💕😌 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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Those booties are now on my radar, @ather - thank you! The print is cute, and I think I need to convince my husband to try it like yours did, too 👍🏼

[ather]

@eshoe  You definitely need to! He may become obsessed with them tho!! I feel like mine tends to like the peeling ones better but he will do any type to be honest! 

[eshoe]

It's completely ok if he falls in love with them, @ather! I personally do not but will give them another go if he is willing to.  Strength in numbers, right 😄  

[ather]

@eshoe  I agree!! Has he tried hand masks? My husband likes those too!

[eshoe]

No, he hasn't, @ather. Great suggestion, though! I have a couple, I rarely use them, but I think he might really like them. Brilliant idea 🙌 

[ather]

@eshoe  Keep me posted! You may have a masking partner!

[eshoe]

I will, @ather 😉

[lmaster]

Good luck on the peeling!! @ather I need to use one soon after pool season ☺️

[ather]

@lmaster  Yes! That’s actually a good time to do it!! 

[itsfi]

Love that you and the hubs are a foot-peel-masking pair @ather! The print on the booties is super fun and definitely give off summer feels! 😍 Will be staying tuned to hear both your thoughts on the Vitamasques foot masks!

[ather]

@itsfi  It’s so fun to do them with him. I always love to hear his thoughts. One of his comments was he doesn’t like when he has to cut the top off to get into the mask but he also said he likes the print of them! I can see why they make them a cut off tho. They want to keep all the serum in the booties until you open it. Although I can’t remember which brand it is but there’s one where the booties are together and it’s like a perforated that you rip them apart. I’m sure those are his favourite type. Maybe it’s Sephora Collection? I can’t remember.

Best of peeling luck to you and your tootsies, @ather! I can't wait to hear how the Vitamasques version turns out. The booties are definitely cute! 

[ather]

@quspork  Day 2 my feet aren’t peeling yet. But it said 3-7 days. So far so good. Not tight or uncomfortable so that’s a plus! I’ll keep you posted!

[Earlgreytee]

i love using the alpyn beauty lip mask!! my lips are super dry and sensitive to the sun so this saves the day all the time.

Alpyn Beauty Willow & Sweet Agave Plumping Lip Mask .35 oz/ 10 mL 

[lmaster]

@Earlgreytee it looks so pretty!! 

[ather]

@Earlgreytee  Sounds amazing! 

[quspork]

The consistency looks so similar to the Tatcha lip mask. @Earlgreytee have you by any chance tried that one and can compare? Does the Alpyn have much of a scent/taste?

[eshoe]

This sounds like a sure-fire remedy for dry lips, @Earlgreytee, great recommendation! It’s been on my ‘to-try’ list for awhile, time to add it to my ♥️’s list.

Long time listener, first time caller!

It’s been a scorcher of a summer here and I decided to do something refreshing and opened up this Watermelon Jelly Mask from Hallyu. I got it from Superstore, which is a giant Canadian supermarket chain. It looks like it lines up nicely with week B being gels. Better late than never?

This one was incredibly refreshing with a mild watermelon scent. My skin felt plenty hydrated after and it also helped cool me down. It was pretty fragile though and I had to strategically place it on my face. 

Jelly aftermath! I wasn’t able to reshape it for a nice photo.

As for letter D this week, my favourite lip mask is LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Mango! It smells so good and my lips still feel moisturized even if I have a lazy morning and don’t get to my routine right away or I’m in a rush and forget to put on some lip balm before I head out the door.

I also have COSRX’s lip mask. It works just as well as Laneige’s but it’s non-scented.

@JoSometimes love a good watermelon mask in summer

[JoSometimes]

Thank you @lmaster! It was certainly useful for cooling down that day.
