[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 💮

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💗

Thanks, @ather!

[PrettyPaint]

@quspork  TM is a funny one for me as well. There are some lines that I enjoy and fit decently, but others that are completely off. I've always been surprised at how different some of their masks are.

[quspork]

It was certainly nice to see a good one from the brand, @PrettyPaint 

[lmaster]

@quspork I've always liked the kina masks, I found a pack at tj maxx awhile back,, hopefully they can get some at marshalls 😌

[quspork]

It's always nice when good masks show up at TJs or Marshalls, @lmaster. Who doesn't love a good deal?!

[haleyvvvv]

Booooo to discontinued good masks, @quspork!! The Kina one looks interesting and so nice to hear about a good Tony Moly sheet mask!!

[quspork]

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a possible restock on the ginseng, @haleyvvvv - ya never know! 

[Shosh85]

@quspork  Why is it always the masks we love the most that get discontinued?! I hate when that happens! ☹️

I feel the same way as you about Tony Moly masks, but I do remember liking that one as well! 😃

[quspork]

Every time, @Shosh85 every time- that's part of why I stay so fickle with a lot of masks. You get attached and then bam- discontinued!

[eshoe]

Great strategy @quspork, because it is so true!

[itsfi]

@quspork, I completely agree with you on that Dewytree ginseng mask! ♥️ Masksheets dot com occasionally restocks masks from that Dewytree line. 

Yaaay! 🙌🏼 I’m happy to hear the TonyMoly snail mask was a win for you! I’m not always the biggest fan of TM sheet masks but the gastropod 🐌 was calling me. 😂 I wasn’t expecting much from the mask when I first picked it up (even though the sales associate was raving about it) so I only grabbed one ... and then after I tried it and realized what a fabulous mask it was, I waited for months for the boutique to restock it! I didn’t take any chances and grabbed a handful for myself and for gifts. I was really pleasantly surprised by how well it performed! 😍😍

[quspork]

@itsfi The TM was a very pleasant surprise. Thanks again for sending it my way! 

[Shosh85]

Going with the number theme and using my favorite mask from the Etude House 0.2 Therapy Air line. 🐌

Spoiler

Etude House 0.2 Therapy Air Snail Mask

This is a thin-medium cotton sheet mask that was fully saturated with white, milky serum - which surprised me a little because I've ever used a snail mask with that kind of serum. It had a light, clean & fresh scent that was barely noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was a little wonky - a tiny bit too long at the chin/jawline, slightly too wide at the temples, and the eye holes were way too big. Despite having to smoosh and tweak things a little, it adhered very well and was comfortable to wear. I had it on for about a half hour. There wasn't any tackiness after removing and my face felt moisturized and plump, and my skin felt soft & smooth and had a nice dewy glow.

I really enjoy this one and will probably always try to have them on hand!

@Shosh85  Oooo I love a good snail mask!! Too bad it fit wonky tho. 

[Shosh85]

@ather  Yep, me too! Snail is probably one of my most favorite ingredients in skincare and this mask does not disappoint! It's always nice when a mask fits well, but a bad fit is never a deal breaker for me, since there's always something you can do to fix/tweak it. 😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 stellar results here!!

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Definitely stellar! Love that snail slime! 🐌😃

[itsfi]

You don’t even know how big of a grin I had when I saw this snail mask photo @Shosh85. 🐌 🐌 🐌 Well, then again, I think maybe you would know! 😆 Yes about the wonky fit. But it’s such a good mask - soft, thin mask with gastropod goo-rific results! 🤣 Love it! ♥️

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Haha! "Gastropodic goo-rific" is a perfect description!  😆😂🐌

[itsfi]

What do you think our chances are of getting it into the dictionary @Shosh85? 😆 I mean, we’d have to use it in everyday talk a lot ...

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Well, "twerk" made it into the dictionary, so why not? 😜
