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
@itsfi I actually adore the after-sun watermelon mask. It's one of my all time favorites, especially on a hot tropical vacation. I haven't tried the watermelon eye masks but would love to give them a go ๐
Agree @QueenMarceline! I like both the original and the "clean" version of the watermelon after sun mask; one of my favorite masks. ๐ I haven't tried using it after a hot tropical vacation but I would be on board with doing that ... for research purposes. I have the sheet mask, I just need to get that hot tropical vacation to happen. ๐
@itsfi Ugh, it's honestly my absolute favorite for that purpose but I admit I've used it even in the wintertime because it's that lovely and I always keep at least 3-5 of these on hand. I've taken this thing to Vegas, Florida, California, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and the US Virgin Islands with me over the years (mostly pre-C-word lol). It's truly seen some sights with me, I hope they never let this thing go off their mask line at Sephora Collection. Highly recommend, my fair skin absolutely adores this stuff. It was one of the first things I wrote about when i got back into writing reviews. I'll copy/paste it below in case you or anyone else is interested.
My review of the SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Watermelon After Sun Mask 1 Mask :
@QueenMarceline, if they discontinue this mask, I will cry. Let me rephrase that, if they discontinue this mask (and I learn of that before it goes out of stock), I will go on a shopping spree for this mask and pick up as many as I can - online, in store. ๐ And then when there is no more to be picked up, I will cry. ๐ It really is such a great mask; there's at least one that lives in my skincare first aid kit. Gotta have one on hand at all times.
You ladies crack me up. My husband asked me what was so funny and I told him but all he heard, or actually misheard, was that the watermelon biocelllulose masks were going to be discontinued and he sorta panicked - lol. He really likes that mask - sometimes I think he may like masking more than I do. After he figured out they are still in stock, he commented that it was a good idea you two had to stock up if they do get discontinued and said that we should consider doing the same. ๐คฃ
@missy94612 Hahah! That's funny, hopefully that mask never goes away. Let's not even speak that into existence.
@itsfi Haha! I'm with ya there, sister. ๐Which reminds me... let me throw a couple (hundred) of these bad boys in my "VIB SALE" cart. ๐๐
Lol @QueenMarceline! I stocked up when the original Dr Jart Ceramidin sheet mask was reformulated. That kept my skin happy for months. Learned my lesson after a couple of my all time favorite sheet masks were discontinued. ๐
@itsfi Honestly, I feel like a ton of amazing products are being either discontinued or reformulated? Seriously, very top notch products that were heavily praised for at least half a decade. Poof, gone? Not just masks (although sheet masks are a big one) but tons of great products, like:
Tatcha The Pearl Tinted Eye Illuminating Treatment Moonlight
The Marc Jacobs tightliner (and eyeliners)
The entire Marc Jacobs line (my mom loved almost all of their products dearly)
The Too Faced Primed and Poreless primer
The KVD liquid eyeliner
The list really could go on....
Seriously, it's super frustrating especially when someone has used a product for sometimes 5-10 years and now I have to "try out" 10 products to try to replace it and sometimes you really never find anything as good. ๐
I guess orange is my theme ? Lol C is for Carrot and the Oatmeal mask is off theme

@Kim888 The Purenskin sounds amazing! What an especially soothing mask, too bad you didnโt have another to use after the Farmstay wreaked a little havoc๐ฌ
@Kim888 Oh, that Oatmeal mask sounds fantastic! Definitely a great one to have on hand, especially when you have reactions like you did with the Carrot mask! Did your skin go back to normal pretty quickly after that one?
@Shosh85 @It did thankfully, I was a bit flushed for a bit but within an hour of rinsing it off it was all fine
@Kim888 I love masks with more straight-forward and simple ingredients. This oatmeal and the carrot mask are definitely right up my alley. Thank you for sharing and for your review of the oatmeal mask in particular. I'd love to check that one out ๐
@Kim888, I've liked a few of the masks I've tried from Purenskin and that oatmeal one sounds wonderful. ๐ Oh my goodness, you're completely on theme with that one as well - oats are calming / soothing and oatmeal is a good source of vitamins, B-vitamins in particular! Besides, if your giving your skin what it needs with a mask, that's the best theme of all! ๐
Love to see an A+ mask, @Kim888. That oatmeal one does sound super soothing. I'm glad to hear it worked out so nicely for you!
@Kim888 I hope the oatmeal mask came after the carrot one! Yikes! That oatmeal though. Such a great masking ingredient and fab results!
@missjeanie Luckily yes! They were on two different days though!
@Kim888 Oh no, I'm so sorry about the reaction to the carrot mask. Do you have any idea what ingredient may have caused it?
That oatmeal mask looks fantastic! ๐
@PrettyPaint @Iโm not sure! Iโm usually not sensitive and I think itโs newer in my collection so itโs not expired !
@Kim888 love the oatmeal mask!! So so so sorry your skin had a reaction to the carrot mask
