💕😌 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 I'm glad this one is a win! I have a few of them in my stash lol.

[itsfi]

@Samtian, it's easy to accumulate a few of these animated animal masks. This one was really refreshing! Loved the hydration it gave me. 😍 I have another one that I plan to set aside for the summer - the cooling feel will come in handy as will the hydrating aspect. 😀

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Mammal totally works! Love your creativity 😃
Awe, this one sounds great, and even better that it's cute! It does seem that out of all their masks, the character masks generally fit the best. So happy this one worked out so well.... guess you just needed to chill out 😆

[itsfi]

Hahaha! Happy to have to chill out, @Shosh85! 😆 I really wanted to use this one so I had to put the little noggin 🧠 to work for the M tie-in. 😉 

[lmaster]

@itsfi awww super cute design!! I love a good cooling mask,, this one will be great for the summer too

[itsfi]

TCS is sometimes off the mark with its animal mask design but this is good. 👍🏼 You are absolutely right, @lmaster - this will make a fantastic mask for the summer! 🌞

Repurchase?

Yes, this one is now added to my repurchase list! I love gauze masks and I love that this one also had several of my favorite ingredients in the first half of the list! 😃 I wouldn't say I loved the scent, but it wasn't bad at all either, and the great results make up for it. 😉

[eshoe]

Well this looks like another lovely one to add to the short list, @Shosh85! 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe I'll definitely be picking up more of these soon! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Definitely sounds like a winner!

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  Yup, definitely one I need more of! 😃

[Kim888]

Sounds great @Shosh85 ! Gauze masks are really so comfy to wear!!

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Love gauze! I agree they're so comfy and breathable! I'm always on the lookout for anything with "gauze" in the title! 😃

[lmaster]

This one does have great ingredients! And gauze @Shosh85 sounds like a winner

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yup, it's a winner in my book! It seems like a good one for all seasons too 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, you had me at “thin gauze.” 😍 The results sound amazing! ♥️ This collection is a very popular one for APieu. This mask is going on my “must try” list.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  The gauze was the first thing that attracted to me to this mask, but I have also heard great things about Madecassoside. 😃 Definitely one I'd like to have back ups of!

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, that’s a sign of a good mask - that you want back ups of it! 😃 I forgot to ask in my previous post - was the scent strong?

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  It was pretty light and the slight sweetness made the floral part not so bad 😉

[itsfi]

Ahhh, good to know @Shosh85! Good to hear that it's a subtle scent, too. I'm finding that for floral scents in sheet masks, subtle is better for me. You're not a huge fan of floral scents, right? With the fruit scents and the honey ones, I'm all for those being more pronounced, but not artificial scents. 😍 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yeah, I would have to say floral is my least favorite scent, especially if it's a perfumy floral 🤢
