MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@PrettyPaint it’s a big bonus for any dry-skinned faces out there😉

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@eshoe I really like the sound of the re:p the scent sounds perfect too

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

Very soothing @lmaster , and we could all use that😉

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@eshoe, the re:p mask is great for sensitive skin. The combo of it and the camellia mask sounds very soothing.

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@itsfi I plan to take up your suggestion of using an Ampoule/oil in the fall months. I hope to find a good camellia oil-based product, it seems to be very gentle and easy in the skin.

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@eshoe  Hmm, sounds like I need to start trying out more Camellia masks! So happy to hear you found another good one!😃


Also, I like you idea for a Piña Colada flavor Laneige- sounds delicious! 😋😉

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@Shosh85, I think you would love camellia oil. Nourishing goodness for dry skin. 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@itsfi  I'll definitely have to look into it more! ..... what have you tried?

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@Shosh85, I've used the Jeju Blossom 100% dry oil as well as their serum. Camellia oil is the primary focus of the brand. Tatcha makes a camellia oil that is quite nice; very luxe. On the opposite end of the price spectrum is Life-Flo camellia oil - I've seen the brand at TJM / Marshalls but haven't seen the camellia version. For sheet masks, there's a camellia one in the Etude House 0.2mm line (that one's a jelly essence). 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

Leader’s Piña Colada mask has such a great scent, @Shosh85. If it could be duplicated, yum! Now I feel like I need to find a good summery balm☺️

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@eshoe  I agree, the scent in that Leaders mask would be a great one to duplicate! 😋👌

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

F is for fruit (dark cherries), fermentation (yogurt/lactic acid) and Farsali (lip mask). Unicorns were everywhere in Wednesday's masking time - from the Lush Unicorn lip scrub to the masks themselves, the unicorn mug, and the unicorn tears tea. @sonnydee

bioBelle Pink Hydrogel Facial Mask #UnicornShake isn't your typical bioBelle sheet mask which is  usually made of Tencel or a Tencel-like material. As its name states, it's a hydrogel mask, and a 2-piece pink one at that. This one has a subtle crosshatch pattern to it that I think helps with its adherence, as I did not experience a lot of the slip-sliding I sometimes do with hydrogel masks. There was some slippage with the strip covering the area above my upper lip but nothing too problematic. As for fit, the 2-piece design is very helpful and but for it being a little too wide at the temples, this mask fit the size, shape and features of my face pretty well - no need for any adjustments to the eyes or mouth areas either as the openings for both were sufficiently wide. Fifteen minutes of wear yielded a lightly hydrated, plump, clear and fresh-faced brightness to my face. It would make a great choice for morning masking, or before a special event or occasion, if it were still available. Sadly, this mask has been discontinued.  

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@itsfi  Boo - another discontinued mask. I am going to do a google search for that tea pronto. 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@PrettyPaint, I didn’t realize I used so many discontinued masks this week. Sigh 😔 I have plenty that are still around so that’s good news.

 

The tea can be found on the brand’s site - paraviontea dot com; I think it’s available online at Neiman Marcus too. 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@itsfi Thanks! I actually looked at the brand's site last night, and there were a whole bunch of fun options. I don't know if my computer was being weird, but I couldn't find very detailed descriptions of ingredients, etc. I just pulled it up on NM, though, and I definitely prefer the layout. 🙂 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

It’s a loose leaf tea @PrettyPaint. I’ll take a pic of it tomorrow for you.

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

The Unicorn Tears tea is color changing @itsfi? I checked the brand’s site hoping to see it in action. They make some beautiful teas! 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@eshoe, I found the unicorn teas when I was out of town pre-pandemic. It’s a beautiful tea. 🫖 🍵 

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

@itsfi  Well isn't this just the cutest set up!😍


I'm so sad about all the masks BioBelle discontinued! I loved all the originals, including this one! Definitely sounds like you got some great results! 😃🦄

Re: 💕😌 Mask of the Week Challenge 😌💖

Teas, lip balms and sheet masks. I seem to have them in endless supply @Shosh85! 😃 Good thing they pair well when it comes to some self care. 😉 

 

I’m a little bummed that all their older masks are no more. I had planned on keeping a couple from the original group as staples in my mask library. On the other hand, that means I get to keep trying more masks until I find ones I want to curate for the library. 😆 The new BioBelle ones are fine enough but I feel like they don’t compare to the goodness of the originals from the brand.
