[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 💮

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?

Those are such pretty eye masks, @CookieGirl1. I hear ya about the slipping around, though. I find myself using eye masks in the morning while reading, it does help prevent them from traveling too far  😄

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 Thats a good plan! Reading and eye masks. Think I'll do that tonight thanks!

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian I haven't been using my eye patches much recently and I should because  my eyes thank me when I take the time.

[lmaster]

Oh I liked those too, its been awhile since I've used them,, you know rotating through the stash @CookieGirl1 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster I hear ya.  I have a stack of them that are just waiting to be used but I go through them slowly.

[CynthieLu]

If only they stayed put, they'd be so much easier to wear @CookieGirl1 

I have a package of these I've been saving for a emergency ‌‌🙃‌‌ but I wish I could do things around the house while I wore them.

@CookieGirl1 Great call on putting the eye masks on while laying down and reading.

So for my Planet theme week I chose Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask 5 oz/ 148 mL    I love this mask. My skin glows for the next 2-3 days.  And the spicy scent puts me in a far off mood. I chose this because it reminds me of the color of Martian soil.  That red/orange color.  
Plus I love to find this planet in the night sky.  
I wander in thought to what it would be like to live there for awhile 🧐🧐

And another planet I like to find in the night sky is Jupiter.  That’s “my big boy”.  A swirling mass of gases.  But one of its moons is icy  with an ocean.  Europa is very cold  The mask by Cela is made with run off from a glacier.  It’s a thick grey mud mask.  It’s very cooling while on.  It helps to brighten and hydrate.   My skin likes it 

Both I have a lot remaining and would buy again 

The last is Keep Cool and Ocean Mask.   A sheet mask that fits well with some adjusting around the eyes.  It has a lot of milky essence.
And as it says it’s quite cooling to the face. This is good for summer.  It’s a hydration is very good.   I would buy again

If I could fly by Mars and Jupiter that would be so fantastic’😃😃

What a fun review, @Cissy63! That PTR mask gets a lot of love around here, no surprise that it is a hit for you, too 🙂 

[Cissy63]

Thank you 🌹. Oh for sure.  One try and I was a fan 😃 @eshoe 

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 Ooh those sound like some winners!

[Cissy63]

Thank you @Samtian 🌹

[lmaster]

Love your review! @Cissy63 

[Cissy63]

Thank you @lmaster 🌹. 

[CynthieLu]

This is a far out selection @Cissy63 ‌🌠‌

We can't make it out to the stars but we can admire them from a distance ‌✨‌️ 

 I know nothing of Jupiter's moons but I love how you perfectly found a mask for it 🩵🙂

[Cissy63]

Thank you very much @CynthieLu 🌹.  Carl Sagan said we are made of star stuff.  I just love knowing that we humans are connected to the cosmos 🥰

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, that PTR pumpkin mask is so good! 🧡 I hadn’t thought of Martian soil for it but now that you’ve mentioned it, it does look like that. I love the sound of the Cela mask - that’s so cool (literally and figuratively) that is made from glacier water run off. 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Thank you 🌹. My imagination ran with this one😃.  

[Mellmars1185]

@Cissy63 Lovely masks!

[Cissy63]

Thank you @Mellmars1185 🌹

H is for Holika Holika 

Spoiler

Holika has generally been a pretty good brand for me ! I tried out the Mugwort Essence mask which is supposed to be hydrating and soothing for stressed skin. I had a bit of a night out and slept in my makeup so it seemed perfect for the next morning. 

the mask itself had a sort of citrus scent and was very soft. The fit was a bit large but overall fine and it was super well saturated. 

After, my skin felt extremely hydrated though it’s a bit hard to know whether it was the mask or just my skin’s desperation haha. It was a bit tacky though and took about half an hour to fully absorb
