💕😌 Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the Skin & Body Care Masking Challenge! 

Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Share your thoughts and observations on a mask you have tried, we need all the details, please! Most importantly - have fun!

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💗

I never heard of Fred Meyer @Shosh85 . I thought that the price when not on sale was $4.00 but Ulta had frequent sales on it.

[ShortErica]

Oh boo! No Fred Meyers by me and you know I would have a really hard time spending $4 on a mask @Shosh85. Now if they put it in a jar and charged $X that provided so many uses, I'd be game.

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  Yes! They should totally put this stuff in a jar! 😍

[Loretta55]

That would be a great idea @ShortErica . Fred Meyer must be a west coast based store.

[Shosh85]

@Loretta55  Yes, I'm in Oregon. Fred Meyer is a Kroger store. I know Kroger has stores on the east coast as well. @ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

@Shosh85 @Loretta55 there were some Kroger in central and more southern Ohio but none where I grew up and they aren't in Florida so somewhere in between on the east coast it seems like.

[Loretta55]

I thought that there were some Kroger’s in the Miami area @ShortErica , @Shosh85 . I also remember shopping at Kroger’s in both Atlanta and Kansas City.

[ShortErica]

@Loretta55 there might be 🤷 There wasn't any in Tallahassee when I was there and we don't have any in Orlando.

[Loretta55]

I have not traveled to the Miami in awhile @ShortErica, but I thought that I shopped at Kroger’s in Hallendale when I visited family who used to live there.

[Loretta55]

Kroger is located in the southeast but I live in the northeast @Shosh85.

[Shosh85]

@Loretta55  Oh, gotcha. I did remember reading they aren't in the North. 
I wonder if Fred Meyer is their last stop before they're gone for good. I haven't tried too many of their masks, but the Chocolate one is the only one I've liked - figures they'd get rid of it 😐

[Loretta55]

If you could find any additional chocolate masks stock io @Shosh85 . 

[eshoe]

Lol yes @Loretta55 @I tried hunting it down after I used it and discovered the same thing, @Loretta55 @ShortErica @Shosh85. All the good ones are discontinued much too soon😕

[ShortErica]

😭 @eshoe but I appreciate the information. Sometimes I feel like I should limit myself to masks that have been around forever just to not have them discontinued but then there's always the possibility of a reformulation to break my heart.

[eshoe]

@ShortErica sadly it’s not just masks. I guess this is the result of a consumer culture. I just learned my beloved Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid has been reformulated😕 If it isn’t discontinued it’s altered. Why mess with a good thing? Maybe it is limited to the trendier companies, as it seems like some products have been around forever! @Loretta55 @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  What?! I love that moisturizer! I literally just finished my last jar of it! I'll be curious to find out what they changed 🤔

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 @ShortErica I messaged the brand and this is what I was told:

”Thank you so much for reaching out! I was able to confirm with our Cosmetic Chemist that our Superfood Air-whip Cream was not updated or reformulated.If you have any question or concerns please let us know, we'd be more than happy to help!”

I shared it with @WinglessOne ; as it leaves me a little confused!

[ShortErica]

Do we need @Shosh85 to get to the bottom of it? I remember she was finally successful with customer service for oh, what brand was it? I'd take a picture of the two ingredient lists and reply back @eshoe. I'm guessing @WinglessOne or someone has the proof that it is different.

[eshoe]

I’ve already sent the photos and am waiting to hear back, @ShortErica @WinglessOne. This response might take a little longer, I suspect.

[ShortErica]

I'm invested in seeing what they say so thanks for the tag @eshoe. 🤞 they respond quickly and have some info about it

[ShortErica]

I saw @WinglessOne post about this @eshoe. I'm so sad for you and everyone else who loved it. Boo!
