[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💗

@QueenMarceline, I really enjoy the scents on pretty much every Eminence mask that I've tried or have used on me, the fruity ones especially. Definitely aromatherapy. Ahhhhhh... 😍 

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi The scent is to die for, I really would love to try some of their other masks for this reason 😍

[itsfi]

@QueenMarceline, as far as fruity scented masks from Eminence go, I like their acai mask and strawberry rhubarb mask, both for their results and scents. The brand has a mangosteen mask mask as well but it is for professional use only so I’ve only been able to enjoy it if it’s one the aesthetician uses during a facial. 

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi I actually just got their strawberry rhubarb hyaluronic serum, I am dying to try it out but didn't know that it came in mask form as well. I'll have to book another organic facial to get to try out some more of their products. 

[itsfi]

@QueenMarceline, they have a strawberry 🍓 rhubarb enzyme powder as well, but I don’t recall it being scented. 🤔 

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi I have yet to try out their powders/enzyme powders although I think I do have a sample of one around here somewhere. 😁😂I'm hoping the strawberry rhubarb hyaluronic serum will be a hit enough for me to want to grab the mask too, thanks for telling me that it exists so I have something to look forward to 😊

[Shosh85]

@QueenMarceline  I have a sample of this and you've made me very excited to try it - it sounds wonderful! I, for one, like the sound of rubbing raspberry jelly on my face! 😂

Happy to hear it turned out great for you!

[QueenMarceline]

@Shosh85 Ooooh, I love a good sample sometimes. 🙂 Definitely try it out, it smells just like raspberry jelly to me and i absolutely love raspberry jelly.

Home after a too short trip to see family and a long travel day yesterday!

This Blue Butterfly mask is new to me this year, a few months ago in my Boxwalla box, so I’m trying it for the first time.

It smells really lovely, kind of a soothing cream scent. I thought I had spread it on more evenly than the picture suggests. It gave a strong cooling sort of tingling for the first few minutes, but it was not unpleasant at all.  

I left it on around 25 minutes while I made breakfast. It dried down but didn’t get stiff. It rinsed off relatively easily with a warm wet washcloth, and that lovely scent was back.  My face felt smooth and clear and bright, no redness at all. I decided not to do a sheet mask after because I wanted to see how this one did alone. I look forward to using it again!

The ever curious Tamatoa and Teine made their appearances, lol.

[lmaster]

Awwwww look at those fur babies!!! You stole the show though @sister13 

[Shosh85]

@sister13  Oh, this one sounds great! Colored masks are so fun! This Smurfette color is fantastic 😄💙

I love that your pets made an appearance! They are adorable! 😊

[sister13]

Ahh, Smurfette, YES! Thank you, they are my little Velcro babies! @Shosh85 

[Samtian]

@sister13 That is cool looking! I love the little paw. 

[sister13]

That was unstaged, haha! She reached right out for the little spatula (which is actually from the cleanser but I use it interchangeably)! @Samtian 

[Kim888]

Sounds lovely @sister13 !! A good brightening mask is always great to have on hand !

[sister13]

Yes, and my skin still felt nice and smooth today, though I feel a few breakouts coming around my chin, but I’m sure that is from wearing the mask traveling the last couple days. @Kim888 

[CookieGirl1]

That shade of blue is definitely your color, @sister13 😂.

[sister13]

Lol, like cookie monster! @CookieGirl1 

[QueenMarceline]

@sister13 That looks like such a unique and luxurious mask. I would love to try this out 🙂 Sounds quite nice and refreshing from your description 

[sister13]

Yes, might be one for a warmer season though, or to sit in front of the fire! @QueenMarceline 

[QueenMarceline]

@sister13 Don't forget the hot cocoa and marshmallows. 😂
