💕😌 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💗

@Weetart  Sounds yummy!

[eshoe]

@Weetart this mask sounds lovely! Similar to the Skinfood Cranberry Mask that I loved and was discontinued. I am going to check it out now, it might make a good wash off, too.

[Weetart]

That's what I was thinking @eshoe , that it would make a good wash off. I only was able to use up the Holika Holika Wine night mask by using it mainly as a midday wash off. When I sat at the computer I'd put it on for a while then wash it off after I got up.

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Sounds nice! I agree, these masks are a bit overpriced, but I'm glad this one turned out decent for you! 😃

[Weetart]

It was alright for sure @Shosh85 , I will never be a huge fan of the jelly texture masks. I like gel, but jelly is too food like for me. But it did keep the moisture in and didn't react poorly with my night routine.

@Weetart, I picked up the orchid version of these SC sleeping pods when it was in the sale section. I liked it a lot and would be happy to find them in a fuller size as I agree that regular price for the amount you get isn't the best deal. 

[Weetart]

Did the orchid version have the same jelly texture? @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Yes @Weetart! 😊 It looks almost the same as your pomegranate version except the orchid one had more of a pale magenta hue to it.

I actually had a Q mask. I don't know that this one is really being made anymore, but it's by A'Pieu, and it's a Quinoa mask. It's looks like it's from something called the "my skin-fit" line. I did think it fit nice and close to the skin. It didn't smell like quinoa (which is perhaps a good thing for a face mask). It was nice and refreshing and provided some moisture.

[lmaster]

I bet that mask was very nice! @PrettyPaint 

[PrettyPaint]

It was so nice and refreshing @lmaster 

[quspork]

Oh how interesting, @PrettyPaint. I don't think I've noticed a quinoa mask before. I'm glad to hear it worked out nicely for you!

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @quspork. It seemed like a strange ingredient for a mask, but it was surprisingly nice!

[ather]

@PrettyPaint glad it was refreshing!

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @ather 

[eshoe]

Oooh it would be fun to try this one,

@PrettyPaint, but definitely not if it had a quinoa scent😂 It’s not terrible, just kind of...dusty? Anyhow, happy to hear you had a pleasant masking with it!

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Your description made me laugh. I actually was having trouble conceptualizing how quinoa smells, but I totally get what you mean 🙂

[itsfi]

@PrettyPaint, it's always fun to read about a new to me skincare ingredient. Your results sound nice and, yes, good it didn't smell like quinoa. Not that quinoa has a bad scent to it, but it would probably make me hungry while masking. 😂

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Yeah, it did make me want quinoa just based on the fact that I haven't had it for so long.

[Weetart]

@PrettyPaint I have a few from this line and I do enjoy them. I may or may not still have this one around... forgot if I used it or gave it away. Glad to hear it was a successful mask!

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @Weetart. I haven't seen them around too much, so I wonder if they are being phased out...
