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 ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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 masks๐
@Shosh85 that is disappointing it didn't do a good job! I always have high expectations for pumpkin !
@Kim888 It was fine, just nothin' special. I'd probably put it in the filler mask category. I would've loved if it smelled like Pumpkin!
@Shosh85, having the spotlight ingredient at the end of the INCI list is disappointing to say the least, and just feels wrong. ๐ It seems like that is how many of the BioBelle masks are formulated. ๐ There are some good ingredients in this mask though; itโs just too bad the main one wasnโt further up on the list.
@itsfi I wouldn't say this is a bad mask, just not as good as the originals. It's especially disappointing when fragrance is higher than the star ingredients ๐
@Shosh85, the originals were hard to beat and I can't say that my experiences with the new varieties have come close to matching the originals. Like you said, they're not bad; they're just not the original version. ๐
Guys while Iโm hanging with you all here ( โบ๏ธ) I have a question. Lol. Forgive if itโs been covered before but I donโt always stay up to date on here tho I know I should ๐ Have any of you tried the Sio masks? Do they even count as a true mask?! ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ They frequently offer good deals and I always wonder if they are worth a go? Signed, desperate as I get older, trying not to do anything invasive etc โฆ๐ญ!
@Sunnysmom I have and use them. They really donโt do much that I have noticed. I wouldnโt waste your money on it.
Oh thank you @SportyGirly125 , good to know then. Money saved. ๐
Some recent masking, with a couple that I have been longing to try for awhile now!
โ
Those hydrogel lip masks look interesting; do you think they work or would work if used regularly?
@missy94612 I think with consistent use, pretty much anything will affect whatever it is you area treating to some degree. That being saidโฆI use balm/gloss constantly. I think of these as kind of gimmicky, but in my head, feel like I am giving my skin come extra love when using ๐
The scent on the Lychee masks sounds wonderful, @eshoe!
It is pretty delicious, @quspork. A wash-off with this scent would be amazing, too!
@eshoe, all of that packaging is adorable!
Companies do a great job of appealing to our visual senses, donโt they @FullCoverageBB? I love the glass jars and bottles, I like to try to find a way to reuse them when possible.
@eshoe, nice to hear the Vitamasques lychee mask did not disappoint. It's one of my favorite masks and, like @Shosh85, I've picked up more from the brand. Did you purchase any of the other "flavors"?
Isn't that Bioderm lip balm great?! A thoughtful and excellent gift from @missjeanie!
So far the lychee one has been the only one I have picked up, @itsfi. Not sure which one to try next, but based on this one, I anticipate good things! If there is one (or more) you recommend for the next Target run, do tell!
@eshoe, "one (or more)" - heehee! Appreciate the wiggle room for recs. lol. The pineapple ๐one from this line is nice, but it does have natural exfoliating properties so it requires some extra mindfulness when it comes to scheduling when to use that one. Also the watermelon ๐ from the same line is great for hydration ๐ - it markets itself as an "electrolyte hydrating watermelon" mask which makes me think I'm putting Gatorade on my face. ๐คฃ Not saying that's good or bad. lol. There's also 3-step cactus mask pack that looks good - that contains salicylic acid, or one of the steps does. I'm finding that each Target store in my city has a different inventory/selection of these Vitamasques sheet masks, so yours may have other ones from the brand's different collections. Tagging @Shosh85; she may have insight on other masks from the brand.
@itsfi I did not see this before my run to Target today, but did pick up the Watermelon Electrolyte one! I bounced back and forth between that and the Cherry one (the Cactus, alas, was not in stock but I had already added it to my online list). I also brought home the Avatara Peach Beachโฆreally ๐ค๐ผ for a fresh ๐ scent on that one! @Shosh85
@eshoe I might have not started picking up the Vitamasques masks if it weren't for @itsfi reviewing this Lychee one a while back! So happy to hear you enjoyed this one!
I saw a bunch of the Glamfox brand when I was in TJ Maxx last and wondered about them! If you had said it was like the Missha mask, I probably would've immediately ran out the door to pick some up ๐
Thanks @Shosh85! With our mutual love of sheet masks and Target, I'm sure you would have come across these Vitamasques on your own. Out of curiosity, I looked up when I first used this one; it was February of this year - not as long ago as I thought; how time has flown by. ๐ฎ It reminded me that I first used a mask from the brand Vitamasques going back even further, maybe 2018? They had a much smaller range of products and their distribution network wasn't as extensive as it is now. @eshoe, when I used the Vitamasques lychee mask earlier this year, I compared it to the Sephora Collection "clean" lychee mask.
