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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐Ÿ’—

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

@itsfi Skinfood makes some exceptionally-yummy scented wash-off masks. Even though I donโ€™t need another clay mask, you make it sound almost too good to resist!

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

@eshoe, the clay in this apricot mask is super gentle. I wouldn't have thought it included kaolin clay if I didn't look at the INCI list on this one. 

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

@itsfi  I've never used a mask from this brand because I've heard they're all pretty much just filler masks, but I'd buy this one based off the scent alone ๐Ÿ˜† Apricots are like pumpkins to me... I don't like the taste but I do like the scent! 

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

@Shosh85, Iโ€™ve only tried a few of these Dermal mask; they were part of past sub boxes. They were okay; the scent on this apricot mask takes it a smidge above โ€œjust okay.โ€ Amazon has a set of 10 of just the apricot ones and Iโ€™m toying with the idea of picking those up during my next sheet mask haul, just to wring the serum out of all the sheet masks, into a separate jar. ๐Ÿ˜† Will have to calculate if that makes $$ sense first though. 

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

@itsfi  I wish all masks smelled like they should! Glad you like this as a filler mask!

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

@ather, I hear ya! I was happy this one smelled like apricots! 

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

@itsfi the scent sounds excellent!! Especially in the summer

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

@lmaster, I kept poking my nose into the packet to pick up the scent. Lol.

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

*No promo code necessary. Available while supplies last. โ€“ all sales are final. Offer subject to change at any time and without notice. Must add $75 worth of items to cart to automatically receive (12) free samples. Sale ends 7/5/2021 at 11:59pm EST.

I'm a fan of the Original Glow Sheet Mask. @Shosh85, the peach slices masks are on sale (about 40% off), including the brightening (yuzu) one you like. @eshoe, I imagine you have "a few" masks you're looking to pick up since your no-buy is behind you (congrats!); not sure if any of the ones on sale are on your list, but it might be worth a look. 

 

Happy shopping maskers! 

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

@itsfi  Thanks for the heads up! I do love that Yuzu one! I just wish there wasn't a $50 minimum for free shipping... I definitely don't need $50 in masks, ๐Ÿ˜‚ but they do have other products I've been interested in!

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

Yeah @Shosh85, that minimum spend for free shipping can be a pain in the patoots. ๐Ÿ˜† They do curate some wonderful skincare products, though my essentials aren't part of the sale items, which is really okay since I have a healthy supply at the moment. Hahaha! 

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

Where to begin, @itsfi - this is a good start! Thank you for sharing, I will be taking a look around๐Ÿ˜

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

@eshoe, so many deals out there just waiting to be shopped. lol! Have fun! ๐Ÿ›

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

A is for Annie's Way. Gifted to me from the wonderful @itsfi! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Annie's Way Pearl + HA Brightening Mask

 

Material:

Tencel

 

Serum:

Clear and watery

 

Scent:

Light floral - not too noticeable while the mask was on

 

Fit:

Too wide, a little too long at the chin, the eye holes were too big, there was a big gap of exposed skin around the nose and the strip between the nose and both was too long and too skinny. Despite all this, the material was thin enough to easily fold and scrunch into place and still felt pretty comfortable.

 

Wear Time:

Half hour

 

Tack:

None

 

Results:

Soft and smooth, comfortably hydrated and noticeably brighter skin

 

Repurchase?

Absolutely! The fit wasn't the greatest, but that's never been a deal breaker for me, and the thin material made that easy to fix.

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

@Shosh85  Sounds great!! I love Annieโ€™s way!! 

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

@ather  This brand does make some great masks! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

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

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

@lmaster  All the packaging I've seen from he brand really is great and I've liked mostly everything I've tried! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

Ahhhh, Tencel! ๐Ÿ˜ 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! 

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

@itsfi  Tencel + brightening + hydrating definitely make a great combo! I loved the results from this one! Thanks again, Fi! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
