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
@itsfi I've totally lusted after the Dr. strum and Dr. roebucks because they both have anti-pollution serums I find interesting but they are so price-y.
The coola 360 sundrops say they help with blue light and pollution. I actually really liked the product, but found it went bad too quickly and I don't love the dropper as a dispensing tool.
Completely with you on both Dr. Sturm and Dr. Roebuck's @Kim888! They are definitely pricey! Aurelia and Allies of Skin also have some skincare items that look interesting.
E is for Essential and the Purity Peel
โ
@Kim888 I've wondered about that peel - good to know I'm not missing anything. ๐ Glad to hear the sheet mask turned out great!
The sheet mask sounds lovely! @Kim888
I havenโt heard of that vitamin C peel, @Kim888; I will have to check that one out! Also added the Lala Chu to my to-do;)
@Kim888, I've always wondered about that Philosophy peel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it; I can pass on it now. Those are some great results from the sheet mask; white truffle sounds like such a luxe ingredient too!
Another number mask from last week:
@itsfi I remember these!! I think I tried a different version
@lmaster, do you remember the color of the mask packet? I know that there were a lot of us that liked either No. 4 or No. 5 - hydrating, moisturizing ... a dream for those of us with dry skin.
@itsfi I'm thinking it was purple or pink ๐ค
@itsfi I really liked this line and had no idea it was discontinued! I guess I'm not too surprised. Glad this one could help reduce some redness! ๐
@Shosh85 didn't you email them about one of these masks ingredients??
@lmaster @itsfi When these were at Sephora 3 years ago I messaged customer service about the suspicious stickers covering up certain parts of the packaging and I also asked why the ingredients on the packaging didn't match up with the ingredients Sephora had listed for them. I never got an answer about the ingredients, but this was their response about the stickers:
"Sometimes brands will modify the packaging slightly depending on where their items are sold. For additional details,I would recommend contacting Laneige directly! Thank you."
I don't remember if I ever emailed Laneige, but someone else told me (can't remember who) that the packaging needed updating and instead of redesigning/repackaging, they just put stickers over them....but who knows ๐คท๐ป
Has it been 3 years since these were in Sephora @Shosh85?!! Wow, where does the time go?
@lmaster Hahaha! Great memory! ๐
I had also contacted When Beauty about their masks more recently, so I wasn't sure if that's what you were remembering ๐
Maybe we just start saying how much we donโt like a certain mask @Shosh85?? Then itโll be around forever!! ๐ 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. ๐ณ Then I saw on the brandโs site what appears to be 2 new sheet masks. Hmmm... ๐ง
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.
@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! ๐
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. ๐ขThey have some new ones now, but darn it, I loved that Coconut Ceramide!
@Shosh85, I love that coconut ceramide mask as well. A favorite. โค๏ธ I have one, maybe two, left with a 2021 expiration date. I will be savoring those 2 uses.
