[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?

Miss Spa Chocolate Self-Heating Clay Mask

  
  This is a thick and goopy clay mask that is brown in color and looks like chocolate frosting or pudding. The scent is super delicious- it smells like chocolate batter! Sooo good! It was a little challenging trying to squeeze it out because of how thick it was.

   Once I got it on my face and started spreading it around I could feel a gentle warming effect that was quite soothing, especially considering how cold it's been lately. It's not as intense as the Farmacy Honey Potion mask, but still very nice. The warming also helped the mask spread better - kinda like melting chocolate.😍 The mask never hardened and it was comfortable on my face the entire time.

   After about 30 minutes I removed it with a warm washcloth and it came off easy. My face was a little brighter and felt SOO soft and smooth. My skin was slightly dry (this happens with most wash off/clay masks,) but nothing that made me feel like running to the moisturizer immediately.

   I haven't been too impressed with this brand, in fact, this is probably the only I've liked! I've repurchased this one several times already, because the scent alone is worth it to me! Unfortunately, after I use the last one in my stash I won't be able to repurchase more, because it's discontinued now. It's my favorite from the brand, so of course it's discontinued now. ☹️

[lmaster]

Of course it's discontinued  @Shosh85 wouldn't want too much chocolate to ruin our skin!!! 😩

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Hahaha! Right?! 😂

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 That sounds like a really nice mask! I know some people that participated in this thread haven't been able to log onto BIC for a while. 

[Shosh85]

Yeah, I've heard some people have had a really tough time getting on here 😢 

Thanks, @Samtian! This one is such a fun one! Can't go wrong with chocolate! 🍫 😋

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Definitely can't go wrong that way!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback on this mask I feel like the warming effect would be really nice but I’m sorry to hear the brand hasn’t been the best! But glad you liked this!  It looks like real chocolate though! ❤️❤️ @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! It's smells so good, I have to remind myself not to lick it 😋😂

[peculiarzmakeup]

I would have to do the same 😂 @Shosh85 

[NANAGAGA613]

glow recipe sheet mask was my 2024 fav!! its just the absolute best !!!

[peculiarzmakeup]

I had no idea they had a sheet mask I might just try this I’m so glad it worked well for you 🩷 @NANAGAGA613 

[Shosh85]

That's great to hear @NANAGAGA613! Are you taking about the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hydrating & Soothing Jelly Sheet Mask 1.16 oz / 33 g?  I really enjoyed that one too! 🍉

[poon33]

Oh wow

[Shosh85]

Haven't been doing a whole lot of masking lately, because, you know, life just gets in the way sometimes- but I'm trying to get back into the groove of things 😉

Missha Talks Vegan Squeeze Sheet Mask ~ 82% Mega Nutritious

Material:

Super thin cotton, almost transparent on my face - possibly tencel?

Serum:

Thin milky consistency, and there was a little extra leftover.

Scent:

A very light coconut scent, that was pretty much undetectable while the mask was on

Fit:

It fit great - just a teensy bit too long at the chin/jawline

Wear Time:

35 minutes. Probably could've gone longer, but I wanted to eat 😬

Tack:

Very, very light. Probably lasted just a few minutes

Results:

Moisturized, super soft and smooth, dewy-looking skin. My face just had a soothed kind of feeling.

Repurchase?

Yes, absolutely! I really had no complaints about this one 😉


Ingredients:

[lmaster]

I enjoy these as well @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Oh, I didn't know you've tried these, @lmaster! The fun packaging lured me in! 😉

[lmaster]

I have not tried this particular version @Shosh85 but I have I think 3 other ones

Not really following a theme today.  I’m doing the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate™ Intensive Exfoliating Treatment 5 oz  while banished to the bedroom due to Covid.  It a HG product for me when I have the time and am not soeed peeling with DDG peel pads.  I learned a long time ago that I don’t need to have an opaque green layer on my face for this to be effective.  I strangely love the burning sensation for the first 30 seconds.  It makes me feel like it’s working.  😄
