💕😌 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 💮

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?

@Hyramlover Ooooh unicorn masks are so fun!

Do you know which brand it is by? Is it a sheet mask or a wash-off?

W is for when

When masks always come through. This is the 10pm mask - going to admit while I do think all of their masks are great, I have a hard time actually telling them apart. But like all of the others, the fit on this was fairly good and the bio gel consistency feels great. It felt super soothing and hydrating and left my skin non tacky. Another when win. 

I also tried out the Drunk elephant body scrub. This had very big gritty pieces. It has good slip. The smell was ....aggressive. It definitely was not the nice calming almond of their other body products. It smelled more like burnt coffee. I mean it does what it says in terms of a scrub, but it doesn’t do anything extra that would motivate a purchase.I prefer the Kopari one.

I'm so glad I didn't get super fomo and held out for the promo!! @Kim888 I really love the sdj scrub

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888  Thanks so much for the review on the DE. I was considering it, but I don't think I like the sound of the large pieces. 

[quspork]

That's too bad about the scent on the DE scrub, @Kim888. But you're right about the When masks- they almost always come thru! But a lot of them do seem super similar haha. 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, it definitely sounds like there are better options than the DE. Large gritty scrubby granules that smell aggressively of burnt coffee? Ooof. That’s a “no.” 😣 Thanks for letting us know. 

[eshoe]

“The smell was ....aggressive.”

Love the honesty here, @Kim888 - I’ve never tried this but now I can imagine it, enough not have to try it.

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  It's funny you mention the When masks being a lot alike - I thought that too so I did a duel ..... and found out they really are all so similar! Happy to hear this When was a win. 😉

Thanks for your thoughts on the DE scrub and for saving me the money! The big gritty pieces and burnt coffee scent does not sound delightful. 😐

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 @Whenever I see all the time stamps on them I wonder what it would be like to use the entire pack in a day haha

V is for Violet

@lmaster  In the shopping cart it goes - B2G1F at Ulta. Yay!

[lmaster]

Oh sweet!! @PrettyPaint thanks 🙌

[Samtian]

@lmaster Ooh this sounds wonderful!

[lmaster]

@Samtian it was excellent!! 😊

[quspork]

Wow- the best you've ever used is quite the endorsement, @lmaster! Guess I know what I'm adding to my next Ulta order 😂

[lmaster]

@quspork it was the whole package!! Everything was spot on!

[Kim888]

@lmaster @Oh that sounds great! That sounds like  such a calming scent !

[lmaster]

The scent was the best!! I loved the way my hands smelled!! @Kim888 an A+ for sure

[itsfi]

@lmaster, "the best hand mask" you've used?!! Oooohh!!! 😍 I had it set aside for last week but didn't get around to it and thought about using it for the rainbow week theme. Going to put that on my nightstand so I remember to use it. "Soft hands"? Yes, please! 

[lmaster]

Everything about this one was perfection!! @itsfi can't wait to hear your thoughts 😍

[itsfi]

@lmaster, a good moisturizing hand mask is definitely something that is needed!! It just makes me nervous that if this is the gold star for you as far as hand masks go, does that mean it will be discontinued?!! Grrrr!!! 😫
