[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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@CookieGirl1, yeah, soothing masks are great to have on hand, especially during the summer to fall transition. I thought I read somewhere that it’s still warm in your area? Our late summer was much shorter and started and ended early this year. 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi we've suddenly had a few extra days of warmth but I saw in the forecast that it's supposed to get cooler in the next couple of days :(.  Then I'LL be reaching for some hydrating soothing masks!

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, I did a steam facial tonight both to hydrate and moisturize my skin and to keep warm. 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I'm all about multitasking 😉.

This was sitting on my dresser waiting for forever. Went to a concert in Vegas and took it with me. Oh my this was really really good! I wish they still made it. 

[lmaster]

@Samtian yay for a good mask,,, but of course it's not available 🤐

[ather]

@Samtian Why do they always discontinue the good ones! 

[Samtian]

@ather I know huh!!!

[itsfi]

Ooooh, it's always good when you find a mask that you like @Samtian! But what a bummer that it's no longer available. Is that not always the way?!! Grrr!!! A concert? That sounds fun. What concert did you attend?

[Samtian]

@itsfi Yes it is! We went to My Chemical Romance.

HE SAID: Not bad but not great. It's decent. Do you think they really wanted to say it "makes skin shiny" -  wouldn't you want your face to not look shiny?

SHE SAID: I think they meant dewy or glowy. It probably got lost in translation.  I wasn't too impressed by this one either. 

[lmaster]

That's disappointing!! @missy94612 

[ather]

@missy94612  sounds amazing!

[itsfi]

Hahaha @missy94612, I think you're right and it got lost in translation. Dewy, glowy, or brighter is probably what they meant to say. This is the first I've heard of this brand. It makes me curious too - I see a lot of Korean skincare mention ingredients coming from Jeju Island as there's a lot of cache with ingredients being sourced there. I've not heard of May Island before - wonder if it just happens to be the name of the brand, or if there's a May Island in Korea. I'm putting that on my list of things to research.

I found this the other day when I was cleaning the house. I think it's an older mask because I don't see it online anymore. I don't see an expiration date but it passed the smell test and at a glance test - no mold spots, tons of serum, and no foul smell coming from it - no smell at all and that was a bummer cuz I was excited for a pumpkin scent. This was okay. Since my skin is oily, I don't like my sheet masks too soaked. I rung out some of the serum first and that was good. My skin felt hydrated and I didn't have any breakouts from it the next day.

[lmaster]

@nuinui933 too bad there's not a good scent to this one

[ather]

@nuinui933  Interesting I never thought to look for mild spots before! Great tip!

[CookieGirl1]

@nuinui933 *sigh* how disappointing that it didn't smell like pumpkin.

[missy94612]

@nuinui933 

Too bad it didn't smell like pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin pie. That would be good.

[Cissy63]

@nuinui933  Well hydrated skin is very good!

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, I too wanted this one to have a pumpkin smell when I used it. At that time I picked up a cinnamon-like scent but no pumpkin. 😔
