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💗

@Mellmars1185 this is a good mask! 

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Ooh sounds nice! I laughed at the fossil part. 

[lmaster]

Bic inspired @itsfi @WinglessOne 

I'm pretty sure both of you have used and shared your thoughts on these mask packs.

• I love the sealable packaging
• Clear serum that is soaked into every mask
• Peaches 🍑 ahhhh the fruity scent is delicious
• Fit is incredible with these, almost perfect!
• So hydrating and nourishing
• No lasting tackiness
• Wear time was 20 minutes and it didn't dry out, my skin absorbed it with ease 

[itsfi]

So happy you were able to give this one a try @lmaster; this particular "flavor" mask has many good things going for it, including the peachy scent. 🍑

[lmaster]

Yes I was actually surprised by the scent @itsfi I go in with no expectations and then get super excited 😅

[WinglessOne]

@lmaster  I’m glad you enjoyed this peach mask! It’s still one of my favorites, and Lululun’s still one of my fave sheet mask brands. ❤️ 

Gosh, it’s been ages since I participated in this thread… I stepped away because I wanted to try getting my sheet mask hoard under control without any “must buy even more masks” temptation. 😂 That’s been a challenge. Maybe I’ll rejoin the fun in 2024. 

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne I totally get that!! I've myself been trying to get the hoard down, I've been doing so much better this year, I just need to mask more now!! 🤣

[Cissy63]

@lmaster  Sounds heavenly, oh peaches!

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, the scent on this one is really nice; I find that peach scented skincare products can run the gamut from noticeably artificial to being quite reminiscent of a juicy peach. I like the peachyness of this scent, even if it does contain added fragrance. 🍑

[Samtian]

@lmaster mmm peaches! Glad to hear they are good ones!

[lmaster]

@Samtian oh yes!! The scent was delicious, my favorite is when a mask is great and the scent is yummy

[Samtian]

Hello, long long time no see! 

Last night I tried the Brightening superfood salad for skin beet mask. 

• water essence
• Hi-TENCEL mask, which says it is a cellulosic sheet extracted from Eucalyptus tree. 100% natural fiber and 100% biodegradable.

This mask was saturated!! I left it on for 15 minutes, (15-20 recommended). It did not dry out anywhere on the mask during that time. It took 5-10 minutes for the essence to dry on my skin afterwards, and normally my skin soaks everything right up. 

Next morning I found my skin to be red and very very oily in the t-zone. It did look brightened though.

[itsfi]

Yay for a tencel masks (one of my favorite materials for sheet masks) and brightened skin @Samtian, but redness and an overly oily T-zone does not sound great. Hoping the redness and oiliness subsided without too many lingering adverse effects.

[Samtian]

@itsfi I knew someone loved the material I just couldn't remember who. Thankfully it was better after I washed my face the next day (oilyness) redness was gone mid-day. 

[Mellmars1185]

@Samtian I am glad the mask helped with brightening. Did the mask have red in it from the beets? Or did it irritate your skin? 

[Samtian]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you! It irritated my skin. A lot of brightening products do, so I try to avoid them. 

[Cissy63]

@Samtian  Glad it gave you a brightness☀️

[Samtian]

@Cissy63 Thank you!

[lmaster]

Oh I love those!! @Samtian @faeriegirl gifted me a bunch of those in the past and they were so hydrating

[Samtian]

@lmaster ooh good to know! I can't wait to try the other ones. 

[quspork]

I was so excited about your saturated mask, @Samtian until I got to the redness and oiliness the following day. That's disappointing! But yay for some brightness I guess?
