💕😌 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!

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?

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💗

I know but it really was so good, it didn't matter @itsfi 

[lmaster]

 

• This was a two piece hydrogel mask
• It was actually really easy to wear and didn't slip around
• I didn't notice any specific scent
• What I did notice was that the mask didn't seem to have much serum on it
• After wearing it for 15 minutes, I removed it and my skin literally felt dry as if there was nothing going on here
• I did take some of the creamy serum from the package and applied it without the mask
• If I used this again, I would definitely apply the serum to my face first and then lay the hydrogel mask on top

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I like the sound of a creamy serum! Definitely sounds like the type of mask where you need manually apply the serum from the package!

[lmaster]

I mean the serum definitely didn't stay on the mask lol @Shosh85 I think this is a first for me 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I wonder if it would've helped to put some directly on your skin first, then place the mask on top? I've had to do this with certain masks before. 🤔🤷‍

[lmaster]

Yep that's exactly what I thought after the fact, I didn't realize it didn't have any serum on the mask, until after I took it off 😔 @Shosh85 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I like the sound of this having a creamy serum to it. 

[lmaster]

I wish the mask actually had serum on it though, it didn't seem like it adhered well to it @itsfi 

[Shosh85]

I haven't been doing a whole lot of masking lately, and wasn't planning on buying these, but cookies and hot cocoa pulled me in 🍪😉

Hot Cocoa 👇

Spoiler

Que Bella Revitalizing Hot Cocoa Mud Mask

Texture:

Thick and creamy, sort of a body cream kind of consistency.

Scent:

Sweet almond oil was what stood out the most. I was hoping for more of a chocolaty/cocoa scent, but it still smelled pretty great to me.

Wear Time:

About 20 minutes. It didn't really dry down - it stayed pretty soft and comfortable.

Tack:

None

Results:

Soft and smooth skin that was noticeably brighter. My skin was a little dry, (which I expect with mud masks) but not overly so.

Repurchase?

Great results at a great price, so I probably would. 😃

Cookie 👇

Spoiler

Que Bella Nourishing Cookie Cream Mask

Texture:

Soft, thick and creamy, though not quite as thick as the mud mask it came with.

Scent:

Like a combo of cocoa and almond oil. Delicious 😋

Wear Time:

About a half hour

Tack:

None

Results:

I did this one directly after washing off the mud mask that came with it and it did make my face feel slightly less drier, but that's really about it.

Repurchase?

By its self? No. But because it comes with the mud mask, (and it's cheap) I probably would. It was fine and smelled delicious, but it just didn't do much.

[eshoe]

Oooooh the hot cocoa side of this,😍 @Shosh85 Happy to hear this made it worthwhile for you! Miss you, also!!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yup, the cocoa side was definitely my favorite, and both sides smelled yummy, so that's a win in my book! 👍

[eshoe]

Awwww @Shosh85 💗😊

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I knew you would deliver!! 🤣 These look flipping scrumptious 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Ha ha ha! You crack me up!😂  They both were definitely delicious! 😋

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, cookie and hot cocoa sound like a delicious duo for the tummy 😋 and now with this mask pack, the face. There are some fun sheet masks that come out during the holidays. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yeah, the food related masks always lure me in! 😅😋🍪

[lmaster]

 

This is a fantastic mask I believe @Shosh85 showcased this beauty, miss you sweet friend!!

• The sheet on this one fits so good
• Extra serum in the pack
• The scent of 🍌 banana is fabulous
• Wear time was 20 minutes
• My skin absorbed this serum fully
• No lasting tackiness
• Soft hydrated and moisturizer skin for the win 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it’s nice to have a banana scented mask to go for that also works, especially since the other ones which were great have been discontinued. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I know it's like anything we really like gets discontinued... Looking at you pixie and bliss bubble masks 🤯

[Shosh85]

Hey friend! @lmaster  Yup, I love this one! ...... and it's only $1.50 at Ulta right now! 👌😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 🤗💋❤️ I hope you are going good!!! Thank you for the info!! Can't have enough delicious banana scent
