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 💮

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💗

S is for Sea Buckthorn and soothing. It’s an... earthy sort of scent. But so faint I didn’t care. Fit very well, thin sheet, lots of thin serum my skin soaked up and for extra tattoo love. Overall I’d use it again. Haven’t bought anything for a while and I thought someone said A’pieu discontinued the Skin Fit line? That blows chunks, I liked these suckers. 

 

 

[eshoe]

Ugh that is so disappointing @Weetar! This sounds like a very pleasant mask, at least you were able to enjoy it once☺️

[lmaster]

That's too bad!! @Weetart this one looks interesting 😔

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Glad you enjoyed this one! I feel like I've been hearing about of a lot of things being discontinued - I agree, that definitely blows. Why is it always the things we love?! 😢 

[ShortErica]

It always stinks when things you like are discontinued. Sorry that happened @Weetart

 S for Shame & H for holy cow!

Mini loves poppy & trolls. So weeks ago I almost got the set direct but managed to talk myself out if it due to my current stash size😐 and im so glad I did!

Fit? Such a shame. It was wide & the mask itself was really loose. Like holy cow! What happened? It so stretched out The holes also didn't line up with your eyes, nose so you had to overlap pieces of the mask itself to try to get some use out of it. 

Smell?clean scent + typical sheet mask scent mix

Consistency?thin but not drippy. The mask did have some decoration on it- rainbows, stars & such. I forgot to take a pic 😕

Ease of use? After you maneuver it & tear off the above lip part it stays pretty well but its all bunched together so its a tad annoying. It couldve lasted longer but i removed it at the 20 min mark. 

Would I  purchase/try again? It does give good results my face did have a nice glow & it felt balanced after using. I would skip over this one in particular if i saw it again but i will use up the ones I have 

[eshoe]

Your description has me giggling @sonnydee. How many mask’s fit can be categorized as ‘such a shame’ 😂
Thankfully this one sounds like a pass for me.

[CookieGirl1]

What a bummer that the mask was a partial bust, @sonnydee. The packaging on it is so cute!

[ShortErica]

Darn, that is a big letdown @sonnydee. Hopefully the other ones don't stretch and are cut for a better fit.

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  Well that's too bad! The packaging really gets you excited for it. Does the mask have any kind of print on it?

[sonnydee]

It had little pics on it- rainbow & stars. @Shosh85 

[lmaster]

That is a major shame!!

[sonnydee]

@lmaster agreed. I hope it was just a bad one in the batch or something🤷

[lmaster]

Buddy up with @ShortErica and @Shosh85

This was a gift from the kind hearted @faeriegirl I concur with both reviews. I love the scent of the green tea on this mask. The fit was decent, it could of benefited from some snipping around the eyes. Extra serum in the pouch, wear time was 20 minutes. I felt a lovely cooling sensation while I had it on. To me that was very soothing for my skin. I noticed a bit of hydration, not overly moisturizing however I did feel like it soothed my skin. An excellent choice for summer or after chemical exfoliant.

 

[eshoe]

This was a soothing mask, @lmaster. love you assessment of using post-chemically exfoliating masks!

[lmaster]

That's when I love to use them @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster   Sounds like we all pretty much share the same thoughts and opinions about this one! Definitely a great low-key, soothing mask! 😃

[ShortErica]

Oh yeah, it would be like a lighter version of an aloe soothing mask in the summer @lmaster - good idea!

I think I'm too tired to post the photo I took because it's on a difference device, but just realized I can tag it. SK-II Pitera Mask

I just had to google "pitera" because I have no clue what it is. Apparently some type of yeast/amino acid/fermented ingredient? There was lots of nice serum in the packet. The mask material was quite thick and overall too large for my face. I really liked the serum, so I wish the mask would have fit better because I couldn't get it to fit very closely to my face. My skin must be a bit dehydrated, because it totally soaked up the serum within 15 minutes or so! My face felt nicely hydrated and smooth afterwards. I'm not sure if it was because of the mask or something else, but I put a little foundation on afterwards for a zoom meeting and I had some major pilling issues. Again, not really sure if it can be attributed to the mask, but I think if I were to use it again I would prefer using it at night instead to avoid applying anything over it.

Good to know what you experienced @PrettyPaint 

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Too bad about the pilling and adherence issues, but I'm glad to hear you got some decent results despite that! 😃 I think it's a great idea to use it in the evening instead 👍
