💕😌 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💗

Love both of these masks @quspork  you're bang on in that they help you get into the fall mood!

[ShortErica]

Thanks for the comparison @quspork! I had the PTR ready for this week but it is still way too hot for me to be in a fall mood. Hopefully by November/December 🤣

[Shosh85]

@quspork  Yumm! Love this comparison! These both are favorites of mine as well and I definitely agree both have delicious scents! I feel like your conclusion of these is spot on - the PTR seems more for function and the SF seems more like a gentle exfoliating spa mask 👌 Happy to hear both masks are ones you enjoy! 😃

[quspork]

I'm glad to hear you love them both as well, @Shosh85! They're both good masks, and with those scents... cherries on top of the ice cream sundaes.

Mmmmm.... pumpkin!! Love your breakdown of these masks @quspork! I like them both, though I’m torn on whether I would repurchase both at the same time when I get through the full sizes I have. 

[quspork]

I can definitely understand not needing to have both on hand at the same, @itsfi. In fact, I still have several of the PTR travel and trial sizes to get thru before I even think about buying the full-size again haha!

[itsfi]

@quspork, I have full sizes of the pumpkin masks from PTR, Summer Fridays and Eminence so I really don’t need to have any more on hand at the moment. Hahaha! how I managed to have them all at the same time, I don’t know. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I guess I’m very ready for fall as far as pumpkin wash off masks are concerned. 😆 Another reminder that I need to work harder on editing how many products I have open at one time. Forever a work in progress. 😃

Idk what everyone's opinion was on this particular version,,, but I can say I wasn't very impressed 😣 it's a thicker white sheet,, it definitely would need snipped in areas to stay adhered, but it also felt very dry and not saturated with serum. The scent was nice and fruity. I did leave it on for 15 minutes, I went ahead and just used the extra serum in the packet and massaged that into my skin. It did feel toned and a touch softer but that's about it. Glad i tried it, but not a repurchase

[ShortErica]

Boo @lmaster! Have you found that the different varieties have different mask material/thickness?

[lmaster]

I feel like some of the ones I've tried have not been absorbing the serum as well as others, so that might be the reason why this one was rough and dry 🤷 @ShortErica 

[quspork]

It's a shame this one was more lackluster, @lmaster. 

[lmaster]

@quspork I know!! I was super bummed because it does smell good and the results using just the serum was decent

[WinglessOne]

@lmaster I bought this one but haven't tried it yet. It'll be interesting to see if mine's also not well saturated. Sorry it didn't work well for you! 

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne I even massaged the sleeve before opening, I've noticed it's been 50/50 with these,, either I love them or 🙄

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Sorry this one was unimpressive! Definitely sounds like a "meh" experience. I bought the eye mask version of this one, so hopefully those turn out a little better! 🤞

[lmaster]

I was really bummed about the sheet, the serum is nice if you just apply it directly to your face @Shosh85 but the sheet was not working for me at all!!

[itsfi]

Hmmm ... thicker sheet?! That’s very good to know @lmaster. I haven’t been inclined to pick this one up for some reason. Knowing it’s a thicker sheet mask makes me even less interested in trying it out. Sorry to hear this one didn’t meet your expectations. 😔 

[lmaster]

It was thick and rough! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Alright. That does it. Pass. 

It was rough @lmaster? That doesn’t sound good at all. I keep thinking “well, she said it smells fruity. There’s ... that.” 😐

This sounds like an example of anti-enable-gate. Thank you for that, too! 😝 

[lmaster]

@itsfi seriously fruity was the only wonderful trait from this mask

[lmaster]

P is for purple

This papa recipe mask was gifted to me from the kind hearted @WinglessOne it's a highly saturated sheet with clear serum that smells so fruity and delicious!! Fit is decent for me tons of extra serum! Wear time was 20 minutes and my skin felt extremely hydrated and moisturized and felt so good!! I hope to see these again in Marshalls!!
