💕😌 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💗

@Shosh85  Yay! I definitely need to pick more of these up. I got curious and looked this line up. I think the one I tried was actually called Hanrabong! 

[missjeanie]

@Shosh85 I know I have an icing mask... but is it a watermelon one?  Gonna need to check it out today!

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  It's definitely a deliciously scented line of masks! 😋

[itsfi]

That's a splendid inci list on that sheet mask @Shosh85! I don't know why but I tend to hoard this A'Pieu watermelon sheet mask. Everytime I look at it, I think "ohhhh, you're a good one!" but then I just keep it set aside for a special day. Hmmm.... Gonna have to make some changes there because this one's too good to keep on the sidelines. 😍

The Icing is a great name for a band. I'd buy their record, and merch if they had it. Can you imagine what kind of great merchandise a band named Icing or The Icing could have?! 😆

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yeah, I know what you mean. I generally tend to hoard the good ones too, and this is definitely one of them!

Haha! There are endless possibilities for logo/merchandise with that kind of name! 😂🧁

[eshoe]

This mask is sooooo deliciously yummy, @Shosh85! These are an easy repurchase, and repeat:)

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yes, absolutely! If these ever go oos I'll be very sad! I will definitely repurchase these for as long as I can!

D for Duo & Bananas is a big part of a still catchy song by Gwen Stefani

1st time using the duo....i don't like cleansers i can't use on my eyes.🤷 that is where I wear makeup when I wear makeup so unless this does some shock & awe to my overall face it wont be a purchase. 

On to the mask! 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

Fit?Ok, only some upper lip annoyance. It was pretty wide. Not to much roz

Smell?great. Like 🍌

Consistency?clear, thinnish, silky. 

Ease of use?none really except for the lip part

Would I  purchase/try again? Happy to have found a box at TJ or M. Left this on for about 20 min everything soaked in with only some tack left. But it maybe the duo. And of course finished off with my lano banana 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

 

[lmaster]

Yummy banana!! @sonnydee 

[PrettyPaint]

Mmmmmm @sonnydee. I love that mask - I was lucky to get to try one from MOTM. It's definitely a good one. 

[itsfi]

Fun song, fab mask! Definitely a combo to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S for, @sonnydee! 😉🍌

[eshoe]

Ahhh everyone loves this mask, @sonnydee 🥰 I have one as well that I am ‘saving’ you know how that goes. I haven’t seen that CT, but sounds like a pass. 

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  This is such a nice one - I love that scent! It's hard to go wrong with bananas! 😉🍌

[Kim888]

@sonnydee @lol my mind still plays that song when I have to spell bananas 

[sonnydee]

😂 @Kim888. when I saw what theme this week was, I immediately thought of that song & this mask or the other apieu banana milk mask 🤗but I wanted to try this out.

Opening acts, Melting Sugar and Bite, with Hectic taking the main stage at 8!

What a great theme, thank you @PrettyPaint for giving me an entirely new way to view my masks:) 

The Freeman Melting Sugar Matcha Ice Cream was a gift from @lmaster (thank you kindly!), and was almost too pretty to use. It claims to be pore clearing, and contains both peppermint leaf  and willow bark extract. I did notice a minty scent, which caught me a little off guard as I was half-expecting tea. It was an extremely thick gel, and there was just enough to cover my face. I left it on around 20 minutes, and removed. Very pleasant masking with this one. I enjoy these Freeman masks, and am grateful @sephoraaddict918 shared her love of them here, they are always fun!

The Hectic It’s Pack Time is a repeat, although it’s been awhile. This two part mask has a lotion-like serum underneath a soft mask material that is similar to foot mask booties. It adhered well, one of the rare two part masks that I leave both top and bottom in place the entire duration. I removed after 20 minutes, with no remaining tack. My skin was smooth this morning, so this combo was a hit!

[lmaster]

@eshoe I can so relate to not wanting to use a mask because it's so pretty!! 

[eshoe]

It’s ridiculous, @lmaster! I have to tell myself, just enjoy the mask, silly:D

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Haha. I'm glad the theme wasn't too strange. I was pretty worried about it. These work perfectly for band names!!

That Freeman mask looks nice! And I don't know that I've tried a mask before that had a foot bootie material. Looks like a fantastic combo, and thanks for the lovely photo!

[eshoe]

It’s a great theme, @PrettyPaint! I had so much fun going through my masks to find something that sounded viable, which was so so much fun:) Thank you for sharing, it will be a repeat I look forward to next year, too!

[PrettyPaint]

Awww...thanks so much @eshoe. I'm so glad you had fun.
