💕😌 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?

Good memory @lmaster. That particular mask was part of the 2021 collection. @ather

@itsfi  I knew you would know!! 

[itsfi]

@ather, with my spreadsheets, notes, journals and photos of my sheet masking over last 8 or so years, we would have figured it out somehow. 😆 @lmaster 

[lmaster]

Thank you!! @itsfi it smelled so good

The packaging on this iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Pimple Paste 0.5 oz / 14.5 g is cute - reminds me of a travel sized tube of toothpaste, which I think is a nod to an old-school hack (or maybe an old wives' tale) that a zit could be zapped overnight with a dab of toothpaste (NOTE: please do not try this!) How well would this work? I just needed a pimple to pop up ... how convenient that one did. 🙄

A few days ago, I felt a bump on my nose that over the following day or two morphed into a lovely, wonderfully placed, pimple that I knew (if past experiences were an indicator) would / could turn bulbous, angry, swollen and red. A sight to behold! 

I've tried a handful of products from InnBeauty and had good results so I decided to give the Pimple Paste a try, and the slate-blue hued, alcohol-free paste did not disappoint. A dab of the paste on top of the pesky pimple leaves the spot visibly smaller overnight. To be clear, the pimple doesn't completely go away but it definitely shrinks and flattens it and lessens the redness. There is a noticeable tingling that lingers, not quite to where it was unbearable, but certainly to a point where I wondered whether it should keep tingling like it was. And then, the tingling stops. The paste dries down quickly, but without making the skin feeling dry or stripped. I didn't experience any transferring of the product on my pillows or sheets, another plus.

@itsfi  Thanks for this share.  And that it’s effective.  But did it cause any redness or itching?  

[ather]

@itsfi  This sounds promising! I’ll need to test it out. Also nose pimples are the worst. They always seem to create more pain than if they are on your chin or forehead! I’m 

[lmaster]

@itsfi I'll have to try this!

[eshoe]

Oh that is some cute packaging, @itsfi. I will have to keep this in mind as I have had a couple of doozies along my jawline this week 🙄

Last night I needed a bit of self care! And I’ve been craving all the fall scents! So my go to was Summer Fridays Overtime Mask 2.25 oz/ 64 g  it’s a fav of mine. I took a hot bath and may have left it on longer than 10 minutes. Left my skin feeling refreshed! 

 

[lmaster]

Summer Fridays to the rescue! @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  Always!!! Will come to my rescue tonight also! 

[CookieGirl1]

@ather but what candle are you burning?!  

[eshoe]

Hmmmm @CookieGirl1, I wonder if it is the Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice one @ather had in her August Favorites 🤔 

[ather]

@eshoe @CookieGirl1  It’s the Peach black tea one! It’s so yummy!

[eshoe]

Even better @ather @CookieGirl1! Bring on the peach tea goodness 🍑 

[itsfi]

This looks like a relaxing masking session @ather! So happy to hear you were able to get in some time for self-care.

[ather]

@itsfi  it was very relaxing! I am hoping to sneak more me time in in the next few weeks! 

[itsfi]

Fingers crossed for you @ather; you deserve more “me” time. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

• I was lucky enough to stumble upon a pack of these at Marshalls, I didn't know this one existed, and actually two more I have not tried
• Despite the name, yogurt, the serum was not milky like I thought it would be, it was clear and silky and on the thicker side
• Plenty extra, that's a perk about this line I love, they don't skimp on the serum
• Oh the scent 🍇....I could not believe my nose,,,,, grape laffy taffy it was a delicious scent
• The fit on this tencel mask was good, no complaints 
• I would absolutely say the claims of nourishing and soothing were met, my skin was hydrated and so moisturized and silky soft
• No noticeable tackiness
• I will definitely seek more of these out, and the two other ones I've not tried

@lmaster what a cute little cow!!!! 🐄
