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💗

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  It is:). I used it again last night.  My skin really likes it.  

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I’m all for “smooth and fresh” skin! That Juicy Beauty mask sounds good; love the use of the gentler acids too in it, too.

Is that a heart shaped tray on your side table in the background? ♥️ Love it, and that candle! 😉 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi It’s funny too cause I was just in a conversation right before I tried it saying how juice beauty never really wowed  me.  haha, it feels like every time I make a solid statement I have to walk it back.  
 Oh yes!  The heart tray was a Winners find a couple months ago!  There is heart decor scattered around the entire house☺️

[itsfi]

Hahaha @heartsmyface! I feel like I’ve had that conversation about Juice Beauty with myself on more than one occasion. 😂 Love that there are heart imprints ♥️ all around your home! 

[Cissy63]

@heartsmyface  What a wonderful find!! It looks like you used the Wander Beauty Gold eye masks too.  Another good find!! 

[heartsmyface]

@Cissy63 The Wander ones are pretty reliable :). I’ve got to work through a fairly large stash if eye masks so I’m pairing them with any other mask I do:) 

[sister13]

Glad you found some additional use out of them! 💗💗 @heartsmyface 

[heartsmyface]

@sister13   The only bad thing is that them working out reenforces me doubting my declutters and holding on to things.  

[sister13]

Oh yes, great point there, lol! @heartsmyface 

[Kim888]

Oooh that pore mask sounds really interesting @heartsmyface- I like ones that don’t totally dry down too 

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888  Oh me too!  When they dry down they tend to steal any moisture I have from from my skin when I don’t have much to spare. 

[quspork]

The Juice Beauty sounds really refreshing, @heartsmyface!

[heartsmyface]

@quspork @it worked so well but more as a gentle non drying peel.

Clarins V-Facial Instant Depuffing Face Mask 2.5 oz/ 74 mL and Sioris Brightening sheet mask 

Spoiler

The Clarins depuffing mask claims to brighten and visibly refine facial contours. The Mask itself, like their other mask I recently tried, has a lotion-y scent and went on very easily with a creamy consistency. It does not feel like anything when it’s on. 

So I didn’t notice any particular brightening, but my skin felt and looks a bit firmer after use, enough I felt impressed. Results, like a lot of these firming masks, we’re not long lasting, but maybe if you used it overtime ? Overall, I do think I’d use this before an event or something. 

The Brightening sheet masks was a nice cotton mask that was soft and well saturated. The fit was extremely large. It had a slight scent, but nothing I could put my finger one. My skin felt hydrated and looked brightened after use and it was not tacky. 

two wins for sure ! 

 

[ather]

@Kim888  A win is a win in my mind! I need to try this out! I could use some firming!!

[lmaster]

@Kim888 yaaaaaaay for firming results!!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, the Sioris mask sounds really; love that it didn’t leave any tack - I don’t mind tack as it usually goes away after I apply my moisturizer but I’m all for a mask not leaving a tack even more. 😀 I have received a few of these masks as gwps and am excited to try them. 

[Cissy63]

@Kim888  Two great masks, Wonderful 😀!!

[quspork]

Two winners, @Kim888- that's pretty good! The Clarins one definitely sounds interesting with its firming results. 

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888  I’ve never seen this one.  I’m interested in v line tightening/depuffing products. Caffeinated products combined with face rolling seem to be the most effective method for me with face slimming, but I’m still eyeing that. 

[Kim888]

@heartsmyface @I was happy with the results - I haven’t tried a lot of facial caffeine products. I’ve tried a few eye ones but I tend to be sensitive to them
