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?

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’–

@Kim888, I had my eye on this mask but decided to pick it up at another time. The cooling effect on this one sounds like it might be good for warm weather days or nights.

Great for very dry skin. Feels good on and lots of serum.

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

This looks nice @elleb810 

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

@elleb810  

Great for very dry skin sounds right up my alley. 

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

@missy94612  

If you have dry skin this one is a lifesaver.

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

@elleb810 

I'll have to check it out. Thank you. 

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

@elleb810 Etude House makes some great masks, and I agree, this is a good one for dry skin! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

@Shosh85  

This one gets used once a week at a minimum. It's one of the few sheet masks that my skin finds moisturizing enough. Have you used others from this brand? 

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

Yes, this is a great one for dry skin, @elleb810! Glad to hear it worked out well for you. 

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

@quspork  

My skin just lives for this mask.

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

@elleb810, this line of Etude House masks is one of my favorites! I love how thin the material is and the results are fantastic. I've not yet tried this Argan variety. Is the serum thick? Argan oil can be too heavy for me so I haven't been too quick to reach for this one when I go for a mask from this collection, but I like the sound of it being really good for dry skin. 

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

@itsfi  

I didn't find it too heavy. I've given a couple to friends and family. My sister liked it and she can have a hard time with argan oil, like you. She uses the Josie Maran light version of the argan oil because the original formula is too much for her most of the time.

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

This mask is so good, @elleb810! Etude House makes some excellent sheet masks, they are always on my repeat list๐Ÿ˜‰ Have you tried any of their other masks?

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

@eshoe   

The olive oil one is a good one too. There's a bunch of the serum even though the material is thin. Which of their masks have you used?

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

@elleb810 I have tried quite a few from this line, but havenโ€™t ventured out much after that. My favorites are the collagen, honey, and the olive, like you. There are probably more, but those are the first that one to mind. Any one of these works for me, though, and they are often my go-to when I donโ€™t want to take masking notes, and just enjoy the masking itself ๐Ÿ™‚

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

@eshoe  

Thank you. Your favorites sound good. I jotted down the ones you like. 

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

@elleb810 Amazon has a little set of 13 that is great. Those are my favorites, but I enjoy every single one from the set and often reach for them when I am too tired to mask, but know that my skin needs it.

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

A for apple

A - Apple.jpg

 

tl;dr: The clear, viscous, jelly-like essence of the Cos.W My Real Skin Facial Mask - Apple leaves an initial tacky feeling after 30 minutes of wearing this thin, soft cotton cupra sheet mask. That tack dissipates once the serum is completely absorbed, leaving skin feeling wonderfully moisturized and looking beautifully glowy. The only disappointment is that the serum didn't smell of apples. This gwp mask will be on the "to buy" list for the next sheet mask haul. As will the Seraphine Botanicals Apple + Baume Glow Lip Mask๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ˜

 

Sheet Mask:

Spoiler
Mask:Cos.W My Real Skin Facial Mask Apple
Material:Thin, soft, cotton cupra
Adherence:Good; wears comfortably for the entire 30 minutes.
Fit: Large overall in terms of width and length, though from a width perspective, not enough to require cutting; length was about 1-1/2" too long at the chin. Adjustments needed to the inner corner of the eye openings.

Essence / Serum:Clear, viscous, similar to a jelly-like essence but is a little thinner in consistency.
Scent: Sadly, no apple scent. The scent my nose picked up made me think of grated ginger and bergamot. Lemon peel oil is included in the INCI list so that might explain the bergamot scent I picked up; not sure about the grated ginger though.
Claim(s):Brightening
Results:There's a tacky feel that dissipates after the skin has completely absorbed the serum. Skin feels wonderfully moisturized and looks beautifully glowy
Repurchase?:Absolutely! I plan to look into the other "flavors" as well.  

Lip Care:

Spoiler
The Seraphine Botanicals Apple + Baume Glow Lip Mask is a pinky-red tinted, lightly apple-scented, thick (but not too thick) balm that turns into a moisturizing oil upon contact with the warmth of the lips. It too is repurchase-worthy. I'll also be looking into the other lip masks the brand offers.

 

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

I received that lip mask in a boxycharm a few months ago and LOVE it!! @itsfi 

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

@lmaster, what a great product to receive in a sub box. I've been enjoying it a lot. Boxycharm seems to be a popular sub box on BIC and one that has some nice products! 

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

@itsfi I unsubbed like 4 months ago though, mainly because I was getting too much of products I was not thrilled with, very good deal though
