💕😌 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?

Ugh that's the worst when it happens 😭😭😭

@lmaster I'm crossing my fingers for you that it won't be 🤞

[itsfi]

And now I want pumpkin pie @lmaster! 😀 I am going to have to double check that someone is bringing pumpkin pie to dinner tomorrow night! 😆 Loved hearing that your skin felt so soft after using this one. That's a great result anytime but especially during this cold!

[lmaster]

@itsfi this has to be one of my favorites from the brand, the scent is just too good to be considered a filler 😂

[ather]

@lmaster  Omg this one sounds yummy!! 

[lmaster]

@ather one of the best smelling masks I've tried

[ather]

@lmaster  I’m going to screenshot this one and get it!! 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Glad to hear you liked this one! What did it smell like to you? I thought it kinda smelled like maple 🍁 This brand sure does a great job with packaging 😃🥧

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I thought it was a mix of pumpkin sugar and spice lol it was amazing and made me crave pumpkin pie 

[Kim888]

omg that packaging @lmaster - glad it also actually works well!!!

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster the name and the packaging are adorable!  Bonus that it smells great too :).

[lmaster]

@CookieGirl1 it is a cute name 😆 girl it smells like pumpkin sugar spice 😋

After a busy day I needed to relax and do some self care tonight. I have a stack of almost expired I’m working my way through so I grabbed this one. 

V= V7. I left this one on for 20 minutes and I do notice my skin a bit brighter. My husband thought this mask was weird because there was 2 layers and it took convincing which one went on my face. He said 1/10 stars for application because it got twisted. I spent some of my day out in the cold so my lips needed some extra care as well. Rhode peptide treatment hit the spot like usual!! This was a great masking combo! I would definitely use it again.

@ather 

We liked the creaminess of the serum in this one. Soothing and moisturizing in a mask is a must with this cold weather.

[ather]

@missy94612  Yay I’m so happy you loved it!! 

[lmaster]

Oh the lip mask sounds lovely @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  It is so good!! 

[itsfi]

Ooooh, I really like this mask @ather! 🧡 The creamy serum is just sooo good. Dr Jart did a redesign of its packaging and I haven’t tried this new one (or looked into whether the INCI list is the same - sure hope so; making not to do a comparison.) 

[ather]

@itsfi  It’s definitely a great mask!! Here’s the ingredients from the back of this one. I wonder if we could find the old ones ingredients. 

 

[itsfi]

[ather]

@itsfi  Ooo interesting! I like the new version has Niacinamide so high on the list and the old version didn’t. 

[itsfi]

Yes @ather, I agree; it makes sense that an ingredient like niacinamide is higher up on an INCI list for a brightening mask. I am bummed that beta glucan is no longer in the new version of the mask, but it is good to see a shorter INCI list too (or at least it look sto be shorter?). It also looks like some ingredients in the original version that may be known to cause or have the potential to cause irritation or a negative reaction have been removed in the newer version.
