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

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  The gauze was the first thing that attracted to me to this mask, but I have also heard great things about Madecassoside. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Definitely one I'd like to have back ups of!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85, thatโ€™s a sign of a good mask - that you want back ups of it! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I forgot to ask in my previous post - was the scent strong?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  It was pretty light and the slight sweetness made the floral part not so bad ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ahhh, good to know @Shosh85! Good to hear that it's a subtle scent, too. I'm finding that for floral scents in sheet masks, subtle is better for me. You're not a huge fan of floral scents, right? With the fruit scents and the honey ones, I'm all for those being more pronounced, but not artificial scents. ๐Ÿ˜ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Yeah, I would have to say floral is my least favorite scent, especially if it's a perfumy floral ๐Ÿคข

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I get it @Shosh85! Perfumy floral should be restricted to . . . perfume.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Another from last week, but fits the current  theme:

This little sample of Wishful Yo Glow Facial Enzyme Scrub had been passed over one too many times, and I finally got up the nerve to try it Sunday night. I expected something completely different-physical exfoliation. This turned out to be a much, much gentler peel, very similar to the Peter Thomas Roth FIRMxโ„ข Exfoliating Peel Gel. Both behaved similarly, although the Wishful had a noticeable cleaner scent that I recognized from my childhood, 409. It wasnโ€™t overbearing, but enough to make me not want to continue a relationship with this one! As far as how well it works; it was pleasant enough.

The Radiant Seoul Beauty Plumping Sheet Mask was another surprise. It was so soft and comfortable! The mask itself is made from 100% wood pulp. The scent was not remarkable besides a โ€˜slight clean, with a hint of turpentine,โ€™ the fit was a plus, and it wore well, clinging to my skin, without falling away from my chin. I left it on well last 30 minutes, and removed. Minimal tack, slightly plumped skin, this one was good! I immediately went online to ensure it is still available (it is) and added it to my sheet mask to-buy list. Loved it and will be repurchasing.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ohhh wood pulp sounds very interesting @eshoe - it reminds me of school when they would talk about recycling for paper haha, I wonder if itโ€™s something weโ€™ll see more 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Oh @Kim888 I have โ€˜madeโ€™ paper from newspaper and water and blending it into a pulp. It is messy and I am very, very thankful for stationary.

 

I would definitely try more wood pulp masks, the material feels much better than it sounds!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Kim888 @eshoe, Tencel or eucalyptus fiber masks are kinds of wood pulp and has been used in many sheet masks because of its excellent water absorption properties, sustainability and breathability. It also produces a very soft mask that clings beautifully to the skin. Itโ€™s interesting that this mask didnโ€™t specifically say itโ€™s made of Tencel or eucalyptus fiber which makes me wonder if itโ€™s made from something else. ๐Ÿค” 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Hoping itโ€™s something equally pleasant, but you have a good point, @itsfi. I am trying to think of any trees I would be uncomfortable with near my skin, and am coming up empty๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe it is a blend, kind of like โ€˜red table wine,โ€™ only for your face. @Kim888 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe impressive for sure!! Especially if you immediately checked its availability ๐Ÿ˜†

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Well I was expecting my heart to be broken but that wasnโ€™t the case, @lmaster ๐Ÿ˜‚ Another add-on to my list. The drawer is getting empty enough now that the masks are no longer packed tightly, but tipping over. Yay for room and (soon enough) new masks!!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe too funny!!! ๐Ÿ™Œ Yaaaaaaay for new masks!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe, itโ€™s always nice that a mask you love is still available. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

True, true @itsfi โ˜บ๏ธ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  The sheet mask sounds so nice! Happy to hear you loved it! The Wishful scrub sounds nice too, minus the scent. A cleaner smell has never been a favorite of mine ๐Ÿ˜ฌ  I have a few of these samples, so it's good to have a heads up! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Iโ€™ve had the sample for awhile now, @Shosh85 - it sadly kept getting passed over. It seemed pretty effective, just...my Mom used 409 and it was never a favorite scent of mine๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธWe are kind of spoiled with all the the Ms. Meyers/Method/etc. scents now!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Oh the Radiant sounds really lovely, @eshoe. I've got a sample of the Wishful one around here too, can't wait to try it out. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

If it is a newer sample, I am curious about the scent, @quspork. I think mine was nearing a year? It wasnโ€™t so strong I couldnโ€™t handle it, but kind of not pleasant, if that makes any sense!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

My mask this week was the Tiaki Deeply Hydrating fwea mask ( *face but George typed that so I thought I'd leave it.) This was a really good hydrating mask! I love it. 

Not my pic-
