💕😌 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?

@lmaster I want to smell it!!

[itsfi]

Aren’t these masks great @lmaster?!! It’s making me want an actual blueberry smoothie. 😋

[lmaster]

@itsfi ohhhhh these are so good!!! Why oh why!!

[itsfi]

I know, right @lmaster! 😠 Makes me wonder if we said they were just “meh” if they’d manufacture them in mass?! 🤨 I mean of all the sheet masks to discontinue?!! Baffling. Utterly baffling.

B is for Brightening and Bemliese

Spoiler

Inna Organic Neroli Brightening Facial Mask is the last of the masks from this line I had left to try. The 100% cotton linter Bemliese material leans on the thinner side as far as sheet mask density goes and has a light tan hue to it, which is attributable to the cotton being unbleached. The essence is on the watery side, but because of how absorbent the material is, there's no dripping, and it smells like a mix of neroli oil, and something citrusy as well as a sharp and herbaceous scent that I'm not able to pinpoint. It's not my favorite scent but it dissipates quickly. I left the mask on for my usual half hour but could have kept it on longer, maybe another 20, possibly 30 minutes longer actually; there's a lot of essence in this one. As for the results, well, they weren't kidding with the brightening claims. My complexion looked dewy and bright. My skin felt nourished as well after the essence was completely absorbed. Having tried all the masks from this line, this brightening mask and the mattifying one are my favorites. ❤️

Love it when a mask lives up to it's claims @itsfi !

[itsfi]

Exactly @missjeanie; exactly!! 😍 These Inna Organic masks are good. And, the brand also makes serums that appear to be based on the serums in the sheet masks. Oh yes, you know what that means. A future skincare purchase is practically inevitable! 😆 My “no buy” plans seem to have already turned into a “low buy” and it’s not even 2021 yet. 😂😔 

[quspork]

Sounds like some great results, @itsfi!

[itsfi]

I was very pleasantly surprised @quspork! Dewy, glowy and nourished skin! ♥️

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Besides the scent it sounds just about perfect! Love the results you got from this one! 😃

[itsfi]

This line was pretty good @Shosh85. 😃 I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised. It seems that most, if not all, Taiwanese masks I’ve used have worked very well for my skin. Curating staples for my mask library is going to be harder than I thought it would be, and I hardly thought it would be a piece of cake.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Ooh I like the sounds of this one! I love Neroli scents. 

[itsfi]

@Samtian, if it were just the neroli I smelled, I would have been happy. There's something sharp in there that makes the fragrance less great than it could be, but that part doesn't linger so much which is good.

[Samtian]

@itsfi That's good that doesn't linger!

[lmaster]

@itsfi nice! Love a nice glowy complexion 😊

[itsfi]

Right @lmaster? This would be a great mask to use before makeup. 

[heartsmyface]

I haven’t been masking much lately but here’s hoping I can hop back into it.  
i decided to go for the Rodial dragons blood  biocellulose eye and lip patches.  Dragons blood is supposed to be anti microbial and antibacterial as well as a good second skin barrier.  I absolutely love how the patches just disappear onto my skin cause they’re so thin and clear.  They come between two protective layer of paper so they’re not too difficult to work with.  But if you accidentally fold one like I did good luck;) It was actually hard to capture them in a photo But you can sorta see them.  There’s a little mouth slit on the lip mask so you’re not forced into silence for 20 minutes.  The serum has no real scent and is a bit tacky.  It really plumped you my skin but again, I haven’t been doing skincare or caring much at all for my skin so doing anything at all is going to show drastic results.

@heartsmyface  Oooh, those look so comfy! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed them! 😃

PS: I love that dragon plush! 🐉 

[lmaster]

These look really nice @heartsmyface I'll have to check this line out

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Ooh those sound good. 

[itsfi]

These look and sound fabulous @heartsmyface! 😍 They really look like they melt into your skin! Love the line about not being forced into silence. lol. What a fun and adorable plushie too!
