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 ๐ฎ
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 masks๐
This one sounds nice. I saw a pack of these at TJ Maxx but passed on it. Will look for it when it's time to get more masks.
@missy94612 Oh wow, I've never seen these at TJ Maxx. I'll have to go check if they have any at my local one ๐
Biocellulose masks are high up on my list of favorites, @QueenMarceline! Although I have not tried this one (my fear of potential pumpkin scented anything), it sounds absolutely lovely. Happy to hear you have a tried-and-true love!
@eshoe I don't think this smells like pumpkin at all tbh, it doesn't smell like much to me at all ๐
That is music to my ears, @QueenMarceline ๐๐ผ
@QueenMarceline ohhh I loved this mask!!
@lmaster Not surprising because you have great taste and this mask is amazing ๐
I'm curious now about the smell of the mask. I like the Fresh wash offs a lot my husband less so but he likes black licorice so maybe I can talk him into trying a sample with me. The fragrance on that steam eye mask sounds amazing!
@missy94612, I think the promotion for the DS is still available; it's a good way to try out the mask, if there were some other goodies you were interesting in picking up at Sephora. Would love to know your thoughts and your husband's if you decide to try it out. Would really like to hear what scent you pick up from this mask, or if you pick up a scent at all.
@itsfi Oof, I was curious about that Fresh mask but even the black licorice comparison is throwing me off (sorry, but I despise black licorice enough that whenever I try it I have to spit it out). Sounds like your overall masking experience went great though ๐
@QueenMarceline, I'm not a fan of black licorice as a candy and the thought of it as a scent in the mask made me both hesitant and intrigued about this new Fresh overnight mask. Glad they offered a DS size. The results from this mask are not bad, but I'm not sure I'll repurchase. There are a lot of sleeping masks on the market now that deliver the same or better results with scents I like more than this one.
@itsfi @Kim888 it sounds like both of you have much more fine-tuned olfactory senses than I do! I tried, tried again, but I just could not detect what you did. It is incredibly helpful to know, though, in case those notes are a no-go for others. I do think I will try it as a daytime moisturizer as you did, though. The licorice looks delicious, too, by the way ๐
@eshoe, maybe your DS came from a batch where the scent isnโt so strong? I didnโt pick up on a scent with the in-store tester but do with my DS. The licorice was really for testing purposes; I passed them along to the neighbors after using a couple to as a reference point for the smell of licorice. ๐
You know, @itsfi, that is definitely a possibility. It wasnโt for lack of trying, mine just had nothing! ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I think a licorice scent would have been a nice touch, actually. My Grandfather loved Allsorts and as a result, so do I โบ๏ธ
@eshoe, sorry you didn't pick up a licorice scent; sometimes that happens.
Ohh, the scent on the Jasmine Tea edition of the eye mask sounds heavenly, @itsfi!
@quspork, I typically go for the unscented version or whichever scent I find on sale as they are all fine with me. I was curious about the jasmine tea scent and it being LE. It did not dissapoint at all - it worked well which was to be expected and the scent! Such a nice one. Would be great if it didn't stay LE. ๐ค
I seen these steam eye masks before but never tried one. How intense is the warming?
@erikarosenim, I think the intensity will depend on the person and how sensitive you are to heat. When I first use these, I thougth the heating effect was pretty intense and I took them off for some time and then put them back on. But, as I became more accustomed to them, the intensity doesn't feel very intense - I mean, I notice the warming / heating effect but it's not bothersome and it doesn't make me want to take it off for any period of time. It's definitely noticeable but nowadays, I look forward to that warming.
Steam eye mask may be the best mask I've ever been introduced too as well @itsfi ! ... ahhhhem... THANK YOU! I just went and pulled one for tonight. Perfect idea, thanks!
