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
Yeah, I'm glad I got to do most of them twice because it lets me see if my opinions were the same or switched up @lmaster ๐
A quartet, @ShortErica-some good skin love right there๐๐ผ Though yes...the longer you mask, the less tolerant you can become of that ubiquitous โlaundryโ scent. Still, considering that, these are some solid masks for everyday:)
Definitely an enjoyable week of masking @eshoe!
O is for The Orchid Skin
I love how simple yet elegant your photo is!! @itsfi sounds like a beautiful mask
Thank you @lmaster! ๐ค I find the packaging on this one to be very pretty; I was definitely drawn in by the aesthetics. ๐ One of the stems from my orchid plant broke so I was trying to keep it going, and decided to use the broken stem in the photo.
Wow, @itsfi, what a treat this mask must have been! Curious if you picked up the Collagen. Their eye patches look interesting, too.
@eshoe, I have their eye masks and plan to give them a go this week, which I guess means I need to use them tonight or tomorrow. ๐ I have a few other masks from the brand; I think the collagen mask is one of them.
@itsfi -- Is Orchid the brand? Does the mask have fragrance of any kind? I would anticipate since it is based on a flower most likely but I like the review and orchids are good plants. Try as I might I never could get mine to re-bloom the next season.
@MCSSavvy, sorry for the delay in responding; I haven't been online regularly over the last few days and just saw your post. The brand is The Orchid Skin. I just looked at the back of the packet and added fragrance is the last ingredient listed. It wasn't an issue for me with this mask but I do have occasionally have sensitivity to fragrance and I know others do as well.
I love orchids. ๐ I've had the most success with orchids re-blooming with those that I place near a window that has access to a good source of light, somewhere where the plant gets some but not too much direct sunlight, if that makes sense. And if I'm consistent with feeding it, too - 2-3 ice cubes depending on how large the orchid plant is, once per week. I've had a couple that I've had to say 'good bye' to, but have had one that's been doing really well for a few seasons now. *fingers crossed it keeps its track record.
@itsfi Thanks for the info! Orchids are beautiful and so glad to hear you have had some success on getting a few of yours to rebloom. I do not get very much natural light in my flat in part due to shade from the tree in front and also due to the direction my windows face. When I moved to my current flat I had some small potted palms and z-plants. Unfortunately, the squirrels took a liking and alas I have pots but no plants! LOL! I'll look into the mask you tried. I'm allergic to fragrance but if it's really lightly scented I may be ok with it. ๐
@itsfi Sometimes the strip under the nose can be so skinny, it's a like thong for your face! ๐ This one sounds wonderful! Happy to hear you'd repurchase in a heartbeat!
Yessssss @Shosh85! You're a genius! That is an excellent way to describe it! ๐คฃ Whenever the strip covering the area above the lip is so thin I always wonder what happened at the design stage where they thought that would work?! Especially when there's so much extra width-wise all around and the length at the chin/jawline. Like, who thought making that strip just a bit larger than dental floss would make for good proportions?!!! ๐
Masks that make you hungry...

Oh it sounds nice @lmaster. Is the material more similar to the Holika Holika aloe one or the Holika Holika essence line or something else?
Haha!! Not sure @ShortErica it was thin and pink with cuts in it,,, wish I could remember the other versions
Just another reason to try them again @lmaster ๐
Yum that sounds like a great mask @lmaster
@Kim888 it's going to give other watermelon masks good competition
@lmaster, you nailed the theme! I'm craving watermelon looking at this sheet mask! Even better that it performed so well and smelled like watermelon. ๐
