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 ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
Thank you @itsfi! It definitely feels good to have power again!
I actually did an Americano vs. Latte duel and decided I liked the Latte one just a little more. They really are super similar though, and I'd happily use either, I just think the results from the Latte one was just a wee bit better. ๐โ๏ธ
@Shosh85 glad to hear you have power back!!!! and this mask looks really neat!!!
@Kim888 Thank you, it's definitely a relief to have the power back on! I heard a bunch of my neighbors shouting and celebrating when it kicked back on! ๐
Love this mask! The Americano from this line is just as delicious and I will definitely continue to repurchase both! โ๏ธ๐
Oh @Shosh85, I am so sorry๐ข I really cannot imagine even a day without electricity. What can you eat๐ณ? I am so happy to hear it is back on, but wow...my heart goes out to you.
Of course, the mask sounds ๐๐ผ great!!!
@eshoe It's definitely the longest blackout I've ever experienced! We have a camping stove to make some stuff, but really, we just didn't eat very much. We couldn't even call for take-out for the first 2-3 days days of the outage because there was too much snow/ice for anyone to drive through. As you know, my kids are autistic and because of their sensory issues, they don't eat very much to begin with, so at least that made it it a little easier. I think the hardest part about it was not being able to explain to the boys what was going on, since they are non-verbal. They just kept trying to switch on the lights over and over. ๐ข๐
..... and yes, this mask is great! I'm definitely a sucker for a good coffee scent! ๐
I was wondering about take-out, @Shosh85. Thank goodness they donโt eat much, in this circumstance, at least. How confusing this must have been for them๐ I hope you all get a little reprieve and some sense of normalcy again!
I guess itโs a really good reminder not to get too comfortable. Iโve been extra appreciative of warm blankets and a running refrigerator over the past week...so many things you donโt think about just going about day-to-day!
@eshoe Yeah, situations like this definitely make you realize how much stuff we take for granted!
We used coolers of ice for some of our food, but ended up having to throw a lot away. We got a hotel room one night, (it was a miracle we even found a vacancy) so we could all bathe/shower and charge up and we could've stayed longer, but the boys didn't do so well there. We would use our car to charge our phones - either we would drive around while they were charging or my husband and I would take turns sitting out in the car while it ran, waiting for things to charge. My husband laughed at me because the first thing I did when the power came back on was vacuum! ๐
@Shosh85 I was reading how people were sleeping in their cars, with little ones... I donโt even know how you could get any sleep like that๐ณ Are you feeling sleep deprived?!? So much bouncing around, and bummer the hotel didnโt work out better for everyone. I keep thinking to myself, things will get better.
Yikes!!!!! @Shosh85 im so sorry you had no power!!!! Wow what a way into the new year right?? Love this mask d e licious!!
@lmaster Right? Things have been so crazy!! First COVID, then the wildfires and now massive black outs! What's next?! ๐ซ
This mask smells sooo good! I think I'd use this one just for the scent alone! ๐โ๏ธ
Hey all you masking gurus what would you recommend for my rather dry โmatureโ ๐ lackluster skin these days? Love any thoughts. Need some glow back!! Thanks in advance ๐.
@Sunnysmom, it's not at all uncommon these days for skin to need a boost. My skin is dehydrated-combination (oily T-zone and dry to really dry elsewhere, depending on the weather). I'm a big fan of oils, Vitamin C, and serums in my skincare routine to help retain moisture and for brightening skin that's gone dull with stress, weather, etc. For masks, here are some that come to mind that I've found to work well for giving the skin a little oomph:
Wash Off Masks:
Sleeping / Overnight Masks:
Sheet Masks:
Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 g
Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Sleeping Mask
fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask
Lancรดme Rรจnergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra Double-Wrapping Cream Face Mask 1 Sheet Mask
@itsfi a bit of serendipity yesterday! I got my Allure monthly beauty box which doesnโt always hold stuff I like (yet I still canโt give it up?!๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ Thereโs a meme for that). And the Sisley mask was in it! Woohoo! That was one I really wanted to try and thought oh dear, itโs so pricey. So I used it and left it on a long long time. Actually I forgot about it. Lol and so glad I did. My skin has felt so soft and moisturized all day just from one little application. So... baby steps! Now on to some other remedies from you girlies. ๐ Thank you again so much. ๐ค
( Oh and this monthโs Allure box has UBeauty in it! What!! Maybe best box ever. )
@Sunnysmom, it can be hard to give up the sub boxes. Allure has put out some good ones so I can definitely see not wanting to unsubscribe now. Thatโs awesome that yours included the Sisley mask and a UBeauty product. ๐ฅฐ๐ Happy to hear the Sisley mask gave you good results too. It is a really nice mask. Costco used to carry it online, for a good price too. Or, I should say, for a good price compared to its retail price. Lol. Thereโs a corresponding oil that Iโve heard good things about too.
So true @itsfi ! I have been good about others but not this one. They keep pulling me back in with 1-2 great new things I just can not imagine my life without apparently . Lol Afraid to look their oil up. Yikes. I am on the hunt for one that wonโt be too heavy and can handle all these silly issues I have going on right now, like my eye allergy stuff. Argh. And wonโt be a fortune. Not too much to ask right. Thank you for all your help ! ๐ค
@itsfi THANK you so much! What an amazing list! Really good options for me to check out. I think one issue I have had is that I canโt get any facials these days either so Iโm suffering, along with dry winter yukkiness! Will start to investigate these at once. MWAH. ๐ค๐ฅฐ
Ohhhhh, facials ...
I have vague memories of those ...
@Sunnysmom, I hear ya on that. I wasn't always great with maintaining a schedule for facials but my skin has definitely missed them (and suffered without them). I've been *trying* to be good with doing at home facials once a month, including a good peel. This is a well timed reminder that I need to do one this month. Going to put my facial steamer on the counter as another reminder. ๐
@itsfi @Sunnysmom Facials how I miss them. I canโt even remember how nice it feels after๐ค
That sounds heavenly @itsfi ! I could use a new steamer actually! Any you recommend?
@Sunnysmom, mine is from Vanity Planet - Aira Ionic Facial Steamer. Before that, I had a steamer from Conair that lasted for years. There's always the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Pro Facial Steamer - a beauty but $$.
