[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?

Theme  💕 BIC Inspiring Masks

Puffy Under Eyes No More -Hydrogel Under Eye Masks-

 

These are simply little jelly masks for your under eye area.  I was inspired to give these a go after seeing others use these for such a looooong time! It was a real treat to pick up a jar for myself. *I have been wanting to try something like this for forever * I got 60 of these cuties for around 7.99 at the Marshals 

Spoiler

Unboxing: The Jar, after unscrewing the lid had a plastic seal, above it was a little scooping tool. That was a nice touch. These little guys are slippery. It was neat to get them out with our having to put my fingers all over them.  For not getting bacteria in the container it was a definite plus.

The Feel: The eye jelly's were not super thin, and they did try to slide down my face a bit. As they dried they didn't move so much.  They had no big scent on these that I noticed. They were sparkly a little bit ✨️ but it seems like it's the gels and not the liquid. **I didn't have sparkles on my face to fight with for days lol**

The product: It said Collagen and Cucumber on the box, and it's overall ingredient list was short. The ingredient list did have Hydralized Collagen and Cucumber Juice as well as Glycerin. The other ingredients I wasn't very familiar with. 
 
Results: Nothing big or dramatic after 3 uses, but I did find them moisturizing. I don't have much puffiness really and I felt like it didn't do anything for that specifically but I did feel the area was soft and hydrated after I took them off. 

For 7.99 I'm happy with these and I would defintley try something else by the company.

Happy Masking! 🥳🧡

This sounds like a great moisturizer for the under eye!!  Price is right too!   I’ll have to check Marshals. @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I find the most random things there's @Cissy63 😄 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, the area under my eyes are more prone to dryness; I like to use gel patches like these under a sheet mask to give a little more hydration to that area. 

The rainbow over the jar and box in your photo looks pretty.

[CynthieLu]

Have you tried silicone reusable silicone face patches @itsfi ? The under eye ones specifically. Put on your serums and moisturizer and wear them to trap in the good ingredients and hydration from your skin care. You can use them everyday. Pacifica sells lovely ones,  I have the Sephora ones but I think they've been discontinued I couldn't find them in my # Search

@CynthieLu  For 7.99 you really can’t go wrong happy they are moisturizing for you!

[CynthieLu]

Ty @ather  , gosh yes. At that price and simple ingredient list,  it's hard to go wrong 😋

[lmaster]

Never seen these before!! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

I'm pretty sure they have other varieties to on this brand @lmaster   I really want to try Wander Beauty's eye mask if it turns up in a Winners or Marshall's 🤩

[sister13]

Nice, thanks for the detailed description! @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Yvw @sister13 

[eshoe]

That sounds like a great little eye mask, @CynthieLu! Little touches like the spatula are always appreciated, too 🙂 

[CynthieLu]

Totally agree @eshoe it's the little things that can really impress you

I've been incorporating the SEPHORA COLLECTION Super Glow Mask with Vitamins C + E in my routine for a couple of months now. This unscented, gel-cream feels light when spread across the face but there's also enough richness to the consistency that my skin feels it is being nourished. The product has an apricot hue in the tub but this tint is undetectable when applied on the skin. My drier leaning skin absorbs the product with ease and feels lightly moisturizing; there's the slightest bit of tack that very quickly dissipates. 

Used as an overnight mask, my skin feels soft and smooth the next morning. It looks refreshed and brightened as well. Over time, this brightening effect takes on more radiance, as the product, with regular use, reduces the appearance of darker spots. 

I've also used this product as a daytime moisturizer in a pinch and it has performed well to hydrate and moisturize my skin, and also to prep and prime it for makeup. 

Overall, it's a nice mask. I have used a plethora of sleeping masks since I've started masking so it's always tough when a new one joins the mix. This one falls in the middle of the pack - it's a good mask. I really like that the reformulation that the Sephora Collection has done with its skincare products has included the removal of added fragrance from the ingredients. The middle categorization really has to do with my having some sleeping masks that I either love or just like slightly more than this one. That said, I would happily recommend it. 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Oh I like the idea of helping dark spots.  Sounds like you have a winner.

[ather]

@itsfi  This one sounds so lovely!! I love that SC is a great affordable option as well!! 

[itsfi]

@ather, agreed! The combination of vitamins C and E is supposed to be good for the skin too! 👍🏼

[lmaster]

@itsfi sounds lovely
