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
@itsfi Oooh, I haven't seen this one - it sounds wonderful! Love a good honey/propolis mask! ๐ฏ๐
Yes @Shosh85, ๐๐ผ love a good honey / propolis sheet masks! ๐๐ฏ Itโs one of a handful of ingredients that always makes me pause just a little while longer when Iโm โฆ โjust browsingโ online . ๐๐
@itsfi does sound really nice!
@lmaster, it was! Then again, it is a propolis mask so we were off to a good start before even opening the packet! ๐ ๐๐ฏ
This sounds like a great everyday mask, especially nourishing!! @itsfi
@haleyvvvv, itโs such a comfortable and comforting mask. ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฏ Wonderful for this seasonal shift in temperature and weather conditions. Iโve been very happy with several generous samples / gratis that have come with some online Kbeauty purchases. ๐ฅฐ I donโt think I would have known about this brand otherwise.
Truly K beauty online retailers' sample game is fabulous, @itsfi!!
@haleyvvvv, they sure know how to entice repeat business. Iโve learned of some great products through the years just from the samples.
I'd Forgotten about the When masks I have in my collection, so I pulled out one for my Saturday firming mask.
Cotton linter Bemliese(?) sheet that purports to help revitalize worn out skin through firming and antioxidant ingredients.
Ingredients
Standouts: Sodium hylauronate (4th), Arginine (7th)
Sadness: While an effect dose could be small, the ingredients called out in the front start at ingredient 10. Lemonene and fragrance (although thankfully last)
Fit
Width was good.
Eye holes good.
Nose area not great.
Chin too long and kept falling down.
Sheet was thin and lovely texture.
Essence
Thin, clear, aqueous.
A bit extra but not overflowing. Enough to use on my decollotage but not arms.
No real scent.
Definitely tacky but I mask at night so I don't mind. My neck was still tacky in the morning.
Wear Time
10-20 but I left on like 25-30. Sheet was only drying around edges at this time.
Effect
On my decollotage my skin was definitely smoother, softer and plumper. On my face it was a little plumper and softer. However that seemed to go away when I added the rest of my nighttime routine. I don't think a single sheet mask can do a lot for firming though.
Overall Grade
A solid B/B-. The sheet itself was great. I'm excited to try it with a different formula. The serum would be a great neck serum, not so much the face.
@haleyvvvv When masks are nice, but the chin flap does seem to be a persistent problem!
Agreed, @eshoe!! I just used another one and it was the same issue. But other than that it was pretty good fit!!
@haleyvvvv, the Simply When sheet masks are nice. This one does sound like it would make for a fabulous neck serum. I find myself often wishing that brands would bottle the essence / serum from a mask as a standalone product.
@itsfi I'm really impressed with the sheets themselves!! I have 4 more made on the same type so I'm excited to see how those work!!
Yes!! There's quite a few mask essences that I would just buy.
Iโve never seen this version before @haleyvvvv !
i agree though, the firming masks are kind of hard to judge because what could happen in one use! It sounds like it was nicely plumping though !
@Kim888 I got it as part of one of their sample packs!! I just checked and it's still a mask they make.
@haleyvvvv When makes some great masks! It's been a while since I tried this one, but I remember liking as well! ๐
I have a few different When masks with later expiration dates in my stash that I'm excited to try, @Shosh85!!
@haleyvvvv the ingredients sound really good!
Yeah, I just wish some of them were higher up in the ingredient list, @lmaster.
J for a jelly mask...
SNP's Fresh Vita Water Jelly. This one is very jelly-like in consistency (no surprise), and there's a ton of serum. It's a cellulose sheet that adheres very well. It's quite hydrating, though it's a bit sticky/messy. As a result, it's one I'd probably avoid if I had to apply makeup afterwards because it didn't fully sink in and left a bit too much film on my skin than I would prefer. It's a good stay at home/weekend mask, though.
@PrettyPaint - the drawing looks refreshing; it's too bad about all that film that it leaves.
