[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?

The Dior eye patches are so cute.  I felt fancy even laying around with deshevelled hair and feeling terrible.  You apply an eye cream beforehand and then the sticker patches.  They were fairly comfortable on and didn’t have any sharp edges and still allowed for comfortable eye moment.  I wore them for around two hours? They peel off nicely without tugging and left my undereyes radiant and hydrated.  I am not sure if the actual eye patches did all the work or if they simply held the cream in cause the patches themselves didn’t show any sign of melting. I’m pleased overall with them and am buying another set of two though more for pulling out to be extra dramatic on tearsy occasions.

@heartsmyface 

Fancy and chic. 

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface ohhhh how fancy!

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface they actually are kinda cute...

[nuinui933]

@heartsmyface 

OMG, your llama necklace is cute!

[Cissy63]

@heartsmyface @Hope you are feeling better.   Masks are very stylish!  And you added a pretty lip color too!!  Good to know that your under eye improved with the use of the mask.  Sometimes it is hard to tell if any gains are made in the under eye area. 

[heartsmyface]

@Cissy63   Yeah a lot of them are simply hydrating  which is nice.  They most always feel soothing so it’s never a waste but it’s great to see actual results.  

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, ohhh, these sound (and look!!!) fabulous! Love your llama necklace and lippie, too. 😍

You are fancy, hearts! And, you make disheveled hair look modelesque!

Hope you feel better; hugs to you, my friend. 🤗

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Ahhh you are wonderfully kind!  Thé bougie eye masks helped a lot!  I was pretty grey for a few days there.  And baby hearts is home from school now.   Ha, but when was the last time any of us were truly sick?  We’re actively working on rebuilding the immune systems.  😉

[Kim888]

Thanks for sharing @heartsmyface , I was curious about these !! Hope you feel better !!

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888  They’re fun and effective, but not practical for everyday use.   I still think Acropass ones are better.  Acropass set a really high bar for undereye masks.  
Thank you.  I’m better and now the little guy is sick.  I want to say he’s a better sport than me.  

[Skunk12puzzola]

Fancy ones ✨💕 what's on your lips? looks like a nice lip balm @heartsmyface 

[heartsmyface]

@Skunk12puzzola  Thanks.  It’s History of Whoo lip gloss in #15  It’s very hydrating so I do use it as a balm.

Hydrating hero clarins Soso mask and L is for Lassie’el

Spoiler

The Clarins SOS mask is a creamy nourishing mask. The initial scent was sort of hotel room lotion-y but not in a bad way. As I wore it I think I got some whiffs of mango. This was super hydrating and nourishing and comforting to wear and my skin felt great after . I totally recommend and will likely pick up a full size after I use up some other stuff. 

I also used lassie’el be shinee mask. this was a very soft cotton mask with milky serum which is my fave kind of sheet mask. There was no super strong scent and fit was decent. It was super saturated even after 20 minutes. 

I did find it very hydrating but it was extremely tacky after use and never fully absorbed. In fact, it left dried down white serum streaks even though I had rubbed it in. Tacky masks are one of my biggest peeves so I will not be using it again. 

 

[erikarosenim]

@Kim888 

I read the "be shineeee" name and my oily face was like "no more shineeee!" LOL. Too bad it was tacky.

[lmaster]

@Kim888 oh my gosh I've never had a mask that left white streaks!! I can't stand a super tacky mask either

[eshoe]

Oh my, @Kim888, this sounds a little…dreadful😳 I had such a positive experience with this one, so sorry to hear it wasn’t the same for you. I hope that your skin was back to normal the next day!

[Cissy63]

@Kim888  I agree, no tacky feeling after using the mask.  This can last all day.  So I may not look for this one .  Clarins make some wonderful products.  Good to hear about this one.

[itsfi]

@Kim888, hmmm…I can handle a little tack but I’m with you, an extremely tacky mask can be off putting. 😠 

I know you are working your way through your other masks, but that Clarins mask (and the other two wash offs in that collection) are currently on sale at TJ Maxx online. 

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Oh thanks for the heads up!!! Those are really good deals ! 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, Clarins went through a rebranding last year, including a slight redesign of their logo. The ones at TJ Maxx have the old logo so it seems like the brand may be looking to clear out its stock of the old design so it can release the new packaging. I like the masks in this line and considered picking up the masks - that price is hard to beat. Tagging @eshoe as I know she used and liked one of the Clarins masks in the past.
