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 - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
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
Thank you @CynthieLu! This one would slot nicely into the โnew discoveriesโ and โfavorite masks of all timeโ themes at the end of the month. โฅ๏ธ
@itsfi This one sounds amazing!!
It was so good @ather; just what my skin needed. ๐ I like the ingredients list on this mask and it's hard to argue against a mask that soothes, hydrates and moisturizes the skin. Especially with winter dryness being a thing, this was perfect!
@itsfi This sounds heavenly ๐
It was @Cissy63! It checked off so many boxes in terms of what I like in sheet masks. I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing picking up a pack of 5 masks that I'd never tried before but it turned out to be a good idea! ๐ก
I never think about sheet masks as being "creamy", @itsfi, but I'm intrigued...
@CookieGirl1, there are a few sheet masks Iโve used that have a richer serum, some just slightly more dense than your traditional essence and others more cream like. This one falls somewhere in between. Great for this time of year. ๐๐ผ
This sounds absolutely lovely, @itsfi!
My skin loved everything about this mask @quspork! ๐
@itsfi Ooooh, this one sounds amazing! Hard to beat those results! ๐ I've never heard of this mask/brand, but you've definitely piqued my interest! ๐
This mask was my intro to the brand @Shosh85 and what a great intro! ๐ฅฐ My skin really loved the feel and results of this mask. It left it feeling hydrated and moisturized which my skin really needs when itโs cold out. ๐๐ผ
Wow that sounds amazing @itsfi !!! Milky essence is my favorite consistency for mask serums - glad to hear this was super hydrating !
@Kim888, my skin loves the masks with the milky essences as well. Just so good for nourishing the skin. โค๏ธ Especially love ceramides this time of the year - keeps that skin barrier healthy and happy!
V is for VT
@itsfi recently talked about this brand in a recent post of hers and it reminded me I needed to finally try this one! ๐
VT Cosmetics Cica Moisture Mask
Material:
Thin cotton
Serum:
I little sudsy, watery and just a bit drippy
Scent:
Sort of leafy and bark-y. It wasn't too strong, but I could smell it the whole time the mask was on
Fit:
Just a smidge too long at the chin and a tiny bit too wide at the forehead
Wear Time:
Half hour
Tack:
Very light and only stuck around for a couple minutes
Results:
Soft and smooth skin that was nicely moisturized and hydrated. My skin tone looked more even.
Repurchase?
Yes, I really enjoyed the results from this one and love all the good ingredients!
Leafy and barky ๐คฃ @Shosh85 yep I can imagine that,, glad you love it
Your description of the scent in this one is interesting @Shosh85. It reminds me of what a pile of fall leaves smell like. Not sure that would make a great scent for a face mask, but the ingredients seem like they certainly make up for it ๐
@eshoe I wouldn't say it's my favorite scent in the world - it wasn't bad, but wasn't good either. I feel like it was just the natural scent of the ingredients, so I'm ok with that. ๐
Yes, much better than a floral perfumed scent meant to mask the mask, @Shosh85. Cica is always a good one to have on hand, even if it is a little different โบ๏ธ
always nice to find a great one @Shosh85 ! I think I've used this as well but I can't remember what I thought of it - cica is always good though!
@Kim888 Yeah, the more and more I mask, the harder it is to find one that impresses me! Cica is definitely one of my favorite skincare ingredients too and I love that this one has that, plus so much other great ingredients as well! ๐
Ahhhh, the INCI list on this one looks wonderful @Shosh85! VT does it again! ๐ Your description of the scent seems spot on given the ingredients. Interesting that you were able to smell it the entire time you had on the mask. Leafy I can do; I'm not sure about the bark scent though, especially if it's noticeable during the entire wear time. Hmmm... there's one way to find out. ๐
