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?

@CookieGirl1  It was!

V is for Vasanti BrightenUp Miracle Mask.

it’s made with charcoal, turmeric , papaya, clay and butters - shea and cocoa 

it works to deep clean, brighten, and hydrate the skin. 

I found it to be wonderful, it went on smoothly and came off easily with warm water.   

My face felt so soft, smooth and clean.  I had no issues with the mask.  

It’s a 2.6 oz tube so I can enjoy it several times in the future.

This sounds like a very interesting mask, @Cissy63. Usually masks with charcoal and clay *tend* to be a little stubborn to remove. Love that this one was a breeze!

[lmaster]

@Cissy63 sounds fabulous 

[Cissy63]

@lmaster  Thank you. It was very good!!

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, those sound like a great set of ingredients for a mask. 😀 Glad to hear it's one that your skin likes.

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Thank you!  It was really good!!

[CookieGirl1]

@Cissy63 Glad you found a good mask!

The only fit issue I experienced with Vitamasques Vitamin C Mask Brighten is that the length is slightly off for my face - about 1/4” too short at the forehead and 1” too long at the chin / jawline. Hardly a dealbreaker. Openings for the eyes and mouth were just wide enough and the material covering the nose bridge was perfect, though I made a small incision to the inner corners of the eye hole to ensure that none of the clear, slightly viscous, faintly cherry scented essence fell into my eyes. None did, by the way.

The softness and thinness of the Tencel fiber mask adhered beautifully and lent itself to a comfortable 30 minutes, after which my skin looked and felt soft, hydrated, more plump, and brighter. Another win for the sheet masks in the Vitamasques Juicy Collection. 👍🏼

This was a mask I meant to use for a couple different themes, including @PrettyPaint's mask that would make a good band name - Vitamin C. Turns out there's an actual band by that name. lol. 

[eshoe]

@itsfi another Vitamasques for the win! And of course there is a band named Vitamin C 😂 I think that that them is such a fun one, there seems to be a plethora of masks that fit the bill @PrettyPaint 

[nuinui933]

@itsfi 

I don't know which one I want to try first - the tart or the mask. 😅

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, hahaha! They’re both good, though I’m inclined to go for the sheet mask more frequently. Lol. 🍒 

[Cissy63]

Ahh @itsfi  this sounds heavenly 💕. Lightly scented Cherry 💕🍒.  Glad your eyes were ok while wearing it!! 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, the masks from this brand that I've used have fallen in either the good or great category. 👍

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi Umm, both of those look amazing!  Does the mask have a scent?

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, thank you. I had a bit of a baking phase going on. 🥧 This smelled just a smidge like cherries; it didn’t have much of a smell though, more clean, fresh, watery (does water have a smell?) scent that I pick up from many sheet masks, with a hint of cherry.

[QueenMarceline]

@itsfi Cherry themed mask? I mean... why don't I already own this?! 🍒

[itsfi]

@QueenMarceline, oh my goodness, so true. It you give this one a try, it would be fun to hear your thoughts on it. I’ve noticed with cherry sheet masks, sometimes they’re referred to as acerola masks. 🍒 

[ather]

@itsfi  Oooo this mask sounds just as amazing as that cherry galette looks!!!  That’s great no serum got into your eye. I hate when that happens! It’s too bad the fit was off. Too bad they couldn’t just take the extra and make it more even throughout. But I guess you can’t win them all. The results sound pretty great also! 

[itsfi]

@ather, I had been on a baking kick, for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I decided to be faaaahhhnncy with the galettes. 😆 At some point, I might try a berry filling with it or a peach filling. We’ll see. 

I think I’m used to sheet masks being off in terms of fit - too wide, not wide enough, too long, not long enough. It’s usually always something so it’s not a dealbreaker unless it’s really off. There are a few Vitamasques masks from this line I still need to try, but I have liked the one I’ve used.
