[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💗

@eshoe, good to hear the Skinfood apricot mask worked nicely for you. I have to remember to pull out the mini set of masks I have with that one. I have generally found that Kbeauty clay masks lean on the gentle side, though there are many more masks from US, European and other Asian countries that are also very gentle while still being effective. 

[eshoe]

Oh that is an interesting observation about kbeauty clay masks, @itsfi. The first I thought of is the Innisfree, and it is so very gentle. More bounce to the ounce 😄

[Cissy63]

Oh they sound so good.  Especially the cream mask.  It’s wonderful that you’re skin responded so well 😃 @eshoe 

[eshoe]

Skinfood has had some nice wash-off masks in the past, @Cissy63. They are usually gentle and pleasant on the senses, a bonus👍🏼

Vitamin A !

This mask is one where you push serum into the mask packet. I think I’ve used others from this line before (possibly this one). 

The scent of the mask smells like a super sugary cocktail. The fit was a bit slim but overall good. 

It dried out after than I would have expected. I only had it in for about 15 minutes before the chin area felt dry. 

I never really know what “balancing” is supposed to do from one use. My skin felt hydrated, but nothing special.  No tack. 

[lmaster]

@Kim888 these masks are always fun for me, sorry it dried out so fast

[quspork]

It's a shame this one didn't last a little longer @Kim888 but at least there was some hydration from it!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, I’m always intrigued with “balancing” claims since my skin type is usually combo, with different parts of my face leaning one way and others the other way. 😆 15 minutes isn’t very long but hydrated skin without tack is a nice result. 

[eshoe]

Your scent description is highly amusing, @Kim888 😄 I do like another one from that brand, but I have not tried this line. Adding to my to-try list !

[lmaster]

I is for Ice cream 

• Oh yes this version smells absolutely vanilla sweet goodness!!
• I'd say a medium thickness, fit was good except the eye holes needed sniped in the inner corner
• Tons of thick clear serum
• Wear time is 20 minutes
• Results were fabulous hydrated, moisturized and nourished feeling skin! 
• I did not notice any long term tackiness
• I definitely prefer this one over the maple version,,, strictly due to scent 🤤

@lmaster 

I want ice cream now, in a waffle cone. Just like the pic on the packaging. 😍

[lmaster]

@nuinui933 drumsticks are such a good option 🤣

[quspork]

Now I'm excited to see what scent I can detect on this one since this version is hanging out in my stash! Glad it worked out so well for you, @lmaster!

[lmaster]

Oh nice!! @quspork I think I have the strawberry one and blueberry maybe 🤔

[itsfi]

@lmaster, those results sound excellent. 👍🏼 I do love these gel essence waffle masks. 😍 I picked up a fresh scent on the one I used but would have loved the sweet vanilla one from yours. Mine was older when I used it; I may need to pick up another one, and some ice cream while I’m at it. 🍨 

[lmaster]

I had a fresh scent with the maple version @itsfi this one delighted my senses so very much!! @itsfi 🤤 yes yes to ice cream,,,, I've been on a drumstick kick for about a week now 🤣

[itsfi]

Yum! I love ice cream drumsticks @lmaster! It’s been a while since I’ve had one. The other day I saw an ice cream truck around the corner from my house!! 👀 I have not seen one of those since I was a little girl. 👧🏻 If I wasn’t on my way to a function I would have stopped to get myself an ice cream. I’m going to have to keep an eye out for it. 🍦 

[lmaster]

I have not seen one in at least 17 years, such a fun concept!! @itsfi 

[Cissy63]

Holy cow!! Fantastic!! Yes to vanilla!! @lmaster 

[lmaster]

The most delicious scent!! @Cissy63 

[eshoe]

Yum, @lmaster! I think I may need to pick up another pack of these, they were so good 😋
