💕😌 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💗

[Weetart]

That is a great idea! @WinglessOne I use plan ole cheap hair cutting ones but I just make slits and over lap sections just like I do when I see. Don’t actually cut pieces off.

[Weetart]

B is for Blueberry and bouncy. I’ve used this mask before but was super duper stoked when I saw it in the motm box. Love this mask. My skin is combo, can break out easy, but really dry at the same time. So it’s a delicate balance to get the products right so I don’t turn into a burnt redhead with a galaxy of freaks or acne worse than when I was as a teenager. This though, calming, no bad reaction and my skin soaks up all the hydration. It’s da bomb yo.

[eshoe]

Farmskin makes some great masks, @Weetart - glad you enjoyed this one 🙂

[lmaster]

Oh yes @Weetart this line of masks are excellent

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  I really like all the Farmskin masks I've tried, but this is one of my favorites! Glad to hear you enjoyed it too! 😃

[WinglessOne]

@Weetart  I love the Farmskin sheet masks! The blueberry one is a goodie. I'm glad it works well for you! 

[Weetart]

@WinglessOne they are the absolute bomb! My skin just soaks these puppies up. Made for quite a smaller nose than mine, but that isn’t unusual. Whatever, enough serum to get all over. My only beef is the burn when it gets into the eye holes. Like seriously, THE BURN. Need to have cotton balls handy. Or maybe put cotton squares over my eyes before mask application.

B is for BioBelle, Briogeo, and babyfacial.

 I absolutely loved the BioBelle after party mask. It had a nice light berry scent, the fit was great, and there was lots of serum. I left it on for 20 minutes. There was enough serum left to massage in to my arms, neck, and chest. It was a bit tacky at first. My face definitely looked brighter and felt so hydrated. I definitely plan on repurchasing. A+. I really wish they would bring back the Briogeo honey mask because it is my favorite. I ran out of DE Lala so I’ve been mixing the F-Balm with my babyfacial and it has worked out well. Especially since it’s not the best overnight mask I’m glad I found another use for it.

[ShortErica]

Great job repurposing a product @faeriegirl. I always hate wasting so it's awesome you found a better use for it. I've been hoarding my bear. Partially it was packed during the move but part of me keeps waiting for a special reason to have a bear in the shower. Haha!

[eshoe]

Wow nice masking line-up, @faeriegirl! I didn’t realize the Briogeo was LE, hopefully a little goes a long way.

[faeriegirl]

It does @eshoe . I  asked on Instagram and they said they might be bringing it back🤞

[quspork]

The Afterparty mask was definitely a nice one, @faeriegirl!

[lmaster]

@faeriegirl how long do you leave the fbalm and baby facial on for?

[faeriegirl]

@lmaster  Usually for 15 to 20 minutes.

[lmaster]

Perfect 👍 @faeriegirl I think I'm going to try that too 😆

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  Happy to hear you loved the mask! Their original masks are my favorite! I really hope they're not really gone for good, but it's looking that way 😢

That's great that you found a new

use for F-balm!

[Weetart]

@faeriegirl I still squeal in delight seeing the cute bear packaging.

[WinglessOne]

@faeriegirl  Yay, I'm glad you loved Afterparty! This is one Biobelle shouldn't have discontinued—assuming they're not bringing it back... eh, I could be wrong about that, but I don't like the direction their masks are apparently headed (key ingredients at the tail end of ingredients lists, fragrance listed higher up, less impressive sheet material). So I hope to see this one re-released someday without a major formulation shuffle. 

Also glad you found another use for F-Balm. I'm using it now that temps are high, but once the weather chills, I'll have to shelve F-Balm again.

@faeriegirl  Wow such a great masking sesh!!

B is for blueberries. Frudia blueberry hydrating mask

 

Spoiler

This morning I used Frudia blueberry hydrating mask along with my huckleberry lip balm and huckleberry candle gifted to me by the sweet  @eshoe . I’ve used this mask several times. This time it left my skin a little tacky. It does hydrate well though. My candle and lip balm smell so yummy. 

[ShortErica]

The blueberry was my favorite of the Frudia @emaisgr8. I had a slight tackiness with mine when I used it. @eshoe is likely onto something with the weather. Your pairing looks so good!
