[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 💮

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💗

@Samtian, out of curiosity I looked up the INCI list to see if we might narrow down what triggered the stinging / burning feel for you. These eye masks contain “ascorbyl glucoside” (2nd to last ingredient posted), which is a derivative of Vitamin C. There are other ingredients in the eye masks that can cause a reaction so it might not be that or might not be that alone. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi Oh wow thank you!!! I really appreciate it! I'll pass these off to my mom. 

[heartsmyface]

@Samtian   Oh that’s disappointing they burned.  I know skincare isn’t Coaches thing so my assumption was they’d stick their name on some formula that worked.  They’re hilariously huge for eye masks but I guess they’ve got even the largest undereyes covered:D 
I’m of the opinion, when fashion houses make eye masks it’s just a money grab.  Moschino bears were cute though.  Extra disappointed they didn’t put a fun print on those.  Why the fun Coach packaging for plain white eye masks?  

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Haha no kidding! Yeah they could have had a fun design. 

[lmaster]

Love your expressions @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster 😄 thank you!

Awww - The Creme Shop Mask is so cute, @Samtian !!!

[Samtian]

@Tamara76 Haha it is! Red Pandas are one of my favorite animals.

[quspork]

Those eye masks are enormous, @Samtian! I'm sorry they didn't seem to work out. Burning sensations are just never good. 

[Samtian]

@quspork Thank you! Haha yeah my eyes get stung enough at work don't want more when I am trying to relax.

Hey everyone! I used the Sephora green tea mask, the new clean one - can't seem to get it to tag though. It was okay; not my favorite, but I'm picky when it comes to green tea masks. Didn't think it gave me a more matte look. It was mainly hydrating but it also tingled a bit which wasn't something I feel when using a green tea mask. Like I said, it was okay. I'm always looking to try out new green tea masks so I'm glad I got to try this one but I wouldn't say this is a "must have" for me.

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 well, bummer about this one! A green tea mask should be soothing, and this certainly doesn’t sound like it was. A couple that I have tried and enjoyed were the Holika Holika two-step brewing and Etude House.

@eshoe, we just bought an assorted pack of the Etude House masks after seeing a few of the ladies here raving about them. I grabbed the green tea one but have not used it yet. Good to know it's a good one. Lots of people here really seem to like these masks so I'm excited to try it.

[eshoe]

@nuinui933 I haven’t had a single miss with the assortment. I hope you find the same☺️

[Tamara76]

Ohhhh I need to try this one, @nuinui933 !!!

[nuinui933]

@Tamara76, it worked out for one of my roommates. Hope it works out for you.

[Samtian]

@nuinui933 That is good to know! Sorry it didn't work out.

[nuinui933]

@Samtian, win some, lose some, right? Just glad the tingling didn't last long. 

[quspork]

Agreed, @nuinui933, this is an ok mask, but it's not really wow-ing for a green tea option. 

[nuinui933]

@quspork, exactly. Do you have a green tea sheet mask you like? 

[quspork]

@nuinui933 I've enjoyed the green tea versions from the Etude House Therapy Air line and the Tosowoong Pure line.
