[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💗

@CynthieLu, red wine contains resveratrol which has been said to boost antioxidant levels and neutralize free radicals; it helps to boost the skin’s barrier to make it better equipped to ward off things like UV damage. It’s also been said to make skin more firm and supple. Red wine is more marketable friendly. I get it - I’d pick up a sheet mask marketed as a red wine mask 🍷 than a resveratrol mask. 😆 Though I’d more than likely just go with a bottle of red wine and pick any sheet mask out of my stash to pair it with. 🤣 Maybe just me??? Hahaha! 

Lapcos, SooAE, Naisture, and Dermal, along with TonyMoly as @Cissy63 mentioned make red wine sheet masks. Holika Holika makes a red wine (and a white wine) sleeping mask that is packaged in a jar shaped and designed like a wine barrel. Red wine was a popular skincare ingredient in the Kbeauty space a few years back. @lmaster 

[Cissy63]

@CynthieLu  I believe Tony Moly makes a Red Wine sheet mask!

[lmaster]

@CynthieLu I think this might be the second brand I've seen, the results were nice, the scent mehhhhh 

[Kim888]

Well what’s a brunch without some booze @lmaster ! it’s always so weird when masks smell like wine ! Glad to hear it worked well for you!

[lmaster]

It did smell like wine, it wasn't the best scent, thankfully I couldn't smell it when it was on 😃 @Kim888

Pancakes and Bananas for Breakfast 

Spoiler

First up the gudetama face pack.

scent: sadly not pancakes haha. It was just a generic mask scent 

fit: it was long and narrow. The fabric was nice and soft though and it adhered well 

results: hydrating, not tacky. I would repurchase this - it’s a great filler mask.

Also tried the No:hj honey mask. A little confused since it’s a picture of a banana on the front 

scent: not like bananas or honey. It had an odd scent but I couldn’t put my finger on what. Something like old banana, but not. 

Fit: a bit large. Very smooth mask, serum was milky 

results: unmemorable. It was somewhat hydrating and not really tacky, but nothing I’d run out to buy again.

@Kim888, ahhh Gudetama! 💛 I love the print on the sheet of that mask. Definitely makes me want pancakes whenever I see the packaging too. 🥞 

[missy94612]

@Kim888 

The packaging on these are cute.

[Cissy63]

@Kim888  Oh why can’t the inside match the outside?!?!🤣🤣.  I am glad at least one turned out well 😀

[eshoe]

Ok that no:hj packaging has me asking all kinds of questions, @Kim888. Mainly, just why????🤣🤣🤣 

[Kim888]

Lol it is so weird @eshoe !

[quspork]

It's always fun to see Gudetama, but that banana mask packaging is cracking me up, @Kim888. Too bad it's performance was underwhelming. And really, there should be some pancake-scented sheet masks in the world. 

[Kim888]

@quspork @Yeah I totally picked the mask based on packaging alone lol

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Haha! Ok, so why does the banana have wings?🤔  So confusing, but so funny 🤣

Glad the Gudetama one turned out decent! A good maple scent would've been a nice touch though! 🥞

[CynthieLu]

That packaging on the banana mask thou 🤣 it's killing me

[lmaster]

@Kim888 at least one was decent, too bad there's no banana or honey scent on the second one 🙄

[sister13]

I would want the pancake and fresh banana scent too! Cute! @Kim888 

[sister13]

It’s been a while since I’ve done any masks with all holiday hullabaloo, lol. I felt like I needed some winter TLC, according to the challenge theme! 

I did the Kate Somerville Wrinkle Warrior mask for the first time on Saturday, and then on Sunday, felt like I could use some more hydration, so I used the fresh Rose Face Mask 3.3 oz/ 100 mL and a Hello Kitty Teatime mask, along with the Grande Cosmetics GrandePOUT Plumping Lip Mask .

As for the Kate Somerville, this was a cooling and super-silky texture pink gel. It did not dry completely, and when I rinsed it off, I felt like my skin was soothed and hydrated. 

The Fresh is a long time favorite when I need something soothing, hydrating, without actives. It has such a delicate, natural rose scent, which I love. The HK mask had a light scent, was a plush feeling mask, with lots of liquid. Not the greatest fit, you can see my kitty checking out the Hello Kitty, haha! 

I barely ever use lip masks, but this Grande lip mask was a sugar scrub formula and it my lips felt smooth and hydrated after using it. It didn’t taste bad, so it didn’t bother me to leave it on for a while. 

[Cissy63]

@sister13  Your self care was awesome!  Oh I love rose scented masks.  Thank you for your review.

[eshoe]

Your masking choices sound extra hydrating, @sister13! Many of the TCS masks tend not to have have the best fits, but make up for it in cuteness. 

Did the Grande lip scrub have a sweet, fruity scent to it? I sampled one awhile ago and it had the best scent, but I found it odd to have a plumping scrub. 

[sister13]

I remember it being sweet and I liked it! I see what you mean about a plumping scrub but maybe it plumps but hydrating, I did feel it was hydrating! @eshoe
