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 ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
Oh that Bite Maple is so good, @Shosh85 - it also reminds me of brown sugar, yum!
@Shosh85, waffle masks are great! ๐๐ผ As are waffles. ๐ง๐ I donโt understand why they went with a rose scent? Even if they couldnโt go with a maple scent, why rose? Looking at the inci list, there were other good options too; like pineapple! ๐
@itsfi It didn't even smell specifically like rose to me - I actually don't mind a fresh rose kind of scent, but this just smelled like a mix of floral. Seriously, why? I wouldn't have minded pineapple, but of course it just had to be floral! Good thing the results made up for it ๐๐ง
@Shosh85, the one good thing about it not smelling like maple or maple syrup is that I'm less inclined to want to eat a waffle. ๐ It sounds like the results of all the masks in this collection that you've used have been excellent! That's fantastic! ๐
@itsfi Besides this one I've only used the Honey one so far - but I've heard good things about the others!
@Shosh85 @Yum that packaging looks delicious ! Too bad it did not have the waffle scent, but the texture sounds like it was nice !
@Kim888 It was a really great mask, with great results, so I can't complain too much! I think because the Honey one smelled like honey, I got my hopes up that this would smell like maple ๐
W is for white flowers
Love this line, @itsfi! You've reminded me that I want to pick up the whole line and really do a good comparison of all the masks. I have tried all of them before, but it's been AGES for some of them and even then, I used them haphazardly. So, it'd be great to do a more concentrated trial and compare/contrast all the masks.
@quspork, Iโve been finding that I really have such a love for sheet masks from what Iโll fondly call old school Kbeauty brands, like Etude House and this line in particular. Donโt get me wrong, I have many a fave sheet mask from newer brands as well but thereโs something about the brands that have been around for awhile and that were among the first sheet masks I used that really make my skin happy! โฅ๏ธ
If you do a compare / contrast with all the masks in this line, I would love to know your thoughts! If you choose to do it, Iโd actually be interested in joining you in that experiment! ๐งช๐งซ๐ฌ
Oh nice! @itsfi I'm not as scared to use masks or products with alcohol like I was before, as long as it's not on a daily or weekly basis and my skin is nicely hydrated ๐
@lmaster, you might like this one. ๐๐ผ I love the material in the EH 0.2mm mask line; it feels so comfortable and the masks are very reasonably priced. โฅ๏ธ
@itsfi Yep, there's a few masks in this line I've purposely avoided because of the possibility of a floral scent... but this one does sound really nice! I love a good ampoule essence too ๐
@Shosh85, smart to avoid them. I havenโt tried all of the sheet masks in this line but from what I have tried, it seems like theyโre all good and it will largely come down to preference for type of essence, scent, and main ingredient.
This masking session was inspired by @itsfi @Shosh85 Thanks!!!!
Trying to fit this with the present week's theme. We'll go with W for "What the ?!?!?!"
23 Years Old Seaweed Silky Mask, a mask with no mouth hole. This was my first experience with this variety of mask. It was slightly cooling at first, but then it started to become a bit itchy towards the end of the experience. It was kind of like wearing a slimy COVID face mask and was quite claustrophobic. Will I repurchase? No.
@PrettyPaint I laughed (good thing I wasn't eating!) out loud at this comparison! It's perfect for such a terrifying mask.
HA! It's too bad about this one, @PrettyPaint, but I can't definitely see what you're saying about the lack of a mouth hole getting a touch claustrophobic!
@quspork I am pretty claustrophobic naturally, so this mask was not the best fit for me. But at least it was an experience.
@PrettyPaint @lol at that picture! The mouthless
masks are always so weird! It seems like a good idea at first but then you canโt help but end up tasting the mask
