💕😌 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💗

@eshoe  It's actually a raspberry-honey mask and I'm super excited to try it!! 🍯

[eshoe]

Quickly catching up, tonight’s masking with AZ.ID lip plumper (ouch) and a cute and Amusingly translated sheet mask:

Spoiler

The AZ.ID lip plumper stings and is an amusing treat when I’m too lazy to use a lip scrub. 

The Leahlani Honey Love mask is a bright berry-hued, thick concoction that applies with reluctance but sticks well. It has an obvious honey scent, blended with other rich oils that lean toward bougie boho. After a few minutes I found it had coagulated on my skin, a bright beet red that looked truly terrifying. So on to the rinsing! Washed off soooo easily, with a little grit that I wasn’t expecting and certainly didn’t feel when applying. The scent when removing was incredibly pleasant and much more fragrant than when I originally applied. A true masking experience that I will repeat in even closer detail.

The Narikiri Face Pack Pompompurin is a ‘Caramel’ mask, and without English translation, provided much entertainment tonight for me. The scent to me was popcorn while the little one thought peanut butter. The fit was decent; print, adorable, and the unusual scent gets high marks obviously 🙌🏼 Likely wouldn’t use again (parabens) but a fun one to try on this night when no one wants to go to sleep and let Santa fill the stockings🎅🏼

Finished the night with #alpyn beauty Calming Sleeping Mask with Melatonin & Wild Dandelion, now time for everyone else to go to 😴sleep:)

@eshoe, Sanrio has so many characters I almost forgot about Pompompurin. Very cute; would have been even better if it smelled like caramel. Here's the ingredients list (in English) for the sheet mask.

from tofucute (dot) com:

Ingredients: Water, glycerin, PEG / PPG-17/6 copolymer, egg yolk extract, milk protein extract, soybean extract, witch hazel water, chamomile extract, aloe vera leaf extract, erythritol, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, arbutin, allantoin, tocopherol acetate, glycyrrhizic acid, xanthan gum, polysorbate 80, EDTA-2, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, perfume

[eshoe]

Kind of an eclectic mix of ingredients, @itsfi; thank you for finding the translation! I think if they could make this one scented as good  as the jelly belly caramel popcorn tastes, it might be yummy enough to try again. I am still highly anticipating @sonnydee’s assessment of her recent A’Pieu popcorn mask 🍿 purchase;)

[lmaster]

That mask is so cute!! @eshoe I was anticipating having to be up all night,,,, but in shock.... The boys were both out cold at 830 🙌  last year one of my boys was pacing the hallways until about 1030 😳

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness @lmaster lucky you! Hopefully you did something fun, like a nice bubble bath or foot masking or just some quiet time to yourself☺️

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  The Leahlani mask sounds wonderful! I'm sure the scent alone would make me want to buy it!

The sheet mask is one I've never seen before and certainly sounds interesting! Whether it's popcorn or peanut butter, both are a very unique scent for skincare! I guess that's the closest they could get to caramel. Haha!🍿🥜 

[eshoe]

The Leahlani was good enough for me to order the mini masking set @Shosh85. I believe you’ve tried the Mermaid Mask? It is included with one other mask, each 15ml. Which is actually perfect for a natural mask, so it hopefully does not expire before finishing a jar. 

I think a salted PB and bacon mask might be fun to try. Or maybe I am just hungry ☺️

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Oh my gosh, I totally forgot they have minis now! Yes, that sounds like a perfect size! I did really like the Mermaid Mask and the Honey one that comes in the set looks good too! 😃

Hmmm, I think I'd be down to try a salted PB and bacon mask! 😂

[eshoe]

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

[lmaster]

B is for Be Merry

 

Spoiler

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 😂
