💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[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💗

@eshoe  The langeine gummy bear scent is to die for!! The watermelon mask sounds lovely!

[eshoe]

@ather the lip mask reminds me of children’s ibuprofen 😂 I enjoy the longevity but am really eyeing the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Peach Iced Tea! 

[ather]

@eshoe  Oh no. I totally can get that now that you said that. I believe @lmaster  tried the peach tea one. 

[eshoe]

Yep @ather @lmaster , now that I have officially finished my LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original, I am on the clock as the gummy one only has around two years left!😉😂

[ather]

@eshoe  😝 might need a back up!!! I actually like mini versions of lip masks and eye creams because for some reason they take me so long to finish and I end up throwing them out most of the time!

[lmaster]

@ather @eshoe oh yes!!! It's so so so good

[eshoe]

I am going to be trying it, @lmaster - hopefully sooner rather than later;)

@eshoe, I didn’t see anything in the INCI list to suggest a fruity-berry scent other than added fragrance and that just makes me wonder why the brand didn’t go for a fragrance that smelled fruity like a watermelon 🍉 instead?! 😆 Nice to hear it was a good mask for you even if it’s not a favorite.

[eshoe]

Have you tried this one yet, @itsfi? I tried a few different angles with the scents, but only came up with fruity. Which…I will totally take over floral! It wasn’t bad at all; fun, just not what I expected based on my first (and most amazingly fruit-basket-upset-scented) mask. Learning how to find more to love than dislike over the course of masking helps me to love it more in general. So fruity works sometimes, and that is ok😉

[itsfi]

@eshoe, I thought I had, but now I think I must have confused it with the avatara watermelon sheet mask. 🍉 The Target store closest to me carries both brands and I picked up one of each from both avatara and Vitamasques, or at least, one of each from the ones the store had in stock. 😉

[eshoe]

Ahh, that makes sense, @itsfi. At my Target they are all grouped together, and they all look equally appealing, which makes it so hard to make a decision. 

[lmaster]

@eshoe those tea masks are fun! Interesting about the scent on the watermelon mask, although it still sounds fabulous

[eshoe]

Yes they are @lmaster! And I have learned that sometimes no reaction is the best one of all;)

F is for Factr

• This is a thin, pink in color microfiber sheet
• Fit was good except over the eye area, just a bit small
• The scent was definitely herbal and reminds me of the scent from omorovicza products
• This is a bubble mask, the only issue I had was the eye area, after removing the sheet (10min) bubbles did produce past the eye holes
• I washed my face with the damp makeup eraser
• My skin did feel cleansed, not so much anything else
• It's not my favorite bubble mask, still fun to try though

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Bubble masks are pretty fun, but definitely more fun when it doesn't get into your eyes! As far as bubble masks go, I think I prefer the non-sheet mask kind 😉

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 yeah I can agree with that!! I love the pixie and pacific brands, the bliss one isn't too bad either

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I think the purple GlamGlow Instamud Mask is my favorite so far, but I haven't tried Pixie or Pacifica yet! 😃

[ather]

@lmaster  Bubble masks are fun. I wonder if they actually work tho!

[lmaster]

@ather I really like the glam glow ones, they really make my skin feel cleansed without the over drying feel

[ather]

@lmaster  I’ll have to try that one!!

[itsfi]

@lmaster, interesting that the scent was similar to Omorovicza. Was it as strong too? What’s your favorite bubble mask?
