This one could work if you wring out some essence before applying the sheet mask. I get that might be more work than it's worth and if that's the case, there are a couple of other masks from this line that may be better suited for your skin type - there's one with red packaging that holds less essence in the mask and the packet but is still hydrating. I also saw one with black packaging that is meant to address pore care and if I'm remembering right, sebum control, as well, which is one you may like.
