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 ๐ฎ
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
@itsfi looking forward to seeing your rainbow of masking. The Yadah masks sounds wonderful.
Thank you @ladyassassin! ๐ Iโm not sure about the sauna like effect that most foil masks tout but they do hydrate my skin pretty well and my always dehydrated loves that! ๐
Ah I forgot about this Eminence mask since you last reviewed it, @itsfi. Heading off to check it out, it sounds yummy! We made pie pops today and didnโt have proper filling so the younger one suggested chocolate chips and marshmallows. Cherry ๐ is one filling I need to have on hand:)
Pie pops @eshoe? Iโve made cake pops, years ago, but must have missed pie pops. Hmmm ... concerning that I missed a dessert phenomena. ๐
Eminence masks are great. Iโm contemplating moving in that direction for the majority of my wash off mask collection. Which, given the number of masks they have, could be dangerous. ๐
Yes, it seemed a little iffy to me, @itsfi! It was a recipe from an American Girl magazine and it was...interesting. The taste was there, and it helped pass the afternoon. Iโve had to limit baked goods to at least every other day, though ๐
Which direction are you referring to with masks? Also, if you have tried their Kale one, I would love to know if itโs worth a buy.
I donโt think Iโve tried the Eminence kale mask @eshoe. Or, not that I remember - itโs entirely possible that the aesthetician used it on me and I donโt recall it; I very often fall asleep during my facials. I know she likes to layer various masks, usually 2, sometimes 3, depending on my skinโs needs, during the facial.
Oh, by direction of masks, I just meant using more Eminence masks more frequently in my masking routine as far as non-sheet masks go.
Layering masks, that sounds like a thirst-quencher for the skin @itsfi! I tried a brief search but of course now the results are about the right filters to use for PPEโs. Not quite what I am looking for๐
Ohhh @eshoe, this "new normal" is also affecting our online search results. Try the following searches:
This should weed out results for PPE filters. ๐
Oh, that foil mask looks amazing, @itsfi!! Can't wait to see the rest of your Rainbow week masks!
Thank you @haleyvvvv! ๐ค This is one of the prettiest foil masks Iโve used. The red is just so bright and beautiful.
I am trying to stay within my โpre-2020 purchased masksโ and already open masks to do the rainbow week theme, so itโs been interesting, but fun, to see what combinations I can come up with.
Um, how have pink and sparkle not already been added the official ROYGBIV list?! Your niece is 100% correct about those additions, @itsfi!
Right, @quspork?!! ๐ค Pink and sparkle deserve to have their place in the rainbow. I let my niece know you agree with her thoughts on the rainbow. Her marker set doesnโt have a โsparkleโ color so Iโve had to improvise when drawing rainbows with her.
@itsfi Haha! I agree with your niece- pink and sparkle definitely should be a new addition! I like how she thinks! ๐๐ SO adorable!
I have that Yadah mask too and don't have the heart to use it yet because my 4 year old loves it so much! Haha! Apparently the packaging is just so pretty to him! (he also loves all the Peripera smoothie masks for the same reason ๐) Glad to see the mask itself is just as pretty as the packaging.... and even better that the results turned out great!
That Cherry mask sounds delicious! So happy to hear you're loving it! ๐ I just ordered a few samples and this is one of them - can't wait to try it out! I can definitely see a full-size purchase of something from this brand in the near future!
Oooh, excited to see what Eminence goodies you picked up @Shosh85! Iโve really been enjoying their products. โฅ๏ธ
Love that your 4 year old appreciate the packaging so much on this one and the Peripera smoothie masks. The colors are pretty so itโs hard to argue with that.
That is such a beautiful foil mask @itsfi
@lmaster, the red is just really so stunning! Every time I use this foil mask, I find myself thinking I need a pair of shoes and a dress in this shade of red. ๐ I, of course, need neither, but it doesn't stop me from thinking I do whenever I take out this mask. ๐
Super quick and abbreviated masking recap:)
Sakura Rose Petal Mask. Texture, scent, consistency matches the fresh almost perfectly. A bit of a surprise but I will take it!
The Crรฉme Shop Gudetama mask was the right fit for the evening; simple
and no fuss, no crazy scent, easy fit. A little tack, but my skin was happy and my routine has been lax so it was a well-perfect fit;)
Last night I tried the Leaders Juicy Mojito.
โ
Nice to know what to look forward to with the Shu mask @eshoe. Iโve been good about not opening more masks until getting through all or most of the partially used ones. Ahhh, another wonderful Leaders mask! A mojito sounds refreshing right now. Well, maybe a mojito sorbet to be exact. Thereโs a store in the city that would have lines out the door during the warmer months when they carried that flavor. I imagine the same rings true even now, though with people spaced out in line to keep socially distanced.
That store you mention sounds soooo welcome right now, @itsfi, so soothing! I think you have been having some unbearable highs, must be a tough summer. Wishing you some cooler weather โ๏ธ๐งโ๏ธ
I think this mask could be called a Margarita-scent as well. There are a few Leaders biocell masks left in my drawer, and I treasure them. Iโm also very happy that I took the plunge on the Sakura, I needed something like that in my routine, it kind of feels like a safety-net mask. Maybe because the fresh was one of the first masks I fell in love with๐น
