[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 💮

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💗

@haleyvvvv, the Madecassoside flavor is great! ☺️ It’s one of the mask from the 0.2mm series that I’ll be repurchasing. ♥️

N is for Nourishing. I may be stretching to make this work but I feel like it was a super nourishing mask! 
Fit was wonky on this one which was strange since I usually love creme shop masks. It wasn’t annoying just off. Left it on for 30 minutes and my skin felt plump and hydrated. I would use this again for sure!

 

[eshoe]

“Fit was just a little wonky.”

Huh…sounds like it must be Crème Shop @ather  😄

[ather]

@eshoe  Right. It is but not an actual deal breaker. I can’t remember the mask I used last night but it was worse. 

[eshoe]

😳😕 @ather that’s not good.

[lmaster]

@ather ohhh this one sounds great

[ather]

@lmaster  Yes definitely recommend for a filler mask!

[elleb810]

@ather 
This one sounds good. Love avocado.

[ather]

@elleb810  It is soo good!

[quspork]

Sounds great, @ather! A good nourishing mask is so nice to have around!

[ather]

@quspork  I agree and no reaction to my troubled skin!! 

[itsfi]

N for nourishing fits beautifully into this week's theme @ather! AvocaDOs are highly nutritious and delicious! 💚🥑 This particular line of masks from The Creme Shop is one their oldest lines and I think that has something to do with the size and shape; template used for the mask mold. 'Wonky' is a good way to describe the fit - I haven't tried every mask from this particular collection but everyone that I have tried has been overly large, more so than most sheet masks, especially the area between the eyes.

[ather]

@itsfi  Thanks for supporting me!!! I should have taken a picture with the avocado toast I’ve been having everyday for lunch but I can’t make my pictures look as good as yours!! I am impressed this mask is still kicking around if it’s the older type. It is an excellent mask and great when my skin needed extra nourishment!! Thanks for the creme shop history lesson!!

[itsfi]

Mmmm, avocado toast @ather. 🥑🍞 Yummy yummy! 😋 Do you put any toppings or seasoning on your avocado toast? 

Oh, by older type of masks, I didn’t mean the mask is an old one. I think some brands have different molds for different mask lines and while they may redesign masks it doesn’t happen all the time across all different mask sheet collections from the brand.

[ather]

@itsfi  Well I make my own version of guacamole and put that on my toast. I’ve seen lots of people add everything bagel spice on it so I got some to try. It’s not bad but I feel like I don’t need it. But I’ll use it while I have it! I like mine extra salty so if my husband is home and eating it to I add less salt and will top mine with extra salt (I have low blood pressure so it’s actually encouraged for me to have salt) lol. Right now he’s away so it’s extra salty and I have fresh home grown tomatoes I need to eat up so I’ve been adding those as well. Sometimes I grow my own alfalfa sprouts and I’ll add those too. All depends on my level of lazy 🙄 

Ohhhh I get what you mean now! I thought maybe the avocado mask had been a long-standing mask they’ve had. I mean I wouldn’t blame them. Avocado is yummy and has so many benefits I could understand why it was a fan fav.

[PrettyPaint]

@ather  Oh, cool! I feel like I haven't seen this one before. Most all creme shop masks have some fit issues for me, but I still like them!

[ather]

@PrettyPaint  I agree the fit is off but not horrible that I can’t use them. 

[Shosh85]

@ather  I've tried a lot of Creme Shop masks, and I feel like most of them had a pretty awkward fit. To me, it seems the character masks have the best fit.

Glad to hear the results turned out great!

[ather]

@Shosh85  That’s good to know. Thanks!!

N is for Naughty and Nourishing

 The Creme Shop "Naughty" Rehydration Face Mask

This is a thin-medium cotton sheet mask that was soaking with serum and had a pleasant clean and fresh scent. The fit was pretty off – too long, too wide and the space between the eyes was too wide. I left it on for a about a half hour and a when I removed it there was just a little bit of serum left on my face that was only slightly tacky, but that went away quickly as soon as the serum absorbed. My face looked brighter, and felt soft and smooth and my skin felt comfortably hydrated. I enjoyed this one and would be happy to use again!

LAPCOS Honey Nourishing Mask

This cotton sheet mask was soaking in a gel type of serum and felt very slimy to touch – in fact, that made it just a little challenging to unfold. It was a pretty good fit – just a little too long at the forehead and quite a bit of slack to tuck under the chin. It had a very light and refreshing smell of honey and was just very soothing and comfortable to have on. I kept it on for a about 20 minutes and when I removed it my face felt very refreshed/energized and even had a nice glow! After the serum fully absorbed, my skin felt soft and smooth and the hydration from this lasted for quite sometime. I'm happy I have more of these and I'll definitely repurchase when I'm out! It's probably one of my most favorite honey masks! 😃

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 definitely a must have mask with honey 😍
