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 ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
@Shosh85, yeah, itโs interesting to see how different brands fall out of categories for me the more sheet masks I use and how many skin needs change as Iโve aged. I still like Mediheal sheet masks and most masks by them are ones I would happily use again - theyโre solid and I know what to expect; I donโt instinctively jump at the chance to purchase them... unless thereโs a new mask I happen upon, then Iโm sure my knee jerk reaction is โoooh? What is this?!โ ๐ Some things never change. ๐ ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
That is definitely a unique way to choose a mask @itsfi
Ha! ๐ Ohhh, unique. You just gave me a "U" for one of the letters of the week. Thank you @lmaster! ๐ค What's left of the sheet masks I want to use up by the end of the year are grouped by a mask's purpose, so I thought this would be more of a blind pick.
@itsfi This mask sounds neat! Love the scrabble tile idea.
Thank you @emaisgr8! Gotta put the Scrabble tiles to good use. lol. ๐
That's a cool way to pick a mask! Thanks for your thoughts. Miss you too @itsfi ๐ค
Thank you @veronika23! My skin is just beginning to mend from breaking out after using a concealer that didn't agree with my skin and dealing with "maskne", and I didn't want to risk aggravating it with a mask drawn completely at random, so I did this instead. I do enjoy the "blind pick" challenge - it's a lot of fun. โค๏ธ I'll revisit it again and again during the rest of the year. ๐
@itsfi oh no! I hate when that happens. At least you know what made you breakout... and totally understand why you wouldn't want to completely blind pick a mask. Hope it clears up fast. ๐
@veronika23, thank you, V! ๐ I didnโt even consider the concealer could be the culprit until a BIC lovely @danielledanielle posted about a similar result from the concealer. ๐ So thankful she mentioned it; otherwise, Iโd probably still be reaching for it and making things worse!! ๐ Now I know, and my zit zapper products have been working overtime. ๐ Good thing about it is that Iโm going through my stash at a faster pace. ๐คช๐๐คฃ๐
@itsfi Ohhh. It's good someone posted about it then! Hahaha well at least nothing will be going to waste... I've been having a hard time using all my products/doing a full routine... I really need to use up what I have before it goes bad. ๐
Ha! Yeah, I've been breezing through my acne fighting products this summer! ๐ And my hydrating serums and masks too, since I follow up with hydrating products to keep my already dehydrated skin from getting more parched. I guess there's a bright side to breaking out??!! ๐ฒ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I hear ya @veronika23! I gave away a box of unopen, full size masks and other products earlier this summer because I knew I wouldn't be able to get to them this year and I'd rather someone get use out of and enjoy them than I have to toss it either having used it a few times or worse, not having used it at all. It's made me more mindful about what I can buy more frequently and what should really only be a purchase if I've used up a comparable product. Lessons learned. Always so many lessons learned. Ha!
Totally understand you with giving away some products. I do that often... though I should have done it more with my makeup I think... Hahaha yeah... wish we didn't have to learn these lessons the hard way. ๐ @itsfi
XP from the Feedback Wanted: New Clean SC Makeup and Skincare Items thread:
Finally getting around to posting my comparison of the old school green tea and the new "clean" matcha tea masks.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Face Mask Matcha - I actually did a comparison of this one with the SEPHORA COLLECTION Face Mask Green Tea since both tea sheet masks claim to offer mattifying and clarifying as benefits. I've really enjoyed the older version of the mask and was curious how the "clean" version stacked up. Both masks had a similar fit which works well on my face. Adherence was also good for both masks. The Green Tea mask is made of a slightly sturdier-feeling cotton sheet and had a backing for placement. The Matcha one was perhaps slightly more comfortable on and did not have a backing, but that was not an issue. The Green Tea has a grassier scent, while the Matcha was more of a soapy scent, with the Matcha scent lingering much longer through wear time. I didn't notice much tack on my skin after removal of either mask. Both left me decently hydrated, but I wouldn't say that I noticed any particular mattifying effects. Perhaps with longer usage over time? Based on this comparison, I'm definitely interested in trying other versions of the new clean mask line to see which may become new favorites!
@quspork Ooooh, I love that you compared these! Glad to hear they both turned out nice - sounds like I need to try the Matcha Tea one soon! ๐
I appreciate the comparison of old vs new @quspork!
I loved the matcha tea mask @quspork
@quspork @Thanks for sharing! Interesting comparison!!
Oh thanks for the comparision @quspork
Nice comparison @quspork! ๐ Good to hear that the new, cleaner matcha mask was one you liked. Itโs my favorite of the new clean masks that Iโve tried so far (only 3). ๐ต
@sonnydee I haven't tried any of these because of all the negative reviews I've heard. This one definitely sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Sorry to hear it was such a let down! ๐ข
