Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ouhhhh chantecaille sounds amazing @itsfi 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster, it is. And itโ€™s a pretty penny too so I will be savoring and hoarding this little deluxe sample size for a while. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I have two masks that were pretty good

  • This one had a clear serum with tons in the package
  • The scent was nothing special, that typical bandaid scent
  • The fit was small in the eye hole and mouth area
  • Wear time was 15 minutes 
  • Slight tack after removal
  • My skin looked clarified and cleanIMG_20240526_214722139.jpg

IMG_20240526_214726812.jpg

  • This one had the same clear serum
  • Fit was small eye and mouth holes
  • The scent on this one was fruity 
  • Wear time 15 minutes 
  • My skin looked glowy and felt hydrated
  • Decent filler masks

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster, the illustration on the packaging are a draw; I remember seeing these on amazon but not recognizing the brand. The pomegranate one sounds good. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi they are decent for sure!

This one was fun!

 

The scent reminded me of bandaids 

 

Wear time was 15 minutes 

 

Plenty of clear bubbly serum 

 

Slight tackiness after serum is absorbed 

 

** I think this mask would be great as a primer mask. The slight tackiness is excellent for makeup to grip onto 

 

Fit ๐Ÿ‘‡

April 2024 Masks

4.2024 Masks - Collage.jpg

Spoiler
Oribe Alchemy Strengthening Masque makes for a great deep treatment when you're short on time. 5 minutes is all you need. I like how my hair feels less brittle and frizzy after using this mask. I have plenty of hair masks to make my way through but this is definitely on the list of hair masks that I'll look to when it comes time to picking up another one.
 
The Erborian Yuzu Vitamin Mask is a fun one - hard not to smile when I see the pretty, pale-yellow hue and smell the soft, subtle citrusy scent when I dispense the product from the tube. It can be left on for โ€‹as little as 10 minutes or overnight, which is how I like to use it. The product has a lightweight lotion consistency that glides smoothly across the skin. My skin feels soft and has an overall healthy, brightened glow to it.
 
Love honey as a skincare ingredient; itโ€™s so nourishing. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿฏ  Farmacy Potion Plus Mask is one of my top 3 favorite honey wash off mask. It gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin - a 2-in-1 mask - and has a light, warming feel that is relaxing after a long day.
 
The Creme Shop Cica Mend Mask is not only one of the cutest sheet masks youโ€™ll find, itโ€™s one of the best Cica sheet masks out there, at least in my mind. Hydrates, calms irritated skin, and reduces the appearance of redness, this oneโ€™s a repeated repurchases and looks to continue to be that.
 
Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask exfoliates, decongest pores, smooth skin, reduces the appearance of redness, all in 5 minutes. Itโ€™s also a shade of greige green that is both off putting and easy on the eyes. It claims to be warming and you can feel that, slightly when you massage the product into the skin. This one can be drying depending on your skin type.
 
The Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions Lift + Repair Eye Masks came with the DDG DRx SpectraLite EyeCare Max Pro that I purchased during last yearโ€™s fall sale. These eye masks are โ€ฆ just okay. It could just be the one I had too - it didnโ€™t adhere very well and I didn't find that I got as much hydration from it that I have with other masks similar to this. It could be that this was an older batch, too, as it said this was part of a 2022 bundle?

The other masks I used during that particular masking session performed wonderfully and continue to be ones I love to use.
 

* amika Nourishing Mask - my hair feels soft, smooth, and well hydrated and moisturized every time I use this. Never heavy or weighed down.

* Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask (old packaging) is a wonderfully gentle and effective mask for decongesting pores and helping to shrink and calm breakouts. I generally reach for this at least once per month, sometimes more. As the weather warms, this becomes more of a staple in my skincare routine, with use ranging from 1-3 times per week. 

Oribe Hair Alchemy Strengthening Mask 5 oz / 150 mL 

Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask 

Tatcha The Clarifying Clay Mask Exfoliating Pore Treatment 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusionsโ„ข Lift + Repair Eye Mask 

amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask 

innisfree Super Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 3.38 oz / 100 ml 

 

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi I still need to try that tatcha mask ๐Ÿ˜ great line up for the month!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

She's pricey @lmaster but worth checking out if you can get your hands on the mini size.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  So many good ones here! That Farmacy mask is seriously the best! I love it especially in the colder months!

The Cica Crรจme Shop mask is probably my most favorite from the brand! I always pick up a pack when I see them at Marshall's/TJM ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿ’ฏ @Shosh85 about the Cica Mend being a fave among TCS masks. I wish they didnโ€™t discontinue those oversized maskerade eye masks. When it comes to a Cica sheet mask, Iโ€™m mainly using a VT multipack, but if the single use sheets, I like this one, as well as one from JMSolutions & the #Dr. Jart+ Cicapair โ„ข Sensitive Skin Serum Face Mask for Redness 1 Mask / pack.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Yes! Absolutely love the Dr. Jart one! I've been having some good luck finding them at Marshall's lately too! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Both of these were great! My skin is really needing some TLC and these felt so nice!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  Glad these turned out nice for you! I would've definitely bought that mask just for the cute cactus! ๐ŸŒต ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I know the packaging is too inviting and cute @Shosh85 ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅฐ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

IMG_20240409_082228204.jpg

Not floral or spring-y but still amazing!!

 

Seems like this one is discontinued??

Shocker.... Because it's the BEST bio cellulose mask I've ever used ๐Ÿ˜” 

 

This mask was actually drenched in serum, it looked like a hybrid between a cream and serum. 

So it wasn't as thick as a cream, but it was milky in color, with a thinner consistency.

 

Second skin fits this mask, it adhered to my face like a suction ๐Ÿคฃ there was no moving around at all. 

 

I loved it and wore it for 20 minutes

 

After removing, my skin absorbed the serum without feeling dry, it was lightly moisturized and my skin felt so good!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster  Oh, man! This one sounds so great! ...... so of course it's discontinued! ๐Ÿฅน

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85 I will never understand why the great masks get discontinued!!! It doesn't make sense

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster, this one sounds nice and the ingredients look good. Was it part of a Facetory box?
