[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 💮

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?

@Shosh85  I like your idea!!! I think I need to order them and try it ASAP!! 

[sonnydee]

And those feet mask just got added to my to get list @itsfi thank you for sharing

[itsfi]

Yay! The new masks are motivation for me to use up the hand and foot masks I have in my stash @sonnydee. I also notice the clean line has a new charcoal nose strip. I can’t seem to tag it yet.

  D for Dud?, Different & Discontinued. And it fits the weird theme, for me at least, because if you follow the directions you Dont shake the bottle but use a qtip to get to the pink sediment that forms on the bottom..😳thats different. I used it last night, you spot treatment with the pink goo & leave it on overnight. It turns clear as it dries which is a pro & con- you cant see it -you dont see it to wash it all off. Lucky me 😒 i had a couple if different spots to use it on- lil white head, a patch of texture, a under the skin zit, etc. The only difference that i saw this morning was the patch of texture, it looked less angry & dried out. It does have a scent to it, i found it to be refreshing. Only the slightest hint if sulfur. So we shall see if this is a replacement for my loved but Discontinued I dew care spot treatment.....oh, I emptied out the foil into a glass bottle that's why you see the yttp jar.😝

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  It really is a bummer when something you love gets discontinued! I hope this one ends up being a good replacement! 😃🤞

[lmaster]

@sonnydee sounds very interesting, please keep us posted

[sonnydee]

Will do @lmaster 

[ShortErica]

Very nice putting your sample in a bottle @sonnydee - so smart! Hopefully it works and can replace your discontinued love. Good luck!

[sonnydee]

I'll always like to keep lil bottles around, especially glass ones, for this very reason @ShortErica also keep smaller jars of HGs to refill for travel from my bigger jars. 🤗it saves me money & space

I've been keeping my skincare routine much more safe lately. I dug out the Ole Henriksen PHAT mask, it's not weird BUT it changes from pink to white as you rub it in. unimpressed face brought to gou by losing my grandmother's birthday present

[Shosh85]

@Nickelliebear1  I've heard good things about this mask! How are you liking it?

So sorry about your grandmothers present! 😢

[haleyvvvv]

How tingly is the PHAT mask, @Nickelliebear1? Have you used the Herbivore Prism or DE babyfacial and how does it compare?

[Nickelliebear1]

@haleyvvvv I haven't used either (even though I keep trying to figure out a loophole to get DE to this side of the border).  Normally PHAT is a barely noticable warming sensation for me- yesterday it was a little bit more noticable.

D is for Disco!! Honestly this mask works for the letter and theme. It’s Too Faced Glow Job. It’s a peel off with so much glitter I looked awesome with it on. Couldn’t get a good image, but the container will have to do. I love peel offs my skin always looks so much better and brighter. I think I got this in a sub box from somewhere. Looove it: smells like artificial fruit imor berries. It was a blast to use. Sooooo much glitter my hands are still sparkling.

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Glad you loved this one! It definitely looks pretty! Was your face glittery after removing the mask?

[haleyvvvv]

So sparkly, @Weetart!! That seems like it would be fun to use. Similar energy to the GLAMGLOW GLAMGLOW X MY LITTLE PONY #GLITTERMASK GRAVITYMUD™ Firming Treatment Mask Purple Glitter ones.

[Weetart]

I was wondering about that one. I was tempted but I never caught it on sale or as an ispy addon @haleyvvvv

[haleyvvvv]

The regular one is much better, @Weetart. I got the purple one half off, and it was definitely pretty and fun but not worth it for the effects.

Last night's masking with a favorite and a newbie:

Spoiler

The Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Mask is one of my favorite masks to use. It has an almost fruity-rose scent, noticeable but fresh and not at all overwhelming. I often leave this on close to an hour, just to enjoy the scent. No irritation or fuss, just an easy, enjoyable mask. W for Will be a repurchase 🙂

The Banilla Water + Water Dear Hydration mask appealed to me as I needed a nighttime mask that soothed my AM dermaplaned skin. Removing it from the packet, I noticed a couple of things right off the bat. One, the serum was like a jelly/watery hybrid; not quite a gel, but not so watery that it dripped everywhere. I like! There was enough extra to pat down my cheeks and forehead. The second thing I noticed was the scent. Dirty mint? It kind of reminded me of the Origins Mushroom Treatment Lotion at times, and at others, of a peppermint candy cane. It was truly unusual, and I didn't mind it at all. The fit was good. It was a little oversize on the sides, and the eyes a bit small, but the slits around that area made it possible to just widen it without snipping; very nice. I left it on until it just started to dry, maybe 30-35 minutes. 

After removing, I was very pleased to find only minimal tackiness. My skin felt hydrated and happy! This was an interesting mask and one I will use again.

Blind-buys are such a hit or miss, @Shosh85 - this is one I’m glad I bought a second of:)
