💕😌 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?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@itsfi   This is one of the few printed masks I can’t get enough of!  The scent sends me to my happy place. I didn’t bother with a review cause I figured everyone here s fairly familiar with it.   I’ll be sad when they’re all gone but know there will be many new and fabulous masks to fill the void.  
The tea set is from Omotesando Tokyo.  I use the petit four tower for makeup in my beauty room.  😜

 

The tea is REALLY good!! It’s more a dessert than it is a tea.  It comes in powder form and you just add water.  A typical bone china cup and saucer is the perfect size so no measuring required.  I definitely recommend and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!  I love milk tea in general but this flavour is just wonderful!  
where do you typically buy your teas from?  This one I found on SugoiMart.  

[itsfi]

I love how you're using that petit four tower @heartsmyface! Adorable and creative! 💖

This is the first I've heard of that milk tea flavor but I will be giving it a try. Pre-covid, I would get teas from various tea shops in the city. There's a couple of places in the city that sell Japanese teas, including a small shop that is conveniently located next to a yummy ramen restaurant and 4 doors down from the boutique that had a selection of sheet masks and Kbeauty makeup. Super convenient. 😍 Otherwise, I've picked up some teas online at yamibuy (dot) com - they stock certain products but also have a marketplace set up similar to amazon, so you just have to be careful that you are buying from the same store or shipping can add up, as some of the stores are located in Japan. Oh, I just went onto the SugoiMart site and it looks like I can already tell I'm going to have fun there! Thank you!! 😁

Last night my mask was the Royal Jelly + Cherry Blossom Essence Mask. It definitely smelt like fake cherry blossoms. But my skin looks nice when I woke up. I have like 3-4 more of these to use up next. I really love the artwork. 

[lmaster]

I've loved this line of masks and there are a few varieties too @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@lmaster I'm going to have to keep an eye out for more.

[haleyvvvv]

This is gorgeous packaging!! Glad the mask worked well, @Samtian!! 

[Samtian]

@haleyvvvv Thank you! me too!

[ShortErica]

I've got some of these lined up to try later this year @Samtian. I look forward to reading your thoughts on the others so I can set expectations for it. I find the artwork very pleasing too! 🙂

[Samtian]

@ShortErica I can't wait to hear your thoughts! This is the only one I have from them. 

[ShortErica]

Oh, I misunderstood @Samtian and thought you had other versions and not others of this same mask. I've received some in unicorn mail and have spotted various ones at TJ Maxx/Marshalls (pre-covid of course). I read a blog featuring them a while ago and the heavy scents described made me put them on the backburner for a bit.

[Samtian]

@ShortErica I wish! Nope I just found this 5 pack at TJ Maxx. It is pretty heavy scented.

[ShortErica]

At least you got some good results @Samtian! TJ Maxx spoils us with their prices.

[Samtian]

@ShortErica That is for sure!

[Shosh85]

@Samtian  That's great to hear your skin liked this one! I agree, all the masks in this line have such great artwork! 😃

[Samtian]

@Shosh85 Thank you, yes they do!

[eshoe]

Love that your skin responded favorably to this mask, @Samtian! And a fake cherry scent is better than a real lemon cleaner scent any day 😄

[Samtian]

@eshoe Haha I definitely can't argue that.

[itsfi]

The artwork on this line of masks is beautiful @Samtian. 😍 That it includes a sheet mask in it feels like a gift within a gift! 💝 Happy to hear this one gave you good results, especially since you have more to use up! 😉

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you! Me too. 

[heartsmyface]

@Samtian  The art on that is gorgeous! Nice that they’re having a good effect on your skin!  

[Samtian]

@heartsmyface Thank you! My fivehead was pretty red but that was about it.
