💕😌 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💗

@lmaster  I’ll keep happily using the Annie’s way for the yummy scents alone! They totally make the experience for me! 

[ShortErica]

Yeah, the no thinking masks are moving up my personal rank @missjeanie. I still want to be cautious of 10 packs but it's great to discover our preferences with all this masking. Great job on your 2 a days!

[missjeanie]

Right @ShortErica I'm hoping no one takes my 'no thinking masks' as a bad thing.  I see them as an easy option when I look at a totally overwhelming collection where I know I'll be happy.

 I've used another 1 of these masks -it had different botanicals...but that one had Undesirable effects on my eyes. It may them sting so Ive been hesitant to use again but...did anyway. 😑

Fit?not bad, usual extra in the chin. (I'm going to think of a cute name for that...make it more entertaining🤔) i did end up ripping the above lip part in half, it was falling down into my mouth. 

Smell?faint tea tree. 

Consistency?thin, clear serum. Saturated enough that it did run into the corner of my eye from the mask 😬 but luckily no sting

Ease of use?no issues after I ripped away the lip part

Would I  purchase/try again? This was expired, but still smelled ok so I used it anyway. TT is good for blemishes which i currently have on my jaw line- & it seemed to help calm every thing. & soaked in without tack. I wonder if it was fresher would of it had stung like the other one? 🤔 but either way this one was a good calming mask. 💚💚💚💚💚 if I got it in my ipsy again. I would use it, sooner than later🤗 

Mamonde lip sleeping mask in plum blossom. Smells good, good hydration but woke up with a lil itty bitty dream killer right by my lip. 😳 so will use again to see if it caused or this sample will be finished off during the day. 

[eshoe]

I’ve wanted to try that Mamonde @sonnydee  but didn’t want to spend the $ unless it had a plummy scent. A dream killer, though? Did it cause peeling?

[sonnydee]

No, no peeling just that lil pesky whitehead that is nonsense really. Ya know the kind that pops immediately & its done & over with. Usually happens when something was just a lil too much-oily, thicker serum- for my skin. Hence the name, dream killers 😑 I used it again last night with no issues @eshoe it does have a scent to it. I looked it up: 

Plum blossoms are very fragrant with a scent described as spicy, sweet and flowery. The blossoms are entirely edible. 

I agree with this description, it's fruity but also tart think pomegranate. They have a pomegranate one that I'm pretty tempted to get even though I don't need anymore lip masks. 😊They are not as thick as og bite but thicker than laneige

[eshoe]

Yikes I’ve never heard that term but it’s funny and I know exactly what you are talking about @sonnydee! It does sound like one I should try, when I finally use up my Bite and Laneige stash. The never-ending masks.

[sonnydee]

It's one I made up @eshoe that or dk. I want to think of a name for the extra part of the mask that is forever on the chin area. .....🤔 gotta think on it.

[eshoe]

Yes I’d love to hear what you come up with @sonnydee 😉

[sonnydee]

Its weird but this character from monsters inc, comes to mind....😂😂😂 @eshoe so Roz?

 

[eshoe]

Ummmm, yes, @sonnydee 😆

[lmaster]

Is that like a sample lip mask? @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

Yeah, it is 1 that's featured in the ulta mask must haves masking set. I hauled it fairly recently - this month, 🤔 looking for my pic....there it is! It has some new to me, some different...tula is in there. @lmaster 

 

[lmaster]

@sonnydee that's a cool set!!

[missjeanie]

@sonnydee so glad this one didn't sting your eyes!  

[sonnydee]

Me too! 🤗 but it very well could be the scent & oils were diluted at this point. Still smelled ok, so I gave it a go! 😉 @missjeanie I have 1 more that came in the set from ipsy. I have a bin that I started this month, placing the ones that need to be gone now & I'm trying to empty that before the new year. So I may not be able to go with the theme each week 🤷 but I'm killing my stash. 

[missjeanie]

@sonnydee the 'needs to go now' bin sounds like a good idea.  

[sonnydee]

Shouldve started it sooner @missjeanie 

 

[missjeanie]

Lol... @sonnydee  you’re telling me! I feel like even attempting to get a ´use now, these are going to expire soon’ may be a grand undertaking over here that I’m just not mentally prepared for lol! You’re a step ahead!  

[sonnydee]

Oh don't kid yourself @missjeanie the ones that are in my use now are already expired 😂 they are upright, the ones that I want to use-fit the week theme, look interesting, etc. they are in there too but on their side. I'll take a pic when I can...😉

[missjeanie]

@sonnydee This just made my day!  I'm not afraid of an expired mask either lol
