💕😌 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 💮

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?

That Tatcha mask is a beauty @ather! 💜 Packaging-wise and performance. ♥️ The Sephora Collection Instant Masks are good, aren’t they?! 😍 They’re half off right now - $4! SEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Masks 

[ather]

@itsfi  Yes I actually enjoy them all. So tempting to have them only $4.

[Shosh85]

@ather  This one sounds so nice! Glad to hear it turned out great for you! 😃

[ather]

@Shosh85  My skin really enjoyed it! Thanks!

Today I used the neogen white truffle hydramax knit mask. I picked this one from the masks on the move box and I’m glad I did. 

This mask is very thick and was completely drenched in serum. It had a light minty smell. The fit was pretty good, it covers the neck too. I did notice a slight tingle mist likely from the peppermint oil. I left it on for 25 minutes and there was still a lot of serum to massage in. It didn’t feel tacky at all. My face felt very hydrated and looked glowy. I would definitely use this one again.

This one sounds really nice, @faeriegirl! You've got me trying to remember if I've tried a knit mask before... darn this poor memory. 

[Shosh85]

@faeriegirl  Oooh, this one looks and sounds great! I can't remember what knit mask I've tried, but I remember it being pretty comfy 😃 Happy to hear you enjoyed this one! 

[PrettyPaint]

@faeriegirl  Oh my goodness, this mask looks so cool! I never really connected knitting with masking before, but that might actually be a nice combination.

[ather]

@faeriegirl  Ooo this one sounds good. The package really caught my eyes too!

[lmaster]

Love the packaging @faeriegirl sounds really nice

[itsfi]

@faeriegirl, one of my first introductions to Neogen was this knit mask; they also have a pink version. Glad to hear you liked this one; 💛 the brand’s white truffle line also has a lot of good, nourishing skincare. 

[eshoe]

Wow this one has so many good ingredients, @faeriegirl! The imagery is fun, too. Good to know Neogen makes a line specifically for sensitive skin, adding this to my to-try list!

It looked like slimy honey and felt sort of soft and silky

Scent:

I loved how this one smelled - like sweet honey

Just a little too long at the chin and a bit too wide at the temples

Wear Time:

40 minutes

Tack:

Super tacky, stuck around for about 15 minutes

Results:

My face looked brighter, more awake, had a nice glow and felt soft and smooth. The hydration from this was also excellent and lasted for quite a while.

This was actually my second time trying out this mask, and I loved it this time as much as the last! I'll definitely continue to repurchase!

Ingredients:

[PrettyPaint]

@Shosh85  I love everything you described about this mask! It must be really nice for 40 minutes wear time. If you remember, how is the fit around the eye holes? I don't like wearing masks for an extended amount of time unless they fit nicely in that area.

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  Darn it, I didn't really pay close attention to the eyeholes 🤔 - which means they were probably a good size though, because I usually make sure to jot down if they're too small. 

[ather]

@Shosh85  The smell of honey with a silky texture. Sounds perfect. Looking at the package I thought it would have been some sort venom mask. But I was pleasantly surprised when you said honey!

[Shosh85]

@ather  I have tried a bee venom mask before, and while I actually did like really like it, it definitely doesn't beat this one! Loved pretty much everything about this one! 😍

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 look at the cute bee ☺️

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I know, right? The packaging is what first sucked me in! 😍🐝🍯

[eshoe]

This sounds like the best one so far from that brand, @Shosh85! Adding another one to my post-no-buy list☺️

[Shosh85]

I really loved this one @eshoe! Definitely one I'll be stocking up on soon! 🐝🍯
