💕😌 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 you had me sold at "extracts from a creature that inhabits coral reefs" !

[eshoe]

I know, doesn’t it just sound like it would give your skin lots of love, @missjeanie? I haven’t noticed this as an ingredient in beauty products before, now I might make an effort to seek it out.

Ok just did that, and according to INCIDecoder, it is a pretty extensive list, including the NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. Clinique, DDG, Kate Somerville and Paula’s Choice use it frequently (I’m noticing it in many eye products). Good to know!

[missjeanie]

@eshoe that's my eye primer!  lol, I never got the hype for shadow primer when I was using the UD and TF yeaaaaars ago, then I tried a deluxe of the Nars and haven't looked back.  Hmmmm... now I'm going to need to keep an eye out for it!

[eshoe]

That little tube lasts forever, too, doesn’t it @missjeanie? Or maybe mine just does because I have been too lazy to use it much this year:D I did buy a back up, though, so I am ready for the new year!

[missjeanie]

it really does last forever @eshoe .  I bought two tubes last Christmas and with the limited makeup of 2020... I'll be set for the next two years lol!

[eshoe]

Good for you, @missjeanie! I set out on a mission to find my backup today and couldn’t locate it anywhere. Where, or where did I ‘safely tuck it away so as not to forget where I put it’ 🙄?

A is for avocado 🥑

Peripera Smoothie Time Avocado Sheet Mask

This a medium thickness, soft and stretchy cotton sheet mask that was soaking with a milky serum. It had a fresh and clean scent with maybe a hint of something green. It had a good fit and was only a little wide at the temples. It adhered very well and was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. When I removed it I massaged in the remaining serum and wasn't sticky or tacky at all. My face looked noticeably brighter and my skin had a smooth and soft kind of look and feel. The hydration from this was excellent and lasted for most of the day.

I am SO sad these are being discontinued! I'll definitely buy as many as I can before they're gone! 😥

[itsfi]

This avocado 🥑  mask, well, actually, this entire line of masks from peripera, is phenomenal @Shosh85! Thank you for introducing us to these beauties! ♥️ Another A for your masking sesh is for “Ack!” that it’s being discontinued. 😢 There are some things I will just not understand. 😔 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  There's not one mask from this line that I dislike, so of course it's being discontinued! 😢☹️

[itsfi]

That is always the way, isn’t it @Shosh85? 🤦🏻‍♀️

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 this sounds wonderful!! So so sad though!!

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yep, it's always my most favorite things that get taken away! 😢

[WinglessOne]

@Shosh85  I still can't believe Cleo is pulling all these Peripera masks. 😞 I wonder how well the Smoothie Time and Juice Time masks sold in Korea vs. international markets. I realize there are probably larger reasons for the child brand focus shuffle but good grief, so many people I know LOVE these Peripera sheet masks. Cleo could've at least moved them to the Goodal brand, even if it meant renaming them. Sigh. 

I'm glad you're stockpiling them! I have a growing hoard going, too. 🙂 

[Shosh85]

@WinglessOne  I really hoped that they would move them to the Goodal brand, just renamed. It can still happen, right? 🥺

I will definitely continue to hoard these for as long as I can!

[missjeanie]

@Shosh85  lol I can just picture you buying up stock at any and every retailer you can find furiously typing online and checking tracking numbers lol.  I love that they've worked out so well for you, but am sad they're going away. 

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  Haha! I actually did just place another order for them! I do also check the tracking pretty often because it comes from Korea and it makes a little nervous.....How'd you know? 😆😂

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 Wouldn’t it be great if they released an even better version of these masks? I am not sure what they could improve, but one can hope🤷🏻‍♀️

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Unfortunately, Peripera will not be producing masks or skincare at all. 😥 Of course, Peripera just happened to be one of my most favorite mask brands too! 😢

[eshoe]

Of course, @Shosh85!!! Ugh. I do remember now you mentioned they were exiting skincare. What a bummer. I think if Etude House had a line of smoothie masks, with equally delicious scents, they would be a hit. Their masks for and are pretty thin, similar to the Peripera. One can only hope!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe Yep, the parent company of Peripera and Goodal decided that Peripera should focus on makeup and Goodal should focus on skincare. 😥 So I'm really hoping Goodal comes out with masks similar to some of the ones Peripera sold. 🤞

If Etude House came out with smoothie masks, I'm sure I'd love them!

[eshoe]

Oh I am now very curious about the raspberry lemon Goodal mask that @lmaster sent you, @Shosh85. I can’t remember if I’ve used a Goodal sheet mask yet or not, so I will be all ears:)
