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’–

@eshoe  Same here. And Iโ€™ll try posting them in the empties thread.  ๐Ÿ˜ƒ good luck!!

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

Good idea, I will too @ather. Good luck! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

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

Yay for using foils, @ather!! ๐Ÿ‘

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

I really liked this one too @ather 

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

@ather 

I think I have a sample of this. Good to know this is helpful for dry skin. Mine's getting so dry. Ugh!!

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

@missy94612  I hope it helps!!! Itโ€™s definitely that time of year where I live!

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

@ather 

Right?!! I feel like it just turned cold all of a sudden - there was no gradual lead in, just cold! LOL

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

@missy94612  Right. We must live in the same time zone lol

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

@ather  I'm glad it helped! Sorry your skin is irritated. My skin is not happy with my KN95 wearing...not one bit. 

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

@PrettyPaint  Oh no. Iโ€™m so sorry. I wear a mask at one of my jobs 12.5 hours a day. My skin hates me. My other job I can wear cloth masks and itโ€™s not as bad but Iโ€™m training someone new so Iโ€™ll have to keep it on my whole day. 

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

This one really is so nice to have on hand for soothing dry or irritated skin, @ather

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

@quspork  I agree!

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

@ather, I'm so sorry that your skin is irritated and really dry. Glad you had a mask on hand to give your skin a little TLC. 

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

@itsfi  Yes!!! I always keep a few soothing masks on hand for sure. 

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

@ather I couldn't ever get down with that one; I'm sure that I'm in the minority but I hate the smell of cucumber!

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

@CookieGirl1  Oh no. I love cucumbers!!! I did hate the smell when I was pregnant tho. I couldnโ€™t even have them in my house.

- Lapothicell Plus Mask and LANEIGE Lip Treatment Balm 0.35 oz/ 10g

Microfiber sheet to add moisture and nourishment. 

Ingredients 
Aquaxyl (?) and Safflower oil (almost last) are noted. At least the lemonene is not added. 
Spoiler

Fit 
Okay-ish. Good width and length except a little long for my chin. Eye holes too small though. 
Spoiler
20210913_231402~2.jpg
Essence 
Semi-thin, clear, aqueous. 
Enough for neck, decollotage, arms, stomach and part of my legs. 
No obvious scent.

Wear Time 
10-20 minutes. I definitely wore for like 30 min. 

Effect 
Felt really nice and hydrating on. When I took it off, most of the serum had been absorbed. My skin wasn't like super hydrated (or maybe just not like "damp"), but it REALLY helped the next steps of my skincare routine absorb. 

Overall Grade 
B+. My skin felt great when wearing the mask. Even if it wasn't like super hydrated on the top layer, the rest of my skincare beautifully absorbed into my skin quickly. Maybe I wore a little long, I'll definitely shorten it next time.

I really like the feel of these Simply When masks but gah the formulas have yet to wow me. This was fine but not great. I think I have 2 or 3 more types, so fingers crossed one of those formulations works better.

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

The Laneige looks like a little balloon, @haleyvvvv. The Simply When also appears to fit your face well, bonus! I think the biocell line is much better, serum and fit-wise. Have you tried any of those?

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

I haven't yet, @eshoe , but I have a mixed pack of 5 of them. Their expiration dates are a little further off so I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. I'll have to pull one out soon. 

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

@haleyvvvv  The L mask sounds really nice. And it sounds like you were able to make great use of all the extra serum!!! 

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

Thank you, @PrettyPaint!!
