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💗

@itsfi Haha. Those butt masks are a real pick me up kind of product.  You can’t help but smile while doing one.  I love sticker type masks as well. You can get things done in them. 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, these make for a good laugh! 😆 I do like that they stay on. Got my laundry done, did some prep work for cooking, etc. All while masking my bum! Must-tasking at its best. 😂 

[lmaster]

At least the bubble mask was not a complete fail @itsfi love the "too shy" reference 😆

[itsfi]

Lol. Modesty when it comes to those butt masks @lmaster! 😂🤣😂 It’s nice to have a couple of bubble masks I like if I were to want to use one. 👍🏼

Rock On 🎸  and B's 

-Animated Llama would make for a good band name, or maybe a DJ name? This Brightening mask works about as well as the similar Creme Shop masks. They're more cute than effective. The fit wasn't great, no discernable scent, wear time 25+ min. A bit brightening, a bit hydrating, not as cute as the penguin. C. 

-Generation Clay could be like a 90s style alt rock band name. Or a Clay Aiken cover band? This is a fine Clay mask, not my favorite, but nicely works to get into pores without over drying (if follow the wear time). I prefer the Origins, but for anyone who doesn't like how exfoliating that one is, this would be a good option. 

-Dragon's Blood is SUCH a good band name. I'd go see them when this is all over. These were both fine. The eye masks help depuff and brighten my under eye. The lip mask was difficult to apply and I eventually figured out to take the second mesh, and the gel mask got all twisted. I eventually got it right and it was nicely hydrating (the night before I'd done a lip scrub, so my lips needed a little more TLC). Overall good. I wouldn't repurchase either, but would use again. B/B-. 

-I love the Hanalei masks, and the Lychee soothing one was no exception. I needed it after using the following two. 

-Timeless Beauty Bar. Ooof these both were terrible. I got them from Ipsy. The Face the Day was a rough, paper texture which irritated my skin. I barely had it on 5 min and had to take it off. Maybe not enough a serum? But wow, was that a dream compared to the Glam and Glow one. This was immediately irritating and started to burn/tingle a bit. I took it off and things seemed okay that night but my skins been extra sensitive since then. Blah. D-/F.

Your band names are excellent!! @haleyvvvv 

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @lmaster!!

[itsfi]

Love the band names @haleyvvvv! 😁 I'm looking forward to using that lychee mask; just have to work my way through a few more in the bin first. Does it smell like lychee?

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @itsfi!! The mask didn't really have a lychee scent.

Mask the other evening:

I am not sure what part of this mask made my skin tingle, but no ill effects occured from it. However, I'm not a fan of tingling skin without a cause and expectation, so this will be a pass in the future. It was a light, watery mask from recollection, and did not create tackiness. 

[heartsmyface]

@l8totheparty  Aw, yeah it’s somewhat reassuring when masks tell you some tingling is expected so you can brace for it and not worry when you sense it.  

[Shosh85]

@l8totheparty  Yup, I felt some  tingling with this one too. Sorry to hear you experienced the same thing 🤔😳

[lmaster]

Tingling can definitely be a unwelcomed feeling if you are not expecting it! @l8totheparty 

[itsfi]

Hmmm.... I literally picked this mask out of my bin the other day and then put it back. Thanks for the heads up about the tingling @l8totheparty; will keep that in mind. I should probably go now and write a note about that on the back of the mask. 

[haleyvvvv]

Oh that mask is so cute, @l8totheparty, too bad it caused tingling 😞

[l8totheparty]

Oh I looked like a panda for sure! Lol It was a super cute mask. Alas, the tingling. @haleyvvvv @itsfi

I had added on this Holler and Glow, "Fresh Outta Juice" (Watermelon) clay mask to a Target order without really knowing anything about it. I had never heard of this brand before, so it may be a Target brand. The name also reminded me of a band or song title, so we'll go with that. 

It's a pink clay mask. It dried down like a typical clay mask and had pretty typical clay mask effects. It was nice and refreshing, and I was surprised by how much was in the packet. I thought it was just one-time use, but there was definitely enough in there to use it twice. What I liked about it most was that it actually smelled a bit like watermelon. I thought that was cool because usually clay masks tend to smell like....clay. 

[Shosh85]

@PrettyPaint  I tried a sheet mask from this brand and was not impressed, but this sounds much better! Will have to look out for this one, because a watermelon scented clay mask sounds wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[PrettyPaint]

@Shosh85  Oh I didn't even realize they had sheet masks. I'm not especially picky when it comes to clay masks, but it was nice to have a scented one. 

[lmaster]

😌 @PrettyPaint a clay mask that smells like watermelon??? Yes please

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  Watermelon makes everything better! 🍉
