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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
C is for Coconut

@lmaster I need to try more of these out too! I tried mine for 5 minutes, because I was super curious to see if anything could happen in that short amount of time, but when I buy more, I'll definitely be wearing them loner! Glad this one was t least decent for you! Which other ones did you pick up? I really want try the Spirulina one! ๐
@Shosh85 I ordered watermelon, coconut, matcha, lychee and Grapefruit,,, but I'm going to get the other two today with the points offer ๐
That sounds like a good deal, @lmaster ๐๐ผ๐
I sure hope they do that deal @eshoe Sephora used to with the old version, I believe
@lmaster Haha. I would also have definitely worn it longer than 5 minutes if it's $5.50. I agree that a sampler pack (at discount) would be perfect!
@PrettyPaint @lmaster Yes a "Collect Em All" trial set with the different varieties at a discount would intrigue me!
Yes yes!! @ShortErica @PrettyPaint
@PrettyPaint with the old versions they did have a deal, so I'm hoping Sephora will do the same for these new ones sooner than later ๐
Masking Hacks! I feel like I've learned so much on BIC. Here are the hacks I use and mostly don't know who to credit:
I'm sure there are plenty of others I've learned here but onto the masks. I went with some Yadah for the "Y."
Next up I went with the Revitalizing which was sent to me by the lovely @missjeanie (she also spoiled me with the Soothing one - gotta catch em all ๐ )
So although my plan was the 3 Yadah jelly masks for the weeks I took a diversion. My neck was killing me. I think it is the whole working from home and not having a defined work space and my head is always at weird angles when I'm on my laptop. Anyway, thank goodness for @keana1 sending me the Lise Waiter Spa Stress-Relief Patch
Curiosity got the better of me and I again, put the 3rd jelly mask aside to retry another style of Yadah mask to jog my memory. Although I may have bought myself a box, this particular Yadah Collagen Mask pack was sent to me by @emaisgr8. You can never have enough snail in your life and I appreciate having another to use. ๐
I could have worn the last jelly, Soothing over the weekend and thought that would be great after being in the sun. But nope, the weekend got away for me. So yesterday (Monday), I snuck in this final Y mask after doing pore care.
@ShortErica Jelly masks are so perfect for the summer! If I remember right, I think the brightening was my favorite of the 3. Have you tried all 3 before? If so, which was your favorite?
The Lise Watier patch sounds relaxing! Definitely something I could see myself buying in bulk ๐๐
I did a jelly comparison of the Yadah last year around this time too (that's at least what my notes tell me ๐) @Shosh85 I think Brightening eeks out Soothing by results though I appreciate the more mild scent of the Soothing one.
@ShortEricaI really, really enjoyed the Lise Watiers Spa masks that @keana1 sent me. They were soothing and for pretty much anywhere; shoulders, neck, dรฉcolletage. Thank you for the run-down on all of the goodies!
As far as I know, @ShortErica, they are. J I be seen them in CA hauls but not in the US ones๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
@ShortErica That Lise Waiter Spa Stress-Relief Patch looks really nice. I don't think I've seen that around before. I agree that working from home has not been too friendly on the neck.
And those Yadah jelly masks are so much fun. I feel like I haven't tried the soothing before, but glad it sounds like a good one too!
Do you have a favorite pair of spa scissors to trim masks?
@PrettyPaint I want to say in high school, about every Christmas I'd get a little kit with nail clippers and scissors and all that jazz. So I have one in a bunch of locations including under my sink. I have no idea if they even have a brand. I also use my wonderful pointy friskers from when I was in elementary school sometimes too.
@ShortErica My kids better watch out, then, because I may steal their scissors next time I need to cut a mask. I am actually tempted now to try fiskars/kid scissors because I sometimes get a little nervous cutting a mask that's already on my face.
Give it a go @PrettyPaint. They definitely have a more rounded tip nowadays than mine do which is more inviting.
oh so many masking memories @ShortErica ! I remember trying a jelly mask for the first time and was in awe of this magic goo! lol. You've convinced me to grab a sheet mask for post shower today!
I'll have to go look and see what you picked @missjeanie ๐
