💕😌 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💗

@WinglessOne That's disappointing - I feel like I have had weirdly high expectations when I've seen this mask floating around as well. It's hard with a sheet mask - you want instant results - not something you have to use for weeks to see 

[WinglessOne]

@Kim888 Right? If I wanted a serious longterm results commitment with a mask serum, I'd skip the mask part and just buy the bottled serum. 😄 

[sonnydee]

hahahha😂 I thought the same thing about this week's letters F and U and also my mask last night. this is a good week to use your one-offs bin😉@WinglessOne

[WinglessOne]

@sonnydee Hopefully I'll find a Fabulous Underrated mask in my one-offs for this week's theme, instead of another F U mask. 🤣

[sonnydee]

Hopefully 🤞@WinglessOne

@WinglessOne  It's too bad this one was unimpressive! I have a couple "Time Revolution" masks to try sometime, but now I kinda feel a little less excited about getting to them. Glad you only had the one! I still have packs of 10 that I wish I had never bought! 😬

[WinglessOne]

@Shosh85 Aw, maybe you'll have better luck with your Time Revolution masks than I did with this one! I remember seeing a Time Revolution Night Somethingorother variety somewhere, but I don't have that one. Anyway, here's hoping Time Revolution works better for you than it did for me! 

Unusable 5- or 10-packs are the danger (for me) of buying at TJM/Marshalls. I've given away so many masks from boxes I bought in-store. When I find someone who likes a mask that didn't work for me, that person usually gets any of that mask I have left. 😄 

[Shosh85]

@WinglessOne  Yup, I have the Night Repair Probio Ampoule Mask and the Artemisia Jelly Mask. The Night Repair one is what I'm most excited to try - I thought "probio" sounded good (even though I have no idea what the skincare benefits are, haha!.... I guess it's time to Google 😉) Plus the packaging looked pretty, and that always lures me in 😬😉

@WinglessOne Great review of mask.  I totally understand what you mean regarding high expectations of products or food only to be let down after trying it.  Well at least you were able to identify a few benefits of the mask.  Your product reviews are fabulous! 

[WinglessOne]

Aw, thanks @tjffc ! 

[itsfi]

Oh. It’s too bad this one didn’t meet your expectations @WinglessOne. 😞 79-80 points isn’t terrible but it’s certainly a disappointment when your expecting something more in the mid-80 to 90s range. Good for you then that you only had one of these, and not a box of 10!! 

[WinglessOne]

@itsfi I really did think this mask would be at least an 88, even with those 2 yucky ingredients. Oh well! 

[sonnydee]

This pops up in just about every Ulta gwp bag so I wanted to try it & fit the theme for the week

Fit? Its a mud mask, its gray, dries & gets tight but you only notice if you really open your mouth wide (like a yawn) but i also left this on longer. I left it on for 6 min instead of 2

Smell?faint, like a herbal mud. Not bad & I had to really try to be able to sniff the scent

Consistency? Creamy clay but only spreads ok. It asks for a generous layer & i used the entire sample..not sure if a brush or applicator will make it easier 

Ease of use?ok after I got it all on. The generous layer is probably to help with the removal & i guess i wasn't generous enough🤷. I used a cloth & still had to almost scrub to get this mask off. The good thing is it doesnt strip your skin..

Would I  purchase/try again?....my skin doesnt feel detoxified or fresh, if anything it felt like it left a bit of a residue. Not deeply clean like it promises. But it pops up on the reg so I can always try again leaving it on for 2 min...😒 ( smiley face is rolling its eyes. I don't like masking for such a short amount of time) i think you can get the same effect by just washing your face👽👽

[lmaster]

Ewww @sonnydee we don't want any residue now 😆

[Kim888]

@sonnydee Thanks for sharing! I feel like everything I have tried from this brand is akin to your review - it's all fine but nothing is mind blowing 

[sonnydee]

Alot of their stuff I have tried is also heavily perfumed. But their hand cream is pretty good🤗@Kim888 

[tjffc]

@sonnydee Thank you for the review of this mask.  Its great to read thorough feedback from other customers prior to trying products.

[sonnydee]

😉 anytime. I was hoping this mask would be good-it has good reviews 🤷@tjffc

[WinglessOne]

@sonnydee Thank you for trying this mask! I have a couple of those samples (thanks a lot, Ulta) but haven't used them; haven't even looked up the ingredients for this mask yet. Your review tells me I'm not missing much. 🤣

[sonnydee]

no, not missing much except for some frustration over a meh...mud mask that doesnot deliver what it promises..@WinglessOne oh well, more room now for other better masks

[itsfi]

@sonnydee, your review has me chuckling. For this round, just washing your face, 1; free gwp Ahava mud mask, 0. 😆 Perhaps just leaving the mask on for just 2 minutes will make all the difference... 🤪😂🤣😂
