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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a 💰mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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💗
Hmmmmm this is a new one, @PrettyPaint and I have to agree, thank goodness it wasn’t authentically scented! Going to have to seek this one out, the brand is generally a good fit and even better results 👍🏼
@eshoe It was a much nicer experience than is probably depicted on the packaging. There is also a kombucha one in this line!
I think both of them are going on my to-do list, @PrettyPaint. 2021 isn’t too far away, and I would like to go into it a little prepared. Always need a few unusual masks on hand:)
@PrettyPaint Yeah, I can't say the packaging is too attractive, but it definitely sounds like it turned out great! .... and I'm happy it didn't smell like fermented cabbage 😂
@Shosh85 Yup - I like to eat it, but I don't think I'd want it all over my face (especially in the morning)!
@PrettyPaint, this mask sounds amazing!!! 😍 I love kimchi! 💖 Interestingly, I'm having kimchi for an afternoon snack right now!!! Nom, nom, nom 😋
@itsfi Oh yum! That looks really good - and super good for you too!
Ohhhh... I didn't at first glance think I had any quickie masks but I have both of these ones. I might need to do a copy cat masking @itsfi ! I actually think I bought the SC stick mask twice at your suggestion (yet again I'd forgotten I already had one).
“yet again I’d forgotten I already had one.” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Ohhh @missjeanie, I’m laughing because I know completely what you mean. It’s gotten better recently for me - I’m sure the low / no mask helps 😝, but there was a stretch where I’d discover multiples of certain sheet masks in my stash. So many times, too many times really, when I didn’t realize I had purchased the same one(s) again and again ... and it was not because I had purchased a box of them. 🤦🏻♀️😆
Oooh, if you do use the masks, I’d love to hear your thoughts on them. No pressure though; I know there are a lot of masks to get through. So many masks, so little time; and just one face. 😆
@itsfi I just did it earlier yesterday! I had a MAC eyeliner in my cart ready to go... I already own it. I've come close on several occasions the last couple of years lol... I'm trying to wait until sales to make purchases and force myself to look through my collection before ordering for a bit. Hopefully it'll keep too many doubles down. I think this mask set will be done tomorrow! I'll tag you for sure.
@missjeanie, completely understand! For most of this year, I've tried to limit my purchases to ones that I could do with gift cards, rewards points, etc. even if it was on my list of things I planned for. That's worked mainly for a few stores. I've managed to spend less on certain products as a result of some low / no buys during the year, but then again, I've probably spent more on things in certain other categories 🤣 so hopefully it's a wash. 🤞 Shopping my stash, project pan, etc. have helped with whittling down what I have.
@itsfi so so happy to see it's a favorite!! I personally love both of these Spirulina masks 🙌
These spirulina masks are great @lmaster! Thank you again for sharing your like of the spirulina version of the sheet mask. I wouldn’t have moved to pick it up and use it as soon as I did if it was not for your feedback on it. 😃
It'll be interesting to see if the stick masks get a new "clean" version in the upcoming months, @itsfi. Glad to hear the spirulina sheet mask performed well!
Agree @quspork! 👊🏼 I’m very interested to see what if anything else will be introduced as part of the Sephora “clean” line, skincare and makeup wise. Not sure if there are plans to bring back these mask sticks. 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve heard / read mixed reviews on them; which isn’t necessarily uncommon for any product, but these didn’t seem to have as much traction as I thought they might.
@TeamBIC, any word (that you can share) on whether these mask sticks will be reformulated and made part of the new “clean” line?
@Shosh85 @lmaster
@itsfi the stick mask sounds similar to the exfoliating balms by Sephora as well. It sounds like a very pretty mask; the Crayola Cornflower crayon is such a soothing hue, and it was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned the shade:)
Good ol’ Crayola crayons @eshoe. 🖍 The primer for most of us when it comes to all the different color variations out there.
@itsfi The Spirulina mask is one of the few "clean" masks I picked up, so I'm super happy to hear you enjoyed it!
It's a bummer the stick is/will be discontinued! It didn't even seem like it was around for too long! 😳
@Shosh85, I haven’t made my way through all the masks in the clean line yet. I think I will try to get to all of them but I’m not rushing it. I think maybe that’s a sign of age? 😂 I’m finding the longer I’ve been masking, the more inclined I am to better pace myself with trying all the different masks out there. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still like “ooooh, maaaasks!!!” 😍 I think I’m just more content with repeating ones I know work well for my skin and being more deliberate when it comes to picking and choosing what new masks I want to try next.
