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!
March Madness - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
@itsfi Good point!! Thereโs so many masks out there to try still.
@itsfi The results from this one was soo good! I'm not too happy about the ethanol, but at least it's not too high up in the ingredients ๐
@Shosh85 Ooooh that packaging just looks like itโs going to be a really cool mask haha! Sounds like itโs a winner!! Though it is annoying when masks have ingredients you donโt like!
@Kim888 This one was definitely a winner! ๐
Mask: | Skinfood | JMsolution | Winner |
Claim(s): | Nourishing | Nourishing | Tie |
INCI list placement: | 6th ingredient | 19th ingredient | Skinfood |
Material: | cotton, 2-pieces | cotton cupra - very thin, soft | Tie |
Adherence: | Good | Good | Tie |
Fit: | Fine; standard fit - too long at chin, eye and mouth openings too narrow | Good; just too long at chin / jawline | JMsolution |
Essence: | Watery liquid, lots of it | Clear, feels more like a serum, contains gold flecks. The sheet holds a lot of serum and there's more in the packet. | JMsolution |
Viscosity: | Slight - enough to keep the liquid from dripping but not so much to make it goopy or gooey. | On the thicker side as it has more of a gel serum feel to it | N/A?? I don't have a personal preference for the viscosity of essence / masks other than I don't like if it's too extreme either way (runny or thick) |
Scent: | slightly perfumed | light, fresh | JMsolution |
Tack / Stickiness: | None | Tacky | Skinfood |
Results: | Skin felt hydrated. | Moisturized and hydrated skin. | JMsolution |
Other Factors: | Contains ethanol (4th ingredient listed). It also contains a paraben and added fragrance, neither of which are dealbreakers for me, but the ethanol is both surprising and for myself, a pass. | I've read that flecks in the serum are capsules containing the caviar extract that burst open, but I didn't feel any 'bursting'. | On the basis of where it falls on the INCI list, Skinfood, but, for me, the presence of ethanol in that mask gives the advantage to JMsolution. |
Repurchase: | Nope | Yes | JMsolution |
omg! My husband received a gift basket at work from one of his accounts and it had caviar in it. He's all for trying it; gotta love his sense of adventure. I'm less brave. I'll stick with adding that Jm Solution mask to my list of masks to try.
Hahahaha @missy94612! I'd forgotten all about the holiday gift baskets. Well, if I end up getting one and it has a jar of caviar in it, I know who to give it too if there are no takers among my coworkers. JMsolution makes some great sheet masks; I don't think there's a mask from the brand that I didn't at least like.
Well this was an entertaining read, @itsfi! No surprise that the JMSolution reigned supreme ๐๐ผ
And there is that ethanol again, yikes.
@eshoe, I don't know how it happened, but that week, I used at least 2 sheet masks with ethanol in it. ๐ฒ Not a pattern I wanted to keep up. ๐ฃ So I reached for the sheets in the daily mask packs a few times after that - those extras in the 33 pack went to good use. ๐
Oh thatโs good to hear, @itsfi! Yay for having a comforting little mask back-up on hand โบ๏ธ
@itsfi I am not a picky person, especially when it comes to food, but Caviar is just one of those things I will not try! Haha! ๐คข
What a great duel! I've been hearing such good things about JM Solution masks! Glad to hear it's another good one from the brand ๐
@Shosh85, Iโve really liked the JMsolution masks that Iโve tried so far. Itโs quickly becoming a brand that I think of the same way as Etude House, Leaders, Mediheal, Papa Recipe when it comes fo
sheet mask.
@Shosh85, I understand. Iโve had it on sushi rolls and theyโre usually the small ones so itโs fine, though I have asked for the roll to be made without it or will sometimes ask for it on the side, if others want it. The larger ones are a pass for me.
Shosh, @ather, the first time I tried it, it was for an event for work. I worked really hard to not make a face after putting it in my mouth. What I wanted to do was respond the way Tom Hanksโ character did on Big:
Yep, completely understand the feeling. ๐
@itsfi Haha! Great movie! I think I still have my VHS copy of it ๐ That's probably an accurate representation of what my reaction would be as well ๐
.... speaking of Tom Hanks, he liked caviar in this movie ๐
Hahaha, thatโs why heโs won multiple Oscars @Shosh85. He can switch up his like for caviar. ๐ Wait a sec, did he actually eat the caviar in Youโve Got Mail or did he just scoop it up to upset Meg Ryanโs character? hmmโฆ ๐ค
@itsfi Haha! I'm pretty sure he was already scooping up the caviar before Meg Ryan started scolding him...... but I'll definitely have to watch it again it to be sure ๐
Itโs such a good one @lmaster! I should rewatch it one of these days. Movie marathon! ๐ฅ ๐ฟ
@itsfi Great duel!! I canโt say Iโve ever had caviar or used a mask containing it. It is an odd skincare ingredient but I wouldnโt be opposed to using it!!! That vital proteins packet is it new? I donโt think Iโve seen that flavour before. They have one with caffeine in it that was quite lovely.
