💕😌 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?

@Kim888  Aw yeah, it’s differnt when it’s around your eyes for sure.

My hydrating hero this week was Sephora Pumpkin Mask SEPHORA COLLECTION Pumpkin Face Mask Pumpkin . It did have a pleasing scent to it. However, it did not smell like pumpkin. To me it smelled like a vanilla almond scent. It left a bit of a tack for about 10 min. I followed up with LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask before bed. I did wake up with smooth skin.

@Mellmars1185  Sounds overall that it was beneficial.  But I would have expected a cinnamon spice scent !

[eshoe]

Hmmm I have heard nothing but good things about that cica mask, @Mellmars1185. Sounds like it is a hit for you, too!

[Kim888]

The cica is my fave product from them @Mellmars1185 !!! So smoothing and calming 

[Mellmars1185]

@Kim888 It is a good one! I have the deluxe sample size and it is my fave sleeping mask so far by Laneige!

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185  Vanilla almond makes me think of two things, marzipan and ameretto.  Sounds good to me! 

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface Those are 2 of my favourites! 😋❤

@Mellmars1185, I love that sleeping mask. Such a good one!

[lmaster]

@Mellmars1185 I'll take that scent! 🤣

M is for Murad. I’m trying out the Murad retinol eye patches.  They’re biocellulose and squished between three mesh protective layers.  They’re fairly sturdy and stuck on wonderfully as biocellulose does. I suppose I won’t know if they’re good or not for a few days to a week.  Fingers crossed they’re not too strong and I don’t peel.  They have a green tea-ish scent to them which is quite nice even though I can’t really smell them once they’re on.  They’re to be left on 15-20 minutes.  At the end of 20 minutes they were starting to dry so no leaving them on longer.  I suppose it wouldn’t be too beneficial leaving these on longer anyway.  My undereyes feel hydrated and cool and softly slick.  I didn’t notice any immediate change in my crows feet as the promo blurb states beyond the general plumping that comes with hydrating your skin.  There is a depuffing effect to these which is nice though.     Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Masks

@heartsmyface 

I think I need these.

[elleb810]

Ditto.

[Cissy63]

@heartsmyface  Tea sounds yummy!! Lots of moisture is good.  Hope this ends up being a total winner. 

[eshoe]

Green tea and de-puffing sound like the makings of some lovely eye masks, @heartsmyface!

[heartsmyface]

@eshoe  I’ve decided they’re good:). They caught my attention and now I’m eyeing the rest of Murads retinol line.  Do they also smell like green tea🧐? - cause I like that. 

[Kim888]

Loving all your eye patch reviews @heartsmyface !! These sound like ones worth checking out !!

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888 I’m pleased with them.  No subsequent peeling and the depuffing alone made me like them:) 

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface I'd be happy with depuffing any day!! 😉

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster Right!?  They’ll be good to have in the arsenal for puffy times:). 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, hope these are not too strong for you. 🤞🏼 I’d love to hear what your thoughts are on these after a few days. I passed on them during the sale because they contain retinol - a great skincare ingredient, but my skin can’t seem to handle it, even at the lowest concentrations. 😞
