💕😌 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💗

@eshoe Those sound like really great winners!

[missjeanie]

@eshoe  That Leahani mask sounds so nice.  I dig the sticky wash offs lol

[PrettyPaint]

@eshoe  Everything looks lovely, but I am especially intrigued by the Leahlani Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask. 🙂

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I honestly didn't love the scent on the sheet mask, (I picked up more floral than anything) but I really loved the results. I'm so happy it worked out great for you too! 😃

One for Vitamins week

•  this was more of a medium thickness sheet, it fit my face really well, the chin did have issues staying in place
• Clear serum in the package, a little extra
• I don't recall any strong or noticable scent with this particular mask
• Wear time was 15 minutes
• My skin felt nicely moisturized and looked less dull 🙌 no lasting tackiness
• I do like this brand, but this one didn't wow me enough to want to seek it out, but I'd use it if I received it

@lmaster, I *think* I may have tried this Purlisse one in the early days of masking. Agree that it was nice, but not a standout mask. The watermelon mask remains my top choice from the brand, from a results and scent perspective! 😉 🍉

[lmaster]

@itsfi yes the watermelon scent definitely helps boost my preference for it 😆

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I haven't tried this one yet, but I absolutely loved the watermelon one! Sorry this one wasn't super impressive. 

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I love the watermelon version too and the charcoal 👍

[eshoe]

The ‘less dull’ part sounds good, @lmaster! I’ve tried this one too, and remember not being overly impressed by it. Still...I think a mediocre masking > no masking at all👍🏼

[lmaster]

@eshoe haha!! Very true!! 

[Shosh85]

M is for Mango and Melon

Peripera Smoothie Time Mango Sheet Mask🥭

This is a thin cotton sheet mask that had lots of milky serum and a very refreshing mango scent. The fit was great and was only slightly too wide at the temples. It adhered very well and was comfortable to wear the 30 minutes I had it on. The serum leftover was only slightly tacky, but absorbed very quick. My face looked brighter and less dull, my skin felt soft and smooth and the hydration from this was excellent!
This is another one I enjoyed and will repurchase as long as I can!

Spoiler

 A'pieu Melon Icing Sweet Bar

This is a super thin cotton sheet mask that was dripping with serum and had a yummy melon scent - kinda like imitation honeydew. The fit was just ok - the mouth and eye holes were all too small and was a little too short width-wise. It adhered well and after making adjustments to the eyes and mouth, it was comfortable to wear. I kept it on for about a half hour. After I removed it the leftover serum absorbed very quickly and left behind some light tackiness that lasted less than 10 minutes. My face looked brighter and had a nice glow, and my skin felt comfortably hydrated and soft and smooth.

I have tried all four from the line, and it seems they've all had pretty similar results -  the scent it what sets them apart the most.

I have enough backups of the line at the moment, but when they're gone I'd love to repurchase them all. 😃

[eshoe]

That mango Peripera @Shosh85 🤩 I just saw it yesterday on RoseRose Shop, with a couple of others from that line. They all looked good!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  They are all SO good! That blueberry one is definitely my most favorite though! 😃🫐

[lmaster]

You are giving me tropical vibes!! @Shosh85 ahhhh summer breeze with a fruity mask and drink in hand 😉

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Totally get summer vibes! These both were so good and so refreshing! 😋🥭🍈

[itsfi]

Great choices for M masks @Shosh85! 😀 Ohhhh, those Peripera masks! And that mango smoothie one in particular - milky serum, mango scented and soft, smooth and hydrated skin?!! 💛 Why again are they no longer making these sheet masks?!!! Sigh. 😩 So sad to see the good ones go. ☹️

Those A'Pieu masks have such cute packaging! I keep referring to them as the A'Pieu popsicle masks! Did you know that Missha is "revamping" the A'Pieu or at least its "online presence"? I just read about it yesterday on the Missha website.  Not sure what that means, especially given that Missha titled the notice on its webpage as "Adieu A'Pieu". I suppose they could have just used "adieu" because it rhymes with A'Pieu, but the whole thing is making me think that A'Pieu will be no more, or at least A'Pieu as we know / knew it? Thought you might want to know in case you want to pick up more of those A'Pieu masks (and any other A'Pieu items) now.

[quspork]

@Shosh85 @itsfi I contacted Missha about the updated site and lack of A'pieu and this was their response back:

So, I guess the good news is the line isn't being discontinued. I'm hoping K-beauty retailers will continue to stock it though (and it looks like most of them have plenty of stock up right now). I find those pages easier to shop than Amazon if I'm just browsing. 

[itsfi]

Ooh, that’s good news @quspork. Thank you! I too hope that their products will be available through other etailers, and that they continue to develop new products. @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@quspork  Oh nice! That's good to know! Thank you so much for reaching out to them! I would've been very sad if they were gone for good!
