💕😌 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💗

@Shosh85 @itsfi I knew it!!! It was the water pocket mask that I liked, I had a feeling it was this line you contacted 😆

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Hahaha! Great memory! 👍

I had also contacted When Beauty about their masks more recently, so I wasn't sure if that's what you were remembering 😉

[itsfi]

Maybe we just start saying how much we don’t like a certain mask @Shosh85?? Then it’ll be around forever!! 😂 At first I wondered whether it was going to be repackaged ... because there were questions about the packaging with certain parts being covered by removable stickers. 😳 Then I saw on the brand’s site what appears to be 2 new sheet masks. Hmmm... 🧐 

ETA: odd if it is being discontinued because this is a fairly new line. This one expires later this year and I have another varietal that expires in early 2022.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yes, from now on when we love a mask, we should instead say how much we hate it - then maybe it'll stick around longer ... great idea Fi! 😆

So weird about the Laneige masks! I really have no idea what's going on with them and haven't got an answer that made sense.

...... but speaking of discontinued- have you noticed Too Cool For School doesn't sell their coconut line anymore? ....Which makes me super sad because the Coconut Ceramide one was my all-time favorite - I even remember picking it up from Sephora a few times. 😢They have some new ones now, but darn it, I loved that Coconut Ceramide! 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I love that coconut ceramide mask as well. A favorite. ❤️ I have one, maybe two, left with a 2021 expiration date. I will be savoring those 2 uses.

E is for Egg 🥚 🍳

Too Cool For School Egg Cream Mask

Material:

Medium thickness cotton

Serum:

Milky

Scent:

Sort of a combo of clean & fresh and floral? It was light and I thought it was pleasant enough

Fit:

Just a bit long at the chin

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

Very light tack and it only stuck around for about 5 minutes

Results:

My face looked a little brighter and felt soft and nicely hydrated.

Repurchase?

Yes, absolutely! Just maybe not at retail price, because I'm too cheap to spend $6 on one mask 😉😂

Ingredients:

@Shosh85 I might just be the lone voice of dissent on this one! Too sticky-icky for me 😂 The Egg Mellow Cream Moisturizer is 👍🏼, if you get a chance to try it sometime.

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I remember you mentioning that about this one! 😂 Good to know about the moisturizer - will have to give it a try sometime👍

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   These were my first absolute favorite mask!  I love how slimey and effective they are.  They’re hard to find this side of the ocean nowadays. Where do you get them over here?  And yeah, agreed $6 is a little steep.  I know theyre only $4 in Japan and Korea so I have a hard time swallowing the markup. 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  "Slimey and effective" is a perfect description!👌It is soo good! The very first time I tried it, I was lucky and found them at TJ Maxx, but that was awhile ago and haven't seen them there since then. I got this one online from the RoseRoseShop (in Korea) and even with their shipping prices, it still came out to be cheaper than retail.

[lmaster]

Totally love this one too 🙌 @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Glad to hear you love it too! Definitely seems to be pretty popular around here! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 I love the egg cream stuff!

[eshoe]

@Samtian this mask is the equivalent to an avocado one for you 😝 it is sooooo slimy!

[Samtian]

@eshoe Ahahahaha.

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  I can see why! Haven't tried anything else from the line, but would definitely like to! 😃

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 this is one of my faves as well!! Always a repurchase for me 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  I can definitely see why it's one of your favorites! It's so good! 😃

[itsfi]

This is such a good mask @Shosh85! I was bummed when Sephora stopped carrying TCFS. 😞 For sheet masks, what price range is the most comfortable for you?

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Don't get me wrong, I have definitely splurged on some expensive masks, but I think now that my collection is so huge, it's hard for me to spend more than $3 on one. Maybe when/if I get my collection under control I'll feel better about spending a little more. 😉

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   $3 sounds about right for solid cotton or tencel sheet masks.  If it’s biocellulose I am happy to spend between $6-10 but I’d rather buy them in packs of 4-10 to get a deal.  I splurge mostly when travelling cause I can rationalize it’s part of the travel expenses 🙂
