💕😌 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💗

@missjeanie, you know I would looooove it if they included a snail in their sheet mask lineup. 🐌 I hope it would be one of their better performers. 😉 Snail mucin is included in their collagen sheet mask and they apparently have (or maybe it's "had" since things get discontinued...) an overnight mask spotlighting the snail. @Shosh85, have you tried The Creme Shop snail sleeping mask? 

I'm super excited to see your alliteration of masks. I have a weekly one for beauty products but there are some that are stronger than others. You are doing excellent work going through your masks missjeanie! Super proud of you and excited to hear about your masking adventures this month.

[missjeanie]

@itsfi The collagen one was in a pale green package with a needle on the front right?  I remember liking that one, it had salmon roe in it as well I think?  

[itsfi]

Yes, that's the one @missjeanie! @Shosh85 posted the INCI list for it a few posts below 👇 and there's a lot of good ingredients on that list.

[missjeanie]

@itsfi Yes!! This was the one I was picturing. Loved this one! 

[PrettyPaint]

Awww! You are the perfect tiger! grrrrrrrr!!!!  @itsfi 
The Dr. Jart does look like a fantastic winter mask! 

[itsfi]

Ahhhh shucks @PrettyPaint; thank you! 😊 Oh my goodness, I know that cold here where I live is nothing compared to the rest of the world or even the US, but my word, it has been an uncharacteristically c-c-c-cold winter. I've always liked cream based masks in the cooler months but I've really been relying on them this winter. 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Aww you make such a cute tiger!  I love the hoodie too!  

[itsfi]

Aww, thanks @heartsmyface! 🤗 Hoodies of all shapes and sizes have become quite the "go to" for me this winter - it's the closest thing I can get to cloaking myself in my electric blanket without actually having my electric blanket over me at all times. Hahaha! 

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi Aw what a cute Tiger! 

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, thank you! The animation is super cute and makes it a lot of fun to use. I also love the results from the mask - it's one of my favorite cica sheet masks.

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Awe, you make such a cute tiger! This one is definitely in my top favorites for Crème Shop masks - it's for sure my most favorite of the character masks. My two other top favorite masks from the brand are 

The Creme Shop Correct Solutions Color-Correcting Orange Sheet Mask and the Collagen Mask - have you tried either of those?

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, I was so bummed when the entire TCS color correcting line was discontinued. 😖 Not all of the sheet masks in that line worked for me, but there were not any similar functioning sheet masks in TCS collection. I thought they could have phased out some of their other masks instead of that line and instead of their photoshopped line. 😣  Is the collagen sheet mask the one with the syringe on it? If so, I have tried it - courtesy of you - and loved it. It was one of the first collagen-centered sheet masks that I tried. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh, I forgot about the Photoshopped line! I don't have any notes on the one I tried, but I remember really liking it 🙂

Yup, the Collagen mask package has a syringe on it. I love the unique ingredients it has 👇 😃

[missjeanie]

@Shosh85 @itsfi @@Hes, lové lové lové this mask!! I wonder if I have any left? Hmmmm. 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85,that INCI list is beautiful! So many of my favorite things all wrapped in one pretty little sheet mask! 💖

[Shosh85]

This one works for both themes - 

111 Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask  

A big thank you to the lovely @haleyvvvv for gifting me this one! I really appreciate the opportunity to try it!

Spoiler

111 Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask

Material:

Pearly-peach colored, thin-medium hydrogel

Serum:

Thin but not runny

Scent:

Like a combination of fruity and rose - I thought it was pretty pleasant

Fit:

Just a smidge too long at the chin. There was a bit of slippage, but that's to be expected with hydrogels.

Wear Time:

Half hour

Tack:

None

Results:

Super soft and smooth skin that was a little brighter and comfortably hydrated

Repurchase?

Hydrogels in general aren't my favorite mask material, but this is definitely one of the better ones! I loved the results and the scent was great as well. I would repurchase this one, but just wouldn't pay full retail price for them, as they are pretty spendy (around $32 a mask)

[haleyvvvv]

Glad you enjoyed it, @Shosh85!! 💖

[lmaster]

Fruity rose??? Yum @Shosh85 you know that will bring me in 😆

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Haha! Yup, the scent was really nice on this one! 👃

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, the scent on this mask is ahhhhhmazing! I remember being surprised by how much I loved the fragrance on it. ♥️🌹 The results were good as well. The fit and the price but mainly that price was what has kept me from repurchasing. I have nowhere fancy enough to go for this mask. I suppose that’s not stopped me before but … 😂🤣 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I was super excited to be able try this one - due to the price, I never thought I would! The scent and results were definitely the best part about this one 🙂
