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 ๐ฎ
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
Rofl on no @Shosh85 - very lord Voldemort
@Kim888 love those Erno masks! I was also surprised to discover how large the granules in the YTTP are. At least itโs only a DS and not FS ๐๐ผ๐
Ooo I do have a couple Erno in my stash. Have you tried the Lighten one @Kim888?
@ShortErica @I have! I prefer this one though - I didnโt think the lightening one was quite as effective
Thanks for the insight @Kim888!
@Kim888 I must admit your erno mask sounds very appealing
@Kim888 I keep hearing great reviews on the Egg Cream Mask and still haven't tried it yet! Good to hear it's a favorite of yours!
Those Erno Laszlo masks are pretty fun! I agree - it's definitely a good one for summer!
@Kim888, a mask with a cooling effect and that makes your skin plump and refreshed sounds like a perfect summer mask! Agree, TCFS egg mask is a trusty go-to; love it! ๐
V is for Vitalizing
Yadah Vitalizing Mask Pack
This is a thin-medium cotton sheet mask that was soaking with serum and didn't have much of a discernible scent - just a typical sheet mask kind of smell. It had a great fit and was just a little too long at the chin. The adherence was ok, but the chin part did need some occasional re-patting. I kept it on for about a half hour. When I removed it the serum was a little tacky, but it all absorbed in only 5 minutes. My face looked a little brighter and felt soft and smooth.
I think this would fall under the category of a good filler mask- it wasn't bad, but also nothing too special. I'd use again, but probably wouldn't repurchase.
Vitalizing masks crack me up, @Shosh85. Iโm just not sure what that means, maybe. Maybe a zesty citrus scent might *feel* like itโs waking you up (or even a coffee one)? At any rate...at least it left your skin happy:)
@eshoe Haha! Yeah, I know what you mean. The question, "what does 'vitalize' even mean?" has definitely popped up a few times. ๐ค๐
Now that you posed the question @Shosh85, it made me think...โvitalโ - what is vital? Nutrients? Maybe that has something to do with it๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ If so, it would totally make sense to me!
I so agree @Shosh85. I think I was blinded by the Yadah. I bought a few boxes at Marshalls and now that I retried one, it was fine but not wow. I do appreciate the lack of fragrance and price point at Marshalls but the adherence and material could be better. I may have to do a comparison to see if any of this line stand out vs the rest. I dont know if I have this one but know I have quite a few different ones.
@ShortErica Yeah, I'm kind of regretting buying a 10 pack of the snail/collagen - they're fine and all, I just didn't need 10 of them! I wouldn't mind trying the others (lime and seaweed), but only if I can get singles ๐
@Shosh85 I have the snail/collagen, the pore care, and the honey. I remember liking the pore care the best and the honey wasn't impressive but I really need to retry them.
Everyone needs a great filler mask right @Shosh85
Exactly @lmaster, always good to have a few on hand! ๐
@Shosh85, I agree with you about it being a good filler mask. In general, the masks in this particular Yadah line seem well suited for daily masking, especially if you can find them in a box of 10 at TJ Maxx / Marshalls / Winners. I've used the snail version for daily masking for a week and was pleased with the results, which makes me curious how many different flavors are in this line - I doubt there's enough for a different flavor per day for a month, but I wonder if there's enough different varieties that you could use 2 or 3 in a month. Hmmm....
@itsfi Yeah, I agree, these masks would be great daily masks! I've thought about using the snail/collagen one consecutively, but I feel like I'd get too bored, even just for a week ๐ - but alternating the different flavors is a great idea!
I *think* there's 6 different varieties, and I've tried all but the lime/brightening one. I'm pretty sure the snail is my favorite ๐๐
