💕😌 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💗

Isn’t that the truth, @quspork 😂

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the sheet mask on the 2-step was nice for hydration. Do you know what was reformulated?

[eshoe]

I knew I saved these for a reason, @itsfi. It looks like they removed the fragrance, for one, yay! @Shosh85 the Moon Velvet was reformulated too! I did not notice a difference from the original, however🤷🏻‍♀️

 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  That Babyfacial is such a good one! It definitely packs a punch!

The Facetory mask sounds so great! I haven't tried this one yet, but there's been a few by the brand that I've tried and really liked. 😃

[eshoe]

I think the Moon Velvet was a good one (from Facetory) @Shosh85. Most have been so-so, but this was pretty impressive!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe @itsfi  So good to hear you both liked the Moon Velvet mask! I actually have that in my line up of masks for next week! 😃

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 I think you might just like it;)  @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@Shosh85 @eshoe I used the Moon Velvet mask the other day and it was wonderfully moisturizing. 👍

[eshoe]

Ooooh it is such a good one, @itsfi @Shosh85. It checks quite a few of those 💗 it mask boxes🙌🏼

[missjeanie]

@eshoe Love the Babyfacial.  I think it's my fav product from DE.  Sounds like Facetory is on to a good improvement!

[eshoe]

You know, @missjeanie, it might be mine, too. I used to love the La La but just did not repurchase after finished a jar oh, a year or so ago? I like the C-Tango eye cream, and the B serum, but I haven’t gone beyond a DS with those. 

[missjeanie]

@eshoe I've used and really enjoyed a lot of DE products.  TLC was my nightly serum for a few years.  I like the Ctango eye cream as well.  Lala was wonderful for me in the winter, but I've found others items that I like as much for less.  The Babyfacial is the one that I just haven't seen the same results from another product.  At least not yet 😉

[eshoe]

“Not yet.”

Famous last words, @missjeanie 😂

[missjeanie]

[Mellmars1185]

@eshoe Sounds like the DE product is a good one! I don't beleive that one is available in Canada. One day i hope to get my hands on it!

[eshoe]

No, it isn’t @Mellmars1185. I believe the The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution 1 oz/ 30 mL is not, either. Someday!!

[QueenMarceline]

@eshoe I also love the BabyFacial from DE but it is quite intense, have not used it in a while... maybe I need to crank it out 🙂 Also, WOO HOO to Facetory for doing a reformulation correctly. It's so refreshing to see especially with some of the reformulation fails we have received in products lately.

[eshoe]

YES, @QueenMarceline - so many times a reformulated products ends up rather ho-hum. This was a big upgrade, and worthy of a repurchase!

[QueenMarceline]

@eshoe Yes, always such a wonderful surprise when that happens 🙂

Ampoule Black tea Cosmetea

• This was a thin white sheet, and by all accounts was the misty flexible sheet I can remember ever using
• You could stretch the sheet in any way without tearing to cover any areas you need more coverage
• The scent, I can't quite remember, I feel like it was geared twords a tea scent, but don't hold me to that 😂
• I could only leave it on for about 15 minutes, it started to dry out
• Unfortunately I wasn't too impressed with the results, I'm thinking it could be climate related since it is so bitter cold and dry right now. I just didn't feel nourished much, maybe a touch hydrated, that's about it. 
• I would gladly try it out in the spring, summer or fall to see if any results change

Too bad it didn't seem to live up to its claims, @lmaster. But it would definitely be interesting to see if you experienced better results during a different season.
