๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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 ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yeah, itโ€™s such a bummer @PrettyPaint. Luckily, I am very well stocked! ๐Ÿ˜† 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ughhhhh no no no @itsfi why discontinue great products ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I know right @lmaster?! ๐Ÿ˜ก Itโ€™s a trend that needs to die. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi "Bring it back" is right!! I'm hoarding the few of these I have left ๐Ÿ˜ข

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Exactly @Shosh85! These OH Power Brights are one of the TJM / Marshalls finds Iโ€™m happy to have stocked up on. ๐Ÿ˜† 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

A couple of Unicorns for the week (thank you @sonnydee!)

The The INKEY List Oat Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm 5 oz/ 150 mL evaded me for the longest time. After reading @WinglessOneโ€™s raving reviews, I knew it was something that I needed to try. It is a cleanser but also (according to the instructions) can be used as a hydrating mask. So far, Iโ€™ve been about 50/50 in how I use it. It feels slippery-er than other cleansing balms Iโ€™ve used, and has some exfoliating granules, though they are sparse and gentle. The scent is different, not the most pleasant to me, but in general Iโ€™m not a fan of oat-scented beauty. The very good thing is that the versatility is great for those with normal/dry skin, and halfway through the tube, Iโ€™ve yet to experience irritation or redness ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ It rinses off pretty easily, another bonus. And of course, the price! Very excited for the upcoming masterclasses (yay, two!) with the founders.
The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C in Gummy Bear will likely last through the next couple of years. The grape ๐Ÿ‡ scent reminds me of childrenโ€™s pain reliever. A Piรฑa Colada scent would be a great summertime LE!

Finally for a unicorn-style mask, the Crรจme Shopโ€™s Shooting Stars is a tried-and-true favorite. It has a bit of shimmer, a cute print and an overall good fit. Iโ€™ve reviewed it here before, and itโ€™s one I will always be happy to wear again๐Ÿฆ„โ˜บ๏ธ

F for Fresh and a Favorite skin oil:

The re:p Bio Fresh Mask with Real Calming Herbs is very, very soothing. It is another Iโ€™ve reviewed here and use frequently to calm my skin. It has a soft clay, non-drying texture, with intermittent chamomile, rose and calendula flowers. It rinses off easily, too, yay:)

The Bite Beauty Agave+ Weekly Vegan Lip Scrub is very goopy and difficult to use. This is one to apply over the sink! The Agave Lip Mask in Maple is an oldie but a beloved goodie. Will miss this when it is finished. 

Finally, the Sandawha Camellia Nourishing Mask. After the Starskin, I was so impressed with how lightweight camellia oil is, and searched my stash for any others that might have it. This was another love. The fit was slightly oversize, at the temples and the eye openings. I would rather that than have to perform surgery, so it was a welcome bonus. I wore this for around 25 minutes and found my skin to be softened after removing. I would definitely repurchase this one.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ohh the Camellia mask sounds so lovely, @eshoe!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Camellia oil (at least what Iโ€™ve tried in this and one other mask) has been a hit, @quspork. It reminds me of Drunk Elephant Mini Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil 0.5 oz/ 15 mL without the price tag. I plan to purchase a bottle come summer, and use it as a buffer between wash-off and sheet masks, for some extra built-in hydration:)

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Such a cute mask (and cute hello kitty unicorn). So glad you were able to get your hands on the inky list oat balm, @eshoe!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Me too, @haleyvvvv! Itโ€™s helpful when a product can be multi-purpose. And gentle at the same time;)

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  I may need to try that oat cleanser!!! Great reviews 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Itโ€™s extremely gentle @ather.  I am not a fan of the scent, but others havenโ€™t noticed anything off so you likely have nothing to worry about! It is an oversize tube, really a good deal. I plan on taking the dual masterclasses, really curious what they have to say.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  I saw you posted the link for the master class Iโ€™m going to see if Iโ€™m available that day and I may do it too!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yay, I hope you are able to, @ather

 

Also, before I forget...I weighed the Silk pillowcase against the unbranded version.

The Silk (top) is definitely heavier weight, which makes me think (and hope) that it will last longer than the other silk pillowcase I bought. But! Both are very, very soft:)

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  Very interesting. I would also think the brand will last longer too!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yes! @ather, good point ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  I had no idea the cleansing balm could be used as a mask - how cool! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@PrettyPaint itโ€™s a big bonus for any dry-skinned faces out there๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

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

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Very soothing @lmaster , and we could all use that๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

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