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
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
@sister13 I've seen you use this mask quite a bit and I absolutely adore it. Once I run through a few more of my opened ones this is definitely on my list of "traditional style masks" to purchase. Hopefully by late 2022 ๐
@sister13 @Love your puppy checking you out !!! That mask sounds interesting - I feel like Iโve seen that brand floating around a lot but Iโve never used it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts !
@sister13 omg, you have 2 adorable assistants, I see ๐พ๐ say hi to kitty and doggie from me ๐
Catching up on some masks with a late post. I used these masks at various times last month and this week. A common denominator is that they can be made to fit into the "Q" letter of the week theme.
Clockwise from the top left -
Q for Quartz:
I'm going to have to look for those gem shaped masks; my mini would like it - and the little panda poking out from the top.
@missy94612, I think the little panda in the corner is a nice little touch too! Oh, I think your daughter would have fun with the quartz slice masks.
@itsfi Look at you go!!! The gemstone mask is adorable too bad they arenโt really a must have. I wonder if they would be helpful when you fly? I know I use to put a full sheet mask on when I was flying but itโs hard now when wearing a mask. Is it still mandatory to mask on planes there? I feel it is here but maybe quickly changing. The snail cell mask sounds great! Gastropods all the way!!!
@ather, thank you. I sheet mask a little less often the closer and deeper we get into the summer but there's been a few days, weeks even this and last month where my skin was more dehydrated than usual so using a sheet mask more regularly was a huge benefit. I love that you wore sheet masks while flying. I've only done it twice, both pre-pandemic. I think that masks are optional in-flight for domestic travel here, but mandatory for international travel, or maybe mandatory for some international destinations. That change just recently went into effect, maybe last month?
Yes to the Gastropods! You know me, love 'em! It's really a skincare ingredient that my skin responds to very well.
@itsfi The 3D one looks interesting. I've seen something similar by Kracie - have you by any chance tried ones by that brand?
@minathayes, I've tried some masks from Kracie, but I didn't know until you mentioned it that the brand carries sheet masks with a 3D design. It would be interesting to try out - Kracie is a Japanese brand. The 3D masks I've used before are either from a South Korean brand or from a brand that manufactures its sheet mask in South Korea. I wonder if there's a different design that is used with Japanese sheet masks. Hmmmm... ๐ Making a note to look into this more.
@itsfi oh yes I see the snail mask definitely doesn't conform well, yeah those are the ones I'm not too fond of,. Do you think it's the material of the mask?
@lmaster, that's a good question. I think it's the mask, particularly the design of it being a 3D mask. There's a vertical seam running down the middle and that seems to be keeping certain parts of the sheet from being able to lie flush against the skin. Beauty Pie has a couple of masks with the same 3D design, but the seam on that one is much more pronounced, and I experienced the same thing with the fit on that sheet as well.
@itsfi I have a couple of those Q10 Andalou Masks, what a great idea to whip those out of my stash and use at least one this month! I remember liking them but they are a bit intense on my skin with tingling in my cheek area just like you described--so I'll have to make a night of it, haha. I've been a "grandma" lately and reaching for my more bland masks but I'll have to branch out for this months letters ๐
That Pink Quartz mask looks so cool but I seriously need to stop buying masks until I go through my enormous stash a bit better so I used your review as a way to talk myself out of it. ๐
@QueenMarceline, many, if not all of us here have been / are in a similar situation- working through a pile of sheet masks. Itโll feel good to use them up. Youโll get through them - just have to chip away at your stash.
@itsfi @Applying those spot sheet masks over a clay mask is a really interesting way to use it! I never thought of that but I also hate that feeling. I never buy those types of masks but sometimes I end up with them from subs so thatโs a great way to try and use them !!
@Kim888, yeah, slice / point masks are not ones I gravitate to a lot but if I have them around, Iโve been trying to find other ways to make them more worthwhile. Using them over clay masks has come in handy especially with clay masks that dry and tighten up.
