💕😌 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 💮

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💗

With winter here, my skin needs all the moisture it can get, so I dug around my beauty products and found a forgotten tube of MILK MAKEUP Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Hydrating Face Mask 

I love that it's a mask in a tube, and it's fun to apply since it's like drawing on my face with a soft, thick crayon. While it does feel soothing and makes my face feel slightly more hydrated, it definitely isn't a miracle worker for dry skin!

@txcatx, the stick form masks come in handy especially for travel but I agree that there’s not enough hydration for dry skin. Not mask related, but I do like that there are oil serums in stick form now as well. Makes it easier to reapply throughout the day; but it’s a challenge to find the right one. 

[Shosh85]

@txcatx  I agree the results from these aren't really anything amazing, but they're definitely fun and convenient to use!

[lmaster]

I love those too! Especially the SC ones @txcatx 

[missjeanie]

@txcatx Yes!  Good reminder to pull out the Milk masks.  I love this format as well.  What's easier than drawing on your face?

[Kim888]

@txcatx @I’m always such a sucker for all those stick skin care things as well haha even though they are never amazing I can’t resist! 

i haven’t tried this one, but I think I tried the Sephora brand dupe of the watermelon one! It is so fun to use 

[txcatx]

@Kim888 Same! I always feel like skincare in stick form is so fun and perfect for travel, but I've never found a stick product that I love enough to want to purchase again. Maybe that's why we don't often see companies making a lot of skincare products as solid sticks?

[Kim888]

Probably @txcatx ! jones road did release 2 that I’ve been eyeing. Every holiday season I have to talk myself out of those mini milk stick sets even though I’ve tried them all already lol and definitely didn’t use them enough 

[Mellmars1185]

@txcatx I have not tried this mask yet but I have tried the watermelon brightening mask that @eshoe  mentioned. I have the mini. I dont find I reach for it often but this inspired me to give it another go!

[eshoe]

@Mellmars1185 @I did not reach for it often, either…which is why it dried out and I finally had to declutter it. Use it or lose it! @txcatx @QueenMarceline 

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe It is funny you mention that. Mine has shrunk in size 🤣

[eshoe]

Oh no, @Mellmars1185!

[txcatx]

@Mellmars1185 I haven't tried the brightening mask and am curious--please share your thoughts here when you do give it another go!

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 Would love to hear what you think of the watermelon. I am oddly drawn to the concept/packaging of this mask (not really sure why, lol)

[Mellmars1185]

@txcatx @eshoe @QueenMarceline 

So I used the MILK MAKEUP Mini Watermelon Brightening Serum 0.22 oz/ 6.25 g  yesterday underneath my makeup. To be honest it is nothing special. I like the concept of how to apply it. But I prefer using a liquid vitamin c serum for brightening. To be fair, this product is past its expiration. As uou see compared to one of my Milk Makeup Blushes it has shrunken. I will probably use up and then add to my January empties!

 

[eshoe]

@Mellmars1185 good to know about the serum! I have not tried that one yet. The MILK MAKEUP Watermelon Brightening Face Mask 1 oz/ 30 g is a little different, although now that I see this, I am tempted to try it! @txcatx @QueenMarceline 

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Sorry I think I may have confused the mask with the serum...Oops! This is the mask thread! 

[eshoe]

Oh my goodness @Mellmars1185 it may as well be the take-extra-good-care-of-your-skin thread! After all, that is all masking is, right? Serum or mask, if it works/doesn’t work…we all need to know😄

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 Yes it does appear to have shrunken, you're right. I think I'll skip it, I also prefer just a regular Vit C serum.

[QueenMarceline]

@txcatx Wow, this looks like a super unique and interesting product. I was honestly drawn to it instantly especially because my skin is usually quite fond of CBD products and I have a Sativa cream in particular I really enjoy. It's a shame it did not work better for you, maybe I will pick it up sometime just to try it out in a future VIB sale because I am genuinely curious.

[eshoe]

@txcatx your comment comparing drawing on your face with this to crayons made me laugh. I have not seen a hydrating mask in stick form, although I have tried their MILK MAKEUP Watermelon Brightening Face Mask 1 oz/ 30 g. Do you feel like this brings any calming effects to your skin?
