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 ๐ฎ
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 masks๐
@eshoe Good to know about the fragrance on the Chanel mask! The texture looks like something I'd love, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle the fragrance.
Glad you found a way to use it up ๐
@Shosh85 the texture is ideal for a hydrating mask, from application, how it absorbs, to how easily it rinses off. If the scent could just be dialed down a notch, or two, or threeโฆit would be a pretty stellar mask!
@eshoe, oh no! Sorry to hear the fragrance on the Chanel mask was so overwhelming for you. I tend to pass on Chanel skincare for that reason and stick to their color products, which though fragranced as well, are less so for me than their skincare.Nice that you've found a workaround for it and have a special occasions mask on hand! ๐
Itโs funny, @itsfi - some of their color products (shadows) tend to run sheerer than they appear, which is kind of the opposite problem. I did not recall their skincare being so highly fragranced; selective memory, I suppose๐
Workarounds are necessary here, so true!
@eshoe Thanks for the reminder about that eye mask! I have a jar of that somewhere that I haven't even opened yet. I think I got it as part of a holiday set in late 2020 and I better try to use that soon. Also, love your leaf plate!
That sounds like me @txcatx. Hold on to it until it expires, then discover it in a drawer๐
Thank you, I went to a ceramic store yesterday and picked up some pieces to chalk/paint. It was the first one I finished. I canโt keep real ones alive, but as long as I donโt break this one, I have a monstera in the house, ha!
What a nice evening of masking, @eshoe. It's a shame the fragrance of the Chanel is so overwhelming, but I think your "spot treatment" idea is a good way to work around that. The Lohas mask sounds really nice too!
@quspork you win some, you lose some! I guess as a spot treatment, it will last a lot longer, too. Always a bright spot;)
I love that gif, @quspork ๐๐ผ๐
@eshoe I must note the photo of the chanel mask is definitely visually appealing ๐
Thank you, @lmaster. I was happy to remember to take a photo while it was still fresh!
@eshoe @Thank you for the tag and sharing your thoughts! Itโs disappointing to hear the fragrance was so heavy; luxury brands coming from fashion brands always seem to do that! It sounds like itโs not special enough to overcome that!
@Kim888 excellent point. I noticed that in the Clรฉ de Peau 24k Gold Infused Face Mask. When it is too strong to properly enjoy, itโs just not worth it.
@eshoe Oh perfect timing on your Chanel mask review! I have been taking it in and out of my cart for a few days after peeking around on their site for the tinted lip balms. While I think the texture looks AMMMMAZING.... I think I'll skip it and just be happy using up what I have. The more fragranced masks of late haven't been my jam. Now that Milky Glow though.....
@missjeanie if the scent was not so strong, I would say go for it. But it is more than just a little fragrance. I even noticed on my cheeks last night after removing it and applying the next couple of steps of skincare and sheet mask๐ณ
The Milky Glow was a major ๐๐๐
I think at that rate I'm better off just buying a fragrance from the brand @eshoe ! I did order from them direct for the balm and am kind of curious how their shipping is. I know it's silly... but I don't often order from new places. I'm a creature of habit lol
Which balm did you get, @missjeanie? Chanelโs packaging is beautiful๐คฉ
I honestly don't even remember which one I ended up landing on @eshoe . It was one of the new spring collection.
Ha ha @missjeanie well I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless!
@eshoe Thank you for those lovely and in depth reviews! ๐ The Glow Recipe mask seems amazing, I love retinol and would love to try it (along with some other products from their brand). I think based on your review I'll skip the chanel mask, I have great hydrating masks for probably fractions of the price and I love perfume but definitely not the scent of it in my masks. Sounds like it could definitely be the perfect thing for someone else (my sister would love this), but definitely not for me. I love this thread, gives you such a better perspective of if the masking product is the right fit for you. ๐
