💕😌 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 💮

Spoiler

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 masks💗

Such a sweet little gift from @lmaster! 😍

Happy to hear you enjoyed this one @itsfi! This line is sounding really great so far! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, agree! @lmaster is a sweetheart! 🤗 

There are certain brands with sheet mask collections that are consistently solid. Based on the ones I've used so far, these Goodal sheet masks are proving to be in that class. 

[lmaster]

Awwww @itsfi so happy you liked it!! 🤗💝

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I should have picked up more of the Goodal sheet masks from this line a couple of years ago. Wait a second, no; no, I should not have. I had plenty more masks then so it's better that I showed some restraint. 🤣 So happy to have been able to try this mugwort varietal. Thank you again! These are certainly on my list for when I'm free of my sheet mask no-buy! Almost there, I think ... 😉

Tonight I decided to take a break from using up my opened masks and use a sheet mask! G is for ginseng. It has a very earthy scent not to strong but enough to get a little scent here and there. It was dripping in a clear essence and I had it on for about 30 mins and it was still pretty wet. It adheres well. I started it in my bath then moved to my bed. Took about 5 mins for the remaining essence to soak into my skin. It claims to improve moisture balance, cleans and restore and anti aging. It feels moisturizing as for the rest hard to tell. I would definitely use again. 

 

[lmaster]

The packaging is really nice @ather I'm glad to see it's a goodie

[eshoe]

@ather another ginseng-scent fan here! Have you tried the Pixi Skintreats Glow Mud Mask? It has a lovely ginseng scent and barely dries down. 

[ather]

@eshoe  Ooo I haven’t but I’ll definitely keep my eyes out for it!

[quspork]

I love a good ginseng mask, @ather - glad to hear this one worked out well for you!

[ather]

@quspork @I’ve never used a ginseng one so it’s definitely a new favourite ingredient! Happy Valentine’s Day!

[itsfi]

Ahhh, love ginseng @ather! 💖 I didn't love having to drink it as a kid, but my skin certainly likes the results from it in skincare. This one sounds like a great mask for the cold winter, and reminds me that I have a couple of ginseng masks that I wanted to use this week. So many great "G" masks out there. I'll have to sneak it in another week. 😆 

Sooooo, you mentioned taking a break from your open masks. What masks are you using, hon? Tell us, please! 😍

[ather]

@itsfi  My skin really liked it. It’s feeling very refreshed today. Right now I have Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Caudalie Pore Minimizing Instant Detox Mask 2.5 oz/ 75 mL Caudalie Purifying Clay Mask 2.5 oz/ 75 mL 3 of the Sephora stick masks and SEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Masks i think that’s all. I love the Sephora stick masks it says they have 15 uses in them but I’ve been using them for so long and they keep going!!! 

[itsfi]

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.

[quspork]

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!
