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
@Shosh85, I'm excited that all these masks contain the Irish sea moss in it. I had fun doing some research on it and learning about it. The material was less bouncy/squishy than I associate with biocellulose and it adhered differently than how the biocellulose masks I've used before adhere. The look of the mask itself was also different ~ with biocellulose masks, I feel like the material is not completely clear, whereas with a hydrogel, even if it's tinted, there's more transparency to the material than in a biocellulose one. This "is it a biocellulose mask or a hydrogel mask" is presenting quite the experiment for me - FUN!! ๐
@itsfi That's probably when I would've wrote back the company and asked them to explain the difference between the two ๐ค๐
@Shosh85, lol. ๐ I contemplated that, but first I wanted to try out another one of the KNC masks and then compare it to other hydrogels and bio-cellulose masks. Iโll take photos and when I have more time, I may just to that - this, of course, assumes Iโm right. ๐
Oooh a mask that reminded you of the GR one, @itsfi? So many notes you brought up about this one make it quite appealing! The question of material makes me want to try it for myself just to feel it. Making a mental note now to keep my eyes open for this one๐
Yep, except this KNC mask was slightly more dense and less prone to tearing and adhered better than the GR watermelon sheet mask @eshoe, which I found to be very slippery every time I used it.
@itsfi ohhhh this is very interesting!! Keep us posted if you hear anything from the company
@lmaster, they got back to me and just said that it is bio-cellulose. I have a set of bio-cellulose masks set aside for use so that'll be a good point of reference for me to compare another one of these masks with the various bio-cellulous ones I have. We shall see.
@itsfi alrighty then!! Lol biocellulose it is ๐
Lol @lmaster! We shall see. I still think itโs very similar to a hydrogel mask. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
R is for rice ๐
Leaders Labotica Skin Soft Mask ~ Rice
Material: Thin cotton
Serum: Clear, watery
Scent: sort of a mix of baby powder and floral, but it was light and not too noticeable while the mask was on.
Fit: Just a little too long at the chin
Wear Time: About a half hour.
Tack: Very light and lasted less than 10 minutes
Results: My face was noticeably brighter and felt soft and smooth and comfortably hydrated.
I wouldn't say this is a favorite, but it did sure do a great job brightening! I'd definitely use again, but the scent is what's holding me back from repurchasing.
Hmmm when I read your scent description it was easy to determine this would be a pass, @Shosh85. Baby powder and oil are a couple of notes I will happily pass!
@eshoe I'm pretty sure I haven't smelled anything like it before. Definitely not my favorite and not what I would expect from a rice mask, but at least it was light!
@Shosh85 baby powder and floral ๐ค I'm very curious
@lmaster Yeah, it definitely had a unique scent!
@Shosh85, great review set up. I love the thin material on these Labotica sheet masks! โค๏ธ I also really like rice as a brightening ingredient. ๐ It's been a while since I used this one; will have to try it again to see about the scent - the combination of baby powder and floral isn't something my nose generally likes so I understand that being a 'no' for you with this mask.
@itsfi I think this is a nice line of masks, but I'd consider them more filler-type. If the scent was just a little better on them they'd be pretty perfect. I definitely loved the brightening effect from this one! ๐
@Shosh85, the longer I mask, or the more masks I try, the category of filler masks expands. I think Iโm getting pickier more highly selective. ๐
@itsfi @heartsmyface EXACTLY! These were some of the first masks I tried and I definitely feel like I liked them a lot more then. Now that I've tried close to 1,000 masks, its getting harder and harder to find ones that really impress me ๐ YES! We sure are masking connoisseurs! Love that!
YES!!!! @heartsmyface @Shosh85 And now I have proof!!! Thank you, hearts!!!
Masking connoisseurs. LOVE it! ๐
Didnโt think I would post this, so no fancy photo. Itโs a three-peat for โRโ
