Mask of the Week Challenge

[eshoe]

It’s finally December!!! ❄️☃️☕️ Congrats for hanging in there. Let’s finish these last few weeks together, and celebrate another year of sharing our love for all things masks & snacks;) 💙💖🤍

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗 Post as frequently or infrequently as you would like, with or without following the challenge. We love hearing about every masking experience, and suggestions are always welcome. 

This Week’s Theme: Mask that would make a good band name (“kinda silly, I know”). Not at all, @PrettyPaint! What great inspiration to try some funny-sounding masks 😄

To Post:

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!

oh, @eshoe that should be a challenge for next year to mask with a partner- daughter, son, hubs, or significant other & note what they say/reaction 😂if my teeni's observation skills are any hint- jellyfish butt anyone? it's bound to be a good time for all!

[eshoe]

YES agreed @sonnydee! The abbreviated bunch can be so helpful😊 I was just looking at suggestions for the next year tonight, I will find a place for this. If you have a name for it let me know!

[sonnydee]

Maybe "Newbie" week. Partner mask with a newbie or someone that masks infrequently. Or a new to you mask. @eshoe 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[eshoe]

This has sooooo much potential @sonnydee @I love 💕 it.

V is for Vegan This was a gift from the incredible @itsfi 🤗thank you! Fit?good, almost perfect with only the usual extra in the chin area Smell? tea tree oil really takes a lead in this mask even though its in the middle of ingredients Consistency? watery,thin but no drippey mess. Ease of use?no trouble but that what this mask promises Would I  purchase/try again? I left this on for about 20 min. At that time, the mask was all but dried out but after removing i still had some serum left to soak in. After about 30 min all was soaked in & no tack. This is a solid mask..i would happily use it again after my current stash dwindles. 💙💙💙💙💙

[ShortErica]

TJ Maxx/Marshalls sure will make dwindling hard @sonnydee 😂

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  This was such a great one! Glad to hear you think so too! So far I've been pretty pleased with Whole Foods masks!

[lmaster]

@sonnydee love these masks too

[quspork]

This is definitely a nice one, @sonnydee!

[ather]

@sonnydee  Sounds like a great mask!!

[itsfi]

Yay, so happy this is one you liked @sonnydee! 😍 “after my current stash dwindles” Hahaha! 😂🤣😂 

[eshoe]

The bio/cell ones are good, too @sonnydee! 

[Shosh85]

V is for Vita

Mediheal Vita Lightbeam Essential Mask Ex

This is a super thin cotton sheet mask that was saturated with plenty of serum and had a perfumy kind of scent - it's not the strongest scented mask I've used but it was obnoxious enough to give me a slight headache. The fit was ok – too long at the chin and just a little too wide at the temples. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. There was a bit of tackiness after removing but absorbed in 10 minutes. My face looked brighter, felt hydrated, soft and smooth and had a nice glow.

I really loved the results from this mask but because of the scent I wouldn't repurchase.

[ShortErica]

Boo @Shosh85! I don't recall it having a strong scent but I swear these masks change on me. That's why I always love having a 2nd or 3rd look to see if my feelings match up. At least the results were good. Sorry about your headache. I'm sure the next mask you will use has to be better.

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  It's funny you mention that, because for some reason I don't remember it being that strong the last time I used it - of course that was back when I wasn't saving my notes, so my memory could be off. 🤔 Great results though, so at least it wasn't all bad! 😉

[lmaster]

Uhhhhh @Shosh85 I can't stand a strong perfume scent on a sheet mask 😩 so sorry

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I can tolerate a strong fruity scent, more than a strong floral or perfumy scent! Im happy the results were great though! 

[lmaster]

Same here!! @Shosh85 

[quspork]

Oh no! That's a shame about the scent, @Shosh85. I hope your headache didn't last too long. 

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @quspork, it was fine, just needed

a couple Advil. A strong/perfumy scent is always a bummer, but at least I got good results out of it! 

[ather]

@Shosh85  Darn sorry the scent wasn’t great. I hate when they give me a headache!
