6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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 ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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?

@missjeanie  Hahaha! I remembered it was the 1st, but was totally forgetting the holiday associated with it ๐Ÿ˜‚ It took me a second to figure out what was going on here ๐Ÿคฃ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I think this year was a pretty tame April fools @Shosh85 , I saw a few cute posts on social media, but nothing too outlandish.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie @eshoe that is great!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

WoW. Lol @eshoe  I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve ever seen this but now that I have itโ€™s gonna have to be a DIY at some point lol

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie   Ha, this wouldnโ€™t work cause Iโ€™d just eat it.  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface needs some of the skin food raspberry jam wash off to go with! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missjeanie, since they were OOS when I tried to order it  yesterday, I just decided to grab a jar of JIF from the pantry . . . hahahaha! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I've heard that peanut oil is wonderfully moisturizing @itsfi , good on you for going for the DIY when such a hot product is sold out so quick! lol

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

We have to do what we have to do @missjeanie! Protein is good for the skin. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Iโ€™m very committed to caring for my skin! ๐Ÿ˜

N is for natural

Spoiler
Current Skin Type / Condition: Dehydrated and very dry, more so than typical for this time of the year. Sensitive under eyes and cheeks. Discoloration from acne scars and PIH. 

Mask: Simple Note Organic Rosemary Sheet Mask

Claim(s): Moisturizing and plumping. 98% natural origin ingredients

Material: 100% pure Japanese cotton; I'd say it's medium-thick in terms of heft.

Adherence: Good

Fit: Not too bad. Width was great for me; narrower than most sheet masks. Plenty of material at forehead, also great for me. About half an inch too short at the chin. Lots of material in the area above the upper lip - the most of any sheet masks I've used. Same for the material between the eyes, but in this area, there are definitely masks out there that are more oversized than this one. Cut outs for eyes are a bit oddly shaped in that they're less oval in shape and more resembling a rounded half square domed shape. 

Essence: Typical of what I expect from a sheet mask - clear liquid essence with a very slight viscosity to it. Scent was more fruity and minty; very, very light. I didn't specifically pick up any rosemary scent which I was a little bummed about. 

Performance & Results: Instructions call for leaving the mask on for 5-10 minutes. I may have gotten to 5 minutes with this one - it was longer than a few minutes. If I experience tingling with a sheet mask, it's usually minimal and not very long. While the tingling from this mask wasn't overbearing with this mask, it was more noticeable than what I usually experience or was comfortable with, both in terms of duration and degree of tingling. Ingredients on the reverse side are in Japanese so I couldn't make out what might be the culprit for the tingling sensation. My cheeks looked a bit red all over after removing the mask - it was definitely more than just a flush. The redness turned more pink and eventually faded away overnight. 

Best Suited For: Those who do not have sensitive skin.

Will I Repurchase?: No. (another N)

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Boo! Sorry to hear this one caused a bad reaction aaand that it didn't even smell rosemary ๐Ÿ˜ข 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I know @Shosh85!! Double whammy!! Boo! ๐Ÿ‘Ž At least I had my rosemary sprigs I could smell! ๐Ÿ˜€

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Eek, sorry about the irritation from this mask, @itsfi. Thankful to hear it didn't last more than a day, though!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe, yes, me too. ๐Ÿ™‚ It's bound to happen. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Ahhh no!!! Do you have a photo of the ingedients in Japanese? 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface, I know. It seems like it's likely something in the mask that my skin didn't like because the redness was pretty much all over and not just on the extra sensitive parts of my face. Now, I know. 

 

Here's what's on the reverse side of the packet:

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Awww, thank you @heartsmyface! Looking at the list, it's either the rosemary leaf extract is too concentrated or it's the pueraria myrifica root extract. I've used sheet masks with rosemary leaf extract in it and haven't had a problem, though it's been much lower on the ingredient list. I don't recall ever seeing "pueraria myrifica root extract" in sheet masks I've used before. Okay, going to have to look into that. Thank you again!! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
