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
@Samtian, I kept wondering when the stinging / prickly feeling would end. ๐ฒ But it did and I was so happy when it did.
@itsfi Any idea what ingredient/s caused it? I will definitely stay away from that one.
That's a great question @Samtian. At an initial glance, I would guess it might be the biotin or added fragrance in the product, or a combination of both. I've taken biotin before, orally, but not topically, at least not that I can recall. I also don't recall seeing it as an ingredient in masks or skincare products I've used in recent years, though I can't be absolutely sure of that.
I've spent the last couple of nights looking up a few ingredients on the INCI list that I'm not familiar with. Most of them seem to be emulsifiers and that could also be a cause of the stinging, whether on its own or in any number of combination with the other ingredients. I'd have to find a way to isolate any of these suspects in order to be certain or narrow down the list of likely suspects, but I'm not sure how (or if I want) to go about doing that with all the ones in this mask that might have triggered that reaction. So for now, I'll rehome this mask and steer clear of it.
@itsfi sounds like a better plan!
@Samtian, my face 100% agrees. ๐๐
Oh no that sounds terrible @itsfi !
@Kim888, I donโt recall ever having such a experience with a mask, wash off or a sheet mask! ๐ณ Definitely not the mask for me.
โTotal yikesโ is right @lmaster! This is the first time Iโve felt stinging for so long after washing off the mask. ๐ฑ
Reached for this one last night. For @keana1's overnight mask theme, but it could also fit into the "hi" side of this week's "hi-lo" theme.
NEST New York Mini Autumn Plum Candle 2 oz/ 70 g 1-wick candle
This mask sounds so luxe. I've only ever tried the rose oil from Sisley and it was wonderful
Oooouh @missy94612, Iโve heard good things about the Sisley rose oil! ๐ This black rose mask is definitely a treat.
!@itsfi
This sounds fancy. I think I have a foil of it somewhere. Now I know what to expect.
@elleb810, samples are great for trying out products. Do let us know how you like it!
I'm afraid to try it, lest I like it and need to have it. LOL.
@itsfi Lovely picture!!! Itโs to bad such a great mask is so spendy. Darn them. Maybe a great sale will come around making the restock hard to pass up!
Thank you @ather! ๐ค My plan is to do an eval at or around the end of the year (which means I probably won't get around to it until early January - hahaha!) of my skincare, and masks especially, and figure out what I want to do going forward in terms of keeping a more streamlined and curated collection. That's the plan, at least. We will find out whether that actually happens. lol.
@itsfi This one sounds so wonderful! Sometimes, I sort of hate it when I love a sample of an expensive product ๐
Right @Shosh85??! I always have mixed feelings about getting samples of fancy-schmancy expensive products. Because their price tag makes me not want to like them, let alone love them. Costco of all places carried this mask (the entire Sisley Black Rose line at one point) and I took the plunge when there was a good rebate offered.
I've contemplated that mask! @itsfi I'm on a mission to get through my masks before taking that wallet plunge ๐
โWallet plungeโ is such a good term @lmaster! ๐๐ผ Completely hear you on getting though your masks - it feels so good once youโve done that. You got this! ๐๐ผ
