[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💗

@itsfi  Oh, that consistency sounds perfect! Love a good lip stain! 😍

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I wish this one came in more colors; there are 2 others, but the shades didn't catch my eye. This tube actually feels like it's never ending; there's a lot of product in it. Another plus! 😀

[missjeanie]

@itsfi and it stains too!!!! Lol I’m caught in a bit of a circle lately thinking that I need to use up the balms i have versus ‘oh newness’!! 

[itsfi]

Lol @missjeanie, I’m all too familiar with that. I debated whether to tag you; didn’t want to steer you off a no buy, but I couldn’t help it with this one. 😬 Hope your efforts to use up your balms is plugging along! 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi  I’m always down for tag! 😂 My loves list keeps growing but now I’m in a bit of a ‘maybe the border will open and I’ll get a trip in’ mentality with my shopping! I mean… if I use things up they need to be replaced right? 

[itsfi]

Absolutely @missjeanie! Fully support your outlook and approach. 👊🏼 Of course they need to be replenished!! 😉 I get the  considerations and precautions with opening up the border but I’ll also be very happy when travel restrictions are lifted and it does open back up. Looking forward to that.

@itsfi how fun is that packaging! this sounds like a really interesting mask - a nice floral scent is always great

[itsfi]

@Kim888, while I like the new packaging of the Dr. Althea sheet masks, I was bummed that this original packaging was discontinued; it is a fun one. At the same time though, it's so much larger than necessary for the sheet mask so I understand the direction Dr. Althea went with it. More importantly, it was a great mask.

B is for bioBELLE 

Spoiler

bioBELLE #Cutiepie Exfoliate & Brighten  Sheet Mask

Material:

Thin cotton

Serum:

Clear, thin

Scent:

A light, sweet sort of scent that was hard to pinpoint exactly, but I do think I smelled a hint of maple.

Fit:

A little too long at the chin and a bit too wide

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

Light, stuck around for about 10 minutes

Results:

Soft, smooth, and moisturized skin with a little glow

Repurchase?

The packaging is cute and the results were decent, but for a brightening mask it didn't do much brightening. I'll have no problem using the ones I have left, but won't be repurchasing. There are just better brightening masks out there. I'm also a little annoyed that the star ingredients are at the end of the list and Fragrance is almost in the middle of the list 🤨

[missy94612]

@Shosh85  

How odd that the main ingredients are the last two on the list? That's too bad.

[Shosh85]

@missy94612  This brand used to be really good. Then they discontinued all their originals and now it seems most/all their masks have fragrance listed high and the star ingredients listed at the end. It's just disappointing ☹️

[missy94612]

@Shosh85  

That is disappointing. It stinks when a company makes a change and it's not for the better.

[quspork]

::nods in agreement:: Yes, pretty much the same thoughts on this one, @Shosh85. It's a shame that Biobelle switched up so many of their really good masks for ones that are really just ok. 

[Shosh85]

@quspork  I really miss the originals! Those were some of my favorite masks! These new ones are definitely disappointing! 😕

[FullCoverageBB]

@Shosh85, that mask packaging looks so yummy! Lol. Did it smell good? 

[Shosh85]

@FullCoverageBB  It was a light scent and didn't really smell like much - would've loved a pumpkin scent! 

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I have a couple of these left, I love a good fragrance,,, but like you,,I want to see it at the end of the list

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Fragrance high up in the list is annoying, but it's even more annoying that it's also higher than the star ingredients 😕

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 that is disappointing it didn't do a good job! I always have high expectations for pumpkin !

[Shosh85]

@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! 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, having the spotlight ingredient at the end of the INCI list is disappointing to say the least, and just feels wrong. 😔 It seems like that is how many of the BioBelle masks are formulated. 😖 There are some good ingredients in this mask though; it’s just too bad the main one wasn’t further up on the list.
