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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
I donโt remember where I was when I first heard that, @PrettyPaint, but it comes to mind often now. Yesterday I made a special trip to Costco and picked up a supersize jar of colossal garlic and jalapeรฑo-stuffed olives. The entire way home I was looking forward to opening that jar and enjoying a couple. After I parked, I went around to the trunk, opened the door and tumbling out and onto the concrete was my jar. I stood staring at it for a few seconds, kind of feeling pity for all of that pent up excitement I had. Swept everything up and shared it with my husband when he got home. It didnโt take him more than a second to say, โAt least it didnโt break in the house.โ ๐
@eshoe hahah. I totally know that feeling. I've spent lots of time making a yummy treat only to drop it on the floor.
I am tired and totally misread what you wrote at first: "Swept everything up and shared it with my husband" - I interpreted as literally sweeping up the olives from the ground and sharing/giving them to your husband to eat. ๐
Lol nope, @PrettyPaint - unfortunately everything was a loss๐ None for my husband or I! Itโs funny when you read things mixed up like that, though:)
@haleyvvvv 2 out of 3 isn't bad!
Thank you, @lmaster!! That's a great way of looking at it!!
L is for last week's theme, BIC inspired masking - The Gastropods and Escar Go Go's world tour! ๐
Slowly, but surely, The Gastropods and Escar Go Go's have arrived for the US leg of their world tour! ๐
@itsfi Love this theme! Both of the wash off masks sound wonderful! Will definitely have to add those to my list! ...... and that shirt is fabulous! ๐
@Shosh85, I'll pretty much take any opportunity to use a gastropod mask, or I'll find a way to make an opportunity for snail masking. ๐ Both the non-sheet masks are wonderful; the peach slices one is a new favorite - stickiness aside (it eventually does go away), it hydrates my skin really well - noticeable difference! ๐
@itsfi Love your tee so much! That texture on the Lovinah is lovely! โค๏ธ I have tried the Facetory before and agree that it is probably just an average gastropod variety. Looking forward to the encore! ๐
Thank YOU @PrettyPaint, for such an awesome theme! Without it, The Gastropods and Escar Go Goโs might have never been. Itโs been a nice springboard for exercising some creativity. And I mean, this canโt be the last we hear of The Gastropods! ๐
What a fun line-up, @itsfi! You're right about there being some stiff competition out there for a good snail mask, but these all sound like they turned out well!
@quspork, the band name theme has really brought a smile to my face, and given me more opportunities to try out snail masks. ๐ Happy that there are a good amount of gastropod masks out there for me to try. ๐ While there are new ones to love, I also find that it can be hard to beat the oldies but goodies. โฅ๏ธ
@itsfi thank you for your review on the Peach Slices mask! That one has been in my cart for awhile now. I think I might go for it now. Love your tee๐
@eshoe, thereโs a lot of product in the peach slices mask so youโll get a lot of bang for your buck with it. ๐๐ผ Not sure which site youโll pick it up from but Ulta sometimes has a buy one get one half off for peach slices. The toner from the line is good too and the moisturizer is alright.
Thank you for the feedback on some of their other offerings, @itsfi. I need to restock my hydrating/calming/no frills masks and thought this would be a great add in to my stash. Sounds like it is just right!
@itsfi what beautiful packaging on that overnight mask,, looks like a couple lovely masks
@lmaster, thereโs a lovely luxe quality to the packaging on the Lovinah mask, isnโt there? I especially love that it also boasts some wonderful skincare ingredients and performs nicely. ๐
Loving the US leg of the tour and your "band shirt(?)" is too cute, @itsfi!! These all sound like winners, the wash off and sleeping ones are definitely getting added to my list.
Thank you @haleyvvvv! It was a fun way to work in one of the challenge themes and working with all the snail masks provided a welcome break from an otherwise busy time for me. ๐ The non-sheet masks masks are the standouts of this set of masks; I was happy to have the chance to give them a try. ๐
Yes, that is a tee! I had an idea for the set up of the photos for the "band tour" but just didn't have time to put all the pieces together, so I just went with a couple of tees in the drawer. I imagine the band theme could apply to future masking sessions I have so I can put that photo together when I have more free time. For now, the tees work - I mean, "what's a concert without a tee?", right?! ๐
Masking over the past couple of weeks:
K Week: Kale and a couple of BIC Made Me Do It! goodies.
Fruits and Veggies Weeks along with โLโ
โ
@eshoe, lots of multi-masking. The Topicals on sounds really good. You said something about a just getting it done mask: is using a sheet mask a regular part of your skincare regimen?
