💕😌 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 💮

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💗

@CynthieLu  It was more of a sweet scent less pumpkin but pleasant! 

[Shosh85]

@ather  Oh my gosh, so fun! 👽 The Crème Shop makes some cute character masks! Glad these turn out nice! 

[ather]

@Shosh85  Definitely did. The fit was super off but I find TCS always are off. 

[itsfi]

Your spooky themed masking sesh is perfect @ather  - a little TLC for the face and foot. Ahhhh! 😃 Keeping my fingers crossed for you with face mask. Curious to know, did these masks have designs / illustrations on them? 

[ather]

@itsfi  Yes they did!! 

 I didn’t take a pic of the foot mask but I have more so I will!! 

[CynthieLu]

That's too fun! @ather 🤩👽

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I know right!

[itsfi]

That’s so cute @ather! 😍

[CookieGirl1]

That Hello Kitty mask looks too cute, @ather.

[ather]

@CookieGirl1  Super cute!! 

[itsfi]

Hello, Clarice! 

Trick or Treat, maskers? 

Spoiler

For those who are not fans of the traditional wet sheet masks, we have Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask 1 mask. Used on clean dry skin, this mask has two sets of ear loops, one at the sides of the sheet and one coming from the part meant to cover your chin, presumably for that lifting effect.

This is a throwback mask for me, having used it here around the time CT launched this mask. This time around it feels less tight all around and I wonder if the brand redesigned it to be roomier. Similar to my feelings back then, I'm not sure whether this mask does anything from a skincare perspective, but it is practical - it can double up as a backup Halloween costume. I'll be ready for this year's trick-or-treaters, but will they be ready for me?

@itsfi 

LMAO, this is hilarious! 

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, creepy and funny at the same time. 😂 

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh my gosh!! This is fabulous so creative!! Low key love that movie!!

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it’s a classic. 🎥 I realized that there’s probably a generation that has never seen it. What a shame! It’s got some creepy moments that still give me the heebie jeebies  when I think about it or see it, but it is definitely a film to see. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh it is in a league of it's own!! 

[Cissy63]

Holy cow @itsfi , this is scary looking😲.  I don’t think it’s a great idea for the consumer to wonder if it’s really doing anything.  But CT would have put something in it that’s good, wouldn’t she??

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, the product page says that the mask inlcudes "vitamins, floral extracts, peptides, oils and butters" which makes me think it's intended for keeping skin hydrated and moisturized as well as providing some anti-aging benefits. My skin felt soft afterwards and like there was something that transferred onto the surface of my skin, but I wouldn't say it felt hydrating or moisturized like it does after a sheet mask. 

It's not a mask that gives someone the warm fuzzies when they see you in it. 🤣 It's definitely got that Hannibel Lecter, Jason, Freddy horror movie vibe to it.

[missy94612]

@itsfi 

LOL. My husband wants to try this mask, just to look scary.

[itsfi]

Hahaha @missy94612! That he will; that he will. 😆 

[ather]

@itsfi  Perfect Halloween mask!!! I haven’t tried this one. But if you don’t think it has any skincare benefits but plus side it looks cool!! Did you get many trick or treaters?
