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
@Shosh85, I was super curious when I saw the tagged product since I hadnโt seen the set before. ๐ Then I read the part about the star ingredient being low on the list alcohol high. ๐ Well, that means my very low, low-buy is still in play! ๐
@itsfi Unfortunately it seems the key ingredient being low and fragrance being high, is something all these Sephora masks have in common. I just did a quick glance through all the Sephora masks, (both the original and clean versions) and ALL of them had fragrance higher than their key ingredient, with the exception of the Aloe one - which has Aloe Juice higher than fragrance but the Aloe extract is lower.
Also, just because I thought it was interesting, in the ingredients list of the Coconut clean mask, fragrance is higher than coconut, but Watermelon is higher than them both! ๐๐ค (there's no watermelon in the original version ๐)
Sephora Clean Coconut Mask ingredients:
@Shosh85 I remember I received one of the customer opinion surveys that they sent out about 1 week before they hit the shelves (if that -- maybe less). Mainly it asked do you like the packaging? Would you buy it based on the packaging? Do you believe it is clean? What if it only has 5 ingredients would you buy it? Of course they only show the front of the packaging and I thought em, no... there's gonna be fragrance in there. To me the survey was not to see if people were interested in such a product but if they would buy it based on the ridiculous product packaging and front of package claims (personally, I don't like their packaging - old or new as it just seems so busy. I understand others may love. It's just not my style). But my take away was there was less focus on the ingredient / quality than there was on the marketing and packaging. Which is disappointing because Sephora does seem to be trying to develop a cleaner (note I said cleaner, not clean) skin care line at a reasonable price point. Sad the key ingredient is so low down on the list.
@Shosh85 Thanks! I hadn't noticed this set. I kind of feel like buying it too - probably because it's a better deal than purchasing separately.
@PrettyPaint Yeah, I think that's why it's more tempting - they're cheaper than what Sephora masks typically go for. That fragrance being so high is why I hesitate ๐ฌ

Happy to hear this one worked well for you @lmaster. I have this one too but havenโt pulled it out yet. Good to know what to expect. ๐
I think you will enjoy this one @itsfi ๐ค
@lmaster So happy to hear you enjoyed this one! I have this and Matcha Tea on my list to order during the sale, since I seems like they have gotten the most positive reviews! ๐๐
@Shosh85 yep I love both of those,, I think some I've tried,,, the serum was not saturating the sheet and it gave me a not so great experience,, I'm curious if it's certain ingredients that's not allowing the serum to deeply penetrate the sheet or if it was some other reason
@lmaster Sounds like this would be a nice hydrating one for the cooler weather!
@PrettyPaint I really love this one,, it's a keeper ๐
This one sounds like one to try, @lmaster! Do you have any left of the clean version masks to try?
I'm pretty sure I've tried all the smaller clean sheets, I have a hemp one that I need to try still @eshoe
N for Nature. thought I snapped a pic but guess not. Oh well, screen shot it is. The masks are already put away.๐ Lavido 2 in 1 mask & exfoliater

Fit? wash off mask
Smell?....not great. ๐ herbal. I would not want to smell like this on a regular basis
Consistency? It has some grit to it. Its also a ugly brownish yellow color. Not mustard. Maybe mustard, if it went bad...lol. It does dry down but only mild tightness. It was pretty comfortable. I think this might be a problem for sensitive skin, I don't have ss but I think the lemon oil made me 'aware' when i had this on. Maybe getting deep in my pores?๐คท
Ease of use?it says to rinse off but when you had water, it just gets loose but stays put. I just grabbed an eraser
Would I purchase/try again? I got this in a ipsy bag & I've been curious about it. It did make my face feel fresh but too early to tell if this will do anything. Luckily, it's a big tube
Finished off the night with laneige lip mask in lemon
If I didn't have so much laneige to get through I would be tempted by the lemon. Have you tried the Sara Happ lemon @sonnydee? I'm curious how the scent/taste would compare though I'm not supposed to be licking that lip scrub..oops!
