💕😌 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💗

I've always loved their packaging @Shosh85 sounds great even with the fit needing adjusting, definitely not a deal breaker 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  All the packaging I've seen from he brand really is great and I've liked mostly everything I've tried! 😃

[itsfi]

Ahhhh, Tencel! 😍 Love that material in sheet masks @Shosh85! Pearl and hyaluronic acid make a wonderful ingredients combination - hydrating and brightening! Happy to hear you liked it. This line of Annie's Way sheet masks has been a good one! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Tencel + brightening + hydrating definitely make a great combo! I loved the results from this one! Thanks again, Fi! 😃

@sillylily253, this looks like a new line of masks from TonyMoly. 😃 I'm always curious about collage masks and would love to hear your thoughts on these after you've had a chance to use them.

[Shosh85]

@sillylily253  Looks like you're set on vitamin C! Have you had a chance to try it yet? Curious what you think! 

[sillylily253]

I was thinking about saving them for a fun little sleepover but because of COVID-19 that probably won’t happen soon. that is what they seem to be meant for, but I can totally try one out. I am going to do it today. And will give you guys the results tomorrow.

My last masking duel took place over two weeks, during Z week last week and last night for A week. The masks are adorable.

In this corner, we have a Z for Zombie:  

And, in this corner, we have an A for Angel: 

Here's the play-by-play:

Spoiler

Mask:	Zombie	Angel
Material:	Medium thick cotton	Medium thick cotton
Size & Fit:	Overly large length and width-wise, with narrow eyes and mouth openings.	Overly large length and width-wise, with very narrow openings for eyes and mouth. Narrower openings than Zombie mask and has eye flaps.
Serum:	Clear, slightly viscous, but not too runny nor too goopy. Has a natural rose scent, including the earthiness of its thorns and stem. More like a rose bush than just simply the rose petals.	Clear, slightly viscous, but neither runny nor goopy. Has a fresh, slightly floral scent (not specifically of roses). Scent is subtle, lighter than Zombie scent.
Claim(s):	Hydrating	Hydrating
Performance & Results:	The mask is what I would consider a non-controversial hydrating mask that would make a good filler mask.	Like the Zombie mask, this would make a fun filler mask - no irritations or negative results; nicely hydrating.
Repurchase?:	I’d repurchase to gift it since it’s a fun mask. Or, include it in a swag bag for Halloween party. 🧟‍♀️	This would make a fun gift. 🎁😇

ETA:

@itsfi  

Do you happen to know what the ingredients are on these masks? They're very cute.

[itsfi]

@missy94612, here you go: 

[missy94612]

@itsfi  

Thanks so much for this. My daughter is really taken with these masks, but I wanted to see what was in it first.

[nuinui933]

@itsfi, omg, these are way too cute!

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, agreed. These are both very cute masks. 😁

[ather]

@itsfi  Super cute! I love that you would add in a swag bag!

[itsfi]

@ather, these are fun and very cute, especially the Zombie mask. While they’re not ones I would consider top tier as far as results, they work well enough at hydrating the skin that they would make worthwhile gifts. 🎁 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh, these are both super cute! I especially love the Zombie one! Definitely perfect for a Halloween goodie bag! 😃🧟‍

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, the Zombie one is super fun. And large. Not the largest mask though. The scent is fine, but I wish it had a different scent to it. Maybe something more fall or Halloween inspired.
