💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

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?

@heartsmyface I had to look up natty to see if it was short for annatto, but nope - something new! This one sounds beautiful ❤️

[lmaster]

@heartsmyface nice!! The packaging is visually appealing and looks like it fits wonderfully!! Results too... 😊🙌

[quspork]

This one sounds really nice, @heartsmyface! You're right, so many Mediheals really hit the spot. I picked up the pro-jelly from the Meience line a little bit ago and can't wait to try it. 

[itsfi]

I need this mask @heartsmyface! Making a note now. This one sounds fabulous! 😍 There are very few Mediheal sheet masks that have been fails for me. I have a natto sheet mask set aside for later this week; hoping it will give similar results. 🤞

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  yeah you do!  I’ll put my seal of approval on it;).
ouhhh, I hope so!   i can’t wait to hear if yours is equally as sticky!  It delivered and settled down on its own so I really don’t mind.  

[itsfi]

Exactly @heartsmyface! 👊🏼 I actually made a note off to the side that says “hearts approved”. ♥️ Good to know stickiness should be expected  - that does make sense with natto being a key ingredient. I’ll be sure to use the natto one in the evening, when I have more time to wait for the sticky to settle down. 

[missjeanie]

Well dang if this doesn't sound delightful @heartsmyface !  Glad you found a winner!

[heartsmyface]

@missjeanie   It was!  I was half expecting it to smell gross based off the photo but it wasn’t at all.     

[PrettyPaint]

@heartsmyface  That looks like a great one! I had not heard of nattogum before. The results sound really nice, and I love a mask that stays put. 

[heartsmyface]

@PrettyPaint   I didnt think we’d had it either cause I thought I would remember something looking like that photo, but according to D, we have it all the time in our miso soup and with kimchi.  🤷‍♀️  

[itsfi]

Others here have used this A'Pieu Chi Ka Po Ka Toothbrushing Mask before, but it's a N for new mask for me that also meets @l8totheparty's mask while you task theme for the week.

This soft, pliable black bamboo charcoal sheet mask is saturated but not dripping in a clear, slightly viscous, clean scented, liquid essence. The A'Pieu Chi Ka Po Ka Toothbrushing Mask feels cooling against the skin and adheres beautifully to the top portion of the face, allowing you to do things like eat, drink, brush your teeth, etc. A fitting mask for mask-while-you-task week. Twenty minutes with this mask left my skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated and my complexion looking clear and brightened. This is one that would be nice to have around and I'm hoping it doesn't get discontinued as part of the A'Pieu "revamping". 

[lmaster]

@itsfi oh my gosh!! I have used one like this a few years ago,, super cute packaging

[itsfi]

The packaging is a lot of fun @lmaster! The mask is all about how we can brush our teeth while masking, but many of us here are all about how it allows us to eat! 😆 I love that we think this way! 🥰

[Kim888]

@itsfi @Wow how interesting ! I do think it’s a good idea! Sometimes I want to drink coffee or something while I mask 

[itsfi]

@Kim888, this one is definitely practical! 😃

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Ha there is quite literally a mask for everything!   

[itsfi]

Yes there is @heartsmyface! I didn’t know I needed a mask like this until I actually used this one. 😂 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  I find this one extra amusing cause I have been known to fold my face mask upward in half so I can eat something and then pull it back down.    This solves that.  

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, lol! Love that you fold your masks upwards in half to get in some snack time! I also love that it’s eating that a few of us here find this mask will be most useful for! @Shosh85 @missjeanie ♥️

[missjeanie]

@itsfi @Shosh85 @heartsmyface I may or may not have done a chin flip to facilitate easier snacking once or twice... no confirmation though lol

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi  Whoa - this is the first time I have seen this toothbrushing mask, and oh so cool! I spy that cocofloss and approve (I am very, very picky about my floss).
