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
Tea tree can be a lot to take in so it's nice to hear this one was low key and only in spurts. Do you have a filler mask you like?
@elleb810 I canโt say I have a favorite filler mask since I usually try to avoid them, haha! Theyโre just boring, and Iโve been masking for so long, I just need something more exciting ๐
There are some brands of masks I think in general have good filler masks though - LookAtMe, the Holika Holika โPure Essenceโ line and Rael Beauty. Iโve tried about 12 Etude House masks from the โ0.2 Therapy Airโ line and I would say half are great filler masks and the other half are more than fillers. I donโt have my phone right now and thatโs where all my notes are, so Iโm sure Iโm missing something
Z for Bio-Zeup
Z for ZOMG!!
@itsfi - I'm all for a younger complexion, but I hear ya - a sheet mask isn't going to perform miracles. The bio-zeup sounds interesting though. I just looked up the brand and it looks like it has some good items. Have you tried anything else from the brand?
@eshores, I've used the Birch Juice sheet mask which I like a lot. I've also sampled the essence (named skin) from the brand and liked that one as well - refreshing, hydrating. I don't know if they make the sheet mask in that series anymore (sigh!) but they seem to be redesigning some of their packaging so fingers crossed ๐ค that's all it is. This Bio-Zeup one is interesting - I was a little worried it would tingle when I read it contained paprika but nope, none of that, thank goodness.
Wow your mini fridge went the distance, @itsfi! Are you planning to replace it?
@eshoe, not sure whether I'll replace it. I'm sure I got my money's worth with this one. It was one of the basic models and on the low end of the price scale for them at the time and even now. I don't know if I expected it to last as long as it did but am happy that it did. Looks like the brand no longer produces these mini fridges anymore. They do, however, make air fryers. And yes, I have purchased one, as a gift.
Ok that made me laugh out loud, @itsfi. I know they are both small appliances, but stillโฆI guess the air fryer business is more lucrative๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
I am guessing your recipient enjoyed the giftโบ๏ธ
@eshoe, I would not say this particular air fryer was "small"; but it was well received. The fried veggies he made with it were great. That said, an air fryer is probably not something I would consider as a substitute for another skincare fridge. lol.
@itsfi you had me at fruity floral!! Love that combo
Same @lmaster! It's a great combo of scents for sheet masks, imo - not too sweet on the fruity side and not too heavy on the floral side.
@itsfi sending condolences for the beauty fridge, may it rest in peace.
Thank you @QueenMarceline! It lived a good life. ๐ Curious to know, do you store your masks in the fridge, mini or regular sized?
@itsfi I have a couple in my fridge (the big one with the food in it, lol!) but I think I'm going to splurge and finally get myself a mini beauty fridge once I do a serious declutter of my products. My bathroom vanity is stocked with products, my closet vanity is absolutely full and my 5 drawer dresser full of palettes, back-ups and things that don't store very well has had a mini-declutter but it's still quite full. I have a problem. ๐
@QueenMarceline, what is this โproblemโ of which you speak?!! ๐ง Feels more like an opportunity to find what suits you! ๐
Declutter / De-stashing projects are great! Well, okay, maybe not going through itโฆ ๐ but it feels good when youโve come up with a curated collection that will make you happy. I did a declutter early last year but for some categories it feels like thereโs barely a dent (Iโm sure thatโs because there was barely a dent made ๐).
Thereโs a declutter thread on BIC - https://community.sephora.com/t5/Beauty-Confidential/Show-Me-Your-Declutters/m-p/4048716/highlight/t... - if you feel like sharing what you said โgood byeโ to. Some folks also post then to the empties thread.
@itsfi OOO! I already made a mini-declutter but if I ever find the strength to actually be honest with myself I'll definitely post. I actually am traveling right now to my little hometown (Chicago LMAO) and I literally just brought a whole large Sephora bag of stuff for my female family members and friends to go through. Everything has a new home with a new owner now after those animals (I joke, I joke ๐) got ahold of it. What a missed opportunity to photograph it ๐ bookmarking the thread now. Thanks, doll! ๐
Oh wow! I wonder if that's a normal life span for the mini fridge? Curious to know if you'll replace it with another one?
Great question @missy94612! I'm not sure right now whether I'll pick up another mini fridge. It's pretty cool here at the moment (colder than it has been in the past) and the weather where I live stays fairly moderate so I'm not sure I have a huge need for a mini fridge, though even weather aside, it may not be a true need to have item. lol. If I decide to get one, I will probably wait until it warms up here. My sheet masks and skincare products have no problem staying cool for the time being. ๐
@missy94612 @I went through two in two years๐ The first oneโs motor went out days after the one year warranty expired. I messaged the brand (Coolio) and they immediately sent me a brand new one! That one also went out just after one year ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ @itsfiโs sounds like it must have worked much better.
That's great they sent you a replacement @eshoe, even after the warranty period. ๐๐ผ How interesting too that they both gave out right after the 1 year mark. I wonder if that's the general life expectancy for these types of mini fridges. ๐ค
