[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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@itsfi now you did get both the balm and lip mask in the gummy bear flavor? If so do they both smell the same to you?

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I did pick the lip sleeping mask and the lip glowy balm in the same gummy bear flavor. Some have picked up a grape 🍇 candy flavor but my nose hasn’t gotten grape yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But with the peach lip glowy balm, I also didn’t pick up a peach scent either. The scent is more pronounced in the lip sleeping mask and last night it smelled sweet and fruity-ish.

[lmaster]

@itsfi ok good to know! I did pick up the grapefruit balm, the gummy bear mask and the sweet candy I believe lip mask

[itsfi]

@lmaster, ohhh, you picked some good ones!! The grapefruit lip balm is my favorite scent of the bunch! 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I really love the grapefruit lip mask, so I figured I'd go ahead and try the balm 😊

[Kim888]

I've definitely been curious about the new flavor @itsfi - interesting to hear it's grape-y

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I know others have picked up a grape scent; I can’t seem to for whatever reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it’s because I associate grape with the flavor of children’s cough syrup and I don’t get that scent from it. I can pick up a sweet fruit scent. 

[quspork]

So glad to see the new flavor of Laneige popping up, @itsfi. As a gummy candy lover, I'm intrigued by this new flavor!

[itsfi]

I love gummies too @quspork! 💕 It’s been a while since I’ve had some; may need to change that. 😉 Maybe a visit to the Sugarfina website is in order. 😆

@itsfi 

I was super disappointed about the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original since it just felt like it was sitting on my lips.  I'm super interested in the new Laneige Gummy Bear lip balm tho!  I'm a sucker for that purple color and would love to try that gummy bear scent/ flavor!

[itsfi]

@RAWRitsRED, oh, I’m sorry to hear that the Laneige lip mask feels like it sits on top of your lips; I’ve heard that from a couple of people. The lip balm has a lighter consistency than the lip sleeping mask so it would be less moisturizing, but do you also get the same feeling of the product just sitting on top of your lips with the balm as you do the lip sleeping mask?

I’m trying to think of another balm that has a purple tint to it but am drawing a blank at the moment. BITE made a lavender lip mask but my recollection is that it has more of a pinkish hue. Nothing else is coming to mind at the moment, but if I think of something, I’ll let you know. 

[RAWRitsRED]

@itsfi 

I haven't tried their balm yet but maybe I'll try it out since there's a sale coming up!

I love your post @itsfi ! I meant grape candy, I suppose I was thinking in French! Raisin = Grape 🙄. I’m so glad that the BIO-CELL Brightening Mask improved your skin! Your reviews are amazing, I love the details you include in them ! 🧐❤️

[itsfi]

Aww thank you @keana1! 🤗 That’s very kind of you to say. It’s fun to talk about masks. 

Oh, I should have made the connection with raisin = grape in. French. All those years of French and I missed it. Thank you for sending this one my way - Bio-cellulose masks feel especially nice when my skin is irritated. 

[SportyGirly125]

@keana1 @Glad to know you think it smells like grape candy too 

[keana1]

Maybe @itsfi will eventually agree with both of us @SportyGirly125 ! 🍇💜

[itsfi]

@keana1, I don’t pick up grape specifically for some reason. Great that you @SportyGirly125 do. 

[keana1]

I can understand @itsfi . I’ve never been able to smell the peach in the LaNeige Peach lip balm and you’re able to! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Happy to hear you enjoyed the sheet mask! Those results sound wonderful! This is yet another line of masks on my list to try sometime 👍😃

[itsfi]

Thank you @Shosh85! 🤗 Bio-cellulose masks have been nice after a peel or when my skin is irritated.

The Oozoo Fresh Capsule Royal Jelly Mask

This mask has a capsule of serum on the front of the package, that you are supposed to firmly press, releasing it into the pouch. After bursting the capsule, you are to massage the pouch, ensuring it all gets distributed evenly. This cotton sheet mask is soaked with serum that has a light, sweet honey type of smell. The mask  fit well and was just a little too long at the chin. It was comfy to wear and had good adherence, just the extra length at the chin popped up a couple times. I had it on for about 40 minutes. When I removed it the little bit of serum that was left was a little tacky, but it all absorbed pretty quickly. My complexion looked clearer and brighter, my skin felt smooth and hydrated and had a very nice glow.

This one never gets old. I will probably always continue to repurchase! I was so happy to find it at TJ Maxx!
