💕😌 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?

Mmmmm those strawberries look mighty delicious, @itsfi 😋  That is the first strawberry banana hair mask I have seen, it sure sounds like a special summery treat!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the hair mask was wonderful. A find from my last visit to TJ Maxx, months ago. And the strawberries were wonderful, too! 🍓 

[eshoe]

Somehow the hair care section is one I forget to explore most times I am there, @itsfi. Making a note to check it out the next time I visit, which…should be any day now 😄

[ather]

@itsfi  This is a perfect masking sesh!!! I’m hoping you had that bowl of strawberries 🍓 while masking!!!! The strawberry banana hair mask sounds delicious 😋 

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather; it worked out well. The material covering the area around the perineter of my mouth seems to shift about and sometimes lifts when I eat with a mask on, but I definitely finished the bowl of strawberries after this masking sesh. Yum! 😋

[Cissy63]

Oh strawberry face masks are wonderful!  I want to try the hairgurt mask!! @itsfi 😀

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, I agree. If I’m remembering right, I’ve enjoyed most if not all of the strawberry masks I’ve tried. 🍓 

The hair mask is good; if you find it, it’s worth picking it up. I know I’ve spotted them in the past at TJ Maxx, in both the older tub packaging and in the newer tube design. 

[quspork]

Ooh that hair mask sounds heavenly, @itsfi. 

[itsfi]

@quspork, it was good. I’m not in need of repurchasing any hair masks anytime soon but this one would be one I consider repurchasing once I work through more of my hair masks. 

[lmaster]

Ohhhh I used the hairgurt a couple years ago and loved it!!! @itsfi I even repurchased and tried other variations

[itsfi]

Ooooh @lmaster, do you recall which other varieties / flavors you used before? This one smells so good. A treat for the hair and senses!  🍓🍌 I knew I should have picked up more when I spied these at TJ Maxx - this is what happens when I’m good and don’t grab everything that catches my eye. Lesson learned? 🤣 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I also used the coconut acai version, but the strawberry banana was my favorite!!

[itsfi]

@lmaster, thank you. I will keep that in mind.

[Kim888]

Love the rosebud lip balms as well @itsfi - that was my first fancy one as well 

[itsfi]

That’s how it all starts, isn’t it @Kim888? 😉 One fancy lip balm and before you know it, a bevy of fancy lip balms. 🤣 

[minathayes]

@itsfi   The strawberries look delicious and the masks and balm sound great. 

[itsfi]

It was a great masking sesh all around @minathayes! Love strawberries 🍓 this time of year! So sweet! 😋

I can’t get over how cute the packaging on the Faith in Face mask is! Love the vibe. This was a nice soft sheet mask that was overall slightly too large. It is unscented. I do think it lives up to is claims of being moistful and hydrating though it definitely started to dry out a bit at the 15 minute mark. My skin felt nice after and it absorbed quickly. Basically, a good filler mask, no frills but it did the job. 

The cake my day mask is the most delicious smelling mask ever. It smells just like birthday cake, it’s so good! Results were average, a bit hydrating but there’s better masks. I just want to open the bar to keep smelling it lol. 

I was excited to try the lumina skin mask after I believe seeing @itsfi rave about it. The mask itself was a bit too small overall for my face, it was too narrow and the chin was very smell. It was super thin and soft with no particular scent. My skin feels great after using this - super quick absorption and my skin looked plumped and feels hydrated ! Super pleased with the result

@Kim888 

The cake my day mask sounds good.

[eshoe]

Hmmmmm @Kim888 a super-thin mask would be especially nice for summer, even the thought of a thicker mask in this heat seems uncomfortable 😂

[ather]

@Kim888  Ooooo fun masks! Cake my day 🤣 the best!!!
