💕😌 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 💮

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💗

[eshoe]

That is awesome, @Loretta55! Thank you for sharing ☺️ 

[heartsmyface]

@Loretta55  Aw that’s too bad about the mask not  performing well.  Did it smell delicious though? 

[Loretta55]

Unfortunately no scent was detected by me @heartsmyface .

[CynthieLu]

Sorry to hear about the miss @Loretta55  your right,  they all can't be winners 💙

[Loretta55]

Very true unfortunately @CynthieLu. I really hope that my review may have helped someone considering purchasing that mask.

[ather]

@Loretta55  Darn. Did it have a strong scent?

[Loretta55]

I barely detected any scent @ather. Maybe I had a dud.

[heartsmyface]

@Loretta55  Oh wow, that’s disappointing.  Sometimes I enjoy a mask just for the fragrance but it didn’t even deliver there. 😕

[Loretta55]

Even if the mask has a terrible scent but helped my skin @heartsmyface , I would still use it.

[Cissy63]

@Loretta55  I am sorry this didn’t work out.  It’s a shame it didn’t even have a gingerbread scent ☹️

[heartsmyface]

@Cissy63  Yeah with a name like gingerbread I want a scent or to at least have a gingerbread design on it! 

[Loretta55]

Not all items that we try are winners @Cissy63.

[Kim888]

@Loretta55 @Thank you for your review - I wasn’t sure whether to purchase. Sorry it ended up not working out for you! 

[itsfi]

Sorry this was a miss for you @Loretta55. Was there a gingerbread scent?

[Loretta55]

Sorry that I forgot to mention but I was unable to detect any gingerbread scent @itsfi.

[quspork]

That's a shame it didn't work out a little better, @Loretta55. Thanks for reviewing this one though!

[Loretta55]

Hopefully my review will help someone else @quspork. Maybe I am just in desperate need of a facial.

[heartsmyface]

@Loretta55  Oh gosh yes, skincare (even the less potent kind) works better after some exfoliation!  I need to do a peel tonight myself.

Squeezed in a 20-minute masking sesh early this morning with these hand and foot mask from the Sephora’s holiday collection. I always pick up a few during the holiday sale, for myself and to include as gifts or stocking stuffers. Thanks for the fabulous open week theme @missy94612! 😊

Sephora Collection Coconut Holiday Foot Mask

Spoiler

The presentation of the masks are always very cute! This year’s design is no exception. There are tabs to indicate which mask goes on the left hand/foot and which on the right. The tabs are stickers that can be used to create a more snug, tailored fit. It's 20-minutes (or longer if you want to wear them longer than the recommended time) to soft, lightly moisturized and nourished hands and feet. These will continue to be repurchased. 

Scent-wise, the foot mask smelled as expected - coconut, tropical vacation. It was noticeable but not overly strong. There was zero trace of the scent while I had the mask on, but after removing it, you can pick up the coconut scent, but it is very subtle by then. The hand mask had a very, very faint tropical fruit scent, with a very light hint of mango, but I need to bring my nose to the lotion in the mask in order to pick up on any mango notes. 

Tips & Tricks: 

• Smooshing the masks before putting them on to help distribute / spread the lotion along the masks more evenly - I only had an issue with the foot mask for the left foot but it was a reminder that it wouldn’t hurt to do this with all the masks.
• After removing the mask, turn it inside out and apply the residual lotion to arms (hand) and legs (foot).

@itsfi 

The print is really cute. I picked up a bunch of these foot and hand masks during the sale for personal use and to gift. I like your idea of using them as stocking stuffers.

@missy94612, yaaay! So happy you picked up some; they’re great for a little TLC! 😃
