๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

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?

W is for Watermelon, finishing up last week

Spoiler
I think a lot of people have tried the Sephora brand watermelon mask by now. This is the perfect after sun mask which is how I used It with all the hot weather we are having here in the north east! Itโ€™s super comfortable and cooling. 

also, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the Augustinus Bader Rich cream gwp. So I was pretty blown away by this. Itโ€™s super luxe feeling and absorbs so well and overall over the few uses I got out of the sample my skin felt really hydrated. I canโ€™t justify close to $300 for a moisturizer regularly, but this is the first super luxe face cream to make we want to. When Iโ€™ve tried others (like la mer or dr strum) I was always sort of left saying this is isnโ€™t better than  high end like $60-100 range. But this one totally hit differently

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

I actually have not tried the SC watermelon mask yet @Kim888 I do have it in my loves list though ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

I will take your word for it that the AB is amazing, @Kim888 - sounds like something I don't even want to try ๐Ÿ˜„

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

@Kim888  Mmmmm....that cream sounds amazing! 

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

That watermelon mask is so good, @Kim888!

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

@Kim888, is that the original version of the Sephora watermelon mask? 

Interesting on the AB cream. I have both it and the Dr Barbara Sturm which has been a favorite. Iโ€™ll have to get out my AB cream and compare them. 

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

@itsfi It is the og version! It still on sale for $3 and in stock 

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

@Kim888, thanks. I have a couple of the older ones and one of the new ones. Was planning on comparing the two but it seems that from what I've read, the original version of that one, and others, performs better. ๐Ÿ‰

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

I have one of each, @itsfi, which I have been saving for a duel, too. It's been awhile since I have used the original, so it will feel new to me again. @Kim888  

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

@Kim888  That watermelon mask is great! So refreshing, especially on warm days! ๐Ÿ‰โ˜€๏ธ

Thanks so much for your review of the AB Cream! I got the GWP too and am so excited to try it!..... I agree, not sure I could spend that much on the FS!

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

I love the packaging on this line of masks - it's what lured me in and made me want to buy them ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿง‡

Kokostar Waffle Mask ~ Maple


Material:

Medium thickness waffle weaved cotton, that was comfortable and breathable

 

Serum:

Medium thickness slimy jelly. There was a lot extra in the pouch

 

Scent:

I was really hoping for a yummy maple syrup kind of scent, but instead it had a light floral scent.

Fit:
Just a smidge too wide at the forehead and a little too long at the chin.

 

Wear Time:

40 minutes

 

Tack:

Light, and stuck around for about 10 minutes

 

Results:

Soft and smooth, a little bouncy, comfortably moisturized skin with a nice dewy glow. I didn't really notice any brightening like the mask claims.

 

Repurchase?

Probably not. The results were about the same as the Honey version I tried from this line, but the Honey one had a much better scent. If this one didn't have a floral scent but instead had a nice maple scent, I would've probably liked it a lot more.

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

@Shosh85 I'm very curious what a maple scented mask would really smell like,,, would of been nice to find out ๐Ÿคค

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

@lmaster  I don't know if you've ever tried the Maple Bite lip mask, but I imagined it being similar to that ๐Ÿง‡๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜‹

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

Yes yes! Love that too @Shosh85 I would love to try a mask that smelled like that!!

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

Oooooh, big mistake in having a floral scent, @Shosh85! I wish I remembered this one more. Have you tried the strawberry one yet? I think that one has more of a strawberry scent.

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

@eshoe  No, so far I've only tried this and the Honey one, but I've heard some of the others have better scents! I guess I was hoping this would have a similar scent/flavor that the Bite lip mask had. 

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

@Shosh85  The results sound really nice, though I agree that maple scent would be better! 

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

@PrettyPaint  The results were great, so that kind of made up for the lack of maple scent - but I guess I just kinda got my hopes up! 

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

@Shosh85  The results sound really nice, though I agree that maple scent would be better! 

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

You're right, @Shosh85, the packaging on the waffle masks is so fun! And I agree, a nice light maple syrup scent would have been really nice with this one. 

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

@quspork  I really liked the Bite lip mask that had a Maple flavor and I guess I was just hoping it'd be similar to that ๐Ÿคทโ€ Oh well
