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?

Targeted skin concern: needs firming ๐Ÿ˜†

IMG_20210414_082550380.jpg

  • This is a thinner material sheet with lots of extra clear serum
  • Scent was cherry but seems a touch less potent than I remembered
  • Fit was good, could of been a touch wider at the cheek area
  • Wear time is 20 minutes
  • My skin absorbed about half the serum, then I massaged the remaining into my skin
  • Didn't notice any firming, I did see brighter skin a touch more hydrated, not too moisturizing, and no lasting tackiness
  • I do have a couple "spots" aka pimples that definitely felt like they were drying out after using it
  • I would absolutely repurchase these, especially to use to target blemishes, which was not my initial intention ๐Ÿ™ŒIMG_20210414_082555331.jpg

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

Oh @lmaster good to know this is for blemishes. 

 

I donโ€™t mean to jump on your post, but this reminded me that my daughter asked me if she could try this one that I had from @Shosh85 (thank you๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’–!). I told her only if she wrote a review, which she did.

Spoiler
โ€It smelled so good and delicious!! I wanted to eat it!

 

It was so cold and mildly tingly.

When I was wearing it, I pressed a dry towel to my face and it made the mask work wonders 10x more!!

 

The texture and consistency:

 

(10 is the highest and 0 is the lowest)

 

Mask slipperiness: 3.5

Serum slipperiness: 10

Tingling: 4

The mask is very porous, as it is like micro Swiss cheese with tiny holes everywhere.

 

When I took the mask off I basically used it as a towelette to rub in the serum and get it well-soaked in!

 

When I took it off it made my face itch a bit and my cheeks got a little red but overall - great mask! โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

 

P.S. My skin is now truly hydrated!! It feels so smooth!

Awwww @eshoe love her review!! ๐Ÿ™Œ

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

@lmaster  I haven't gotten around to trying any of mine yet, but I've sure been hearing some great reviews! Glad you enjoyed this one! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ’

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

@Shosh85 yes, this one is a top favorite, blueberry might beat this one a smidge, both I love ๐Ÿ˜ I know you will too

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

Ohhh this sounds great @lmaster ! I love cherry scent !!

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

It's really good too @Kim888 

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

@lmaster  Oooo Iโ€™ve never seen the cherry ones before. Glad you liked it!

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

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

@CookieGirl1, how disappointing that it only fizzled a little instead of foaming up. Sorry to hear that was your experience with this one. 

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

@itsfi oh well.  Slightly disappointing but there are plenty of others to try if I get the urge. 

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

@CookieGirl1   Looks really good!!

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

@CookieGirl1  Love your photos! I am glad you posted about this one, because I have almost purchased it multiple times. 

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

@PrettyPaint don't bother, lol. 

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

@CookieGirl1  Oh my goodness I love the pictures! You're the perfect masked model ๐Ÿ˜‰ Sorry to hear this was pretty unremarkable- I feel like I've heard that about a lot of their masks. The only Ulta sheet mask I've tried is their new banana one, and I actually really liked it. 

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

I love these photos!! @CookieGirl1 

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

Ahhh love your photos, @CookieGirl1

Did this mask bubble up quite a bit? On a (kind of) side note, Iโ€™ve wondered why oxygen foaming masks are always touted to be pore cleansing.  I just learned that oxygen kills bacteria (During the ABH Masterclass, no less) and I havenโ€™t been able to stop thinking about the science behind it. As in...does the bubbling action really help โ€˜openโ€™ the pores, so the oxygen can clean them out? These are the kind of things I need to know๐Ÿง! 

 

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

Ulta's got some fun masks to try out, @CookieGirl1! How did you end up liking this one?

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

@quspork @eshoe @lmaster this is what happens when I'm tired but I can't fall asleep at midnight, lol. Evidently I turn into some kind of masked Ninja ๐Ÿ˜ˆ. The mask itself was honestly quite unremarkable.  I haven't ever used one of the bubbling ones but this one didn't exactly impress me. It kind of sort of lightly fizzed and then it kind of fizzled out. I left it on for a good 15 to 20 minutes and there wasn't anything wrong with it but I didn't really see any benefit from using it, either. Maybe that one just wasn't designed to be very potent or there's always a chance that I just got a dud. Either way, it was the only one that I had in my collection and I wouldn't bother buying another one of those specific masks..

Thank you for the deets @CookieGirl1
