💕😌 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💗

@WinglessOne  Definitely sounds like I'd be great on a hot day! The packaging for these are always super cute too!

[lmaster]

This pack looks so refreshing @WinglessOne I'm starting to appreciate cooler months more now 😆

[ather]

@WinglessOne  Wow. Can it be an almost perfect mask for combo skin? Not sure about the scent. Sounds a little strong but I’m amazed it was good for your oily and dry skin!

[eshoe]

@WinglessOne everyone of the Lululun masks have intrigued me. Your scent descriptions especially! I’ve finally tried one and have another yet, below. If the mask is good, seven days of it would be welcome. That being said, I wonder how sensitivity to scent throughout the week might come into play. Seems like some days my nose can tolerate anything and others, I’m hunting for a mask that comes up blank in that area.

I’m glad you’ve reviewed a few of these, helped me feel confident enough to try something I usually wouldn’t!

 

[WinglessOne]

@eshoe  Glad I could enable—err, pique your curiosity! 😈 

I can see how scent sensitivity might make you space out usage of a 7-sheet mask pouch. I don't use the same mask by any brand for 7 consecutive days, so I have several opened LuLuLun 7-sheet pouches. As long as I use all 7 masks in a pouch within 80 days of opening, they'll be fine. I write the "opened on" date on the back of each pouch with a Sharpie.

C is for Celebeau black rose aqua mask.

 Sorry the pic is sideways, I don’t know why but it won’t let me fix it🤷‍♀️ The mask was ok. It had a lot of lovely rose scented serum. The fit was pretty good. I left it on for 20 minutes and there was just enough serum to massage in. It didn’t feel very tacky and my face did feel hydrated. A few minutes later my face started to feel a little bit irritated. I love rose but it does not love me. So it’s not one I would use again.

[quspork]

Oh, no! It's a shame this one was irritating, @faeriegirl.

[tjffc]

@faeriegirl Sorry this one did not work for you.  

[ShortErica]

BIC seems weird with photos lately. I appreciate seeing the package cause it helps me remember if I tried it or have it so sideways is great. Sorry the mask wasn't for you @faeriegirl. Hopefully the next one you pick treats your skin better.

[faeriegirl]

Thank you @ShortErica! I hope they get the picture issues fixed soon🤞

[eshoe]

Oh what a bummer, @faeriegirl - sorry this one didn't agree with your skin. Hope it returned to normal quickly!

[faeriegirl]

Thankfully it wasn’t irritated for very long  @eshoe. 

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  Awe what a bummer! Sorry there was irritation with this one! I'm not a fan of floral/rose so this wasn't my favorite either. 

[faeriegirl]

I love floral scents @Shosh85  but rose and lavender definitely do not love me😂

[ather]

@faeriegirl  Oh no I’m sorry to hear it irritated your skin. Hopefully it’s not to bad!

[faeriegirl]

It wasn’t too bad @ather, it went away after about 20 minutes.

[lmaster]

Awwww that's sad to hear @faeriegirl 

[faeriegirl]

It always makes me sad @lmaster  because I love rose scent☹️

[Shosh85]

Going with the foot mask theme because I've been excited to try these ever since @eshoe gifted them to me.

Dr. Jart Dermask Foot Smoothing Mask

These are foil booties lined with a layer of meshy cotton inside. They had a light coating of a thick, creamy serum and a citrusy/shea butter kind of smell - the scent was super light though, and I could really only smell it by sticking my nose right in the bootie. They had a nice warming effect, that is, if you're sitting/lying down - if I started walking the warming effect disappeared. I guess it's not so bad it forces you relax 😂The directions say to leave them on for 15-20 minutes-  I left them on for more like an hour, because it seemed the warming effect would never go away and I was enjoying how it felt. 😊When I did remove them, my feet felt so soft and smooth and nicely moisturized.

I'm normally not too big on foot/hand masks because I feel like moisturizer can do just as good of a job, but these had the added bonus of warmth, which definitely makes them a repurchase for me. 😃

[quspork]

Warming booties would definitely be nice once the cold weather hits, @Shosh85!

[Shosh85]

@quspork  This would love to have a bunch of these saved up for winter time! 😃
