[eshoe]

Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

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?

@heartsmyface  I love this idea! I need to dive into my samples! 

[heartsmyface]

@ather   A reminder to dip into the sample stash is always welcome!   

[CynthieLu]

That sounds lovely @heartsmyface 

I feel that inner monolog, debating a not totally necessary but fully pleasurable purchase. 😅

I wonder how it would work out on pretty sensitive skin?

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  I feel it would work well on sensitive skin as long as the fragrance isn’t aggravating.

I have a sensitive area near my nostrils atm and it seemed barely prickly there and that’s where I felt it the most.   I think the 20 minute wear time helps dissolve the dead skin cells with less intensity than say a 2 minute exfoliator.

“I don’t need another exfoliator right now but I’m considering it.” 

Hahaha! I feel this @heartsmyface! With exfoliators and “a few” other things. 😂 I’ve heard good things about that Tata Harper mask. You keep up with those little deals you make with yourself!! 👊🏼 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  It’s terrible, I’ve almost bought it twice today

so if I make it until the sale I’m a true boss!  Hahah, i’m going to identify and power through the emptiest exfoliator I have in order to rationalize the purchase.  I’ve created arbitrary shelf space rules which are cramping my impulsive shopping habits.  It’s a good thing but also, ahhhhhh, I have to keep reminding myself I have an end goal of owning fewer things so what I have feels more luxurious and less cluttered.  

It’s hard though cause I know I’ll like this more than my current lineup.  

[itsfi]

You can hold on, hearts! You can do it. The sale will be here before you know it, @heartsmyface!

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  There’s some good motivation for me to hold out.  I can get it on sale!!!  Thanks for that!!!

I had been meaning to try Laneige lip masks for ages, and I finally got the LANEIGE Sweet Dream Trio  during the F&F sale. I've been using the pumpkin spice one, which does smell lightly like sweet spices, and I think it's my new favorite hydrating lip product! It's so soothing and effective, and it doesn't leave my lips feeling dryer later like so many lip balms seem to do. And I love the cute, little applicator that came with the set. I can't wait to try the peppermint one, too, but I felt like I should start with the pumpkin for fall. However, a little bit goes a long way, and I think the whole set is going to last me over a year...

 

[lmaster]

@txcatx it does smell so good!!

[Cissy63]

@txcatx   This sounds great!!  I have this brand in Berry.  You’re right it’s a terrific product.  

[nuinui933]

@txcatx 

Oh pumpkin spice. I need this!

[Shosh85]

@txcatx  These are sooo good! Definitely need to try the Pumpkin Spice one soon!

[ather]

@txcatx  Yum!! I love a good lip mask!

[itsfi]

@txcatx, the Laneige lip masks really are very good. And yes, they last a long time. 😀 Even using it morning, noon, and night. I mainly picked up the scent of cloves webn o smelled it. Were/are you okey with this one not having a pumpkin scent? 

[txcatx]

@itsfi I always assume anything pumpkin spice scented is just going to smell like cinnamon and cloves, so I wasn't too disappointed. I also think I was so impressed with the effectiveness of the product that the scent wasn't an issue for me!

[itsfi]

That’s a good way to look at it @txcatx. I’m so happy you are enjoying the Laneige lip mask / balm. They are some of the best lip care items out there! ♥️

[heartsmyface]

@txcatx  I wanted to try the pumpkin one but talked myself down cause I have barely touched the peppermint one I bought last year!  
You know the little plastic Sephora sample pods you get in store? I wish there were a set of all the available flavours in the size of those sample pods.   They would still last forever.

LANEIGE Midnight Minis Lip Sleeping Mask Set 

@heartsmyface 

😁

[heartsmyface]

@CynthieLu  Ahhh oh no!  They targeted me!  😂. Into the cart!  Thanks! 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, were you looking specifically for the pumpkin one? If so, it's not in the set with the 5 mini's (but the mango one is in that set). There's a mini of the pumpkin in this one - LANEIGE Sweet Dream Trio but the trio has a full size and a mini peppermint, a flavor you already have.
