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
Awww, thank you @missjeanie! Yeah, 100. I can just imagine the looks on the faces of non-maskers here if I said 100 sheet masks. They'd think I was nuts. I'm not saying I'm not nuts, but not because I think 100 is a nice round number of sheet masks. Hahaha! ๐คฃ I felt like if I left it at 100, too easy to just go over that if there was a sheet mask that caught my eye. Y'all are the only ones who understand.
Oh I understand all too well @itsfi lol. I'll be happy if I'm under 500 at the end of the year at the rate I was collecting for a couple of years there!
You can do it @missjeanie! ๐ I know you can . . . and will!!! Just have to keep chipping away at it. You got this!
@itsfi I'm curious how many companies ever bring back discontinued products. I can't think of anything I've ever liked that was brought back.
@greeneyedgirl107, yes, sadly not many. Herbivore Bakuchiol serum was discontinued. They had so many people asking to bring it back that the company looked into a way to reformulate it. They brought it back, in a reformulation, last year.
There are a lot of Korean brands that produce sheet masks and then there are non Korean brands that make sheet masks too that the market has so many options (and competitors) out there. Itโs been a while since this mask was discontinued so itโs not likely that itโll return, but I keep holding out hope! ๐ค๐ผ Itโs just so good!
Herbivore Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Smoothing Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL
@itsfi I was SOO SAD when I found out this one was discontinued! Not only is it my most favorite mask from the brand, it's just a favorite in general. My heart can't take any more of these discontinuations! ๐ฉ
Oh my goodness, congratulations on reaching your sheet mask goal! That's super impressive! I'd be happy to just get down to 200 ๐
Wholeheartedly agree @Shosh85! This was such a good one - perfect all year round for me. ๐ I thought about holding onto it until the expiration date but didn't want to chance it drying out. Not a problem though as this was, even a month away from the expiration date, so full of the essence. Oh my gosh, tell me about it. I hear that a line or specific mask I really like, or even love, is being discontinued and I just feel so . . . deflated. ๐ฉ I understand it needs to be done, but it just seems like so many of them all at once. Sigh.
Awww, thank you! I went through the bulk of what was in my collection last year. I go back and forth whether I want to double mask until the day before the spring sale - that would get me down to 50 sheet masks, but I don't know if I have the discipline in me to do it over the next couple of weeks. We'll see, I might take it easy and just see how it goes. It does feel good to get to that number. Now, I just need to be extra mindful about not making huge hauls and not accumulating so many sheet masks. Easier said than done! ๐
Last nightโs was intended for โM,โ but happily snuggled right into the theme for the week of most comfortable mask, too!

Everything about this one sounds fabulous! @eshoe
@eshoe Those sound like really great winners!
@eshoe That Leahani mask sounds so nice. I dig the sticky wash offs lol
@eshoe Everything looks lovely, but I am especially intrigued by the Leahlani Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask. ๐
@eshoe I honestly didn't love the scent on the sheet mask, (I picked up more floral than anything) but I really loved the results. I'm so happy it worked out great for you too! ๐

@lmaster, I *think* I may have tried this Purlisse one in the early days of masking. Agree that it was nice, but not a standout mask. The watermelon mask remains my top choice from the brand, from a results and scent perspective! ๐ ๐
@itsfi yes the watermelon scent definitely helps boost my preference for it ๐
@lmaster I haven't tried this one yet, but I absolutely loved the watermelon one! Sorry this one wasn't super impressive.
@Shosh85 I love the watermelon version too and the charcoal ๐
The โless dullโ part sounds good, @lmaster! Iโve tried this one too, and remember not being overly impressed by it. Still...I think a mediocre masking > no masking at all๐๐ผ
