💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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!


March Madness
 - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a 💰mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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?

Hopefully 🤞@WinglessOne

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@WinglessOne  It's too bad this one was unimpressive! I have a couple "Time Revolution" masks to try sometime, but now I kinda feel a little less excited about getting to them. Glad you only had the one! I still have packs of 10 that I wish I had never bought! 😬

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@Shosh85 Aw, maybe you'll have better luck with your Time Revolution masks than I did with this one! I remember seeing a Time Revolution Night Somethingorother variety somewhere, but I don't have that one. Anyway, here's hoping Time Revolution works better for you than it did for me! 

 

Unusable 5- or 10-packs are the danger (for me) of buying at TJM/Marshalls. I've given away so many masks from boxes I bought in-store. When I find someone who likes a mask that didn't work for me, that person usually gets any of that mask I have left. 😄 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@WinglessOne  Yup, I have the Night Repair Probio Ampoule Mask and the Artemisia Jelly Mask. The Night Repair one is what I'm most excited to try - I thought "probio" sounded good (even though I have no idea what the skincare benefits are, haha!.... I guess it's time to Google 😉) Plus the packaging looked pretty, and that always lures me in 😬😉

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@WinglessOne Great review of mask.  I totally understand what you mean regarding high expectations of products or food only to be let down after trying it.  Well at least you were able to identify a few benefits of the mask.  Your product reviews are fabulous! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Aw, thanks @tjffc ! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Oh. It’s too bad this one didn’t meet your expectations @WinglessOne. 😞 79-80 points isn’t terrible but it’s certainly a disappointment when your expecting something more in the mid-80 to 90s range. Good for you then that you only had one of these, and not a box of 10!! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@itsfi I really did think this mask would be at least an 88, even with those 2 yucky ingredients. Oh well! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

This pops up in just about every Ulta gwp bag so I wanted to try it & fit the theme for the week

 

Fit? Its a mud mask, its gray, dries & gets tight but you only notice if you really open your mouth wide (like a yawn) but i also left this on longer. I left it on for 6 min instead of 2

 

 

Smell?faint, like a herbal mud. Not bad & I had to really try to be able to sniff the scent

 

Consistency? Creamy clay but only spreads ok. It asks for a generous layer & i used the entire sample..not sure if a brush or applicator will make it easier 

 

Ease of use?ok after I got it all on. The generous layer is probably to help with the removal & i guess i wasn't generous enough🤷. I used a cloth & still had to almost scrub to get this mask off. The good thing is it doesnt strip your skin..

 

Would I  purchase/try again?....my skin doesnt feel detoxified or fresh, if anything it felt like it left a bit of a residue. Not deeply clean like it promises. But it pops up on the reg so I can always try again leaving it on for 2 min...😒 ( smiley face is rolling its eyes. I don't like masking for such a short amount of time) i think you can get the same effect by just washing your face👽👽

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Ewww @sonnydee we don't want any residue now 😆

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@sonnydee Thanks for sharing! I feel like everything I have tried from this brand is akin to your review - it's all fine but nothing is mind blowing 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Alot of their stuff I have tried is also heavily perfumed. But their hand cream is pretty good🤗@Kim888 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@sonnydee Thank you for the review of this mask.  Its great to read thorough feedback from other customers prior to trying products.

😉 anytime. I was hoping this mask would be good-it has good reviews 🤷@tjffc

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@sonnydee Thank you for trying this mask! I have a couple of those samples (thanks a lot, Ulta) but haven't used them; haven't even looked up the ingredients for this mask yet. Your review tells me I'm not missing much. 🤣

no, not missing much except for some frustration over a meh...mud mask that doesnot deliver what it promises..@WinglessOne oh well, more room now for other better masks

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

@sonnydee, your review has me chuckling. For this round, just washing your face, 1; free gwp Ahava mud mask, 0. 😆 Perhaps just leaving the mask on for just 2 minutes will make all the difference... 🤪😂🤣😂

I *tried* to sound optimistic, it has good reviews @itsfi🤷 i dont think it's worth my 2 min even. 😋

This was a pretty cool mask, it was the same color as the packaging, it had films surrounding it and the material felt like thin hydrogel. The fit was decent just too short on the cheeks, now that doesn't happen often, but it definitely did with this mask. There was a bit of the same color serum in the package as well. The scent, I can't even try to describe it, what I can say is I've never smelled anything like it, and I've never had kombucha, so it very well could of resembled that 🤷 but it was not strong while wearing the mask. Wear time was 20 minutes, after removing, I just loved the silky soft skin that emerged after using this. Perfect hydration and perfect amount of moisturizing,, it gets an A I do want more of these ingredients

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Ooh, I haven't seen this line from Yadah, @lmaster. It sounds like it worked out really well! Was the mask actually yellow/orange? 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge - PART II

Yep it was like a mustard shade @quspork even the serum had that brownish tint to it
