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?

  • This is a bio cellulose mask as it does say on the back @itsfi ๐Ÿ˜† although it did seem thinner than most bios I've tried
  • The fit was great in all areas
  • Tons of extra clear serum
  • I didn't notice much of a scent
  • Wear time was 20 minutes
  • Results were calmed redness, hydrated and lightly moisturized skin
  • No lasting tackiness
  • I really enjoyed this mask, it would be one I would definitely use again IMG_20210709_212126282.jpg

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

@lmaster  The results sound wonderful! I love how short the ingredient list is, and that Cica is at the top of it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

@Shosh85 agree!! This one is a diamond in the rough ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

This one sounds lovely, @lmaster!

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

@quspork can't stress enough how fabulous this one is

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

@lmaster, sounds like a great mask! How much was it? 

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

You can get it through facetory for $4 @FullCoverageBB 

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

@lmaster, this one sounds good, especially that Cica extract coming in as the first ingredient listed, and at 83%! ๐Ÿ’š Is this a more recently purchased mask? Iโ€™m finding that more bio-cellulose masks are the newer generation ones, and thus, thinner than the ones on the market when I first started using sheet masks. I do like the thinner version; it feels softer and clings even better! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ 

 

PS. Of course this one would say what the material is. ๐Ÿ˜† Watch!! Every mask I use this week will say what material is used. Lol.

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

This was actually one I received in facetory @itsfi that is the only subscription I've kept around,,, ohh for the love of masks!! ๐Ÿ˜†

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

B for belated. Meant to use this mask as another A mask last week but just got caught up with work and life and didn't get around to this one until earlier this week.

tl;dr:  Dr. Althea Water Glow Aqua Ampoule Mask is a soft, thin, sheet soaked in a clear, slightly viscous freshly scented serum having a hit of a soft, floral fragranceAdherence is great and fit is typical of most sheet masks. An half hour of wear yields the results claimed by the mask - skin is hydrated, bouncy and slightly brightened.

 

Spoiler
Mask:Dr. Althea Water Glow Aqua Ampoule Mask
Material:Soft and thin cotton
Adherence:Great, clings beautifully to the curves and contour of the face
Fit: Typical of most sheet masks, which for me means an inch too long at the chin with adjustments needed to the corners of the mouth and eyes
Essence / Serum:Clear, slightly viscous serum that's fairly standard in most sheet masks
Scent: Freshly scented, with a hint of a floral fragrance
Claim(s):Hydrated and glowy skin
Other Noteworthy Qualities:Contains soothing ingredients such as ceramides and allantoin.  This may be an older version of the mask. Dr. Althea has undergone a redesign with its packaging for many of their sheet masks.
Results:There's a tackiness to the skin after removing the mask and patting in the excess serum. That tack dissipates immediately upon following up with moisturizer. Skin felt soothed, hydrated, bouncy and with a slightly brightened complexion

Repurchase?:Probably. 

 

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

@itsfi  The packaging is great on this one - simple yet creative ๐Ÿ˜Š The results sound really nice!

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

@Shosh85, I've not tried many sheet masks from this brand but the ones I have had performed well. I feel like their sheet masks are no-nonsense, straightforward, simple but effective, a great combination, in my opinion. ๐Ÿ˜Š

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

@itsfi  

I wished that charcoal stick mask was still around.

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

@elleb810, I agree!!! I'm still hoping that Sephora will release a similar concept in its clean line. It may not be the same flavors, but it would be nice to see other masks in stick form. I found them to be very convenient.

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

@itsfi  

I like checking things off or crossing action items off my list and there's something very satisfying about that package design.

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

@missy94612, me too!! I'm sure that's one of the reasons my eyes zoomed in on this mask in the store. ๐Ÿ˜€ 

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

@itsfi I didn't realize that was it's actual packaging until I saw the very bottom of it lol I thought it was just your creativity. 

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

Ha, same, @Samtian. I thought "Oh look how optimistic and inspiring @itsfi is being with her list!" and then scrolled down to see the rest of the mask package. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's ok though, it's still optimistic and inspiring even if it's just the packaging! 

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

Hahaha! No such luck @quspork @Samtian! Itโ€™s just the packaging, but I may make an effort to be optimistic and inspiring later in the year. Daily sheet masking beyond a few consecutive days sounds a little daunting at the moment. ๐Ÿ˜† But weโ€™ll seeโ€ฆ

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

@Samtian, awww, that's such a huge compliment. I'm blushing. ๐Ÿ˜ I love the design of the packaging; it's what drew me to the mask in the first place.

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

@itsfi, looks so fun!
