NEW!!! Got an idea for next year's challenge? Let me know! Was there a challenge you'd rather not repeat? Share below, so we can start building the 2021 schedule:
@eshoe Oh, so fun! Sounds like south a great masking session and I'm so happy everyone is having fun with the Bat masks! I haven't got around to trying out The Little Witch mask yet, but I'm even more excited to now that I know it has a grape-y scent! I'm so glad you enjoyed everything! ๐ฆ๐
I loved the little bat mask, @Shosh85, thanks again for sending it my way! I will be curious to hear what scent you pick up on with the Candy OโLady one. It was the fruitiest of the three Iโve tried so far:)
Yep the bat was a fun one, Wish Formulaโs masks have been good so far @lmaster.
The little witch mask was not from me. @eshoe
But glad you liked your masking session! The bat mask is so much fun.
Thank you @l8totheparty - I believe it was @quspork, ahhh! I appreciate the heads up:)
Bat Mask with Rose Petals!!!
Thanks so much @faeriegirl for sharing the bat mask with me. It was so much fun to wear, and I enjoyed scaring people. I really enjoyed the fit as well. I'm curious to see if there are other masks that cover this general area because it was very comfortable to wear.
I decided to add on some "R" stuff to the bat mask to cover the rest of my face, so I used the Kocostar Rose Slice Mask Sheet gifted to me by @itsfi. Thank you again for this! It was a lovely one - it looked just like rose petals (and smelled like them too).
Sorry this is picture heavy. I also added a photo of the bat mask and rose petals combined because I liked the romantic, gothic look I had going on (at least that's how I felt).
I like the romantic gothic look you had too @PrettyPaint ! I wish I'd thought of it!
Hehe @missjeanie. Glad you liked it. I didn't know if I was being too silly or what, but I had fun! ๐
@PrettyPaint Looks like such a wonderful masking session! The combo of those masks together is soo pretty! You gave me an idea... it would be fun (especially for Halloween) to use the pumpkin slices with the Bat mask! I'll have to remember that for next year ๐ I'm happy to hear you enjoyed these! ๐๐๐น๐ฆ
That is a great idea @Shosh85. Have you tried the pumpkin slices before? That sounds really yummy!!
Awww thanks @lmaster. The rose petals kind of reminded me of a nighttime scene with a red lunar eclipse...and a bat.
Ooooo twilight!! @PrettyPaint with Edward ๐๐
Fab and fun combo of masks @PrettyPaint! Your use of the rose slice masks spurred me to use them last night. I do love the scent from the rose slices! ๐น
There are other masks out there that cover the apple zone, like the bat mask. Too Cool For School makes one shaped like a butterfly.
@itsfi Mmm yes, I thought the rose slices smelled so nice. It wasn't overwhelming to me or anything - just a pleasant amount.
Thanks for the tip about the TCFS mask. It looks like it's called the "rules apple zone butterfly mask." I think I read on here earlier where you mentioned that this area is called the apple zone (which I didn't know), but this is definitely an area of the face that I need to target!!
Ha steam punk masking, who knew @PrettyPaint ๐ Actually, sorry if thatโs not on par, just the black and the roses kinda struck me as that๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Looks and sounds like some masks helped soothe your skin and thatโs what itโs all about!
@eshoe Ahhhh steampunk is the perfect way to describe it. I hadn't thought of that!
Iโm glad you enjoyed the bat mask @PrettyPaint!
Thank you again so much for sharing it with me @faeriegirl!!! I had a great time trying it! ๐
"R" is for Really love the mask duel and being a part of this group!
Competing are Origins Hello Calm & Kiehl's Calendula & Aloe. Both are soothing/calming masks, but competitively I was testing moisture. I waited 48hrs and found the not so wonderful scented "Hello Calm" kept my skin moisturized
into the second day. I really like this mask because of how it makes my skin look from previous usage.
Although, I love the Kiehl's Calendula collection, I probably will not purchase a
full size of the mask. It offers excellent hydration & is a wonderful gel mask; great
for warm temps, but I don't really need added moisture in the Summer.
Winner: Origins Hello Calm for moisturization.
