💕😌 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  Nice job! Those suckers seem to last forever! 

[lmaster]

@Weetart that's excellent you've been so dedicated!! 

[Weetart]

Thanks @lmaster ! It's definitely been a challenge to not buy... I thought maybe by the end of this year I'd have a more reasonable amount of space and excuse to buy new ones, but I discovered a mini drawer of sample sized ones that I MUST use, so I think I'm going to work through those now... maybe, just maybe I can finish all of the samples sized, deluxe and foils. That might be my year end goal.

S is for summer Friday and soothing (possibly - I think the sheet mask said that haha) 

Spoiler

I don’t know what’s going on my my face and entire body has been so dry lately ! 

So I had tried a couple of samples of the summer Friday jet lag mask and had really good results but for some reason, I’m not seeing the same results with the bigger size. At first I thought I just wasn’t using enough but I tried again today and it just made my skin feel weirdly sticky. 

i enjoyed the sheet mask! Very well saturated and hydrating ! 

 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Awe, it's too bad the FS Jet Lag isn't working out too well for you!  I personally wasn't a fan of it, and returned it after the first couple uses....... maybe I should hunt down a sample to try and see if I like that better 😂😉

[pinyo]

@Kim888  Ooooo How’s the aloe sheet mask serum? I’ve been wanting to try this one. Is it a clear watery serum like the other ones from them? 

[Kim888]

@pinyo yes - it was a clear serum and super saturated. Definitely worth a try!

[ShortErica]

Oh that's a bummer that your experience with the samples is different than the full size @Kim888. Could it be a change of seasons? Hopefully you can get it to work okay or maybe return it. Sticky skin isn't too appealing.

[lmaster]

Have you tried removing the SF with a damp makeup eraser? @Kim888 I find that using those to remove wash off masks really gets any excess off wonderfully

[Kim888]

@lmaster I haven't tried that! I will give that a go!

[lmaster]

@Kim888 oh my gosh,, they are amazing for wash off masks!! Especially charcoal masks too

[Weetart]

Love those lookatme masks! Always a delight. I still have yet to try a summer fridays mask. It’s on the short list after I actually start running out of wash offs. Curious is it a cream texture? @Kim888 

[Kim888]

@Weetart it's like a night cream texture, very smooth

[lmaster]

S for Sephora

This is the only one I've tried so far out of the 3 pack. There was papaya scent detected. Not my favorite of scents because I could smell something else, maybe a clean scent mixed with papaya 🤔 the mask was a medium thickness, but this one was decently saturated with serum so it stayed on well. There was extra serum in the pouch. Wear time was 20 minutes, after removing, my skin felt a bit more hydrated, not much moisturization... And I didn't notice brighter skin at all. No lasting tackiness. Unless the other 2 are incredible, I wouldn't consider repurchasing. 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Awe man, sorry to hear this one was a bit of a bummer! I almost picked this set up - sounds like I'm not missing much so far! I'll be interested to hear what you think of the other two! 😃

[lmaster]

This one was not impressive to me @Shosh85  😔

[ShortErica]

Good luck with the other two 🤞 or maybe not, if your goal might be to not repurchase @lmaster 

[lmaster]

@ShortErica unless they start selling them as singles that probably won't be too tempting to repurchase the set at this point

[Kim888]

Ick that smell does not sound good @lmaster - sorry it was disappointing ! Hopefully the others will be better 

[lmaster]

Yeah it was not what I expected @Kim888 😔

[ShortErica]

Also from last week, figured it isn't in that same line of Mitomo so I'd make a different post, is the Diamond Essence - thanks for sending it to me @eshoe!

My face

Spoiler

Since I forgot to mention it below, eye flaps - oh, I just don't understand. All folded down nicely but I'd rather just have a complete eye hole with no flap. The scent was baby powder with perfume for me. The fit seemed good - less folding and didn't get into my hair. I wore it 30 minutes. Shame on me - I did not look for brightness but the big yes! moment for me was that I had a hard pimple I had popped a few days earlier that left a little red dot by my upper lip that was driving me nuts and after wearing the mask, it looked smaller and less red. A-. I thought my face looked good but I was distracted by other results. I do wish the scent was less prominent on it. I kinda want to try it again and look for brightness. I still have a little extra serum in the pack - perfect for a morning use so maybe I can test if there is radiance from it. I'll share what I find or if someone else has used it, let me know what you saw for results - thanks!
