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
V is for Vita - gifted to me from the lovely @eshoe!
SNP Fresh Vita Firming Jelly Mask
Material:
Thin, meshy cotton
Serum:
Thick slimy jelly- loved it!
Scent:
Not much of a scent, mostly just sheet mask smell with maybe just a very faint fruity scent.
Fit:
Not quite wide enough by the ears and just a little too long at the chin
Wear Time:
40 minutes
Tack:
Very light tack, but it stuck around for about a half hour.
Results:
Soft, hydrated, moisturized and bouncy skin with a little glow
Repurchase?
Yup, this is one I'd repurchase! Loved the jelly serum and the results were great!
A big thank you to eshoe for sending me this one!
@Shosh85 - this looks refreshing.
Looks and sounds refreshing @Shosh85!
@itsfi It definitely was! A nice thick jelly ids always a treat! ๐
Ooooh this is fun looking @Shosh85 ! Glad it worked out well for you!
@Kim888 The packaging is definitely fun! - but the great results make it even better! ๐
โThick slimy jelly- loved it!โ
Hurrah for a mask that brought a little soothing to your skin, @Shosh85! 40 minutes is a pretty decent wear time, I seem to struggle finding a mask like that more recently but now that I think about it, humidity might have something to do with it.
So happy this was an enjoyable mask for you โบ๏ธ
@eshoe This was such a great one! I love a good jelly mask! Thanks so much!
@Shosh85 ohhhh that mask looks and sounds like it would be exceptionally great during the summer too
@lmaster I agree, I think it'd be super refreshing in the summer! โ๏ธ
V for Vitamasques and Vitamins C and B9, and a wintery mask for the holiday season (thanks @LilaMJ)! ๐
LuLuLun Premium Snow White Vanilla Face Mask (Winter Limited Edition) โ๏ธ
๐ฏ Vitamasques Manuka Honey Face Sheet Mask ๐ฏ
๐ Sephora Collection Clean Face Mask Strawberry ๐
@itsfi All of these sound great!
I saw that Vitamasque mask at Walmart and almost grabbed it, but I'm on a mask no-buy so I talked myself out of it ๐ Sounds like a decent mask, but I'm not crazy about that alcohol being so high in the ingredients. Glad there was no irritations for you.
I agree, the Strawberry mask might just be my favorite Sephora mask! Interesting about the difference in scents! I bought a couple prior to the gratis that I still have yet to try, so I'll be curious to compare those to the one in the gratis! I do feel like I need to sniff it again because I'm pretty sure I'm the only that smelled more watermelon than strawberry ๐ค
Good for you for sticking with your no buy @Shosh85! ๐๐ That's awesome, especially this time of the year. At the moment, I have a long list of categories that fall in the "no buy" bucket. Imagine that. ๐๐ฉ๐ Working on making it through the rest of the sale season relatively unscathed. Hahaha!
I know I shouldn't be, but it catches me off guard every time I see straight up alcohol within the top 5 ingredients in sheet masks. I'm not a chemist or an expert on these things, but it just seems like it could be / should be further down the list; like near the very end, immediately before added fragrance if that's included. Or, somewhere in the middle. Within the first 5 ingredients though?!! Good grief!!
I'm so happy to hear you like the strawberry mask. ๐ Oh, watermelon? ๐ You have a good sense of smell so I'll have to pay more attention the next time I use the strawberry mask. My favorites of the SC clean masks are lychee (though I prefer the Vitamasques version of it), spirulina and strawberry. And the watermelon after-sun mask; that one always finds a way into my stash.
@itsfi I'm the same. I won't buy masks anymore that have alcohol in the first 5 ingredients! If I happen to receive one I'll still use it though!
I'll definitely have to use my other Sephora Strawberry masks, to see if I still smell watermelon and also to test to see how the scent compares to the gratis one. The batch codes on all the masks are the same, so I'd be super confused if they were actually different ๐ค
I forgot about the after sun mask! ..... I think I might actually like that one more than the strawberry one. Spirulina is 3rd place for me. ๐
The cupcake looks yummy, @itsfi, but that lemon water looks especially refreshing! The LuLuLun sounds delightful, too, with its lingering vanilla scent. I think of vanilla cake when I think of vanilla in skin/body care products, which makes me extra curious about this one.
@eshoe, the vanilla scent in the LuLuLun mask has less of a baked goods scent. There's something else in the fragrance that I can't pinpoint at the moment. The scent is lovely though. ๐
That is ok, @itsfi. I am not a huge fan of baked goods scents in beauty products, so this is a โto tryโ one.
Oooh, such nice descriptions! I have some LuLuLuns from Hawaii and Japan I should use soon! @itsfi
Thank you @sister13! Oooh, sheet masks from Hawaii and Japan? Sounds wonderful! I love picking up thing from places visited and using them later - brings back memories. I'll be very interested to see your masks and hear your thoughts on them. I haven't tried all the different sheet mask collections from LuLuLun but the ones I have seem to be well saturated with serum and do a good job. ๐
