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 💮

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 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. 

[quspork]

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. 😂 That's ok though, it's still optimistic and inspiring even if it's just the packaging! 

[itsfi]

Hahaha! No such luck @quspork @Samtian! It’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. 😆 But we’ll see…

[itsfi]

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

[FullCoverageBB]

@itsfi, looks so fun! 

[itsfi]

@FullCoverageBB, this was a good, fun masking sesh - with these three goodies, clear, hydrated, bouncy skin and a lovely hydrating touch of color on my lips. I just followed up with my moisturizer, SPF and concealer and I was good to go! 😁

[lmaster]

Love a mask that stands up to it's claims @itsfi now.... Is that a lip mask in the upper left 😊

[itsfi]

@lmaster, 100% agree. 

Not a lip mask, a lip gel. 😍 It's WLDKAT CBD.50 MG Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin A + E Lip Gel in the shade Forbidden Fruit - it has a gel-balm consistency, glides on effortlessly, feels hydrating, and leaves a fab stain resembling the color of my lips after eating a popsicle when I was a kid . . . or nowadays. Ha! It also has a hint of a passion fruit scent but you have to really put the want near your nose to pick it up. It's a great lippie for any time of the year but I've been loving it this summer - this has been what I've been reaching for when I want the moisturizing properties of a lip balm but with a lighter, hydrating consistency (psst... @missjeanie @Shosh85). The gorgeous stain it leaves doesn't hurt either! 😉 Would love to see this brand at Sephora @TeamBIC 

[Shosh85]

@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. 

[Kim888]

@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.
