💕😌 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💗

Thanks @CynthieLu.  When I purchased I really didn’t know each half had a separate purpose.  I went with the 111Skin brand name since I had really good results with their serums.  But it’s a really good idea!

[QueenMarceline]

@Cissy63 What a unique mask, black diamond now that sure does fit the theme of "makes you feel like royalty masks". Thank you for sharing your lovely review with the community 🙂 ❤️ 

This mask seems to have worked out quite well for you and given you some pretty great results, sounds like a keeper! 

[Cissy63]

Yes @QueenMarceline this was a “sleeper “.  I didn’t see all the benefits until the next day!!  

[QueenMarceline]

@Cissy63 In my experience, most masks are sleepers for me. 🙂

This week's theme : Luxe Masks that make you feel like Royality 👑 

ENTER Elisabeth Arden Prevage City Smart Double Action Detox Peel Off Mask

💎 

That was a mouth full 😅 no letters of the month here but it's sooo luxe I don't use it often, this mask is up there on the pricey side so it's my fancy time mask.

This mask went on clear and sticky. *an avoid your eyebrows and hair line mask for sure* This is a dry and peel off mask, so I avoided my eye area entirely. My skin around my eyes is too fragile for tugging and pulling 😋
A thin layer and this dried completely in about 15 minutes.
If you use a mask brush with bristles, I'd say skip it for this one.  Too sticky.
I like the sensation of peel off masks but they are too much for my sensitive skin so I was very careful and gentle when I took it off.  The left overs took awhile to wash away with warm water, it really wanted to stay on my skin. 
No big scent and no big wow factor either. Myself  I would not buy this one,  if they charge this much for a mask I would expect **wow!** results. My skin is smooth and bright after but not that much more really. 
I was lucky and received this as a gift with purchase at the beauty counter. Because of the brand and the price tag this mask makes me feel like fancy Royalty 🦄 👑 

Just laughing a bit.  This was my first time using the spoiler text thing ha! I don't know how to fix it but it's 3 deep 🤣

[lmaster]

@CynthieLu doesn't sound like it held up to royalty standards, at least you know!

[quspork]

Definitely agree with you, @CynthieLu, at a certain price point I want to be WOWed by a mask, not just have an ok experience. But it's great that you got to try it out! 

[CynthieLu]

Exactly how I feel too @quspork 😉

[missy94612]

@CynthieLu 

We all need a fancy time mask. Love it.

[QueenMarceline]

@CynthieLu Haha, I for one love your Russian Nesting Doll spoiler tag. ❤️  I have not heard of this mask yet so I always love to see reviews of unknown (to me) masks on this thread. 🙂 I usually don't do well with peel-off masks myself and definitely agree with you that for a higher end price higher end results are to be expected. 

[CynthieLu]

@QueenMarceline exactly, for a greater amount of my money my expectations rise as well 

Lol Russian doll 🤣

[QueenMarceline]

@CynthieLu Hahah, that's what it reminded me of. 🤣 I actually have a few peel-off masks from that Freeman set that I bought but I was too nervous to try them since peel-offs have always gone very south for me. Maybe sometime soon I'll have to give them a shot. 

[CynthieLu]

I hope they are nice peel off's @QueenMarceline , if you don't find it going well it's just a warm water wash off 😉

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, the Prevage line is a popular one for EA. Good call on avoiding your eye area; I’m always scared with peel off masks that it’ll pull out some brow hairs that I’d prefer stay in place. 😂 Smooth, brighter skin is always a plus! How often do you use this mask? Once a month? More than that? Less?

No worries on the spoilers - it happens even when it’s not the first time using them. 😆 It just adds suspense this way. 😉 You have a L for luxe for this mask so you do hit one of the letters of the month. Woohoo! 🙌🏼 

It’s nice to have a fancy time mask because in my mind, we’re all royalty here. 👑 

[CynthieLu]

I have used this mask three times, and compared to ones that give me astounding results I just don't often feel the urge to give this one a go again. 

I try to mask once a week, twice if I'm having skin troubles. So I reach for my favs more than this one.

I love some of EA"s lineup. The Prevage City Smart Sunscreen or Superstar serum I love ❤️ 😍 Others don't love me lol (the Prevage face wash was a resounding No) 

I enjoy the fun of peel off masks (except near my eyes 👀) and that's the fun part of this one for me. Well and cause it made me feel fancy 😋 

Agree 100 percent, everyone here is royal 💎 🦄 💕

So I haven’t tried any of these multi pack situations but I thought this looked interesting. I’m not sure if the 45 was supposed to stand for an age or what, but oh well. It said hydrating and anti aging so I thought that would be good. 

It was easy to separate one mask without touching the others and the mask itself is a fairly soft cotton. Fit was a bit large but fine. The scent was kind of like ceravee. It wasn’t as saturated as I like, but it didn’t dry out after 15 minutes either. 

My skin did feel hydrated though a little tacky. Overall, Nothing special but at basically $1 a mask I feel like it did a solid job and I like the idea of wasting less packaging 

 

[minathayes]

@Kim888  is the serum milky or watery?

[Kim888]

@minathayes @I would say more milky - it’s not super saturated though 

[lmaster]

@Kim888 I do like the multi pack packaging, I have a pack of these to use, but I know once I open them,,, I'll probably forget about it, so I've not touched them yet 🤣

[quspork]

Less packaging is definitely a plus, @Kim888.

[QueenMarceline]

@Kim888 This one seems fairly solid, especially for the dollar price tag. Love to see it! I don't think I've ever seen or heard of this brand yet, so thank you so much for sharing your review. 🙂
