| 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💗
After seeing @PrettyPaint’s Gudetama mask from Saturday, it was motivation to get mine posted, too-after all, it was her idea to begin with😉

The short and sweet of this is that the Joanna Vargas Exfoliating Mask is a deliciously-scented, light citrus/fruity favorite of mine. The Crème Shop Tighter and Brighter was most definitely my mood last week; I wish I could have reclined in an egg chair all weekend!
Since I couldn’t, I used this mask. My experience was very similar to @PrettyPaint‘s. With this one, it’s more about the cuteness factor than the fit/adherence. Despite that, I would use it all over again if I needed an easy smile at the end of the day.

Thank you so much for this theme, I had fun going through my masks determined to find something to match my mood😘
@eshoe Have you ever seen Men in Black? That chair totally reminds me of the one Will Smith sat in and dragged across the floor, causing it to make that horrible screeching noise. 😂
The Gudetama sheet mask certainly is super cute! I think everyone here has been in a lazy egg, 'meh' sort of mood at one time or another! 🥚🍳
Started the week off with a sheet mask that fits both this week's challenge, with a X for xanthic (having a yellow color; yellowish) and an adorably packaged mask for @Shosh85's fun theme! 💛

The character depicted on the packaging and mask of the Pure Smile Funassyi Pear Kabuki Art Mask is Funassyi, a "pear fairy" and the unofficial mascot of the city of Funabashi, Chiba, Japan. The Funssyi character is an Asian pear (Pyrus pyrifolia extract). 😋
I've always classified Pure Smile masks as filler masks - no muss, no fuss masks good for everyday use. The mask is medium-thick, adheres nicely, and fits like most sheet masks, so on me, larger all-around with openings for the eyes and mouth being too narrow and requiring adjustments. The essence is a clear, ever so slightly viscous liquid. There's a lot of it too in this mask, and in the packet as well. I was able to keep the mask on for 40 minutes without any fear of it drying out; in fact, my face was still soaked in essence, though it absorbed very quickly, after removing the mask, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and looking dewy and plump.
Most Pure Smile sheet masks are subtly scented with the key ingredient, or they have that fresh, clean, signature sheet mask scent to it. Then came this delectably pear scented Funassyi Pear Kabuki Art Mask, one of the best scented masks from this brand, though I can't be sure whether that is due to the pear extract or added fragrance in the mask. Regardless, this one smells very good and the illustration on the mask is, like the packaging, super cute! I don't typically categorize Pure Smile sheet masks as one worth running out and repurchasing pronto, but this Funassyi Pear mask is an exception and I could see myself seeking out another of this mask, or one of the other masks in the limited edition Funassyi Pear set.
