Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.

Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

@ather  It's hard not to love a fruity-rainbow-hearted mask!  😋🌈

[ShortErica]

I so want to do this one but since it has a later expiration date I'm trying to focus on other masks that are rainbow. Glad to hear it gets a good review from you @Shosh85. Maybe 2021 Rainbow week 🌈😊

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  I feel ya. There are so many later-date masks that I'm excited to try, but am trying really hard to save! I wouldn't normally have used this one, but it just fit the theme so well, I couldn't help myself 😉🌈

[ShortErica]

@Shosh85 it was the perfect pick! I'm thinking it could have been a mask meetup. Hindsight is 20/20 and all

[lmaster]

Absolutely perfect for the theme!! @Shosh85 the packaging just makes me happy

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  It makes me happy too! It's definitely the kind of packaging that catches your attention! 🌈😍

[quspork]

The rainbow mask! It sounds like it worked out nicely for you, @Shosh85. I love the packaging on this one- it just looks so cheerful. 

[Shosh85]

@quspork  It's definitely a cheerful mask! It's hard to frown at hearts and rainbow colors! 😍

[itsfi]

This one sounds great @Shosh85! I like that the scent leans more towards blueberry, too! 😁 I'm looking forward to using this mask this week - if you and @sonnydee like it, it should mean it'll be a good one for my skin year-round. The hearts on the mask are so cute! 💖

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  It's such a fun mask! I think if I could change anything, it'd be the thickness of the material. There's not too many Creme Shop masks that make it on my repurchase list, but this is one of them! 🌈😃

[eshoe]

This mask is so pretty, @Shosh85! Love the font on the ingredients list, too, ha;)

[Shosh85]

@eshoe Right? The rainbow goodness is the reason I'd buy more! 😉🌈

[ShortErica]

I don't think I have any 3 steps masks in my stash (though at the size it still is, there could be something I overlooked) so I prepped for the week with some I and R masks. And that's when I realized by bioBelle  #InstantDetox and A'pieu Icing Mask were both watermelon and went ahead and brought a few more in for a duel. So here's what we have:

bioBelle  #InstantDetox (I actually have two of these - one from @lmaster and one from @Shosh85, I'll not spoil how excited 😉 I am to have another)

A'pieu Icing Sweet Bar Sheet Mask (Watermelon) - another treat from @Shosh85 

lookAtMe Watermelon Face Mask (of course I missed that I had this from @missjeanie and went into the box I bought but now I have the same mask back together as a family 🙂 )

Masqueology Watermelon Moisturizing Mask - @Shosh85 again! Thanks for making this battle possible

All masks were enjoyable and I'd do them again. I thought a table would be best to compare so hopefully it pastes well

	A'pieu Icing Sweet Bar Sheet Mask (Watermelon)	bioBelle #Instant Detox	lookAtMe Watermelon Face Mask - Deeply Hydrating	Masqueology Watermelon Moisturizing Mask
Smell	(1) Pleasant watermelon scent	(2) Pleasant watermelon scent that was light during wear, only when comparing against A'pieu did I detect slight clean (like laundry) vibes	(4) Did not smell like watermelon to me, instead I thought of hard candy. My husband asked if I used anything that smelled like cherry jello.	(3) Kinda watermelon but also leaned more candy/artificial smell
Material & Design	Thin material, package did not indicate type but searching says tencel	Face looked like a watermelon! Eucalyptus tree pulp material which was comfy	Very comfy tencel material	Red tinted and thin material, package did not indicate type and I'd guess tencel
Fit	(4) Decent fit but had excess length in cheek area so I tried to let the natural fold in the mask fold other so the philtrum and eye areas aligned	(2) Great fit	(2) Great fit	(1) Best fit
Wear Time	Instructions: 15-20 Worn: 25? but was quite dry	Instructions: 15-20 Worn: 30	Instructions: 15-20 Worn: 40	Instructions: 20 Worn: 30
Tackiness	(1) No tack	(1) No tack but maybe residue on skin	(4) Slight tack, more tacky on neck	(3) Slight tack
Extra Serum	Enough for face for a different day but less than bioBelle	Enough for face for a different day	Very little, maybe enough for neck	Very little, maybe enough for neck
Results	Skin felt hydrated but wouldn't pass on moisturizer after using it	Have some blemishes I'm trying to heal and this did help with redness, skin looked more even	Skin looked nice and felt hydrated, added moisturizer too soon didn't help with tackiness but it did fade after time	I felt this one helped with skin evenness too but like most sheet masks, even if they are intended to moisturize, I still apply moisturizer
Other notes	Dripping out of the package	Dripping out of the package. Didn't like that the highlighted ingredients (watermelon and centella asiatica) are below fragrance
Grade	(3) B+ Despite the best watermelon scent for me, the not as good fit takes off some points	(1) A- My pet peeve is about the star ingredients but this one is the overall winner for me	(4) B+ Not watermelon smell and tackiness bring this one down but it is still a good mask	(2) A- Although the scent was artificial, the great material, fit, and skin evenness this mask brings make it beat out A'pieu

Such a great comparison, @ShortErica!! Glad they were all overall good!!

[ShortErica]

Thanks @haleyvvvv!

[missjeanie]

Great comparison @ShortErica  and a perfect time of year for a watermelon extravaganza!  I love your sheet!

[ShortErica]

Thanks @missjeanie! It was such a happy accident to fall into the watermelon masks so I went with it.

[eshoe]

Lovely comparison, @ShortErica! I always forget the Biobelle has a pretty print, the Peach one is fun, too👍🏼

[ShortErica]

I have a few bioBelle from unicorn mail and they are on my list to try soon @eshoe. One of them has a rainbow cake picture that I'm using this week 😁

[eshoe]

Oh perfect, @ShortErica 🌈!

[quspork]

Love this watermelon comparison, @ShortErica! I don't think I've seen the Masqueology one but it sounds like it turned out well!
