💕😌 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 💮

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💗

Thank you @lmaster ☺️

So I did use it last night, and do you know, that mask just refused to bubble up! It was the first time I had that happen, too. I checked the expiration date and it was well within the time frame (exp in 2024). Just because of that, I did not worry about washing it off, but how weird.

[lmaster]

That's so interesting!! Well, you tried and I agree you @eshoe 

[CynthieLu]

I have never used this one, but when masks don't have clear instructions 🤪 that's tough right?

That's a hard guessing game @lmaster 

I checked online and one site , Stylvana, had a How To Use Tab, to expand on this one. It says after to pat it in and not rinse, but if every other bubble mask you've used is rinse off I'd still be hesitant ‌😅‌

[lmaster]

@CynthieLu yeah I felt so uneasy leaving it on 😂 my instinct said nope

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster I've only used one bubble mask and it was utterly unimpressive.  Have you used any that REALLY bubbled?

[lmaster]

Yes, as a matter of fact, the ones I've used bubble so much they usually get in my mouth or eyes @CookieGirl1 😬

To help with my tired, dry undereyes: the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks.  Gosh, these felt amazing a couple of nights ago!  They unfortunately slip around a bit so it's hard to actively work on something else while wearing them but I applied them right before bed and let them work their magic while I read for a few minutes in bed before going to sleep and it was SO relaxing.

[Shosh85]

@CookieGirl1  So happy to hear you liked these! I got some in a subscription once and really loved them too! 😃

[CookieGirl1]

@Shosh85 I actually have a box of the regular Baggage Claim eye masks (not sure if they're really different from the gold masks or not) that a friend gave me awhile back and I haven't even opened them yet!  After trying this pair I'm convinced that I need to break into that box 😍.

@CookieGirl1  Sounds perfect! 

[Cissy63]

I absolutely love these eye masks @CookieGirl1 🌹 So glad you enjoy them too🌹

[CookieGirl1]

@Cissy63 I tend to forget about them because I have them stored away "for when I need them" and I need to get better about just taking them out and using them!

[eshoe]

Those are such pretty eye masks, @CookieGirl1. I hear ya about the slipping around, though. I find myself using eye masks in the morning while reading, it does help prevent them from traveling too far  😄

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Thats a good plan! Reading and eye masks. Think I'll do that tonight thanks!

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian I haven't been using my eye patches much recently and I should because  my eyes thank me when I take the time.

[lmaster]

Oh I liked those too, its been awhile since I've used them,, you know rotating through the stash @CookieGirl1 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster I hear ya.  I have a stack of them that are just waiting to be used but I go through them slowly.

[CynthieLu]

If only they stayed put, they'd be so much easier to wear @CookieGirl1 

I have a package of these I've been saving for a emergency ‌‌🙃‌‌ but I wish I could do things around the house while I wore them.

[Mellmars1185]

@CookieGirl1 Great call on putting the eye masks on while laying down and reading.

So for my Planet theme week I chose Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask 5 oz/ 148 mL    I love this mask. My skin glows for the next 2-3 days.  And the spicy scent puts me in a far off mood. I chose this because it reminds me of the color of Martian soil.  That red/orange color.  
Plus I love to find this planet in the night sky.  
I wander in thought to what it would be like to live there for awhile 🧐🧐

And another planet I like to find in the night sky is Jupiter.  That’s “my big boy”.  A swirling mass of gases.  But one of its moons is icy  with an ocean.  Europa is very cold  The mask by Cela is made with run off from a glacier.  It’s a thick grey mud mask.  It’s very cooling while on.  It helps to brighten and hydrate.   My skin likes it 

Both I have a lot remaining and would buy again 

The last is Keep Cool and Ocean Mask.   A sheet mask that fits well with some adjusting around the eyes.  It has a lot of milky essence.
And as it says it’s quite cooling to the face. This is good for summer.  It’s a hydration is very good.   I would buy again

If I could fly by Mars and Jupiter that would be so fantastic’😃😃

What a fun review, @Cissy63! That PTR mask gets a lot of love around here, no surprise that it is a hit for you, too 🙂
