[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 💮

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💗

@sonnydee  I had to look up the ingredients for this one, because I thought it might be a deer velvet mask - but it looks like it's just what your skin is supposed to feel like when your done 😂 Glad to hear this one turned out nice for you! Love the gauzy-type masks! 😃

P is for Pink and K is for Karuna

I was excited to try out the VS pink mask - it definitely gave me all the nostalgic vibes. I totally remember when the Victoria secret beauty section seemed luxurious haha. The mask itself was fairly average, the fit wasn’t too bad and scent was innocuous. I didn’t find it as hydrating as some others I’ve tried but it wasn’t overly tacky or anything. I’d give it like a B-. 

The Karuna foot mask was interesting ! In terms of the booties themselves, I felt that the fit was better than the Sephora brand ones, but they weren’t as sturdy. My toe sort of ended up poking a hole in one of them when I was massaging the lotion around. The lotion itself was very nice and hydrating, on par with the Sephora brand ones I would say. OverallI I would definitely use this again!

The foot masks sound nice @Kim888. I think I took something from this brand from Masks On the Move though I don't think it was a foot mask.

[eshoe]

@Kim888 when you mentioned that your toe poked a hole through the foot mask, it reminded me of the dissolving Karuna eye gels. I can't imagine the foot masks are anywhere near the same category, but it was funny imagining  😄 

I used to LOVE the VS glosses!!! Beauty Rush, those lasted forever on the lips. 

[lmaster]

Sounds like some decent foot masks!! @Kim888 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Haha! I remember thinking VS beauty section was so luxurious too! The Pink masks I've tried have turned out about the same, nothing special, kinda average. Glad this was at least decent for you!

This thermal water Avene mask is one of my favorites. It’s very soothing, light scent, light water cream texture. It feels like a luxury brand. Why in the world do I always forget to try their lotion? When I accidentally come across a soap I’m sensitive too I have a few months of disaster skin before it recovers. That’s where I am right now. This certainly helps.

@Weetart this mask sounds wonderful, thank you for highlighting it because we all need a good hydrating mask at times. I love the mist as well @lmaster especially when standing in line somewhere in the heat.

[lmaster]

I've used the thermal water spray from this brand and loved it @Weetart 

[ShortErica]

You! @lmaster making me feel all fancy. I've been using the mist prior to applying my HA serum and now it's become part of my routine and I never would have thought I'd be buying water to mist on myself but I think I just might. 😁😂

[lmaster]

@ShortErica 🤣 love it!! It's really great especially in the order you are using it in,, or will continue to use it in 😆 

[ShortErica]

Have you tried any other brands @lmaster? I'm still trying to limit going out but remember seeing Evian I believe when I found the Yadah masks at Marshall. Might have to pick it up.

[lmaster]

Well @ShortErica I just picked up the Caudalie Grape Water Limited Edition 6.7 oz/ 200 mL but have not used it yet

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Awe, I'm sorry to hear your skin is acting up, but I'm happy to hear this is helping! 

[Kim888]

That sounds really nice @Weetart - I agree I always kind of forget about them it I’ve liked the samples I’ve tried 

[quspork]

Oh nice, @Weetart! I don't think I've noticed the Avene mask before. They do have some great products though. 

[PrettyPaint]

@Weetart  I'm not too familiar with this brand, but I'll definitely keep it on my radar now 🙂

K is for Kitty ☺️

This was a medium thickness sheet with super cute illustrations, clear bubbly serum with a bit extra. Fit was ok, but the cute designs and fresh clean scent made up for it!! 20 minutes later,, my skin felted refreshed and hydrated and a bit moisturized, this is a nice mask I'd gladly use again

Love Tea Time with HK @lmaster!

 

[lmaster]

Awwww that's adorable @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  This whole Sanrio line is so cute! I remember liking the scent on this one too! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃
