๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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 ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster 

oh, lychees are sweet and refreshing. A good fruit for a mask.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 the feeling was definitely refreshing and it smelled sweet ๐Ÿ™Œ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  I have a weakness for anything lychee scented or flavoured so I know Iโ€™d enjoy this even without results but itโ€™s good to hear this one delivers! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface hahaha!! That's how I am about certain scents too!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  This sounds great.  I have this but have not tried it yet.  Glad to hear itโ€™s a winner!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yes!! It's really good, you will like it @Cissy63 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster I've been wondering about the new Sephora masks. Hopefully, these are a good replacement for the older ones.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I feel the material is thinner and wears and fits better too @QueenMarceline 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster Thank you for the response ๐Ÿ™‚ I'll have to check one out.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  Oh good!! I prefer thinner sheet masks cause theyโ€™re easier to manipulate. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface agree ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Sounds nice, @lmaster. I don't think I've tried this version in the newer "clean" line yet, but I'm glad to hear that it worked out well for you! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@quspork this one is one of the better masks from the line, it's worth a try!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

This is a nice one, @lmaster. A fruity scent is alsways welcome ๐Ÿ˜‹

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe yes it is ๐Ÿ™Œ I'm a sucker for that fruity scent!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster, love the results. This lychee one, the strawberry version and the watermelon "after sun" mask are my favorites among the Sephora Collection Clean face masks. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi

I had forgotten about this lovely!! Glad we had this clean week to go through and see which SC masks I have left, I agree, the ones you've mentioned are my favorites!

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

O for oil balancing?

O - oil balancing mask.jpg

tl;dr: While I'll have to put its oil balancing claims to the test at another time (like when my skin is more oily), the Tencel-fiber My Beauty Diary Sahara Scenedesmus Oil Balancing Sheet Mask checks off a lot of boxes -

  • soft, smooth, supple skin? Check. โ˜‘๏ธ
  • visibly refreshed visage? Check. โ˜‘๏ธ 
  • hydrated and brightened complexion? Check. โ˜‘๏ธ

A great mask all around and one that could work beautifully to prep the skin for makeup. A definite repurchase. ๐Ÿ’–

 

Spoiler
The fit and feel of the Tencel fiber sheet of the My Beauty Diary Sahara Scenedesmus Oil Balancing Sheet Mask was almost perfect, with the only adjustments for me being to widen the corners of the eye and mouth openings, both for fit and to help the material lie flat against my skin. The clear, watery essence was drippy coming out of the packet, but I did not experience any run off once the I applied the mask onto my face. The essence has the fresh, clean signature My Beauty Diary scent but did not linger. 
 
The mask felt cooling and wore comfortably and smoothly.  Absorption was good - no tack, stickiness or filmy feel. I can't speak to the oil balancing claims of the mask since my skin was not visibly oily on the day I used this mask, but I can say that I loved the finish and feel of my skin after using the mask. My skin drank up the goodness from the essence and felt soft, smooth and supple. My complexion looked visibly refreshed, hydrated and brightened. A great mask all around and one I think would work beautifully as part of prepping the skin for makeup. 

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi @This sounds so wonderful!!  Great description all around.  I love that cooling feeling when you put on a sheet mask

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Thank you @Cissy63! Yes, I agree. It feels nice to have that cooling against the skin, especially after a long day. Ahhh... I've tried a couple from this series of MBD masks and have loved the ones I've tried. I'm looking forward to using the other ones that I was able to get my hands on. Fingers crossed they turn out just as well. ๐Ÿคž

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

This sounds like a lovely one, @itsfi, Those are a lot of good boxes to check!
