[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 💮

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💗

You're right @itsfi  *****removes from cart*** I needed someone to tell me that lol

[itsfi]

Ha! @missjeanie, another hair mask I can help talk someone out of picking up. Not purchasing another lip balm? That's a different story. We may need to get someone else to help you with that! 🤣

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oooh, what a great theme! All these products are loves for me as well! 😍🍯

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the sheet mask! I agree it was nice, just not $50 nice. Honestly, I'm not sure there could be any sheet mask I would think is worth $50. 🤔 The first time I used it, I didn't read the instructions (of course) and didn't wash it off.   🤷🏻 Wash off sheet masks are definitely not my favorite.... it just doesn't seem right. lol. 😂

[itsfi]

Yeah @Shosh85, for $50 a pop, it needs to firm, tighten, lift, clear, nourish and make my face look airbrushed, and all that without having to rinse off the serum. At the very least. And that's before we even get to the dinner criteria @missjeanie talked about - oh, that had better be some dinner, too! 😂

B is for B12

Spoiler

The Creme Shop B12 Complex Face Mask

This is a medium thickness cotton sheet mask that was saturated with serum and had a fresh & clean/floral kind of scent. It had a typical Creme Shop fit - too long, too wide and the space between the eyes was too wide. This one also had eye flaps. Despite the big fit it adhered well and was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. There wasn't any tackiness after removing. My face felt soft and smooth and maybe just lightly hydrated, but that's about it.

This one was pretty unimpressive and I wouldn't repurchase.

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, 

Me before reading your review on this one: "hmmm, I don't think I have this one." 🤔

Me after reading your review on this one: "yeah, I won't need to pick up this one." 

This sounds like it might have been fine, maybe even a good mask, if you haven't been using sheet masks for a while. 😆 The shosh85 seal of approval (or lack thereof) makes for an excellent roadmap when it comes to my future sheet mask purchases! 🤗 Looks like I'll just stick to my supplements to get in my B12. 😉

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Haha! Yeah, I've definitely gotten more picky about masks!  I wouldn't say this one was bad at all, it just really didn't seem to do much of anything. Kinda felt like a wasted a half hour. 😂

[missjeanie]

Well.. you just saved me 10$ @Shosh85 .  Lol... every now and again I look at TCS masks again and think that I have enough of them already, but then other times I'm on a "gotta try em all" race.  

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  I totally know what you mean! The Creme Shop masks are so hit-and-miss and yet I just can't keep myself from buying them. 🤷🏻😬 

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  This was really a neat theme this week. Thanks so much for thinking of it! 

I didn't have to search in my stash too much, but I felt this one fit the artistic theme nicely.

NOHJ 24K Gold Mask - Peptide.

I used this earlier in the week, so I unfortunately can't remember all of the details. I believe there was a bit of a floral smell, but nothing too terrible. The actual mask was lovely, and it seemed hydrating. While wearing it, I felt like my skin felt the tiniest bit itchy (it could be from the lavender or lemon extract), but honestly it could just be my skin. If I'm feeling anxious, my skin tends to freak out in general. That being said, I would have liked to have kept it on longer, but I removed it a bit sooner than usual just in case. 

[quspork]

So pretty, @PrettyPaint - it's a shame it caused a little itchiness. 

[PrettyPaint]

@quspork  Yes - so fancy! I am prone to itchiness, so I imagine most people would be totally ok. 

[Kim888]

@PrettyPaint @Thats disappointing to hear! I do have this in my collection so I’ll be sure to be pay extra attention when I try it !!

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  I wouldn't be too worried about it, but I'll be curious to hear your thoughts. My skin is extra sensitive this time of year and when I'm stressed, so I anticipate you'll be totally fine. 🙂

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Oooh, this one's so fancy! I'm happy it turned nice despite the itchiness! 😃

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks so much @Shosh85. It was a nice treat.

[missjeanie]

Thats one classy looking mask @PrettyPaint !

[PrettyPaint]

@missjeanie  Haha! I know. I felt like I should be going out somewhere afterwards. In reality I just stayed home in yoga pants.

[tjffc]

@PrettyPaint What a gorgeous mask!   I'm glad to hear it was hydrating. 

[PrettyPaint]

@tjffc  Thanks so much! I always get excited when a mask has a print. 

[itsfi]

Now, that is an artistic mask @PrettyPaint! Gorgeous!! 😍 Sorry it gave your skin the itchies. Hopefully no other adverse effects from it.
