💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[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💗

Yeah for birthday shopping @missjeanie . I feel the same way about Kiehl's . I love minis. Wish all items came in them for trying out and to keep from getting bored with one product.

[missjeanie]

Getting bored is my thing @emaisgr8 ... I want to try it all out all the things but then feel bad having a 6oz pot of something open and not using it.

@missjeanie 

Yay! Happy Birthday month! 🎂🎈🎉

Your nieces are too cute! I remember going through a glitter/shimmer phase! and I still get distracted with sparkly, shiny products!😍

I haven't tried too many Kiehl's products, but what I have tried, I agree, were all kinda "meh" - like they weren't really doing anything. 🤔

I really enjoyed that When mask too and it's actually my favorite from the line!The scent and results were both fantastic - so happy to hear you loved it!😃

[missjeanie]

@Shosh85  I generally love glittery makeup, just not on me. I feel for the most part I wear a very ‘natural’ look, but the brights and glitters in my collection sure are getting love from the 5 and 7 year old who love all makeup! 
Ive got some more Keihl’s to try out but i feel let down from my expectations for sure. 

[quspork]

So glad to hear the When mask worked out so beautifully for you, @missjeanie. Happy Birthday month!

[missjeanie]

Thanks @quspork !

@missjeanie, happy birthday month! 🎂 Your nieces sound adorable. Mine also looooves sparkle. 💖 The When mask is a beauty! I hear ya on added fragrance - while I prefer it not be included, I can (and do) certainly appreciate a lovely scent. As for Kiehl's, I like the body moisturizer. Their masks are ones that I generally consider to be okay. Of all their masks, this calendula and aloe one is the one I gravitate most towards, but not so much for major hydration. I like it as a soothing mask that provides some hydration - a nice one if I've been out in the sun and need something gentle to soothe / calm the skin. It can be a nice one too, to use a day or two after a professional peel, but it's not a mask I'd consider a "must have." 

[missjeanie]

Thanks @itsfi , Birthday this year was much more subdued than years past but I’m ok with that. I actually think I have a deluxe size of the Kiehl’s body moisturizer from a kit around here somewhere. I’ll give it a shot today! 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, yeah, most birthdays are probably more subdued this year with all that is going on. I'm happy that you were able to do a birthday shopping spree! Glad you treated yourself. Let me know how you like the Kiehl's moisturizer. In the wintertime, I like to apply an oil after drying off after a shower, letting the oil absorb a little and and then sealing it all in with the Kiehl's. 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I tried the creme de corp body moisturizer yesterday and I'm kinda torn... There's no scent to it.  Now Iknow this is probably a good thing, as it'll let my perfume shine, and I shouldn't want to put fragrance on my skin.... but... I do love a lovely fragrance in my body products (dang that SDJ is so yummily scented).  I did feel like it actually gave a good layer of moisture to my skin though.  It was thicker than I'd anticipated and sank in nicely on my legs, on my decollate it appeared to leave a lot more glow than some of the others I've been using, though admittedly I'm new on the body moisturizer bandwagon.  I've got likely another 3 or 4 applications in the bottle and I'm curious to try it out longer term, first impression I'm feeling like this one is good for cooler months where I'm naturally more dry.

Another blind pick from last week

Unfortunately I can't remember how or where I received this mask,, im thinking TJ Maxx. It's a medium thickness sheet, fit was mmmk scent was rosemary herbal, clear bubbly serum, no lasting tackiness. I enjoyed the benefits of this mask very much. My skin felt instantly calmed and appeared refreshed more hydrated and plump. Depending on the price if I seen this again I would pick it up.

@lmaster  Pretty packaging and great results sounds wonderful to me! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 it was a lost wonder in my collection 😊 thanks to the theme, it was found 🙌

[itsfi]

The results sound good @lmaster and the ingredient list looks nice, too!

[lmaster]

@itsfi I hope I can find more,, when I do ever get the chance to go out 😣

[itsfi]

Ohhh. 😔 Hang in there! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 that your store stocks these @lmaster and has a good supply when you can make your way there again. 

[missjeanie]

Love the packaging on this one @lmaster .  I'll end up remembering you liked this one based on that alone.  

[lmaster]

@missjeanie it is really pretty!! And worked wonderfully! 🙌

[Shosh85]

G is for Gudetama and T is for Tighter.  Thanks to the lovely @emaisgr8 forsending me this one!

The Creme Shop Gudetama Tighter 'n' Brighter Sheet Mask

This is a cotton sheet mask, that was white with cute little pictures on it. It was drenched with serum and had a lemony scent. It fit like a classic Creme Shop mask - the whole circumference of the mask was too big and the space between the eyes was too wide. 🥴 I kept it on for about 35 minutes and it had a cool and refreshing feel the entire time it was on. When I removed it, there was hardly any serum left on my face and it wasn't sticky or tacky at all. My face looked a little brighter and my skin felt smooth and lightly hydrated.

I thought this was a decent mask with good results, and while it's not my favorite Creme Shop mask, it's one I wouldn't hesitate to use again! Thanks again, emaisg8!

[emaisgr8]

I'm glad you enjoyed this mask @Shosh85 . I need to pull this one out myself to use.
