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
@Kim888 The first time I used a sheet mask was from the BCL brand. I'll have to look up this mask; it sounds wonderful.
Disappointed that Facetory is switching to only sending their in house brand. I like their brand but I liked the sub for trying lots of masks. Anyone have a different sheet mask sub they like?
@Kim888 I just cancelled facetory last month, I didn't even know they were switching, I just was getting too many repeats and it wasn't worth it for me anymore,,, bummer
@lmaster @It was an unfortunate discovery when I got this monthโs box - Iโll still totally use up what they sent - I donโt mind their masks, but it wasnโt what I was expecting !
@Kim888, I'm sorry to hear that. Facetory's website did seem to have more and more of its own products (sheet mask and skincare items) and less and less of other brands. I haven't had a sheet mask subscription box in years and don't have first hand experience with the sub box companies that are currently out there. Cratejoy had an online article that talks about some US-based sheet mask subscription box companies - the post dates back to 2021 - it's titled "The Best Sheet Mask Subscription Boxes from K-Beauty & Beyond".
Have you considered foregoing sub boxes and just picking up sheet masks on your own? .I know you probably do the latter already, but wondering if that's something you'd entertain as the sole method of filling your sheet mask stash. I feel like you have a good handle on sheet masks and already uncover some nice ones on your own, but I understand that there's a certain appeal and convenience with sub boxes. There are some great online retailers out there that offer a good variety of sheet masks and ship here, many of which have some great masks that may not be readily available in the US. Just a thought.
@itsfi yes good point I had noticed that too about their stock. I did like the convenience but youโre probably right, itโs just easier to pick out my own masks. There are actually 2 stores within reasonable walking distance for me as well so I should probably just start popping in!
@Kim888, sheet masks within reasonable walking distance? That sounds so fun! ๐But also a little dangerous; for your wallet that is! Looking forward to hearing about your new finds! ๐
A great big thank you to @eshoe , @itsfi , @heartsmyface , and @lmaster for your wonderful comments on my reviews of the Snow Fox face mask. I let my imagination run with the review. Thanks a bunch๐
You always give very helpful and interesting reviews, @Cissy63 - thank you!
Combining last months letters and this weeks theme for this mask (also an extra bonus category of my own!) ๐
Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask
U is for Umbrian Clay
Theme: Detox Dandies
Bonus: Project Pan Mask
My Thoughts:
I like this one as a cleanser.
@nuinui933 Oooh, I haven't used it that way but I might have to give it a go.
@QueenMarceline This sounds like such a great mask! I may need to pick one up!!
@QueenMarceline have you ever tried Origins Mini Clear Improvementโข Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pore 1 oz/ 30 mL I'm curious if you would choose the fresh over this one, I've not tried the fresh clay,,, at least if I have it's been years
@lmaster No I have not but I actually think I may have some of that on hand from an ULTA 21 days sale, so if I do I'll have to try it out ๐ totally forgot about the Origins mask so this is a great reminder.
I'd love to know which one you prefer @QueenMarceline
@lmaster I'll definitely keep you posted on that. ๐ Hopefully I actually have it on hand.
I donโt suppose this fits any categories, not exactly weird, but a little unique for its blue-ness perhaps. This is the Lovinah Blue Butterfly mask that came in my Boxwalla subscription box a while back. I thought I had used this before but not sure. It actually had a relatively intense tingle to it. It smells divine, fresh and a little bit like vanilla, but otherwise unique. It is very creamy and smooth and distinctly cooling. Skin felt hydrated, smoother and bright afterwards.
The pup is always intrigued and always sniffing, lol!
@sister13 Pups expression is the best!! I love the colour blue it is!!!
@sister13 how cute!!! Glad you love it, sounds perfect
