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’–

@Shosh85 @The bubble tea one yes.  I've only ever tried the green tea version of the Cosmetea one which I enjoyed.   Putting those on my list for once Iโ€™ve used up another 60 masks or so.  Im finally down to three book bins of masks and donโ€™t want to start a fourth one again.  

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

@heartsmyface I also noticed the expiration dates are mighty close or just passed on a group of mine... going to use all those suckers yup

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

@Weetart I culled half the masks from my collection in an attempt to give them a chance to be used in time but am still falling behind.  One of the hazards of wanting to try everything. 

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

The illustrations on the masks are super cute, @heartsmyface. ๐Ÿ’š Keroppi! 

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

@itsfi   Yea!!!! Theyโ€™re adorable and just like the hello kitty tea time one, the quality wasn't compromised for the print- which is rare. 

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

@heartsmyface, that Hello Kitty Tea Time mask is a good one! โ™ฅ๏ธ

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

@itsfi   An end to a beloved mask.  I have one tea time mask left and itโ€™s a month expired as well.  Itโ€™ll be my next masking session.  

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

F is for fruit, the golden kiwi fruit to be exact, which, from my experience, is much sweeter than the more commonly known green kiwifruit

F - fruit - Golden kiwi.jpg

 

Mask:The Saem Natural Feel Gold Kiwi Mask Sheet
Material:I read that this is a "3 layer microporous essence packet sheet" - huh? It was thin, felt soft. My best guess would have been cotton, possibly a thin-ish microfiber sheet
Adherence:Very good - even the sides of the mouth and eyes laid down well without need for adjustment; wore comfortably
Fit: Good width-wise, but extra long at chin and jawline (1-1/2" - 2" too long)
Essence / Serum:Clear, thin watery without being runny, but since there's so much of it, it does drip all over.
Scent: A very, very, very faint kiwi fruit scent, though unsure whether it's from the kiwi extract (5th ingredient listed) or added fragrance
Ingredient Spotlight:Golden kiwi (which is different from the regular kiwi fruit)
Claim(s):Ultra hydrating and replenishing
Results:Skin feels hydrated and looks brightened, but no more so than could be achieved with most other sheet masks. No irritation, tack or stickiness.
Best Suited For:Daily masking
Repurchase?:Probably not. It's one I'd use again if I had it in my mask library, but it's not one I would seek out. 
 
@Samtian, I recall you using a few masks from this line; have you tried this gold kiwi version? Also wondering if you noticed any difference in the mask than from say a regular cotton or microfiber sheet mask? That last question actually goes out to anyone who's used a sheet mask from this collection.

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

Well now I need to try a golden kiwi, @itsfi - it sounds delicious! The fabric intrigues me as well, although the description seems to be better than the actual experience.

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

@eshoe, hahaha! Yeah, it just felt like a cotton mask to me. ๐Ÿ˜• Maybe I need to refine my appreciation a sheet mask's material?! lol. If you run across a golden kiwi, definitely give it a try. I do think it's sweeter tasting. ๐Ÿ˜‹

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

I *think* I may have spied them at my local store, @itsfi, and I am going back for a second look thanks to Instacart ๐Ÿ˜‚ Whichโ€ฆI still cannot get over the fact that Sephora is now on that platform as well. 

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

@eshoe, I had forgotten that Instacart and Sephora partnered up late last year. Instacart really did well during the shelter-in-place / stay-at-home.

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

@itsfi I like that it has golden kiwi, didn't even know there was such a thing ๐Ÿคฆ

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

@lmaster, I only learned about golden kiwi fruit a year or two ago and had never seen a sheet mask with it so I had to pick this one up when I saw it. 

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

@itsfi  Hmm, interesting description of the material- haven't heard that before. ๐Ÿค” Sounds like a decent filler mask ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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

@Shosh85, yeah, I'm not sure if it's actually a different kind of sheet mask material or if it's a marketing thing. I'm leaning towards the latter. Yep, definitely a filler mask.

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

@itsfi  

I didn't even know there was a different type of kiwi; it sounds pretty good.

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

@elleb810, same here. I just learned about them a year or two ago. I have done a taste test (had to!) and the golden kiwi is sweeter than the regular green kiwi. ๐Ÿ˜

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

@itsfi I haven't used this one. And as for the other question...uh lol I have like zero knowledge of material used for sheet masks. I should probably start paying attention. 

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

@Samtian, ha! Iโ€™ll keep an eye out for when you use this one. Itโ€™s not bad. The actual Golden kiwi fruit is the better of the two. ๐Ÿ˜† 

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

@itsfi I'm not sure if I have this one, but I'll keep an eye out!
