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 ๐ฎ
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
@quspork Oooh - this looks really nice. Goodal is a brand I need to explore some more.
They've had some great products over the years, @PrettyPaint. I really want to try their tangerine line at some point.
@quspork Ooh I'm adding this to my wishlist!
It's definitely a good line to check out, @Samtian
@quspork This one sounds pretty great - I'm happy you enjoyed it! Definitely makes me excited to try out the line! ๐๐ซ
I hope you enjoy it whenever you give it a whirl, @Shosh85!
@quspork so glad you had a good experience!! I didn't notice the blueberry scent with this version either, but the raspberry one did have a fruity scent
That's good to know about the raspberry, @lmaster - I'll have to add it to the list.
Ohhh, the older Goodal sheet masks were really nice @quspork! ๐ I've tried the quince version from this Goodal line a couple of years ago and liked it a lot, and I have one I'm planning on using tonight. As much as I know that not having a scent makes a sheet mask more appealing to more people, I was really hoping you were going to say it smelled of blueberries! It sounds like it gave you some good results and that's what's important!
A nice, subtle blueberry scent would have put it over the top, @itsfi but I guess that's a relatively minor complaint for this one haha
Certainly not a deal breaker @quspork! ๐ซ
Earlier this week . . .
@itsfi Wow - This fits the theme perfectly. The strong floral scent doesn't sound that appealing, but I'm still so amused that there are salmon and garlic masks. I'm probably super gross, but I think I wouldn't mind a fresh salmon sushi-type scent, especially if it had a little gari smell mixed in.
Ohhh @PrettyPaint, sushi!!! ๐ฃ ๐ Fresh salmon sashimi / sushi is one of my favorites. โฅ๏ธ Iโve been trying to make sushi every once in a while since covid. I havenโt ventured into making a roll or nigiri with raw fish...yet. Maybe Iโll try later this year.
Back to the masks, the scents on these were potent. It made me think that I would prefer to be in an elevator with someone who was heavy handed with perfume. ๐ There are definitely some โinterestingโ masks out there, PrettyPaint! ๐ณ I have some of them and Iโm both looking forward to using them and a tad skittish about them, too.
@itsfi thank goodness they didn't smell like fish and garlic ๐
So true @lmaster! Can you imagine?!! I was just a smidge nervous one of these masks would smell like the โstarโ ingredient. Now it makes me wonder if thatโs why the added fragrance in these two are sooooo heavily perfumed?!! ๐ฑ ๐ฌ
@itsfi Oh my gosh, do you remember the April Fools prank The Creme Shop sent out that was an ad for their "new" Anchovies & Garlic sheet mask - and I totally thought it was a real thing? ........ your masking session proves that I'm not crazy for believing it was a real thing! Haha! ๐
Too bad about the fragrance on these, and good to know I should probably stay away! Although, I would like to try a garlic mask sometime- definitely seems like it pairs perfectly with a salmon mask! ๐๐
Oh my goodness @Shosh85, that's why I kept thinking "who used a garlic mask?!" Hahaha! I could not for the life of me figure that out but I was convinced that I had heard of a garlic mask before. Well, that just means you are the inspiration for this entire masking sesh! ๐ It's all coming back to me now. I thought it was a real mask, too. Or perhaps we just wanted it to be a real mask, because how interesting would that be, right?! ๐ค I can usually tolerate scents, and like them on many occasions, but the ones in these two ... wooo whee! Just thinking about it is making my eyes twitch. lol. These Dermal masks were good for helping me decide what to cook for meal prep this week. Ha!
@itsfi Well, at least these masks didn't smell like their star ingredients..... now that would've been interesting ๐ณ๐
@Shosh85, I did wonder about that before opening the packets. Hahaha! ๐ Good outlook. The potent and lingering perfumey floral scent is now sounding better. ๐คช
I am apparently still in last week with the unicorns, but I impulsively added this one on to a curbside pickup order. It's the Soo'Ae Unicorn Glow Hologram Mask. It is Black Charcoal on one side and the hologram is on the other side.
I really like charcoal masks and while I liked the serum in this one, I feel like the gimmicky hologram part kind of took away from a lot of the reasons that I enjoy charcoal masks. While charcoal masks usually fit/adhere well, the hologram side weighed this thing down and it was bulky and heavy enough that it didn't adhere closely to my face. That being said, I ultimately purchased it because of the unicorn marketing! ๐ฆ
I'm terrible at photographing holographic packaging, but here are the photos:
