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
@eshores, I'm really liking the lip balm; wish the brand would come out with more flavors. ๐ Here's what the consistency on both the balms look like -
@itsfi banana and honey sounds good. That's cool that this comes in different sizes.
@nuinui933, always love a good honey and banana sheet mask. Iโm intrigued by this mask coming in two sizes.
Loving the sounds of this mask!! @itsfi
@lmaster, there are so many โprosโ to this mask! ๐
Oh boy, @itsfi - the mask sure does sound delightful! And also, the Le Paradis sounds like both balms are deliciously-scented.
@eshoe, Iโm surprised we donโt see more honey and banana sheet masks.
Interesting observation, @itsfi - I am too. Or maybe a banana Propolis milk mask? With a soft honeycomb scent. I havenโt decided which material would work best for this. A waffle mask? Comfy like the Etude House Mask? I could easily agree with almost any one!
@eshoe, I did some digging and from what I found on the internet, South Korea imports bananas ๐ from a few Latin American countries because the climate in South Korea is too cold for growing bananas. If that is the case, maybe itโs too costly to source banana extract for sheet masks for the amount of sales that brands think they expect to generate from a honey and banana sheet mask?
Thatโs an interesting deduction, @itsfi. It makes sense, unfortunately. Which also makes me wonder what other ingredients out there might not be included due to sourcing costs๐ค I immediately thought of avocados, but then read those grow well in Southeast Asia. Iโve never really considered this aspect of masking!
@eshoe, itโs interesting too because bananas can be / are grown in other Southeast Asian countries. There may be other regulations or other factors that make it more cost prohibitive to import the fruit from those countries. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
From what (little) I have read, @itsfi, they are even thought to have originated in Southeast Asia. My money is on money; maybe other crops are just more profitable.
Honey and banana sound great.
@missy94612, they make a great combo for sheet masks! ๐ฏ ๐
@itsfi Love that the sheet mask comes in different sizes! It's too bad it's not a dupe for the Secret Key mask, but it still sounds great! I'd love to find a dupe for the Secret Key mask too! ๐ฏ๐
@Shosh85, I never would have thought a brand would make the same sheet mask in different sizes. Itโs a great idea. ๐
Yeah, if I can find a dupe for the Secret Key mask and the Too Cool For School Coconut Ceramide one, Iโd be one happy little masker!
Oh wow @itsfi @Iโve never seen a mask come in different sizes!!!
sounds like it was super awesome! Banana is such a yummy smell
IKR, @Kim888! I had to do a double take when it asked me to pick a size. The brand puts out one other sheet mask - lavender pearl - but as far as I can tell, it is only offered in one size.
K is for Kale:
Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not a big sheet-mask person but I wasn't a fan of this. It was LOADED with a really thick--dare i say "slimy"?---serum and the smell definitely wasn't pleasant. The fit wasn't great, either, and overall I didn't feel like it really provided any kind of benefit from using it.
@CookieGirl1 sorry this mask didn't impress you
โI'm not a big sheet-mask person.โ
@CookieGirl1 this mask is big on everyone ๐ I donโt think you are alone in your analysis of this one. I tried all three (Beet and Ginger are the other two I think?). They all fit the same, sadly.
