💕😌 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💗

So much healthier than how I used banana yesterday @sonnydee Peanut Butter Banana Brownies - no wonder quarantine hasn't been good to the waistline!

[itsfi]

Love the cranberry pairing @sonnydee! ♥️ I really need to try this mask. I’ve set one aside only to forget about it or be distracted by something else. Interesting about the fit. I’ll keep the in mind when I reach for this one.

[sonnydee]

Found it again & others during my reorganizing @itsfi i would be very interested to see if the fit was different for you. This mask was the distraction for me 😀this time. My plan was for chia but teeni wanted mozzarella sticks so this was the winner 

[itsfi]

😂 hahaha, oh the benefits of reorganizing @sonnydee. I’ve had the chia mask set aside too, that one since last year - my skin likes that one. Oooh, mozzarella sticks. 😋 I haven’t had those in ages; good call by teeni! 😃 The nearest Sonic is about an hour away, on the way to wine country. 🍷 I’ll let you know how the masks fit. 

[eshoe]

Hmmm @sonnydee that makes me curious how much masks within a multipack differ. There are so few masks that are used more than 2-3 times for me. I wonder how similar our experiences are🤔

[sonnydee]

@eshoe @I'm hoping because I've tried other fusion masks & didn't have this issue- just a overall large mask. I plan to use the charcoal/ almond sometime this week so we shall see....�

[Weetart]

Yum!!! @sonnydee ! Perfect combo

[sonnydee]

Thanks @Weetart @ShortErica made me think of it & then teeni wanted some mozzarella sticks so plans for the night mask changed from chia to cranberry in honor of my slushie

Coffee and Chamomile for the middle of the week:

I wasn’t sure which wash off I would use tonight. I’ve been drawn to hydrating masks recently but noticed over the past few days that my skin has become somewhat sallow. Meaning, time to exfoliate. DE Babyfacial was an easy choice. Hoping it restores some brightness to my dull summer skin.

So excited to try the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine.🤞🏼for a good scent, and...oh wow. Coffee greets me and it lingers throughout my masking, even underneath my sheet mask. The little biocellulose (perfection) eye patches fit and adhere without a hitch. They have a light tan coloring and enough extra serum in the packet to pat-pat under my eyes before stashing it with my empties for the month. I’ve already added a few to my cart, 💗💗💗

The Célave Chamomile mask has a pleasant tea scent, which makes up for the somewhat clumsy fit. Plenty of serum on the mask itself, keeping the light/medium weight sheet doused during the 20 minutes or so I wore it. Bonus, the coffee scent was noticeable throughout!

Once the sheet mask was removed, the family decided on an impromptu trip to view Neowise outside of the city. I left the eye gels on, could have slept in them they were so comfy. No tackiness from the face mask, and once the eye patches were off, I checked out my skin in the car mirror. Of all the Sephora masks I’ve used (including my beloved Orchid eye mask) this one takes the cake. A special treat that I look forward to using again!

And the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Lip Balm & Scrub Peach has a true peach-y scent. A very soothing and enjoyable balm, another love 🍑 

[lmaster]

Ok if the scent is worth it @eshoe I'm going to have to try these eye masks

[eshoe]

Umm yes @lmaster but I don’t want to try any of the others because I’m afraid I will just be disappointed 😂

[quspork]

Sounds like a nice combo, @eshoe. You've got me thinking about adding the coffee eye patches to my cart now. 

[eshoe]

One is worth it, @quspork- it’s a great and possibly the best SC eye mask!

[itsfi]

The caffeine eye mask and peach lip balm will be popular choices. A lovely plus that they smell good too. Nice to see you picked them up @eshoe.

[eshoe]

Yep I’m guessing the same, @itsfi. They did a great job on both scents! 

[Weetart]

Oooooh I need to try these at some point. The coffee would be a perfect commute mask @eshoe

[eshoe]

Great suggestion, @Weetart! I could use one of these every morning just to wake up:)

[sonnydee]

might have to try this caffeine eye mask @eshoe

[eshoe]

Mmm might, maybe, yes for sure @sonnydee😉 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Sounds like a great masking session! I have the caffeine eye mask in my cart and I'm even more excited to try it now! So happy you enjoyed it! ☕️😃

[eshoe]

@Shosh85I think I first heard about the CS Cold Brew from you. Anytime I see/try a coffee mask, I compare it for scent, and this one is worth trying. This is one I wish came in a jar of 30 pairs😊
