💕😌 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 💮

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?

@Shosh85 yes they do! Idk if I've tried that one 🤣 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I don’t think I’ve tried this one but I like a few from the line. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi it was good, forgot I even had these 😅

[eshoe]

@lmaster ugh I have forgotten about these, too! The Yuzu one is a good one, too. Thank you for the reminder 🙂

[lmaster]

@eshoe oh my gosh!! There are so many I've forgotten about,, and bought multiples of,, with expiration in mind, it was their time 🤣

I've been mostly using these Etude House masks for the last few months, because they're good and super affordable and also because it's just easy not having to think about what mask to use while studying for mid-terms and exams. I just finished my last exam this morning - woo hoooooo!!! and have one last paper to turn in by Tuesday, but it's all done and I just need to proof it one last time. So I thought I would put on a mask and do a marathon read here to catch up on all the masks - wowwwy, you guys used a ton of good ones!

One of my favorite lines, @nuinui933! I'm glad to hear that they worked out well for you. And congrats on finishing up the semester!

[nuinui933]

@quspork  it's so good. I am excited to try every one I can get my hands on. Is there one in the line that you really like?

[quspork]

@nuinui933 There a bunch that I enjoy honestly, but the pearl one and the artemesia one both come to mind. I have a few on hand that I plan to compare pretty soon. 

[nuinui933]

@lmaster @PrettyPaint @eshoe @itsfi @sister13 @Shosh85   Thank you so much! I turned in my paper first thing on Monday so I wouldn't forget or have it hanging over my head! It's been so nice to just chill too! 

[eshoe]

Hurrah!!! Time for a little celebration, @nuinui933! it doesn’t matter how small (or big!) it may be…that is a huge accomplishment. Time to enjoy a bit of peace🕊

[lmaster]

They definitely have a mask for everyone! @nuinui933 

[PrettyPaint]

@nuinui933  Wow, that's very aesthetically pleasing to look at all those varieties. I really need to try some more from the line. And that is so great that you are finished for the semester. I am impressed that you already completed your paper as well! I hope you can take some time to relax and celebrate!

[eshoe]

It must feels absolutely ahhhh-mazing to be finished with everything for the semester, @nuinui933! Way to go, time to catch up on all of the pampering and relaxation you have set aside over the past few months. This is such a great set, it is a consistent repeat for me as well 🙂 

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, woo hoo!!! 🎉🎉 Congrats with finishing with your exams! And, brava for having your paper in near final form ahead of time! You're awesome! It must feel so good to be almost completely done!! A pampering sesh, noooo, lots of pampering sessions are called for - well earned!! 

The masks from this EH line are quite good! I haven't used every flavor yet, but nothing has fallen below a "like" - always a good sign. Love that they are affordable and readily available! If I'm remembering correctly, you like green tea sheet masks, yes? Have you tried the green tea one from this collection? 🍵

[nuinui933]

@itsfi omg, you have a good memory. I looooove green tea sheet masks and I've tried the one from Etude House - it's one I buy in packs of 10 when I find them. I like it better than the Innisfree ones I had been using - I still use those too but like the EH one more.

[sister13]

Congratulations on finishing your exams! Nice job and nice masks! @eshoe 

[eshoe]

@sister13 I am guessing you meant to tag @nuinui933 😉

[sister13]

Oh my goodness, yes, thanks for the correction! Congratulations @nuinui933 ! @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@nuinui933 Yay! It's gotta feel good to have those mid-terms and exams behind you! Pampering yourself is a great way to celebrate!
Etude House makes some pretty great masks, and this is a good solid line! I've really liked a lot of these! I think my only beef with some of the masks in this picture is the alcohol content, but I've really loved quite a few from this line!

Have you tried all of these? I'm curious to know which one's are favorites?!😃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I need to look at which ones I have left in my stash, but do all of the masks from this series contain alcohol? Or is it just certain serum types within the line? That would be total let down if they all contained alcohol across the board. 😞 I have this thought that there's a couple of essence/serum types in this range that are alcohol-free, maybe? Or am I confusing these with the Innisfree Real Squeeze line of masks? 🤔🤔 Note to Self - Self, take a look at your EH and Ininisfree masks and your notes on them when you get back home for alcohol content. @nuinui933
