[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've used the thermal water spray from this brand and loved it @Weetart 

[ShortErica]

You! @lmaster making me feel all fancy. I've been using the mist prior to applying my HA serum and now it's become part of my routine and I never would have thought I'd be buying water to mist on myself but I think I just might. 😁😂

[lmaster]

@ShortErica 🤣 love it!! It's really great especially in the order you are using it in,, or will continue to use it in 😆 

[ShortErica]

Have you tried any other brands @lmaster? I'm still trying to limit going out but remember seeing Evian I believe when I found the Yadah masks at Marshall. Might have to pick it up.

[lmaster]

Well @ShortErica I just picked up the Caudalie Grape Water Limited Edition 6.7 oz/ 200 mL but have not used it yet

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Awe, I'm sorry to hear your skin is acting up, but I'm happy to hear this is helping! 

[Kim888]

That sounds really nice @Weetart - I agree I always kind of forget about them it I’ve liked the samples I’ve tried 

[quspork]

Oh nice, @Weetart! I don't think I've noticed the Avene mask before. They do have some great products though. 

[PrettyPaint]

@Weetart  I'm not too familiar with this brand, but I'll definitely keep it on my radar now 🙂

[lmaster]

K is for Kitty ☺️

This was a medium thickness sheet with super cute illustrations, clear bubbly serum with a bit extra. Fit was ok, but the cute designs and fresh clean scent made up for it!! 20 minutes later,, my skin felted refreshed and hydrated and a bit moisturized, this is a nice mask I'd gladly use again

Love Tea Time with HK @lmaster!

 

[lmaster]

Awwww that's adorable @eshoe 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  This whole Sanrio line is so cute! I remember liking the scent on this one too! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[lmaster]

They are so adorable @Shosh85 gotta love em

[quspork]

Glad this one worked out nicely for you, @lmaster! I always like the little designs on the HK masks. 

[lmaster]

They are really adorable!! @quspork 

[PrettyPaint]

This is such a cute mask @lmaster. Too bad it appears to be LE.

[lmaster]

They are all so cute @PrettyPaint can't resist the kitty!!

P is for pink and pearl, and for @sonnydee's rainbow theme - sure, technically ROYGBIV doesn't recognize pink as a color of the rainbow, a point acknowledged by my niece, but she also told me that it should be. I see her point. lol. 

Sheet Mask:

Spoiler

I know I've used and posted about a few sheet masks in The Creme Shop Correct Solutions line, but I can't recall if I've posted about the pink mask in particular. It seems like the masks in TCS Correct Solutions line is being phased out as I no longer see it available directly on TCS site. Each of the various masks in this line are/were geared to a specific skin concern, or concerns, in some cases. The Creme Shop Color-Correcting Pink Sheet Mask is a pink hued thick-leaning natural eucalyptus sheet mask that contains rose water and pearl essence, targets "sallow, lackluster skin", and claims to counter "olive undertones to reveal a beautifully balanced complexion." There's an absolutely divine and fresh rose cream scent that I find beautiful, but those sensitive to fragrance will want to pass on this mask. I actually pick up a fruity scent in this as well, one that reminds me of lychees, which makes the scent on this mask stand out from other rose-scented products. If there was an actual cream or lotion with this scent, I would definitely purchase it. ❤️

In terms of performance, I'd say that the mask lived up to its claims in that my skin felt nicely hydrated and my complexion looked brighter, more fresh and awake, but I'm not certain if it did so in any sort of way that set it significantly apart from other sheet masks with similar claims and ingredients. It's suited for all skin types except that those sensitive to fragrance (or another ingredient in the mask) or who don't like thicker, heavier masks may want to pass on this one. Also, those with extremely dry or very dehydrated skin might not find the hydration enough, except for perhaps the warmest part of the year. That being said, I found this mask to work nicely on my skin and it's one that I would use again if I had another of it, which I think I may.

Lip Care:

Spoiler

KNS Beauty Supa Scrub and KNC Beauty Supa Balm are two lip care products that I've used before - the scrub is gentle enough that it can be used every day and with the cool weather looking like it's more inclined to stay moving forward, I need to be better about exfoliating my lips more regularly and I think this will be one of the primary lip scrubs I reach for through the end of the year.  The KNS Beauty Supa Scrub comes in a set with a super cute physical scrubbing product made of silicone and shaped like a pair of lips, for some extra exfoliation. I tend to use the lip scrub on its own because quite frankly, I've just been too lazy these days to reach for the physical scrubber. I know, I know, do better Fi! Work in progress, folks; work in progress. 😉 The KNC Beauty Supa Balm has a rosy scent to it and it kinda tastes rosy to me too. It's made of moringa, cotton and kukui oils and shea butter so it glides effortlessly on the lips and keeps them feeling soft and moisturized. Sephora currently carries the brand's under eye and lip mask patches and I'd love to see the range expand to include more of their products, including the new sheet mask sets in this brand's portfolio. 

[eshoe]

@itsfi thank you for mentioning the eye patches from KNC Beauty, I am very interested in those and will check them out!

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  The color-correcting line seems like a nice one! I haven't tried this one yet, but I have tried the Orange and Green ones and loved them! So happy to hear it's a repurchase for you! 😃
