💕😌 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💗

Such gorgeous pictures, @eshoe!! These all sound great. The volition mask especially is calling to me. 

[eshoe]

Thank you, @haleyvvvv! I have about one use left of the Volition, I picked it up in one of their Mystery bags and am 🤞🏼 they offer it again.

For this weeks fruit and veggies theme, I went with this cherry mask 🍒

Spoiler

Peripera Sparkling TokTok Time Sheet Mask ~ Cherry Refreshing

Material:

Super thin, possibly tencel?

Serum:

Clear, thin watery. Not much extra in the pouch but the mask was fully saturated.

Scent:

Very light cherry scent - barely noticeable while the mask was on

Fit:

Just a tad long at the chin and a hair too wide at the temples

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

Very light, stuck around for about 10 minutes

Results:

My face looked a little brighter and felt soft and smooth and nicely moisturized  with a little glow

Repurchase?

Yes, for as long as I can anyway. Peripera will no longer be making masks, but I will repurchase pretty much any of them until I can't find them anymore!

@Shosh85 

THis masks looks so refreshing.

[Shosh85]

@elleb810  It definitely was! They did such a great job with the packaging too! 😃

[eshoe]

So disappointing to see this line go, @Shosh85. Makes the masking session seem almost bittersweet😢

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  That's just how it goes, the minute you fall in love with something, it gets discontinued! Definitely bittersweet!

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I’m bummed the brand is phasing out its masks. I’ve used the masks from the juice series and the smoothie collection. I haven’t tried any of the ones from this line but saw a couple online the other day. 🤔 The packaging looks refreshing and the results sound great! 👍🏼 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  The smoothie line is my favorite! Peripera has probably been my favorite brand for masks, so you know, of course they're going to stop making them 😢 They always nail the packaging too!

[itsfi]

Oh wow, @Shosh85, I didn't realize Peripera was your favorite mask brand. That says a lot about these masks. The smoothie line is great; I've tried most of them, I think - blueberry, avocado and mango. I have pomegranate and lime still to try. 

[quspork]

Love these sparkling ones, @Shosh85. I don't think I've tried the cherry version but it sounds like a good one!

[Shosh85]

@quspork  I bought the whole line, but have only tried this one so far! Which one is your favorite out of the ones you've tried?

[quspork]

Love the lime one, @Shosh85-- so refreshing!

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 ohhhh this one sounds absolutely perfect!!

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yup, not much to complain about! Even the packaging is great! 

[elleb810]

This is $55 well spent!! Reusable, depuffs, doesn't cause my rosacea to flare up, and feels soothing and refreshingly cool on my skin. There are also acupressure points that I can't say one way or another do anything. And yeah, it gives off some Hannibal Lecter vibes that scared my dog (sorry Murph!) and made my boyfriend flinch (sorry Babe!) But we both agree it could make for a cool Halloween costume next month.

@elleb810 - oh wow! This one looks pretty cool. That's quite an investment. How often do you use it?

[elleb810]

@eshores 

Right now I've been using it twice a week - once on the weekend and then once during the week. 

[Shosh85]

@elleb810  Oh, I've been so interested in this one so I appreciate your review! I'm seriously considering this one - it sounds great! 😃

[eshoe]

Ooooh thank you for the review on this, @elleb810! It is an interesting concept. I wonder how it compares to using a dermaroller. Curious if you need to apply pressure in order for it to work effectively🤔

[itsfi]

@elleb810, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the new CT mask! I know there were many maskers here that were interested in it. I thought I read that you're supposed to put it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before use. I'm not sure if I would plan far enough ahead to do that but I can see how that creates that refreshing and cooling feel you talked about.
