💕😌 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  I've tried all the masks from that A'pieu line, and Hanrabong was my least favorite. In my notes I described the scent as, "a sort of soapy, citrusy scent - kind of like citrus dish soap" 😬 It's probably the only one from the line I wouldn't consider repurchasing. 
I LOVE that Julep mask! It's gotta be one of my most favorite multi-step mask and thanks to you I had a chance to try it! Happy to hear it's a love for you too! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, Citrus dish soap sounds like a good descriptor. It wasn’t something that I liked. 

The Julep 3-step is one of my favorites from the brand, too. I was bummed when I heard Julep might close but then I saw these in Target and phew ...

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I totally forgot about Julep closing! ..... gotta love Target! 👌

[lmaster]

Interesting about the scent you picked up from the icing mask @itsfi I recall loving the scents, maybe I have not tried this particular mask 🤔

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I wasn’t expecting it. I thought it would be a lot more citrusy or fruity. I’ll have to check to see if it was an older mask. 🤔 

[quspork]

Hopefully some minor mask surgery will help the other Apieu masks fit a little better than this one did, @itsfi.

[itsfi]

I think it will @quspork. Most A'Pieu sheet masks just need a little snip here and there, and I think I expected the same from this one. I was a little alarmed when it came right up to the corner of my inner eye. A good reminder that not all sheet masks, even from the same brand, have the same shape and design. 

[eshoe]

Everything sounds exceptional, @itsfi! I have the A’Pieu in my drawer, very excited to try after your review☺️

[itsfi]

Do you have all of the A'Pieu masks in this line @eshoe?

[eshoe]

Yes, I believe so @itsfi; if there are four, then I have them. I still need to try the watermelon, pineapple and hanrabang. I just bought them last month after trying and loving the green (melon) one that @Shosh85 shared with me:)

[itsfi]

@eshoe, I’ll be interested to see if your hanrabang version hasn’t a similar scent to what I picked up. I’ve heard good things about the watermelon and pineapple ones.

Tonight's 3 step mask was a gift from the ever so generous @eshoe Step1: the cleanser Fit? it's a creamy, frothy wash. it took off my mascara the 1st time. It has a shimmer to it, reminds me of the AP cleanser that I love Smell?it does have a fragrance to it. I like it, actually reminds me something from my childhood that I cant quite remember what...🤔 Consistency?cream, rinsed easy Ease of use?no issues Would I  purchase/try again?I wish they sold this individually! Step2: the mask Fit?typical fit, extra to wrap around the chin Smell?it did have a fragrance, pleasant like the cleanser but different Consistency?it is a black mask, drenched in a thinner clear serum Ease of use? I did have to fight with the eyes, at the beginning- the area was a tight fit. Would I  purchase/try again?this left my face felling soft & moisturized. I don't feel the need to add the serum yet- im waiting until morning for everything to soak in even more. it's not tacky but I think it might turn greasy if i added the serum. Which surprised me, being a charcoal mask. Will update tomorrow with step 3.

[sonnydee]

And today was the 1st day of school so my morning quickly turned into my afternoon before i remembered I still need to do step 3. I woke up to soft skin that absorbed most of the hydration from the mask but I do think adding the serum would be overdoing it. The serum is thinner than baby oil & actually does kinda smell like it. it's more faint, not so powdery & in your face though. I think this would be a great charcoal mask for the drier types. For a oily girl like myself, i could use thisagain dragging out the steps or if my face was extra thirsty- like a day in the FL sun. But had i known this wasn't a true charcoal mask, I wouldn't of used it yet. So can't really rate but did enjoy the scent! 🤗 @lmaster @Shosh85 @eshoe @itsfi

[lmaster]

@sonnydee are you kids doing remote learning or in person? Just curious how different every school is. My boys are doing Monday and Tuesday in person, Wednesday and Thursday remote. While my daughter she's 13 her school is 5 days a week in person. 

[sonnydee]

We had a choice for all schools: in person, hybrid (what your boys are doing) & online. I only left the choice up to teeni & she choose in person. They missed it, especially my little ones.  @lmaster 

[lmaster]

That's exactly right @sonnydee they miss the structure and friends! 

[sonnydee]

Yes, & all the "extra" google meets they had. 😕 i had to print out a weekly schedule to keep up with them all. @lmaster 

[lmaster]

Ohh interesting! @sonnydee would love to know the final results

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  I haven't tried much from this brand and don't ever feel drawn to multi-step masks, but this one sounds like it's worth a try! Have you had a chance to try the 3rd step yet?

[itsfi]

Soft, moisturized skin sounds good to me, @sonnydee! 

[eshoe]

Ok guess I need to get one of those for myself, @sonnydee 👍🏼😊
