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 ๐ฎ
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
Oh wow. I don't think I've tried a snail mask but the creamy serum on this one sounds like it would be wonderful. Another gorgeous photo. Do you usually keep notes on your masks in a notebook?
@missy94612, the serum on this mask was great for my skin. ๐๐ผ Snail mucin ๐ wonโt be for everyone but it works well for me; I love it. I know some folks here have given it a try and loved it as well.
I have a few different ways of taking notes on masks, a combination of handwritten and digital ones.
Going way back to last monthโs multi-step mask challenge, and an E for Electrolyte:
This Holika Holika Chamomile Tea Brew Sheet Mask was the final of four that I tried, the others being Lavender, Green Tea and Hibiscus. This is a straightforward two-step mask. After removing the tea sachet from the upper pouch, it is placed into the larger packet and allowed to โsteepโ for a few minutes. I kneaded it a bit, then removed and applied to my my face. Unlike the Lavender and Green Tea, this one did not have much of a scent. It also did not turn pink, like the Hibiscus did. The serum was watery, and the mask fit fairly well, with a bit of flyaway occurring around the chin area after a few minutes. It felt soothing, although I preferred the Green Tea for its gentle and calming scent. Not a bad mask, I would definitely use it again but wonโt be in a hurry to repurchase.
Ingredients:
Vitamasques Electrolyte Watermelon
@eshoe Those Holika Holika Tea masks are fun! The Camomile is the only one I haven't tried yet - it sounds nice!
I have the Watermelon Vitamasques mask, but haven't tried it yet - I'm super curious about the scent now! I would've hoped for Watermelon, but fruity/berry isn't so bad either ๐
You know, @Shosh85 - you are right. Fruity isnโt bad at all. Itโs just like when you take a sip out of a glass expecting water, but instead it is milk๐คช๐ง
The chamomile mask looks fun.
It was, @missy94612. But I am still curious how well a regular tea bag would work if I slipped it into an opened mask packet๐ค
Do you think you'll try that? Would be interesting to see if you got the same results, wouldn't it?
@missy94612I have a pound of hibiscus petals that I ordered in error, and I do intend to steep them in a mask. Time to figure out if that will be a DIY or just placing it into a generously-soaked sheet mask packet๐
A pound? Oh, I hope you or someone in your house likes hibiscus tea. lol.
Well I think I can use some portion for masks, @missy94612 - based on my experienceโบ๏ธ
@eshoe The langeine gummy bear scent is to die for!! The watermelon mask sounds lovely!
@ather the lip mask reminds me of childrenโs ibuprofen ๐ I enjoy the longevity but am really eyeing the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Peach Iced Tea!
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!๐๐
@eshoe ๐ 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!
I am going to be trying it, @lmaster - hopefully sooner rather than later;)
@eshoe, I didnโt 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 didnโt go for a fragrance that smelled fruity like a watermelon ๐ instead?! ๐ Nice to hear it was a good mask for you even if itโs not a favorite.
Have you tried this one yet, @itsfi? I tried a few different angles with the scents, but only came up with fruity. WhichโฆI will totally take over floral! It wasnโt 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 ok๐
