[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?

S Week and Buddying Up with the Superfood Salad for Skin Soothing Sheet Mask - Green Tea which was a gift from @Shosh85 - woo! another S.

Something weird was happening with my phone and any selfie pics were turning out like this.Luckily restarting the phone seemed to fix it

Something about this brand that is appealing to me and the two I've tried were enjoyable so I'll note a bias for this mask. It had a light and pleasant green tea scent. It was a good fit, just puckers in a few areas. I wore it for 25 minutes even though it said 10-20 and then folded and placed it on my neck. Afterwards I felt no tack. My skin looked fresh. I wouldn't say anything phenomenal but very enjoyable. I used my moisturizer and felt set. I've had good experiences with these and they tend to have a good scent level for me. It's a wonderful no fuss mask and I would rate it above a "filler." I don't feel the need to rush and purchase but if I ran across a variety pack at a good price, this is a mask I'd pick up. A-. Can't wait to hear what any buddies thought! 😁

[lmaster]

@ShortErica totally agree it's better than a filler imo as well

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  Sounds like we pretty much have the same thoughts about these - they're nothing amazing, but more than fillers. Glad you liked this one! 

[ShortErica]

It makes me more confident having a consensus of sorts about them @Shosh85 😀

[PrettyPaint]

@ShortErica  This looks like a nice one, and I always love a green tea scent. The fit looks quite good! 

[ShortErica]

Yes, these ones are so close to perfect on me @PrettyPaint! Love not having to worry about snipping or folding.

SNP Animal Rabbit Face mask. Says balancing and brightening. Well, it is hydrating and my skin looks brighter when it’s well hydrated. Horrible fit for me, lots of snip snip. Still have a couple of these left. I like them. Has a nice scent to it, delicate and not overwhelming. 

 

 

 

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  SNP makes some nice masks! It's too bad the fit was off, but it sounds like it gave you some great results! Bonus points for being super cute! 😃🐰

[ShortErica]

Yay for delicate scents @Weetart!

[lmaster]

That design is so cute @Weetart 

[Weetart]

@lmaster Hah! Yes it is and also a bit terrifying! 

[Weetart]

I’m down to two face sleeping masks jars. Woohoo! I do like the Laneige Sleeping Masks. Too bad I’m out of the eye one, it’s really cooling and relaxing. I used the Lavender face one, I prefer the original scent but this is still a good light weight sleeping mask. And of course the laneige lime apple lip mask. Making good progress on that sucker. LANEIGE Lavender Water Sleeping Mask LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Apple Lime 

 

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Nice job! Those suckers seem to last forever! 

[lmaster]

@Weetart that's excellent you've been so dedicated!! 

[Weetart]

Thanks @lmaster ! It's definitely been a challenge to not buy... I thought maybe by the end of this year I'd have a more reasonable amount of space and excuse to buy new ones, but I discovered a mini drawer of sample sized ones that I MUST use, so I think I'm going to work through those now... maybe, just maybe I can finish all of the samples sized, deluxe and foils. That might be my year end goal.

S is for summer Friday and soothing (possibly - I think the sheet mask said that haha) 

Spoiler

I don’t know what’s going on my my face and entire body has been so dry lately ! 

So I had tried a couple of samples of the summer Friday jet lag mask and had really good results but for some reason, I’m not seeing the same results with the bigger size. At first I thought I just wasn’t using enough but I tried again today and it just made my skin feel weirdly sticky. 

i enjoyed the sheet mask! Very well saturated and hydrating ! 

 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Awe, it's too bad the FS Jet Lag isn't working out too well for you!  I personally wasn't a fan of it, and returned it after the first couple uses....... maybe I should hunt down a sample to try and see if I like that better 😂😉

[pinyo]

@Kim888  Ooooo How’s the aloe sheet mask serum? I’ve been wanting to try this one. Is it a clear watery serum like the other ones from them? 

[Kim888]

@pinyo yes - it was a clear serum and super saturated. Definitely worth a try!

[ShortErica]

Oh that's a bummer that your experience with the samples is different than the full size @Kim888. Could it be a change of seasons? Hopefully you can get it to work okay or maybe return it. Sticky skin isn't too appealing.
