💕😌 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?

@Shosh85 a banana-scented foot mask?!  I'm here for it.  

[Shosh85]

Haha! @CookieGirl1 😂 My thoughts exactly

The Creme Shop Cica-Mend Sheet Mask 🐯

Material:

thin-leaning-medium cotton that had a cute tiger design on it. 🐯

Serum:

A bit watery. It was so drenched with serum, I had to squeeze it out a bit before placing

Scent:

It had a pleasant clean and fresh kind of scent that was hardly noticeable while the mask was on.

Fit:

The fit was great and was only a little too long at the chin. It was comfortable to wear and the adherence was good, except for the extra length at the chin that didn't want to lay flat.

Wear Time:

About a half hour

Tack:

Just a little bit, but was absorbed within minutes

Results:

My face looked a little brighter and more even and my skin felt refreshed, hydrated and soft and smooth

Repurchase?

These Crème Shops masks are always super cute, but can be pretty hit-and-miss in terms of fit and results. This is probably one of my most favorites from the brand and one I'll continue to buy whenever I spot them at TJ Maxx/Marshall's. (If I recall correctly, this one of @itsfi's favorite from the brand as well?😉)

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 So cute! bummer to hear they are discontinued! 

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  Right?! It's always the things you love 🥹

[itsfi]

You look great @Shosh85! You're right - this is one of my faves from the brand - this is actually one of my favorite cica masks, any format (sheet, wash off, overnight). Which perhaps may be why it has been discontinued??? 😟 Or, pehaps repackaged and no longer with the absolutely adorable tiger print?! I see that they have a Cica-Mend mask but it's not part of the animated animal series - I'll have to do a comparison of the INCI list another day to confirm whether it's just been repackaged. Tagging @lmaster as I know she likes the tiger Cica Mend too - if either of you see these at TJMaxx / Marshall's, you may want to stock up on it. What is it with discontinuing the good ones?!!

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Oh, interesting! I didn't know there was a non-animal print cica-mend mask.... (but I've also been trying not to go near the mask section since I'm on mask overload at the moment and still just trying to get through some expired ones 😬) I'll have to keep my eye out for that one though, because a comparison of the two is definitely a great a idea! 
Of course, Fi, of course!.... all the good stuff always gets continued 😢

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 gotta love these!!

[Shosh85]

For sure @lmaster! It's always nice when they're cute and give great results! 😃👍

[peculiarzmakeup]

This mask looks awesome on you! I’m so glad you had a good experience with it! Thank you for covering fit and wear time I think that’s so helpful plus the other information you have I rarely consider these things in the moment when shopping these are super helpful considerations ❤️❤️❤️ @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

Thanks so much, @peculiarzmakeup! I've masked so much over the years, I've found it helpful to save detailed notes so I can remember everything about them later 😉

[peculiarzmakeup]

I appreciate you sharing your experience! I’m definatley looking for some new masks! I might pop into a Sephora soon 🙂 with these things in mind @Shosh85 ❤️

Started the new year off with the Créme Shop Be Juicy, Skin Corgi face mask. PS yes I used the snapchat filter I always use. 

*may or may not have been expired.

*super cute design.

*too long for my face.

*way too much serum, it was pouring down my face even after giving it some squeezes first.

*smelled kinda peachy though! 

Not my image

How cute!!! @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster It's adorable! I saw some for the holidays with a corgi and a hat. I got them for my sister in law so I don't know if the mask actually has them on it like that. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian ughh, I hate using sheet masks that are way too long and especially when they're drippy!  I usually leave them on for about two minutes before getting exasperated and removing them, lol.

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 I try and fight through it. But if it gets in my eyes, we done lol. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Samtian you clearly possess more patience than I have 😂.

[Samtian]

@CookieGirl1 🤣 I get comments about how patient I am fairly often lol. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

These masks look amazing i find a lot of masks to get drippy too but im glad it was a good smell! @Samtian  

[Samtian]

@peculiarzmakeup Me too! I always try to remember to squeeze some out before I start.
