[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💗

@QueenMarceline Nice that you are getting to use up your Sephora masks!!

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 Me too, maybe I'll do another one tonight since my skin is still peeling, lol! 🙄😂

[Mellmars1185]

@QueenMarceline Sounds like your skin might be thirsty? What about a serum that doesnt irritate your skin and a nice thick non comedogenic moisturizer to create a nice barrier from this cold winter air?

[QueenMarceline]

@Mellmars1185 I've been using Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer 1.69 oz/ 50 mL and it's been a god send. I was not using it before because of the acne and I usually steer away from it when I feel any oiliness since it's so heavy but it's been immensely helping. 🙂 I have a hyaluronic serum I need to open/start using that I recently got in a haul. I might incorporate that in with my masking tonight, thanks for the reminder I almost forgot I had that haha!

[missjeanie]

@QueenMarceline Totally random... but since you mentioned the DE Lala... I've used the Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm 0.13 oz/ 3.8 g as a skin barrier cream.  It shows as an eye cream/lip balm combo, but when I was out in the mountains I discovered that it makes a great little pocket balm that you can easily put on your face if you're out in the cold cold.

[QueenMarceline]

@missjeanie Oh wow, that's awesome. I actually have never heard of it used like that and I was never interested in the product as a lip balm but it sounds super interesting to use as a pocket face balm (or even hand/elbow balm?) this would be so perfect to throw in a travel bag or purse.

[missjeanie]

@QueenMarceline I randomly tried it once when my eyelids were super dry.  Ever since I'm a fan of keeping it with me if I'm outside much with the wind and cold.  I've used it out on the boat before, but it's really best for me in the dead of winter.

[QueenMarceline]

@missjeanie Thank you, that's such a unique tip. Now that I think of it I may have one of these laying around from an old DE gift set.

My bologna mask arrived! I'm going to wait for one of you to try and review the mask before I open mine because I'm slightly terrified of this.

 

Anyway, for the week's hydration theme, I'm going with the lovely and hydrating Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask Red Camellia  which has a pretty tint to it.

[CookieGirl1]

@txcatx You do know that you're required to actually take a pic of yourself wearing this, right? 😉

[QueenMarceline]

@txcatx I'm very excited to see you review this! 🙂

[Shosh85]

@txcatx  Just tried this one! Hydrogel isn't my favorite mask material, but the results turned out better than I expected. I think the scent was what I most curious about 😂 I'll be interested to hear what you think of it! It's definitely an entertaining one!

[ather]

@txcatx  Ahhh I saw this one online. I couldn’t bring myself to ordering it. But I’m excited to hear your thoughts when you do try it!!

[Weetart]

I just, the thought of bologna is so disgusting to me that even though it's hilarious there isn't a way I could purchase this one. The packaging is adorable.

In fact, this reminds me. I recently looked at my mask collection and have decided out with you all!!! I posted a lot for most of them on eBay (over a 100 masks!) and returning to tried-and-true masks. And a very calculated approach to new ones and purchasing more of the ones I know I love a lot.

@txcatx, @Shosh85 used the bologna mask earlier this week (never thought I’d say this, but I need a bologna emoji 😆) -

[txcatx]

@itsfi Thanks! I totally missed that post. I'm now not nearly as scared of the mask now that I know if does not smell like bologna!

[itsfi]

Right @txcatx?!! We don’t need it to resemble bologna that much! 😂 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. 

[Indy701]

Whattt the heck? 😂 I need to send this to someone.  Edit - done. Sent it to my bff. 

I saw so much about that Tatcha mask that I got one and I love it.  Lives up to the hype.

Getting a slight jump on F fresh Floral Recovery Overnight Mask with Squalane 3.3 oz/ 100 mL 

I will start by saying I’m obsessed with the scent of this. It’s not really floral; I’m not sure what it is, but it’s so familiar. I think it smells like some kind of licorice-y childhood snack haha. 

It smoothed on well enough but it’s quite tacky after you put it on. Overall this overnight mask was fine, but I don’t run out and buy it. Maybe it’s trying to be too much? Like it’s not really as hydrating like a sleep mask, but I didn’t find it as soothing as the Laneige one. So it just sort of seems average at everything. 

I also used the Hydrating Boost jelly sheet mask. The fit on this was super large but I love how soft and thick the mask is and the jelly was super hydrating! It did seem to absorb really well! However, it did pill up a bit later so this is probably best not to use as a morning mask. I’d still use it again.

@Kim888  

I loved how hydrating that jelly mask was too.

[lmaster]

@Kim888 I've never seen this version of the jelly mask,, sounds great!!
