💕😌 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💗

@missy94612  I love that!! I’ve been trying to implement a no electronic time in my house but I think I’m the worst offender. I work all day and don’t use it than I cook and take care of my little man all evening so as soon as he’s in bed I get to play on my phone! 

[missy94612]

@ather 

I'm the worst offender in my house too. We are easing into it, more for my sake than his. So many things are on apps these days it makes it hard not to be on my phone. Ugh.

[ather]

@missy94612  Urg I agree. We may need to start a support group 🤪 

[itsfi]

@missy94612, I haven't tried all of the animated animal masks from The Creme Shop, but there are a few that fall under a like or love category for me. Your results sound similar to mine with the mask - it's nice, but not more so than most sheet masks. The masks from the series are fun to try and to see how closely (or not closely) the print on the sheet resembles the actual animal. 

[eshoe]

The prints are fun to share, @missy94612 - especially with fellow maskers!  

I agree with your husband about the kid-friendly version. The Crème Shop makes a “Mommy and Me” and “Daddy and Me” masking set, or at least have in the past. The “Me” mask is much smaller. My daughter had fun doing it, I think she was around 8 and it fit her quite well. 

[missy94612]

@eshoe 

Very true. We have a set of those mommy and me and daddy and me masks. That's awesome to hear that your daughter liked the masks. 

[lmaster]

@missy94612 they do make for a silly masking sesh

Ok here is a mask for the letter “S” and the theme- a band name.  Let me introduce you to the Snow Fox.  This band “played the theme”. to an upcoming “Marvel Universe “ movie- Snow Foxes United!!  

My imagination runs 😜 

This mask was indeed cooling.  And it stayed so for the full 20 minutes.  The peppermint oil was great.  And my skin was soft , smooth and refreshed after use.  

There was plenty of serum in the pack.  And the sheet was large enough to fit well.  I did make a slit in each eye area but that is a given. 

By the time 20 minutes was up most of the serum was absorbed into my face.  

There was no irritation on my skin.  

This came in a pk of 5.  This will feel good after a beach day 😃.

@Cissy63  as I was reading the cooling I was thinking what you said perfect for after a day in the sun!!! 

[eshoe]

@Cissy63let your imagination run, it’s fantastic! I love the tie-in to “S,” too.

[lmaster]

@Cissy63 love your creativity!!! This mask really sounds lovely

[heartsmyface]

@Cissy63 I love the fox design on the packaging. 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, I've tried a couple of masks from this brand, with good results. Love the "Snow Fox" band name.

[heartsmyface]

A bit of a stretch but V is for Vegetable Protein;) which is one of the ingredients in the JM Solution Water Luminous S.O.S Ringer Mask.  
This is a super-soaked-in-slimy-serum cellulose mask.  It conforms beautifully and fits my face near perfectly.  A little snip near the nose could make it absolutely perfect;) 

This mask toutes panthenol, allantoin, hyaluronic acid, raspberry ketone, Niacinamide… lots of good hydrating soothing and barrier protecting goodies!  Great for post face peels!  
This is a repeat mask for me and I will continue to purchase it cause it leaves my skin feeling plump and primed for makeup.

@heartsmyface  sounds like a perfect mask!

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface. the mask looks like it just melts into your skin, especially the bottom half. 😍 JM Solution has quickly become one of my favorite sheet mask brands. I've seen this one in an AB store and in the past have passed on it, thinking (clearly erroneously) that it was mainly just a hyaluronic acid mask. Well, I'd be wrong then - those are some really great ingredients and yes, it sounds like it would be wonderful post-peel. Making a note of that.

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi I can see how that could be assumed with the water image on the package.  I honestly didn’t know what was in it either til I was trying to force it to fit the theme.😄. They’re one of my favorite easy-to-access brands as well. It’s a guaranteed good masking session whenever I pull a JM solution mask. :). 

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface love it when a mask actually fits well!

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1  It fit well AND stayed soaked right til the end.  A very juicy mask:) 

[Cissy63]

@heartsmyface   This has great hydration ingredients!!

[heartsmyface]

@Cissy63   The ingredient list was awesome!  My skin was very happy!
