💕😌 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💗

I love their Prism serum, it helps clear breakouts & prevent new ones- even around that special time of the month 😉 @Weetart I just need to use it consistently..I get lazy or am trying out new stuff so I have to limit myself on the products I use.

[Weetart]

Tonight I’m going for a C for the Creme shop. Roses are Red, Violets are blue. Ooh it smells lovely and is hydrating. And while these are off theme I’m using the good ole laneige lip mask and continuing to use up my “grape jelly” sleeping mask. Love it all. So relaxing and soothing.

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  I have this one and have been putting it off because my nose isn't a huge fan of floral scents - does it smell strong? Sounds like a nice one! 🌹

[Weetart]

@Shosh85 it does have a very strong rose scent. So if you are sensitive, I'd avoid it.

[lmaster]

@Weetart I bet that smelled good!

[Weetart]

Sure did @lmaster !

[Weetart]

C is for Clay. Shifting through my drawer of clay masks I found these old Sephora samples from a while back that I never tested. The are easy and soft to apply, have faint pleasant scent, I used all three kinds to suit the needs of my combo skin. Over all fairly pleasant. Not sure if they even sell them anymore. Easier to wash off than other clay masks and maybe a touch more moisturizing. Wish I tried the samples earlier.

[Shosh85]

@Weetart I wonder if these are going to be discontinued?🤔 It looks like the only one available is the green one and it's discounted to $3.

Glad you enjoyed it! It reminds me that I need to try mine too! 😃

[Weetart]

Not surprised... it seems like they discontinue their wash offs very quickly. @Shosh85

[PrettyTiger]

Good to know. I think I have 2 packs of those lying around somewhere and haven't tried them yet. I'll have to break them out. 

[Weetart]

Yeah I’m on a no buy and decided to get through my drawer of samples, at least do a couple of them a week. There are sooooo many. @PrettyTiger

C for Charcoal to Combat & Clear my skin & another one from The Creme Shop. Fit?Good. Surprisingly! from last night. Its also black, case you were wondering. 😉Good saturation, I left it on for 30 min & at that point it started drying out. Only a little extra in the pouch to pat a bit more on my face Smell? like lemonade. Maybe a hint of charcoal but mostly lemony. And pleasant not like cleaner. I love pine sol but wouldnt want that smell on my face Consistency?Clear, almost stickey but my face soaked up every thing in about 2 minutes flat - without tack. Ease of use?no trouble at all Would I  purchase/try again? yes, I'm glad I still have some left! and would happily order more when I run out even though AD is 4th🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[lmaster]

Ohhhhh this one sounds great!! @sonnydee love lemonade

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  This was one of those that was a pretty good fit for me too! Although, now I'm wondering if maybe mine was bad/near expiration because I did get a whiff of something lemon cleaner-ish 🤔 Glad to hear you got great results too! 👍🍋

[Kim888]

@sonnydee @This sounds great! I know I have it in my collection so I’ll have to use it soon! 

[Weetart]

Glad to hear it has a lemon scent. Even though I logically realize those who develop charcoal masks are unlikely to want to subject us to a horrid smell, I am still hesitant before opening the package @sonnydee

[lmaster]

C is for coscodi

This was a thin white sheet saturated with clear bubbly serum, I had to squeeze the excess off and used it under my eyes and around places that masks don't usually cover. The scent I swear reminded me of vegetables not bad but meh lol fit was decent but eye holes were a bit small. Wear time was 20 minutes, after removing I massaged in the serum until it absorbed and it was pretty tacky and lasted until I applied moisturizer. Results, brighter skin, a touch hydrated didn't notice much of firming or moisturizing. My biggest issue was the sticky tacky feeling, I don't mind tackiness, but I felt like this one was sticky more so. Not a seeker outter C mask for me

Yeah, stickiness doesn't sound great to deal with, @lmaster.

[lmaster]

@quspork I know it was super sticky 😣

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Sorry to hear this was kind of a flop! I'm not so sure I'd want a vegetable scented mask either! 

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 yep it was a flop for sure! On to the next 😆
