💕😌 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💗

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Sounds like a nice one! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😃

[Kim888]

@PrettyPaint @Sounds interesting! A super nice fitting mask is always hard to find! 

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  I totally agree. I quite frequently have trouble with mask fit, so it's always such a treat to try one that's low maintenance.

J as in just catching up with the last couple of weeks of masking... I swear I don't know where time goes these days. But anyway, here's a quick overview of a few from the stash from the last couple of weeks (minus wash-offs). 

Spoiler

Papa Recipe original Bombee Honey Mask- this one is a constant repurchase. I love it- so nourishing and hydrating, plus that honey scent- yum!

Spoiler

The Hanalei Papaya Mask - I grabbed this one out of the MOTM box, so thank you to whomever put that one in! This was a nice mask- tencel material that was comfortable to wear. It was slightly narrow on the fit and the eye holes were a touch too small for me, but overall, that wasn't an issue. There was maybe the lightest of fruit scents? Mostly just fresh. My skin felt nicely hydrated afterwards. I'd definitely use it again and now I'm checking out lip balms and oils on the company's site so... 😂

Spoiler

The Mitomo Royal Jelly and Cherry Blossom Mask. This has a really beautiful design for the packaging, but for me, the mask didn't live up to the beauty of the artwork. It was ok, but I wasn't wowed. I'd consider this a decent filler mask, I was nicely hydrated but not much else left an impression on me. 

Spoiler

Peripera Sparkling Cool Lime- I know @Shosh85 is a big Peripera fan and this is a nice cooling mask in their collection. It is certainly a refreshing one! The mask material was thin and fit and adhered nicely. It does feel cool against the skin. The mask claims to bubble a bit but it wasn't anything particularly noticeable for me. The scent was light, a little citrusy. This would be a great morning mask because it really wakes up your skin and gives it a really invigorating feeling. I'd definitely repurchase. 

Spoiler

The Creme Shop's Pomegranate Cranberry Fusion Mask- TCS is very hit or miss for me and this one was just kinda ok for me. I didn't care for the scent which hinted at fruity but really came off far too chemical. The material wasn't the best fit for me either. I did get some hydration but I would say that was about it. It's not a bad mask, but it's not one I'd go out of my way to use again. 

Spoiler

Isntree's African Baobab Seed Mask- Baobab is supposed to be a nice ingredient for helping with inflammation and is filled with various nutrients. The mask had no real scent and is made of thin fiber sheet covered with clear serum. The eye holes were slightly small, but overall the fit was decent. My biggest issue was that adherence wasn't great as it kept coming unattached at my chin. Aside from that, it was a nice mask though. It left me nicely hydrated with bouncy skin after removal. I would be interested to try it again during a breakout to see if it help with an of the acne inflammation.

I think almost all these masks look delicious and refreshing! @quspork great choices!

[quspork]

Ha, I don't think I realized how many fruits/foods were featured in all of these together, @lmaster 

[ShortErica]

I think I also took a hanalei out of MOtM so now I'm super excited @quspork. I have a duel of Mitomo masks for this week and between a blog I read and your review I'm keeping my expectations moderate so hopefully they work out as "fine" for me. Nice round up!

[quspork]

I look forward to your reviews, @ShortErica!

[ather]

@quspork  Great line up of masks!

[quspork]

Thanks, @ather!

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness @quspork, the Peripera sparkling mask - it has a cooling effect?!? I would stock up on those for summer 🏝 👍🏼 ☺️ Hopefully they aren’t part of the discontinued ones!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @quspork Peripera won't be making masks at all 😢 Clio Cosmetics is the parent company of Peripera and Goodal. Peripera will now be focusing on makeup and Goodal will be focusing on skincare. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, @WinglessOne) 

[eshoe]

With all of the discontinued/reformulated beauty lately, it’s hard not to feel a bit discouraged @Shosh85 @WinglessOne. I’m at the point where I want to kind of ‘settle down’ with a few favorites but this only prompts more experimenting🙄

[quspork]

That's a shame, @Shosh85. Especially since Goodal discontinued my favorite line of their skincare too. Guess it's good for the wallet though!

[WinglessOne]

@Shosh85 @eshoe @quspork  Yep, that's (sadly) correct. Clio has taken Peripera out of the skincare game and made Goodal their primary skincare brand. 

So if anyone wants any Peripera sheet masks (or any other of their skincare products), better grab 'em now while you can still find them. Seoulful took over the Club Clio USA online store (and offline stores, I think) so they still have some of the masks. RoseRoseShop also still has some for sale. 

[quspork]

Yes, this would be so nice for summer- after a long hot day, @eshoe! Luckily roseroseshop has the line in stock, but I always debate whether I need to go ahead and buy more *just in case*!

[itsfi]

All these masks look and sound great @quspork! I spy a fall pumpkin background - comforter? Can you believe we are almost through October?!!! 

[quspork]

Hahaha, yes! @itsfi  It's my Halloween bed comforter 👻 How we are at the end of October all ready, I have no idea. Especially when April and May lasted 8,462 years apiece. 

[itsfi]

😂🤣😂 You speak no lies @quspork! The rest of the year is going to fly by! 

[Weetart]

I didn't notice the pumpkin blanket/comforter/placemat/cuteness @itsfi ! I forgot to bring out my purple witches flying on brooms fleece blanket. Gak! 

[quspork]

I almost always forget the blanket stuff, @Weetart! Luckily this year, I was looking for something else in the closet and came across the bin with this so it could be enjoyed haha!
