💕😌 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💗

@QueenMarceline  This was one of my favorites from the brand! I loved how large it was and the scent was seriously delicious! Glad you enjoyed it! 🍫

P.S. - the last time I picked these up I got them from Bed, Bath and Beyond and it looks like they're still selling them. I have a feeling they're on their way out though 😢

[QueenMarceline]

@Shosh85 Yes!!! When I posted this they were out of stock on BB&B but now I see it has been re-stocked (which is a good sign, I think?) However they are pretty much gone everywhere else, sadly.

@QueenMarceline 

The masquerade mask theme is cool. 

[QueenMarceline]

@nuinui933 It really was 🙂 I enjoyed the mask overall.

@QueenMarceline  Why must all the good ones get discontinued??? Mocha scent. Like Urg my favourite!

[QueenMarceline]

@ather Right?! I feel like this happens to me consistently, it's almost like a sick joke at this point. 🤣 I'd repurchase this for the scent alone.

[lmaster]

@QueenMarceline well the scent sounds fabulous!!

[QueenMarceline]

@lmaster Genuinely so so good. ☕ ❤️

@QueenMarceline, sorry to hear the fit was a miss for you. This is one of the masks from TCS that I really like - the overall largeness is nice because the size covers the driest parts of my face and leaves the oiliest parts open, but it does require some adjustments to make it fit well around my eyes. My trusty mask scissors come in handy then. 

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi I'll have to take some scissors to it, that's a great idea. I actually really liked the mask minus the fit, the smell is incredible. Speaking of which: where can I rebuy this? I cannot find it in stock anywhere 😞 am I missing it on something obvious like masksheets (dot) com?  lol 🤣

[itsfi]

@QueenMarceline, I think The Creme Shop may be phasing out this line, if it hasn’t already been discontinued, of course, right?!! 😆  It seems like it was in heavier circulation around the time the original mask thread started which was 4, maybe 5, years ago. I haven’t seen it on TCS site for some time. The last places I’ve seen it pop up are Bed, Bath & Beyond; Macy’s; Walgreens / Duane Reede; and TJ Maxx or Marshall’s.

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi Yeah, I purchased mine from Bed, Bath and Beyond. What a shame, this was one of the most unique eye masks I've ever used and other than the fit (which is fixable) I really enjoyed it. Seems like everything I like gets discontinued 🤣

[Kim888]

Yum @QueenMarceline @the scent sounds great! I feel like eye masks are extra hard though when the fit is poor! 

[QueenMarceline]

@Kim888 Would've much preferred the experience if it was only for the under eyes instead of a full mask that goes on the top part of the face. Unfortunately discontinued so I'll likely never get my hands on it again. 😕

 Todays mask is the Caolion Magic Black Powder sheet mask.  It’s a hydrogel two piece mask with a faintly lavendery floral scent and a pepperminty cooling sensation.  It claims to tighten, firm and hydrate.  Just what I want in life.  
Thé black powder in this mask is chrondrus crispus powder, a red algae high in beta carotene and antioxidants which is also known for its hydrating effects. Niacinamide, colloïdal Gold, adenosine… nice ingredient list.  
This mask lasted ten minutes on before drying up and not the 20-30 it said but I DID open it two days ago, so that’s my fault.  I still got amazing results from it though!  My skin is firmer, hydrated… I guess my pores are tightened?  Doesn’t that come with firmer skin?  
I need to get another one of these and try it fresh:) 

 

Pssst @tsavorite   I think my eyes are gray;) 

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  I really love two piece masks! So happy you got wonderful results despite opening the package early! 

[CynthieLu]

@heartsmyface great review,  I want to try this one now 😃 💗

I imagine it did dry out quicker being opened early but I have heard about silicone face masks you put over your sheet or jelly masks to keep them from evaporating but I've never gone down that road tbh

[ather]

@heartsmyface  Everything I need in a mask. If I buy a case will it fix everything 🤔

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface I'm all in for this one!!

[Kim888]

Oooh that looks interesting @heartsmyface - anything that can tighten immediately, even if it’s temporary, goes on my list ! 

[QueenMarceline]

@heartsmyface Wow this looks like a fantastic mask, I tend to really lean in favor towards that bio-cellulose and/or jelly mask texture.
