💕😌 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💗

 G for Green tea

Fit?one of the better fitting CS masks. Almost perfect

Smell?maybe like a sweet green tea? It was pleasant to me & I don't like green tea so i think if it was a true GT scent....i would not have lasted long at all🤧

Consistency?almost soapy, you heard & saw lil bubbles when you moved the mask or pouch around. The serum was clear & the mask was saturated nicely, but no extra in the pouch 

Ease of use?no issues. I think I wore this about 30 min. I took it off when it started drying out. 

Would I  purchase/try again? Absolutely! I even checked to see if I had more. 😳 I don't. 😞Everything soaked in almost immediately without tack. My skin looked matte aka good! But was still soft. 💚💚💚💚💚 really enjoyed this freebie from a CS order. 

[eshoe]

I wonder if the bubbles are form the glycerin @sonnydee (if that ingredient is in it). Nice freebie! I’ve yet to order direct form them, nice they threw in a little freebie for you👍🏼😊

[sonnydee]

They throw in about 2-3 free masks with your order @eshoe just some that are about to expire. Not going to complain, I'll take free masks. Will check ingredients, im so bad about taking pics of those😣

[lmaster]

You have the best collection of these fusion masks @sonnydee so many I've never seen before

[sonnydee]

Thanks @lmaster I do love the fusion line! 💚💚💚💚

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee Happy to hear this turned out nice for you!  It's been awhile since I've tried this one, but I remember really liking it too!

[sonnydee]

I think they discontinued this one 😥@Shosh85 they dont have it on their site. 

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee Well, I wouldn't be surprised. 😕 It seems like all the good stuff gets discontinued. 👎

Glossy and Glossier masking for last night:

Spoiler

The Nuori Supreme Moisture Mask is a repeat, and a current go-to for masking I don’t have to think about; I can forget I’m wearing it. It absorbs completely after around 25 minutes, but I still rinse my face before moving in to a sheet mask. I applied a little of the Glossier balm dotcom, which seems more like an all-purpose deep conditioning salve than a lil gloss to me. It is very similar (though slightly thicker) than the Innisfree balms in consistency, for reference.

The Whamisa Organic Seeds Hydro Gel mask is one I’ve been eyeing for awhile, so I was very excited to try it. 

This was easily the thinnest hydrogel I’ve ever tried, tucked inside a single protective layer. The pale translucent citrine-hued mask has a faint, soft scent of marigolds, lightly herbaceous and gently similar to Kiehl’s Calendula toner. The fit was near perfect, and for a hydrogel, adhered exceptionally well. It wore more like a biocellulose, in fact. I left it on for at least a half an hour; both parts! Usually the bottom half is removed after a few minutes out of frustration. Not the case with this one. After removing, zero tackiness. My skin looked fresh and slightly plumped. There are a couple of other masks in this line that I hope to try; organic fruits and organic flowers. This is a definite repurchase!

@eshoe what a lovely masking session!  Everything looks like it all came together for a wonderful session. 

[eshoe]

I would like to pick up more of this mask, but unless they go on sale, will limit myself to trying the other versions for now @missjeanie. It’s unfortunate because it was so good, my skin looooved it!

[ShortErica]

@eshoe your masking session reads like a dream, can you rewrite 2020 for us? 😂 But seriously, those masks sound awesome!

[eshoe]

@ShortErica if only ☺️

I just noticed you can see the mask in the Ingredient photo; the yellow shows through the packaging. It’s great but something in the future I would use for a special occasion as I’m pretty frugal when it comes to masks. $6 for a single use, I just don’t know...

[ShortErica]

Yep, that's definitely spendy @eshoe

[lmaster]

Love those thin hydrogel masks @eshoe 

[eshoe]

This was the thinnest, @lmaster! I wish they were less, I cringe at spending more than a few $ on a mask🤨

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I've never heard of Whamisa

but this mask sounds wonderful! I'll have to add this to my list - do you remember where you bought it?

[eshoe]

I think you would really like this one, @Shosh85. I found it on iHerb, they have the other two I mentioned as well. They carry a variety of k-beauty masks & other products, and ship fast!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Good to know! I'm pretty sure I've bought something from that site before 🤔😂

[quspork]

The Whamisa mask sounds really lovely, @eshoe!

[eshoe]

It really was, @quspork. I’ve been interested in calming/soothing masks more recently, and this one fit the bill nicely 👍🏼
