💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[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 💮

Spoiler

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 masks💗

@eshoe  my drawer may have that same replication problem.... I think I have three of these innisfree balms.  The newer SEPHORA COLLECTION Vegan Hydrating Lip Balm  are super similar to me, maybe not in shade selection, but in feel.

[eshoe]

Hmmmm, why do you have to introduce new lip balms to me, @missjeanie 😂 I am still working on my original Laneige! It will be such a treat when I actually need to restock😉

[missjeanie]

@eshoe Funny enough... I've been back on a 'work through' it kick with the LeNeige lip sleep mask.  I really should just toss it.  It's been opened waaaaay too long, but it's like a thing I feel the need to finish now.  

[eshoe]

@missjeaniemine has been on my nightstand all year. I am determined to finish it by June!I am finally about 2/3 through it. Best beauty bang for your buck😂

[missjeanie]

@eshoe I wish you good luck!  I'm only about half way through mine.  I had said I would toss it last year if it wasn't done... but I just can't bring myself to do it yet.

Wow you are much further along than me, @missjeanie! Kudos👏🏼

@eshoe, I think the material for the JayJun and Heimish sheet masks are microfiber. Or that seems to be the case for the JayJun ones in that collection that I recall and the Heimish mask is a very thin and fine microfiber. Like second skin. Do you remember whether there was a scent in any of the products in that JayJun set? I 've tried others from the line but don't think I've made my way to the green packet. 

[eshoe]

@itsfi the cleanser was unscented as far as I could tell. The mask and moisturizer both had a sweet, almost herbal scent. They remind me of the Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 2 oz / 59 m... - very fresh! 

[itsfi]

Thanks @eshoe. I've never tried that YTTP moisturizer but sweet herbal sounds nice.

This Wish formula blackhead and black mask home spa kit was a fun surprise.  I was expecting a biore strip type mask.  Nope.  The first step is a nose and chin liquid soaked mask which doesn’t dry down.  You leave it on for 15 minutes to soften the top layer of skin and dissolve your sebum.  The second step is to take the black qtip and wipe the ‘blackheads’ (I didn’t have any but I had sebaceous glands which provided a equally as satisfyingly gross experience.  The exposed oil slid right off onto the qtip.  The last step is a pore tightening serum. It has no scent and I didn’t feel any real tightening but maybe cause I have nothing to tighten.  I enjoyed this spa kit but I’m sure someone with actual blackheads would enjoy it more:).

i added some lemon eye pads after noticing my dark circles but cut them in half cause I didn’t want to put down with them over my eyes . This way I can see and still function.  They didn’t smell like lemon which is disappointing. They’re cute with a slick serum.  Sure they were soothing but I didn’t notice any brightening.  Meh.  
the kami-waza neck spa sheet mask is good.  I’ve reviewed it before.  Normally I take my face masks and throw them on my neck when I’m done with my face but it’s nice to have a mask that’s just for the neck.  
I’ll be wearing the hand mask to bed so a review will follow and I’m not doing the hey honey mask again.  That’s enough masking for me.  

 

 I look like an evil cartoon character🤣

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Oh my gosh, this is the best! 
The blackhead kit sounds amazing - I definitely need to try one out! 😃

Too bad the lemon masks weren't too impressive. I tried the Banana Honey Cream Mask by the same brand, and it smelled delicious, but didn't really do anything.

[eshoe]

@heartsmyface I can’t get over the unusual shape of the mustache-looking Wish mask🤣 The sides remind me of 🤟🏼

Curious how the Wish wash-off was on your skin. I have a sample that keeps lingering, because why fall in love with yet another exfoliating mask?!

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Ooh I need to find that wish kit!

[Kim888]

@heartsmyface ohh that wish kit sounds super interesting ! 

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888 It’s a winner . My nose is looking quite clear today of even sebaceous gland spots.  

[missjeanie]

Lol @heartsmyface  I love the look!  I often cut the round eye masks to fit the same way you did.  I'm super curious about this home spa kit now.  I don't have much by way of blackheads but I'm intrigued by the gross factor for sure.

[heartsmyface]

@missjeanie   It’s satisfying even with non problematic oil glands.  I think I enjoyed this better than biore strips cause, one, no pain and tears from pulling it off, and two, all the gross goodness is clustered together in one spot.  

I took a photo before deciding to use some discretion and not make everyone nauseous.  But it’s there, if you want.  

[missjeanie]

I actually went and did a quick look to see if I could find them in stock and they look to be sold out at the moment at a few retailers (at least the couple I saw that shipped up north).  Might want to grab em if you see em @heartsmyface !

[lmaster]

I'm very curious now about the whish blackhead mask @heartsmyface truly sounds like a great experience!

[heartsmyface]

@lmaster  It was a good one.  Different.  I need to find more before they discontinue them or something.  Everything I like lately gets discontinued.  🤞

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface know that feeling too well
