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
Sorry about the no go ingredient. My daughter wants the koala. LOL. My husband is on board with wearing the mask for her. Do you remember where you got this one?
@missy94612, your daughter has good taste - the plushie is quite soft. ๐จ I picked up the sheet mask at a local boutique where they had a few from this line available for individual purchase - this koala and a panda one. Iโve seen10 packs as well as a variety pack from time to time at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Amazon, though the latter seems to be harder to come by.
@itsfi super cute!! Sorry you had to wash the serum off!!
@lmaster, her koala plushie is super cute, and really soft too! ๐จ This isn't one that worked for me, but I can see the mask being a nice hydrating one for someone else.
@itsfi That face mask and plushie are both so cute. I'm a sucker for animal printed masks, tbh. Sorry that the ingredients don't mesh well with your skin, what a bummer.
@QueenMarceline, sheet masks with animal illustrations can be entertaining. Yeah, I should have known better than to pick up this mask with brown kelp in the ingredients: another reminder to be more mindful of the INCI list.
@itsfi Awe, that plushy is super cute! Did you borrow this one from your niece? ๐
I don't have any notes on it, but I'm pretty sure I remember liking this one. Too bad you had to wash it off! if you don't mind me asking, what ingredient is it that you're trying to avoid?
@Shosh85, ha, yes, this photo shoot was made possible because of my nieceโs collection of plushies ๐จ and some hard fought negotiations. That kid! ๐
Oh, whoops. Sorry about that. My skin doesnโt respond well to brown kelp. I can handle seaweed, algae, and other forms of kelp but that particular ingredient, usually listed as laminaria japonica extract, is a no-go for me. ๐ I somehow just missed it in the INCI list when I bought it, or perhaps I didnโt look at the ingredients list carefully enough. ๐ฌ Note to self. ๐ I was distracted by the coconut water being the third ingredient - I see that on a sheet mask and think โcould you be a dupe for the discontinued TCFS Coconut Ceramide mask that I love(d)?!โ (Please read that as dramatically as possible because thereโs much drama when I say it in my head?! ๐คฃ)
Hereโs a snapshot of the full INCI list from the skinskoolbeauty site.
@itsfi I feel like I've heard a lot of people who've said they are allergic or sensitive to seaweed/kelp/algae - it's interesting that it's specifically brown kelp for you. Glad you realized it as soon as you did!
Alcohol being so high in the list isn't too great either!
@Shosh85, I learned the hard way about my skinโs sensitivity to brown kelp. Ugh. The Whamisa sea kelp mask, while fancy, is a big no for me. But in so doing, lesson learned. ๐ I didnโt realize it was just brown kelp until I started going over my notes on my sheet mask usage. There were seaweed / algae / non- brown kelp masks I used (spirulina for example) and my skin was fine, but that laminaria japonica extract comes up, no thank you; pass, please. ๐ฒ
I learned too that some brands donโt specifically call out the brown kelp and lump all similar marine based extracts into one description (greeeaaat) so I try to be extra careful.
The print is sure cute ๐จ @itsfi
I think print masks for me are more fun than functional, but I love โค๏ธ ๐ cute stuff lol
@CynthieLu, the cute stuff just pulls us in, doesnโt it?!! ๐ I can go into a store, determined to just pick up what I went in for and then โฆ โoooh, cute!โ Or, โwhat is THIS?!!โ and then focus is a little harder to maintain. ๐ The print masks are often mostly about the prints but there have been a couple that are repeated repurchase for me, namely The Creme Shop Cica-Mend mask with the cute tiger. ๐ฏ My skin really likes that mask.
Yeees @itsfi I feels this hard. Cutesy stuff gets me often ๐ especially animal themed cuteness. The stores know my weaknesses ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฑ ๐คฉ I'm just over here like take my $$
Hahaha @CynthieLu. If the animated animal sheet masks are a weakness, youโll need to hold onto your wallet with the holidays approaching. ๐ ๐ธ In past years, Iโve seen quite a few of the animal print masks from The Creme Shop in Marshalls / TJ Maxx, both from their permanent line as well as special holiday editions. Other brands will put out cutesy animal print masks for the holidays too.
Today's mask is brought to you by the letters "G, H and I"...... Goodal Ginseng Infused Honey Mask ๐ฏ

@CynthieLu This is a pretty solid line! I haven't really been disappointed by any of them so far! ๐
@Shosh85 This sounds like a perfect mask! I love it when a mask makes my skin look brighter and feel softer. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@PrettyPaint Yup, it's definitely worthy of a repurchase! Makes a great morning mask!
@Shosh85 What a combo! The results sound amazing!!
@ather Honey makes everything better! This definitely turned out great! ๐ฏ
