💕😌 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💗

@itsfi  Umm, Ryan totally looks like bear! I still don't see how they can call him a lion 🦁🤔 Glad to hear you liked this one! I got the soothing version and I hope it's as good as this one! 😃

[itsfi]

The soothing version looks good @Shosh85! I’ll be interested in hearing your thoughts on it. Always nice to have a good soothing mask on hand! Yeah, I really don’t get the lion 🦁thing. I look at the packaging and I see a bear! 🐻

So I thought this was my first time using the deep focus mask but upon use I realized I had done it before. It’s an interesting mask where the patches dissolve with the mask use. It’s scentless, well saturated and has a good fit. Overall, I don’t really think it had any particular impact on dark circles, but it was non tacky and my skin felt hydrated. 

I’ve also been using the Ouai leave in conditioner. I really like this one and it’s only second to the briogeo one for me! It definitely helps with hydration and frizz .

and I just really like the scent of the Kiehls one! 

 

[lmaster]

I've not heard of one like this @Kim888 very interesting!

[eshoe]

@Kim888 Karuna had a mask like that, where the eye patches dissolved. They felt like just super-thin biocell. 

That Kiehl’s scent is my favorite💕!!!

[Kim888]

@eshoe I'm so obsessed with it - I have the shower gel too and I love it

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Ooh, I like the sound of patches that dissolve! I bet they would be great for travel - perfect for masking-while-driving or masking-while-flying 😃👍🚗✈️

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I'm all for hydrated under eyes, especially with allergies in the spring, and the patches dissolving with use of the mask is just fascinating! 😁

L is for Last Choice

Thanks to the lovely @eshoe for sending me this one!

When The Last Choice Sheet Mask

This is a medium thickness biocellulose sheet mask that was saturated with a white milky essence. It had a pleasant sweet citrusy/orange scent that was very similar to how OH Power Bright smells. The fit was almost perfect - it was just a smidge too long at the jawline. It was very comfortable to wear and the adherence was great, except for the chin part that wouldn't stay put if I moved my mouth. I kept it on for about a half hour. There was a little tack after removing, but absorbed in about 10 minutes. My face looked little brighter/less dull, had a nice glow, felt lightly hydrated, soft and smooth and so refreshed.

I'm not thrilled this has alcohol in it, but at least it's further down in the list. I loved this one and it happens to be my favorite from the line. I will definitely repurchase when I'm out.

I love this one, @Shosh85 ! I have a box that has just expired, so I am trying to use them up quickly, but I love the results.

[Shosh85]

@l8totheparty  This really is such a great brand! Good job using yours up despite the expiration - definitely worth it 😉

[lmaster]

Oh the orange scent sounds perfect!! @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I loved it! Everything about this mask is great! 🍊😃

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 I forgot about the milky serum in this one! If these ever show up at Costco again, I am going to restock my drawer. This line is my favorite, I could retire masking and be happy with When in a daily basis🥰

[Shosh85]

@eshoe Milky serum is always nice surprise! This really is a great line and Costco is definitely the best place to pick it up - hopefully they get some in soon! Despite the alcohol, I'd consider buying a whole box of this one - it's my most favorite! 😃 Do you have a favorite from the line?

[l8totheparty]

I wish Costco Canada had them, @Shosh85 

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 @Nice! Those when masks always feel so good! 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  It's such a nice line of masks! 😃

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   Biocellulose AND milky sounds heavenly!!!  I need to check if I have this-if so, awesome, if not I will soon-especially smelling like the OH!  

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Right?! This one definitely checks off a lot boxes for me! 😃

[itsfi]

Ahhhh @Shosh85! When masks!! They’re good. Love that this one smells similar to the OH Power Bright! 🧡
