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
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, @WinglessOne - I always learn so much from you! Speaking of, I didnโt even realize the YTTP has l-ascorbic acid. Itโs been quite awhile since Iโve read the ingredients.
A pump would be great, you are right. There are glass pumps out there, Guessing the costs might be slightly higher because of the pump? You should share your thoughts with the brand, would be a good change to see.
Thanks @eshoe ! ๐ I think I did ask YTTP about their packaging decision, but I don't remember if they responded. I might ask again.
And now I wonder if anyone makes a glass airless vacuum pump jar or bottle... the exterior could certainly be made of glass, but the insides of all airless pumps/bottles I've seen are plastic. At a minimum, the interior platform thingy would probably have to be plastic; I wouldn't want that to be glass and break inside the jar. And either the interior container or exterior jar would have to be opaque or anti-UV for best ascorbic acid protection, so they'd have to use some kind of tinted or opaquely colored glass. But it's possible.
Iโve had facial oil containers like that, @WinglessOne. Glass bottle, with plastic pump. I definitely donโt see a glass pump as sustainable in my household, the diamond nail file I bought (you recommended it; it was amazing) broke the exact same day I bought it๐ no oneโs fault but my own. Just broke the gray glass straw from the SEPHORA COLLECTION Hydrate! Reusable Glass Straw Set this morning. Itโs OOS now, I had it added to my cart immediately and when it went OOS thought to myself, what am I buying? Because I know I am just going to break them all at some point.
Sidetracked for a moment, but yes...I would take a glass bottle with plastic pump over a glass jar with screw on lid.
Oh gosh, I am very behind on my masking posts. Time to catch up!
Blind Pick Your Mask (F&U)
Ugh this mask is Forgettable
Sheet Mask Focus (G&T)
I love hydroGel sheet masks Farmacy Coconut Gel Sheet Mask - Brightening 0.78 oz/ 23 mL
Drugstore & Grocery Brands Week (H&S)
So, I thought this brand was at Shoppers, then realized it wasn't a Boscia mask, but a Dr. Jart one ๐
And, just because I messed up this week, I'll talk about an actual Boscia mask boscia Charcoal Pore Pudding Intensive Wash-Off Treatment , which is a brand actually sold at Shoppers, lol.
3-Step Masks/Multi-Step Masks (I&R)
Rainbow Week (J&Q)
Thanks for you catch up @haleyvvvv. Love that every week is rainbow for you. Very interesting but logical about the PTR thermal mask being different based on packaging. Though I wonder why it is more grainy. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Thank you, @ShortErica!! I think it is maybe less water/liquid (maybe it settles more to the bottom in the tub), or the act of squeezing it out of tube makes it more pliant/removes some of the graininess?
@haleyvvvv I love your weekly rainbow line-up! The PTR Pumpkin mask and the Honey Potion are two of my most favorite wash-offs! ๐
Yes, @Shosh85!! Love honey potion!! Thank you!!
@haleyvvvv there's a few new to me in your line up! Thanks for reviewing these
@haleyvvvv very impressive! A lot of great masks and some I have been wanting to try.
@haleyvvvv, Iโm impressed that you rotate through all those masks regularly. ๐๐ผ Nice variety in your masks.
Thank you, @itsfi !! I love masking, so this weekly schedule helps me keep a variety while not having *too* many open at once or deal with decision fatigue. Plus, this thread helps me use up some my sheet mask collection which for some reason I've accumulated despite them not being my fave, lol.
Love your summary, @haleyvvvv. Every week is rainbow week here, too๐ The Dr. Jart mask looks good, charcoal sheet masks are some of the best fitting and most comfy in my mind!
Thank you, @eshoe!! Rainbow week every week for everyone ๐๐๐!!
The charcoal mask fit so well, I wished it had worked because I liked wearing it ๐ but maybe it'll inspire me to try more.
I hated my first charcoal sheet mask, @haleyvvvv. They grew on me as I realized how soft and comforting they are. There are others out there. Look at Me makes a good one. I will let you know when I think of others. Lapcos has a good one, too, but itโs heavily fragranced. In a good way, as in it is a pleasant scent, but for some people, added perfume is not a welcome addition:)
I will definitely have to check more out, @eshoe !! Good to know about the Look at Me one, I'll keep an eye out for it. Thank you!!
The rainbow theme mask challenge is one of my favorites, courtesy of the genius mastermind of the fabulous @sonnydee! ๐๐ค I'm a little behind in getting to all the masks I set aside for this week's challenge theme so some of them will run over to the next week or so, as ROY G. BIV week is undergoing a redesign this year in my house, thanks to the only family member who truly appreciates my love of hauls and all things beauty and fashion related - my niece tells me that there are actually 2 more colors than the Roy G. Biv 7! In addition to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, there's . . . wait for it . . .
pink and sparkle! ๐ ๐โ๏ธโจ
We'll start off with red and the rest of the rainbow masks this and next week will probably mix in another past challenge theme, with random colors selected as inspiration for my masks.
Wash Off + Lip Balm
Looking forward to seeing everyone's masks for this week's rainbow theme.
@itsfi looking forward to seeing your rainbow of masking. The Yadah masks sounds wonderful.
