๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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!


March Madness
 - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

This sounds like it gave some nice results, @Shosh85! Sorry the alcohol content holds it back for you. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@quspork  There are so many masks I'd repurchase if not for the alcohol - but I guess that's better for my wallet anyway ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Shosh85  That sounds like a nice and comfy one for sure. Too bad alcohol is kind of high on the list.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@PrettyPaint High alcohol in masks always bum me out! I'm not opposed to using masks with alcohol, but I definitely try and be careful how often I use them! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Went with a bit of Glow and some L for last week

This was a medium thickness mask with a good fit. It had a milky serum. The scent was unique; in my mind I asked "is this how flowers steeped in milk smells?" The scent wasn't much on the mask but could smell it in the package. I wore it for 20 minutes but the nose area was getting dry. My skin felt moisturized and almost as if there was a primer of some sort on it. My face looked nice but didn't help with lines (though there were no claims for that). Not much extra serum but it was what it is. A-.

Next was a gift from @missjeanie

I did a couple quick passes with the swab. I've never used something like this and wanted the actives to work but also didn't want to go overboard.

The mask had a mesh material and very good fit. It was a bit extra (wide) for chin but folded nicely. The wear time said 15-25 minutes but did 30 and then placed it on my neck. During the beginning of wear my skin felt cooling sensation - not sure if it was the swab and mask ingredients meeting or what. I didn't notice it later as I kept the mask on. My skin was slightly tacky. It looked good and bright. This is the type of mask that I wonder how it performs over time. I really need to motivate myself to exfoliate on a more regular basis. A-.

This mask says it provides a glow put also leads right into the this week - yes, you BIC and particularly @eshoe convinced me sheet masks don't have to have a crazy fit with the Mediheal A: PE one. Then of course I had to buy some Mediheal masks on Amazon. It was such a good deal and of course the pack isn't available anymore but yes, all to say, you're to blame. ๐Ÿ˜‰ This Mediheal was a gift from the lovely @Shosh85

The mask had a pretty good fit but short on my forehead. I did a 25 minute wear then used it on my neck. It had no scent while wearing but when sniffing package, I got a whiff of baby powder. I had no tack on my face but there was slight stickiness where my neck was bending from reading. My skin looked dewy but did not glow. Because it claimed glow, I'll give it a B+.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@ShortErica Great mask collection. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Thank you @tjffc!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Love your masking lineup here, @ShortErica! I just used that Hey, Lo last night. That Murad is out for this week, too. Iโ€™m very excited about the mesh material ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ


 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

I'm eager to read your reviews @eshoe. Hopefully they both make your skin happy!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

The Murad was nice, @ShortErica. I just finished using it and it was a pleasant masking. The chin kept falling off, which...is normal I guess. I need to remember to knead my masks before using them๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@eshoe how are your masks stored? I have mine in a basket and drawers mostly upright. I've been selecting my masks for the week and putting them flat in a drawer and I think it helps with having the serum more evenly distributed.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Upright in a drawer, @ShortErica. Itโ€™s whittled down quite a bit now (<150) too. My goal is to do a good restock in the New Year๐Ÿฅณ how about you?

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

I think I have ~160 currently @eshoe. I can't wait to restock next year too!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Thatโ€™s fantastic, @ShortErica! It feels so good to use the ones weโ€™ve neglected. I think being at home, and more of my attention required from family equates to simpler masking.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Oh wow, three great masks, @ShortErica!! What a win!! I'm new to the Mediheal masks, and they few I've used have been great!! I like the little stamp on this one.

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Yes, I've done two Mediheal with similar titles, one from the friends line and a different one I need to post and have some more coming up. The only mediheal I was disappointed in was tea tree but that's because I dont like the scent and it was strong @haleyvvvv 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@ShortErica  I haven't tried any of these, but they all look quite nice! The Line Friends stuff is so cute! 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

Yes, they are adorable @PrettyPaint! If there come across your path, they were good masks and I'd say give them a go. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@ShortErica  Sounds like a lot of great masking! Glad these all turned out nice for you! I love the little bunny print on the Mediheal mask! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‡

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@Shosh85thatโ€™s Cony from Line Friends.  She dates Brown the bear.  :D.  I swear Line Friends is some of the best marketing Iโ€™ve ever seen for an app.  They were originally stickers for a messaging ap but theyโ€™ve become their own entity.  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge

@heartsmyface  Oh nice. I new her name was Cony, but didn't know she dates Brown ๐Ÿ˜‰ I also had no idea they were originally stickers for an app! The Line Friends characters certainly are super cute! ๐Ÿ˜Š
