💕😌 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?

💛Comfy Gold Carnosine Firming Mask 💛

Wear time: 15-20 Minutes

Consistency: It was a thin serum (with lots in the bag) that absorbed very quickly on my skin after masking. The mask itself stayed plump with serum for the whole session.

Fit: Nice fit over everywhere except a little excess room on my chin. Great adherence, there was no slippage while wearing. The eyes, nose and mouth holes on this were just the right fit for my face.

Smell: Light scent, a little sweet but very very mild. 

Feel: No stinging,burning or any skin reaction while wearing. Felt cool and refreshing on my skin. 

This mask says it is made to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, moisturize, and brighten your skin. A soothing and firming treatment is formulated with hyaluronic acids and Vitamin C. Made for all skin types, especially dry and rough skin. 

The look of this mask is so fun and fancy, like wearing a sheet of gold dragon scales on your face 🐲🤩 I sometimes wear my masks longer than the time reccomended, this mask has 2 layers and it stayed serum packed for the 30 minutes I wore it.

I got this awesome mask from the amazing @heartsmyface **shout out 📣 alert ** She is so incredibly generous and sweet and gifted me so many (think of arriving in masking heaven 😇) new and amazingly exciting masks to try. I'm truly humbled by her kindness. 💐 Thank you so much again girl! 💖 

 

I folded it over a little so you could see it's 2 sides ✨️ 

Results: 

Spoiler

The results on this were very pleasing 😄 My skin was brighter, plump and moisturized. The left over serum dried very quickly after removing the mask. I was so happy to see some redness on my cheeks and nose were calmed after wearing. My skin was more even and overall looked great.

I wasn't sure what to do after so I went for a gentle night moisturizer 

Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream 1 oz / 28 g 

My skin feels soft and looks so nice and hydrated. 

Would I buy it? Yes I would. 

It calmed my cheeks and my skin is very dry most of the time, my face drank up this moisture with out feeling heavy ,or greasy after. Just nice and supple.

This mask felt nice to wear and was fun too, again like being a gold glittery creature 🦄 I enjoyed this one alot 💖

[CookieGirl1]

I've posted this one a few times already but I had to pull out my Leahlani Mermaid mask today.  This is easily in my top 3 masks of all time!

*Excuse the wet hair, lol

[lmaster]

@CookieGirl1 @quspork I do too!!! 

[quspork]

Wet hair and a mermaid mask just seem to go together, @CookieGirl1! I still need to put this one on my to-try list! 

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1  I am sooo copying your masking session tonight!   I agree this is a glorious one!!! 
Excuse the wet hair??  It isn’t you purposefully being mermaidy? 😄

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface Absolutely, go mask!!!!  And maybe you need wet hair, too, to complete the vibe 😉.

[itsfi]

Top 3 of all time is high praise @CookieGirl1. How often do you reach for this mask?

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I honestly don't mask very often when it comes right down to it but this is one of those "I-need-my-skin-to-feel-great" go-tos for me.

[CynthieLu]

Yes you love this one! 🥰🧜‍♀️ Repeats are a good thing, you know you have a skin win with that one @CookieGirl1 no risks only rewards 😉 

And it's so fun themed too. What are you other top faves? You mentioned you have 3 😁
