💕😌 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💗

@itsfi  These can be fun when you have the time, but 45 minutes sure seems like a lot of time to spend on just your nose! I do love the packaging on these though - I'm always tempted to pick 'em up just for the cuteness 😉 🐽

[itsfi]

Yes!!! That is exactly how I feel @Shosh85! 45 minutes on just my nose?!! I hope I remember not to be drawn in by the packaging again. That’s just a lot of time. I feel like 30 minutes of sheet masking on my face is a lot as it is. 😂 

[tjffc]

@itsfi Wow, seems like a really intense mask.  45-minutes. 

[itsfi]

@tjffc, I know, right?!! When I use the Biore nose strips, it’s 10-15 minutes, and I feel like I get the same or better results. This nose pack isn’t bad, just more time consuming than I would like. Glad I tried it though.

[eshoe]

I really like how you replicated this mask at the end, @itsfi. It’s very helpful, especially since this one seems like quite the pomp and circumstance for a little nose masking! 

[itsfi]

It is quite the TLC for the nose @eshoe. A little too much for me to do on a routine basis. 

[eshoe]

It seems that @SchylarR tried this one and had similar feelings about it, @itsfi. At least you’ve cleared out a bit of room for another mask now! 😉

[lmaster]

@itsfi wow that sounds really time consuming, I don't realize how long it takes

[itsfi]

It was @lmaster! Here I was thinking each step would take no more than 5 minutes each. Not so. 😆 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Sounds kinda fun! I need to dig out my strips. I hate them lol. 

[itsfi]

You don’t like nose strips @Samtian?

[Samtian]

@itsfi Yes and No. I like looking at the stuff it pulls out, but it hurts lol.

@itsfi 

the little piggy noses are so cute!

[itsfi]

They're super cute @nuinui933. Not gonna lie, that's why I picked up this set - the packaging. 😂

I have some “S” to wrap up from last week! 

Spoiler

Volition silt gelee mask: 
so this is one of my favorite clay masks. I will say, this is a new tub and the formula doesn’t seem the same. The color is slightly lighter, the smell was slightly different and the texture seemed slightly different. It still did a good job but it wasn’t quite as creamy as my first tub which was disappointing 

briogeo superfood body cream: 
I am obsessed with this new body moisturizer. It smells amazing! It’s the perfect blend of coconut and banana though more heavy on banana. If absorbs really well and is non sticky 

when snow magic face mask. This is a standard bio-cell like sheet mask. The fit was nice as usual for the brand. If had a sort of citrus like scent which was pleasant. I left it on for the full 30 minutes and it was nice and cooling. I didn’t find it super brightening but it was hydrating, I would use it again! 

Also finally got to try the sol de janero strength and smooth shampoo and conditioner. So I did love how this smelled. My hair was left super soft after using it, but almost like too soft. I don’t think it did a very good job of smoothing - there’s this sort of thing that happens to my very curly hair that I heat style when it’s like too soft so it ends up just being puffy and frizzy. I’m glad I got to try it and I loved the smell but I wouldn’t buy

@Kim888  I didn't even know that body cream existed- it definitely sounds great! The scent you described sounds exactly how the Briogeo banana shampoo & conditioner smells - have you tried those?  
Glad to hear the When mask turned out pretty decent for you! I didn't find it to have the greatest brightening effects either, and I also don't love that there's alcohol- but like you, I'd still use this one again!

[eshoe]

Hmmmm @Kim888 the Briogeo sounds like Glow Recipe Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream for your body🥰

[tjffc]

@Kim888 The body cream sounds delightful!

[lmaster]

The briogeo body cream sounds so delicious @Kim888 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I also thought the SdJ shampoo/conditioner left my hair feeling too soft. I thought it was just me. I *think* it may be the shampoo more than the conditioner, but can't say for certain. I am going to have to pick up that Briogeo body cream - the scent on it sounds fabulous!

[nuinui933]

@Kim888 

that body cream sure sounds like it smells nice.
