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 I CAN use the mask as a moisturizer both day and night because it actually seems to sit well under makeup but I prefer to use it primarily at night, for the most part, unless my skin is extremely dry.
That makes sense @CookieGirl1. It is very nourishing. ๐
@itsfi Such a great picture, as usual! Yellow is such a cheerful color ๐๐๐
The Avatara mask sounds wonderful! Glad it could help calm and brighten! Love that you got an added bonus of bouncy-ness ๐๐
Awww, thank you @Shosh85! ๐ค Yellow puts a smile on my face. ๐๐๐ Bouncy skin is something I like more and more with each passing day. ๐
I feel the same way @itsfi love the flavor of the scrub,, but wish it didn't melt so fast
Something about lemonade draws me in @lmaster! ๐ It would have been great if they kept the formulation but were able to put it in tube form.
Okay! I decided to do a pedicure last night and that never happened but I told myself Iโd do one this morning instead. I got the foot bath down from my closet and ended up cleaning and reorganizing my palettes๐
Itโs now 3pm and hot water is in the foot bath. I stuck my feet in and of course it spilled out all over so I had to clean that up and add some cooler water cause ouch! Settled in and soaking my feet.
Step 1 - salt soak. The soak smells like straight up cinnamon and is tinted orange. I suppose thatโs one of the pumpkin spices so not mad just not what I expected. It still smells great! There are no instructions for how long to soak my feet so I am going with 20 minutes cause Iโm enjoying the vibration and massage and I didnโt pull this foot bath out and clean my closet for nothing!
Step 2- sugar scrub- this smells like pure cinnamon as well. Whereโs the nutmeg and clove? A quick look at the ingredients says they didnโt bother with anything but pumpkin extract and cinnamal. Is cinnamal another word for cinnamon? Oh itโs what gives cinnamon itโs scent. And itโs toxic for fish if it gets into the water supply. Hmmmm. The scrub feels great and smells great even though it doesnโt smell like pumpkin spice.
Step 3- mud mask-again just smells like cinnamon. Is this why this product was in a subscription box? The mask is suuuuuper creamy. Itโs to be kept on for 3-5 minutes. Iโm going with 5 cause Iโve gotta make this process and the cleanup afterward worth it. The mask doesnโt dry down and is easy to rinse off.
Step 4- massage butter- cinnamon scented massage butter. Itโs thinner than what I consider massage butter but itโs still thick moisturizing and smells good. Thereโs more massage butter than you could possibly need for your whole body in a packet so I will smell like cinnamon for a while:D
All in all a good experience. My feet are happy for the love and smell like cinnamon:). Iโd recommend this but donโt expect pumpkin spice.

That foot bath looks super relaxing, I'm sorry getting it out though was a bit of a hassle, @heartsmyface!! Glad the mask set seemed to work out, although too bad it didn't smell like pumpkin!!
@heartsmyface Well, it's a bit of a bummer there was no Pumpkin scent, but cinnamon still sounds great and the foot bath just looks SO relaxing! Glad you could pamper yourself a little! ๐
I'll take cinnamon spice!! @heartsmyface looks so relaxing!!
This sounds like a cinnamon-foot heaven, @heartsmyface!
@heartsmyface oooh sounds fun! Is that the one that came in FFF this season?
Sounds like a treat @heartsmyface. In high school I had a paraffin wax bath that I'd use for my hands and feet. Now I want some type of pampering device again!
@ShortErica Ouhhhhh, that sounds divine and also somewhat messy. How do you clean a parrifin bath? ๐ง.
exit- Iโm watching how to videos on wax baths!
@heartsmyface As long as the wax was mostly clean, we left it in and it would harden. Then when we would use it again, just reheat. It was the kind that you plugged in and it melted and kept it warm. Once the wax looked gross we would dig out the solid pieces and add new wax. I forget if that was what was instructed or we felt more confident disposing it that way than dumping out warm wax.
@ShortErica Okay that doesnโt seem so bad knowing beeswax is antibacterial. And cooled off seems a less messy way of doing things.
@heartsmyface Omg I need to invest in one of those foot baths!!! And the scent of that soak sounds so yummy!! Perfect treat!
@ather Itโs not something I would have ever thought was a good idea to buy. It was a gift from my hubs around six years ago. I remember lowkey not thinking Iโd ever use it but it turned out I loved it. Too bad I went and stashed it on the top shelf of my closet when we moved. I forgot about it. Iโm going to store it somewhere a little more accessible ๐
Oooouh, look at you @heartsmyface! I love a good foot soak. ๐
@itsfi It felt great! My feet are feeling particularily soft right now. I must do this more often.
