💕😌 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💗

@sonnydee  Yeah, I've heard a lot of people say that DE products cause them break outs. Sorry to hear this is the case for you. I don't really have a strong opinion about the brand, but I do love the pump jars they package their full size products in 😉 I may not repurchase the DE but I will re-use the jar! 😃

[itsfi]

That sheet masks sounds fabulous @sonnydee; love the black and white design on the packaging too! 😍

[sonnydee]

I kept putting it off due to the long wear time but I'm glad I finally had the time & desire to try it. I dont know if its worth $11 - found on Amazon for 1 mask 😳but I'll use the ones  got. They'll probably pop up on ipsy again if I really like them  @itsfi

I use this year round, but the smell was like extra appealing because, it’s the season! Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 oz 

smells like pumpkin pie. And my skin always feels like a baby after using it. It has a tingle, doesn’t take long. And a jar lasts forever. I like how they sell their big jars in packs and those packs go on super sale all the time. But like I said, takes forever to get through a jar because they don’t skimp on the product.

Love this mask, @Weetart!

[ather]

@Weetart  Such a great choice!

[eshoe]

This is a favorite of so many @Weetart! You are right - if it’s a favorite, it’s great to have a hearty jar and frequent sales👍🏼

[Weetart]

For realz @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@Weetart Mmm, I LOVE this one! It smells SO delicious! Glad you enjoy it too! 😃

[Weetart]

It does smell like you can eat it! @Shosh85 dangerous around little ones... and big babies like me. But unlike Glow Recipe I'm sure it would be a disaster if I accidently got some of this in my mouth.

[itsfi]

This is one of my favorite masks @Weetart! 💖 Love the scent, love the results! Perfect year round, but so fitting for the fall! 

[Weetart]

Same here @itsfi ! It's one that I actually get through a full container, then actually have to purchase a new one. A must on the shelf. Scrubby wise I also really like OLEHENRIKSEN Pore-Balance™ Facial Sauna Scrub 3 oz/ 85 g it leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft as a baby bottom. I haven't tried OLEHENRIKSEN Cold Plunge Pore Mask 3 oz/ 90 mL ... why haven't I?

[Shosh85]

@Weetart @itsfi  The sauna scrub is one of my favorites to use, especially in the winter because of its warming effect. Mmm, feels so nice!

[itsfi]

100% agree @Weetart. 👊🏼 There are few wash off masks that I repurchase as a full size, and the PTR pumpkin is one of them. Ooouh, very good to know - I have a mini set with that OH sauna scrub. It leaves your skin soft and smooth like a baby’s bum? 🤔 Well then, I definitely need to give it a go soon. The Cold Plunge Pore is a nice one; I was “meh” about it the first time I tried it but gave it another shot and have really liked having it as part of my mask stash. 😍 The cooling sensation and color are added perks. 😉

WHAT IT IS
This refreshing gel mask helps refine texture & brighten to boost skin’s clarity—leaving you looking luminous.

WHAT IT IS FORMULATED TO DO
A juicy burst of hydration for skin, this SuperFruit mask with Dragon Fruit & Vitamin C helps boost radiance to improve skin’s clarity. Crushed Walnut Shell exfoliators gently exfoliate & refine skin’s texture, and Tangerine, Lemon & Blackcurrant leave you feeling refreshed.

I didn't notice anything, but than again my sample is from when they sent them out to be tested. This is the one with the walnut shells in it, so I will be discarding this.

[lmaster]

@Samtian I don't blame you for discarding it

[Samtian]

@lmaster It's a good lesson to remind myself, if I used things when they were new I wouldn't have to toss so much lol.

[quspork]

It's too bad about the shells and lack of performance, @Samtian. I think I remember liking this one ok when they sent out the samples, but I honestly can't remember which one I preferred at the time. 

[Samtian]

@quspork Haha yeah it has been a while.

[ather]

@Samtian  Sounds refreshing! Too bad there’s walnut shells in it. 

[Samtian]

@ather Agreed!
