💕😌 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💗

This is amazing i think it’s a great idea to watch something during mask time i always stare at the clock haha these seem like great and relaxing choices! ❤️ @ather 

[ather]

@peculiarzmakeup  aww thanks! 😊 I sometimes mask more face mask when I am in the bath. And I usually have a movie on to keep me more busy. Sometimes I do just lay on the couch or in my bed and mask too! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

That sounds so relaxing! I’ve never done a hand or foot mask I need to try one this year! So funny we are in a new year I can say this year haha @ather  are there any you really like that you started out with? ❤️

[ather]

@peculiarzmakeup  Never oh my! You need to try them! I actually gifted a hand and a foot a face and an eye mask to a friend who has been struggling in motherhood and who never takes time for herself. And I’m not sure if she’s used them before but the night she used the foot mask she seemed so happy. You definitely need to try! 

My favs are SEPHORA COLLECTION Nourishing Foot Mask in Coconut + Lavender Coconut they normally have a Christmas one and I pick up multiple during the sales. And I like their SEPHORA COLLECTION Mango Holiday Hand Mask also. My husband also loves to mask with us! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Aww that is so fun! You are so sweet! Thank you for the recommendations this is definatley gonna be a goal of mine I have the 54 Thrones African Beauty Butter Mini Gift Set  which would be perfect after masking. That’s so fun to have people to do that with! These are awesome suggestions I’m on it ❤️❤️ @ather

@ather  What could be better than vacation and masking?! Sounds like you had a great time! Glad to hear these masks worked out so well for you! 😃

[ather]

@Shosh85  Thank you! 😊 I seem to mask more on vacation. Maybe because I’m more relaxed and make time? I use to be good at home but I’m not masking as much as I use to. 

[Shosh85]

@ather  Sounds like you need to go vacation more often 😉

[ather]

@Shosh85  Hmmm good point. I just need to figure out how to vacation more and still work! 

[Shosh85]

Haha! @ather  Well, when you figure that out, let me know 😂😜

[Samtian]

@ather Vacation sounds amazing. Glad most of them were winners! That's a good idea to get those masks during the sale! Hope I remember that next time it comes around. 

[ather]

@Samtian  thanks!! 😊 I hope I remember too! I mean spring sale isn’t that far off! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

 These are Tony Moly masks from Ulta 

my experience was amazing with the eye patches it really lifted and rejuvenated my eyes 

the face masks were a little bit too wet I had to squeeze them out before application but they were super refreshing 

I really enjoyed giving these a try they were helpful I did see improvement using the eye patches especially 

❤️

[lmaster]

[peculiarzmakeup]

Well, I feel like this thread hasn't got too much attention lately.... but here I go anyway... 🤷🏻

Miss Spa Chocolate Self-Heating Clay Mask

  
  This is a thick and goopy clay mask that is brown in color and looks like chocolate frosting or pudding. The scent is super delicious- it smells like chocolate batter! Sooo good! It was a little challenging trying to squeeze it out because of how thick it was.

   Once I got it on my face and started spreading it around I could feel a gentle warming effect that was quite soothing, especially considering how cold it's been lately. It's not as intense as the Farmacy Honey Potion mask, but still very nice. The warming also helped the mask spread better - kinda like melting chocolate.😍 The mask never hardened and it was comfortable on my face the entire time.

   After about 30 minutes I removed it with a warm washcloth and it came off easy. My face was a little brighter and felt SOO soft and smooth. My skin was slightly dry (this happens with most wash off/clay masks,) but nothing that made me feel like running to the moisturizer immediately.

   I haven't been too impressed with this brand, in fact, this is probably the only I've liked! I've repurchased this one several times already, because the scent alone is worth it to me! Unfortunately, after I use the last one in my stash I won't be able to repurchase more, because it's discontinued now. It's my favorite from the brand, so of course it's discontinued now. ☹️

[lmaster]

Of course it's discontinued  @Shosh85 wouldn't want too much chocolate to ruin our skin!!! 😩
