💕😌 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 💮

Spoiler

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💗

Ohhhh, but look at what I just found @Samtian - 

Sure, it’s not the same as having it around the masking time, but I can live with that. 😆 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Awe say what! I wish I had cool things like this near me.

[heartsmyface]

L is for a limited edition.   I think I have two of these left. I’ve enjoyed these masks so much.  they’re my favorite crème shop mask but all good things must come to an end.  Enjoying it with some Sakura royal milk tea.

What a lovely masking sesh!! @heartsmyface gorgeous tea cup 😍

[ShortErica]

Mmm tea @heartsmyface! I enjoyed this one too thanks to @missjeanie sharing with me. Hope you get to savor the ones you have left.

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Happy to hear you've enjoyed this one - it's my favorite from this HK line!

Love that tea cup 😍 Jill Stuart really makes some beautiful products!

[eshoe]

This mask is sooooo nice, and of course cute which is a bonus @heartsmyface! Love the tea cup, too - how gorgeous. 

[itsfi]

So many things I love here @heartsmyface! Where to begin?!! Love the photo! 😍 Love the mask and tea pairing. How cute is your tea set?!! And the illustration on the sheet mask packaging! The mask itself is a really good one too; one I really enjoy. I have a tea purchase in the works (my cart gets fuller and fuller every time I log on) and I'm adding "sakura royal milk tea" to it. It sounds so good!

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   This is one of the few printed masks I can’t get enough of!  The scent sends me to my happy place. I didn’t bother with a review cause I figured everyone here s fairly familiar with it.   I’ll be sad when they’re all gone but know there will be many new and fabulous masks to fill the void.  
The tea set is from Omotesando Tokyo.  I use the petit four tower for makeup in my beauty room.  😜

 

The tea is REALLY good!! It’s more a dessert than it is a tea.  It comes in powder form and you just add water.  A typical bone china cup and saucer is the perfect size so no measuring required.  I definitely recommend and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!  I love milk tea in general but this flavour is just wonderful!  
where do you typically buy your teas from?  This one I found on SugoiMart.  

[itsfi]

I love how you're using that petit four tower @heartsmyface! Adorable and creative! 💖

This is the first I've heard of that milk tea flavor but I will be giving it a try. Pre-covid, I would get teas from various tea shops in the city. There's a couple of places in the city that sell Japanese teas, including a small shop that is conveniently located next to a yummy ramen restaurant and 4 doors down from the boutique that had a selection of sheet masks and Kbeauty makeup. Super convenient. 😍 Otherwise, I've picked up some teas online at yamibuy (dot) com - they stock certain products but also have a marketplace set up similar to amazon, so you just have to be careful that you are buying from the same store or shipping can add up, as some of the stores are located in Japan. Oh, I just went onto the SugoiMart site and it looks like I can already tell I'm going to have fun there! Thank you!! 😁

[Samtian]

Last night my mask was the Royal Jelly + Cherry Blossom Essence Mask. It definitely smelt like fake cherry blossoms. But my skin looks nice when I woke up. I have like 3-4 more of these to use up next. I really love the artwork. 

[lmaster]

I've loved this line of masks and there are a few varieties too @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster I'm going to have to keep an eye out for more.

[haleyvvvv]

This is gorgeous packaging!! Glad the mask worked well, @Samtian!! 

[Samtian]

@haleyvvvv Thank you! me too!

[ShortErica]

I've got some of these lined up to try later this year @Samtian. I look forward to reading your thoughts on the others so I can set expectations for it. I find the artwork very pleasing too! 🙂

[Samtian]

@ShortErica I can't wait to hear your thoughts! This is the only one I have from them. 

[ShortErica]

Oh, I misunderstood @Samtian and thought you had other versions and not others of this same mask. I've received some in unicorn mail and have spotted various ones at TJ Maxx/Marshalls (pre-covid of course). I read a blog featuring them a while ago and the heavy scents described made me put them on the backburner for a bit.

[Samtian]

@ShortErica I wish! Nope I just found this 5 pack at TJ Maxx. It is pretty heavy scented.

[ShortErica]

At least you got some good results @Samtian! TJ Maxx spoils us with their prices.

[Samtian]

@ShortErica That is for sure!
