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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
Wow I fit the theme this week! Can I have some more please, and Charcoal.
First up this honey mask! When I put it on I actually smelled honey for .2 seconds, it was heaven. Can I have some more of this mask please haha.
Secondly the Sephora Charcoal nose strip, I included the pic because it made me laugh. I have to put them on without my glasses and I botched this one. I can't reach the mirror so I have to just say 1, 2, 3 go! It didn't seem like it picked much up, and my nose was super oily a few hours afterwards...but I did use a new moisturizer so I'll have to test and see which one it was. It wasn't as oily in the morning. It didn't get super painfully dry like the other kinds of nose strips.
Ah, nose strips! Good reminder @Samtian; I should do one tonight or tomorrow. I may recreate your mask duo here and use my Lapcos Honey mask as well. ๐
@Samtian That Honey mask is a favorite of mine! Happy to hear you loved it too! It's hard to go wrong with honey! ๐ฏ๐
The honey mask sounds nice, @Samtian. The nose strip pic does give me a chuckle ๐ Hopefully you can figure out whether it was the strip or the moisturizer that caused the oiliness.
@quspork I'm glad! I think it was both of them. The moisturizer makes my nose oily but not as much as when I did the strip too. So I think both.
@Samtian that is one of the best honey masks,,,imo ๐
@lmaster Ooh really?! I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for more.
Ha ha so you like honey masks, @Samtian? I think they are a universal favorite ๐ฅฐ Itโs also hard to top Biorรฉ.
@eshoe I like honey everything lol. Even named my business after it.
Are you still doing photography @Samtian?
C is for Caolion and Cleanse
This mask is pretty neat. Itโs a sheet mud mask and quite literally the easiest mess free mud mask application Iโve ever experienced. Itโs a two piece mask which smells like clay (no surprise) with a little green tea trying to mask it but not successfully. This is a dry down mask which I donโt normally gravitate towards. You can feel the drying occurring within minutes. The mask fits alright. Itโs a bit long in the forehead and nose so I folded it down to fit me better. It says to leave it on between 20-40 minutes and then to rinse off. I left it on for 20 minutes cause I didnโt want to wait for it to dry down completely. My skin felt smooth soft, refreshed and firm but was in near immediate need of hydration. Iโm suggesting this one for more oily skin or if youโre feeling the need for a deep resetting cleanse.

I just jotted the following note on the one I have - โuse when youโre oily. @heartsmyface said so.โ ๐ Looks like a warm weather mask for me then. โ๏ธ
I can't remember if I tried this green one @heartsmyface I know I have tried one from this line and liked it, you're definitely right, I tend to lean oily in the summer and it was perfect for that time of year
@heartsmyface Definitely sounds better suited for oily skin, but I'm glad it turned out decent for you! ๐
Hmmm Iโve tried the pink one, and liked it @heartsmyface - but I think that was more of a hydrating one. Clay sheet masks are a good trade-off for a messy sink;)
@heartsmyface A mud sheet mask? That sounds interesting.
1This was for B week, but it works for C week too ๐ Pulled this one out of Masks On The Move!
Bath & Body Works Mud Mask
This is a two piece cotton mud mask that was sandwiched between two protective layers and was completely caked/saturated with a slightly tacky chocolatey-brown mud. ....and speaking of chocolate, that is exactly what this mask smelled like! Holy cow it smelled SO good! It literally felt like I was wearing a sheet of chocolate on my face. Application was a little messy and I ended up with the brown mud all over my fingers. It had a nice fit - not quite wide enough and the nose flap was a little too long. I removed the mask after about a 20 minutes, when it started feeling dry and stiff to the point it was hard to move my face around. Removing it was almost like removing a peel-off mask, just not as painful. ๐ There was some dried "mud" leftover on my face that I rinsed off easily with warm water. My face looked brighter and my skin felt soooo soft and smooth. I felt a little dry and had to place moisturizer right away, but I usually expect that with mud/clay type masks. The mask was fun to use, smelled amazing and gave pretty great results! If Bath & Body Works was still selling this mask I would definitely repurchase! I am SO happy I got the chance to try it out again!

It feels like itโs been forever since Iโve stepped foot inside a B&BW so I donโt know, are they still stocking sheet masks? I know their sheet mask selection was constantly in rotation but Iโm not sure if they still carry them. Hmmm ๐ค. Ever since you started reviewing their masks, Iโve always felt that B&BW needed a section titled โ@Shosh85โs favoritesโ or that they bring your faves back and make them a permanent part of their collection. โฅ๏ธ
