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💗

This is one of BioBelle’s star sheet masks in my mind, @WinglessOne. ♥️ The ingredients list on this one is really quite extraordinary. 😍 It’s sad that their original lineup of sheet masks seems to be fading away. 😔

WinglessOne · ‎07-05-2020

@itsfi I keep hoping they'll re-release some of their golden oldies, though they'd probably use their newer type of sheet. And rebooted masks wouldn't be worth buying (to me) if Biobelle reformulated them with lower amounts of the best ingredients. Sigh...

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

@WinglessOne, the material on any new or updated version of their originals would be different as well. 😔 I would occasionally see their My Diary of Beauty Secrets set which had most if not all of their original masks, but the set seems to be out of stock everywhere for some time now, other than perhaps eBay. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll make the most of my stash of them.

itsfi · ‎07-04-2020

Slowly catching up on posting about some masks. This was from Y / B / Forgotten Wonders and checks all the themes from that week (though one may be a bit of a stretch - ha!), with a focus on peaches. 🍑

Peachy goodness!

Spoiler

Both these masks fall squarely within @missjeanie's forgotten wonders theme, though it's less that they are unloved and more that they, along with the peach version of the LANEIGE - Lip Glowy Balm, have just been simply forgotten (momentarily, at least) in a sea of masks and lip balms - surprising, I know. Hopefully that happens less frequently and with fewer masks and lip balms, as I whittle down the stash, slowly but surely.

Y is for yummy, as in the scent on these peach products, with the Formula 10.0.6 No Stress Zone Skin Defending Cream Mask Peach + Seaweed having the most prominent and lasting peach scent. The first time I used this mask I was a little apprehensive of the combination of peach and seaweed, with more concern over the seaweed ingredient - my skin doesn't always get on well with seaweed in skincare; it does fine, however, with this Formula 10.0.6 mask. The light, creaminess of this gel-cream feels refreshing, comforting and lightly hydrating on the skin. Having used it for it during a few seasons, I find that it works better on my dehydrated combo skin in the warmer months than it does in the winter when my skin leans more dehydrated-dry and then, this isn't hydrating enough on its own. I prefer using this one as an overnight mask over a 15-minute wash off, and I plan to use it as such as I work my way through using it up. Forgotten wonder, no more; at least for the time being. 😉

My "B" mask choice of the Berrisom Cocktail Recipe Mask Peach Crush was also inspired by @missjeanie, namely her creative pairings of masks and drinks. My refresher here though was limited to this soft, cotton sheet mask and the runny, slightly artificial peach scented, thin, gel-like essence that it is saturates it. Aside from the alcohol (4th ingredient listed) and added fragrance (last ingredient), the ingredients list in this mask is very nice (and something I'd love to have in an essence or serum), though I suspect volume-wise, many of these goodies are in small doses in this mask - extracts of peach (500 ppm), green tea, centella asiatica, licorice root, rosemary leaf, skullcap, blackberry, cranberry and elderberry; glycerin; and sodium hyaluronate. Results-wise, my skin felt lightly hydrated and looked and felt refreshed. This seems like it would be a nice one for normal, oily or combination skin and probably better suited for the warmer seasons.

@itsfi I love this picture!! It’s perfect!!

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

Aw, that’s so sweet of you to say @ather! 🥰 You’re always so kind. Thank you! 🤗

eshoe · ‎07-05-2020

@itsfi I am so happy to see this Berrisom reviewed. I almost bought it recently and decided to hold off. I think I might go back and try it, now. There are at least a couple of ‘flavors’ that look good:)

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

@eshoe, which “flavors” were you thinking about picking up? I’ve tried all but one and will likely get to it later this summer. Pina colada smells the best to me. 🍍🥥 💛🤍

eshoe · ‎07-05-2020

Aghhh I’ve been on too many sites this weekend, @itsfi! I know the Piña Colada one, and the peach🍑 for sure. I’m not a big fan of motijos, although I thought mint would be delicious and they are very pretty🤷🏻‍♀️

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

Hahaha @eshoe. 😆 There were a lot of sales this weekend. 🛍 Did you end up buying anything?

itsfi · ‎07-05-2020

@eshoe, I haven’t tried the mojito yet (or at least not that I remember), but it certainly sounds like it would be refreshing. I have used the Kahlua milk mask from the line; sadly, no coffee scent to it.

eshoe · ‎07-05-2020

Ha I guess it would be mojito then, oops @itsfi 😂

Would love to see a good coffee mask, I wonder what the best material would be. Something soft and comforting, I think.

Shosh85 · ‎07-04-2020

@itsfi Glad to hear you like the Formula 10.0.6 mask! I have that one and the Be Berry Fresh Mud Mask and both smell so great, (and even pair well together too!)

It's too bad these Berrisom masks have such high alcohol - sounds like it turned out decent enough! 👍

itsfi · ‎07-04-2020

@Shosh85, I was pleased to find how well the Formula 10.0.6 mask works and like that it’s very affordable. I think I may have the berry one. Yay! Alcohol in a sheet mask, like added fragrance and parabens, isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me, but I definitely don’t care for it being that high up on the ingredients list.

lmaster · ‎07-04-2020

@itsfi oohhhh I love that formula mask!!

itsfi · ‎07-04-2020

It’s so good @lmaster! ♥️ My skin really likes this in the spring and summer - it hydrates without being too heavy. 🍑

eshoe · ‎07-04-2020

Mahalo has minis of the Bean and Petal mask now! The Bean is 5ml, and the Petal is 15ml. @veronika23

Shosh85 · ‎07-04-2020

@eshoe I really liked both of these! Thanks for the heads up! 😃

eshoe · ‎07-04-2020

You’re welcome @Shosh85! Hope to hear about them if you decide to try one or the other;)

itsfi · ‎07-04-2020

@eshoe, gotta love the mini sizes! ♥️♥️ I sure do. 😉 I’ve been interested in this brand since @veronika23 introduced us to them. The petal mask is a nice one and the mini size is definitely easier to use up.

eshoe · ‎07-04-2020

@itsfi minis are the best, especially with a few masks in rotation. Nothing will go to waste🙌🏼
