💕😌 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 💮

Spoiler

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💗

@ather, the mask is super fun. I had no idea what the character was so it served as a fun research project. 😉 If only all my research projects were like that. 😁 What did you think of the pear?

[ather]

@itsfi  I really like it. I was actually given it from a friend. I gave some to my little guy and he enjoyed it too!

[itsfi]

@ather, I'm so happy to hear that you and the little guy liked it. It's so refreshing. 😋 When I have a little more time, I think I'll try making a pie with it. Not sure if it will work, but might be fun to give it a shot. I learned that a friend's mom purees it and uses it in a marinade. 😮 

[lmaster]

Oh how cute!! @itsfi filler masks still get the job done 😉

[itsfi]

Yes they do @lmaster! And this one did it with style and a fabulous fruity scent! 😃

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Mmm, I love asian pears!! 😋

This mask and it's packaging sure are super cute!!! Those results sound wonderful too! Definitely a winner - and one I'll have to track down sometime! 😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, me too. Crispy, juicy, refreshing! Asian pears are delish! 😋 I was happy with the results and the scent!! The design is an added bonus! 👍🏼 I’ve spotted the mask online at oo35mm - I’ve ordered from them before and it’s been great! 🛒 

[eshoe]

@itsfi a quick scroll-by and this looked like a box of Crayola crayons! It is cute, inside and out. Once I started reading your review, I thought, mmm-hmm, yes, yes, like that, yes - and then:

"I could see myself seeking out another of this mask, or one of the other masks in the limited edition Funassyi Pear set."

Why is everything that is really good, magically LE? 😄

[itsfi]

@eshoe, how great would it be if there was a pear-scented crayon?!! 😍 Yeah, LE masks ... discontinued masks ... hard to source masks ... a masker’s struggle is real! 😆 

[eshoe]

Ooooh yes, @itsfi - how is it possible this is not yet a thing? There are scented markers, and pens...why not crayons? Besides masking, the struggle to keep stationary under control is a struggle, too😉

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @itsfi  Ummm, you guys, scented crayons do exist! Both Crayola and Mr. Sketch make them. Though, I don't think there's a pear-scented one. 

[eshoe]

You would know, @Shosh85! I had those twistables in the car at one time and they drove me bananas. The lead always fell out and chaos ensued. I thought they would be great car companions but they turned out to be more of a pain. They weren’t scented though-these sound so much better!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Haha! Yeah, they are kind of a pain! My boys like to purposely pull them out! 😂 I sure love how that smell! I use to really love the Mr. Sketch markers when I was little, though there weren't as many scents as there are now!

[itsfi]

Yep @Shosh85; knew about scented crayons but haven't found a pear one . . . yet. I didn't know that Crayola made scented crayons though, which, what rock have I been under for all this time?!!! 😂 Long ago, I think I may have had a scented mini pen set with a light pear scent but alas, it's no longer with me. Now, I feel compelled to try to find a pear scented crayon. @eshoe 

ETA: both those sets seem like they could end up in my shopping cart . . . 😂

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I've bought both of them for my boys. I should write to both companies and request a pear-scented one 😂🍐

[itsfi]

If you started a petition, I would sign it @Shosh85! 😂 I'd love an Asian pear scented one but am down with any pear scent. This is now making me want to create a list of scents I'd like to see and find.

[eshoe]

Hmmm a pear-patchouli-vanilla candle would be nice in the meantime, @itsfi @Shosh85 😗

[itsfi]

@eshoe Kiln&oak, a Canadian brand, has a candle with exactly those notes. @Shosh85 

[eshoe]

Of course there is, @itsfi - and you happened to know about it, which is even better @Shosh85 😂

[itsfi]

Lol @eshoe. I have this feeling that there are many struggles for at least a few of us. 😂 

[Kim888]

Oh wow that mask has such fun packaging @itsfi @and pear scent sounds awesome! Sounds like I need to add this to my list !
