💕😌 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💗

Oh yes, @Shosh85 - I think I ‘Food Fusion’ Crème Shop LE line would be fun!

B is for Be Merry

This was a cute mask, your typical creme shop material with an adorable polar bear face with a Santa hat.          
Fit was long at the chin and the inner eye holes needed snipped.                   
Scent   vanilla but not as strong as I assumed it would be.                         
Serum was clear and bubbly, plenty extra in the sleeve                             
Tackiness I didn't notice any lasting      

Spoiler

final thoughts while it is super cute, I wasn't impressed 😟 I didn't expect much moisturization, but was hoping for a little hydration

[Shosh85]

@lmaster I feel that way about a lot of their character masks - cute but not impressive. I think there's only been two that I'd repurchase. 
It's definitely perfect for the holidays! 😃🎄

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I agree, I feel like they still are cute enough to try when I see a new to me design 🤦

[eshoe]

@lmaster Did you pick up their holiday set? In think I have this one. Will make notes!

[lmaster]

No, this one was in a 3 pack with all the same ones. I believe from marshalls @eshoe 

[eshoe]

Oh good to know @lmaster. I ended up ordering direct for the first time (I REALLY wanted to try the egg nog mask!!!) and bought a multipack. I think this one is in it, though!

[lmaster]

Egg nog mask!!! @eshoe what!!! That sounds awesome

[eshoe]

Doesn’t it, @lmaster?!? I’m not even an egg nog fan, but bought some for Christmas. I haven’t tried it but the family loves it. Maybe I will have a small glass when I am masking to see how true the scent really is😄

[lmaster]

I can't bring myself to drink something called egg nog 😂 @eshoe my mind won't let me get past the matter 😆

[missjeanie]

Super cute print @lmaster , I'm kinda disappointed in a lot of TCS masks lately... but I think I just need to re-catagorize them in my mind.  They're cute for a selfie or to do with the kids (they only leave them on for 5 minutes and then get bored). Or... they're good for those with perfect skin already lol. 

[eshoe]

@missjeanie that’s a mighty fine and accurate assessment 😂

[lmaster]

@missjeanie @eshoe

Yep! Nailed it 😳

[itsfi]

Oh, it's too bad this wasn't a wow @lmaster! It had the makings of a great all around mask, especially if the mask resembled the illustration on the packet.

[lmaster]

@itsfi I know, the cute factor is there 😌 I honestly felt like my HA serum I use was better than what this mask gave me

[itsfi]

Oh, that’s a bummer @lmaster! Do you think this would be better in the warmer months, when hydration, though important, is less so than in the wintertime? I mean, it would be odd if that were the case given the whole Christmas / winter theme to the packaging.

[lmaster]

For my skin right now @itsfi yes, absolutely, this would be better in the warmer months

[missjeanie]

So I did a few sheet masks last week along with a lot of wash offs I want finished up before year end.  I however did forget to take photos as I've been a bit scatter brained between work and holiday hubbub.  The one photo I did remember was one where I spied what @itsfi was using for her mask and decided I could just copy her in lieu of coming up with my own ideas.  Why re-invent the wheel eh?

Spoiler

The Creme Shop Sea Kelp Eye Sheet Mask was lovely.  I've got a couple more of this style and I'll always be open to more of them in my life.  they cover a good chunk of my upper face including my dry under eyes and crows feet area, and totally allow for snackage while you're wearing it.  The mask is actually a bit wide for my face and I needed to fold the edges a bit to avoid getting into my hair.  The eye holes were pretty good, though I did still snip across the bridge of the nose (I do this on about 80% of my masks).  I had it on for maybe 30-40 minutes (I lost track of time).  My skin has been on the crazy dry/dehydrated side of late and this was a lovely post shower boost before I carried on with my skincare.  No tackiness, a good bump in moisture and easy to use.  Twas a win.

 

 

I tried to copy itsfi's flatlay.... lol I have a few masks from various events, alas, I do not have the same photography skills. 

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  Great picture! This line of eye masks are definitely super fun! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😃

[missjeanie]

@Shosh85 I wish more companies would make this shape of mask more often!

[eshoe]

Your mask is adorable @missjeanie @and you tried! Yes, this is pretty one and we would love to see more:)
