๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ 2024 Masking Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

6ADE6F2B-300D-4DE5-8A89-DEBA0CC45743.gif

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!


March Madness
 - Competition is in the air. Find a worthy dupe of a ๐Ÿ’ฐmask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!

Spoiler
JanuaryFresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
FebruaryWinter 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.
MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.
JuneSummer 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 masks๐Ÿ’—

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@ather  Yup, it's hard to beat a cute mask with great results! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

This one is so cute, @Shosh85! Any time I see cica on a mask, it is an easy toss into the cart ๐Ÿ˜„ Pretty sure that I have this one in my stash I think I may use it tonight, I think my family needs a good laugh, ha!  

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe  Yup, same here - I definitely have a weakness for anything with Cica! This is such a great one - definitely perfect for some family entertainment! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿฏ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I love this mask @Shosh85! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š The tiger is super cute ๐Ÿฏ and the mask just performs so well! I go back and forth whether this is my favorite of The Creme Shop masks or if itโ€™s the the masquerade eye masks (the eye masks that cover 3/4 of your face)! ๐Ÿค” 

 

Out of curiosity, have you tried any of TCS skincare products from this Cica line? 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi  Oh yes, those masquerade eye masks are wonderful- I really love the caffeine one! ๐Ÿ˜

 

From the Cica-mend line, I've also tried the toner and serum. They both felt refreshing and smelled nice, but that was about it. Have you tried anything else from this line?

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85, I picked up the serum pre-pandemic at Marshalls, which means there's a pretty good chance I picked up the toner as well. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I haven't used it yet; sounds like it will be better in the peak of summer. I didn't have any expectations that it would be a game changer for me, which your experience confirms. Good to know as I start thinking about my warm weather skincare routine.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Yesterday was my birthday so I went all out masking lol.

I really love the fruit mask, my face looked great. Even though the nose area started to dry out while using it. The foot and hands were ok, the definitely worked but during the night it still felt like the serum and stuff wouldn't soak in just stayed on top. Hair mask and lip mask were no. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Happy belated birthday, @Samtian โค๏ธ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Happy birthday again!!! ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฅณ @Samtian I was immediately drawn to the fruit mask!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Samtian  Happy belated birthday!!! Love that you did a mask day!!! Sorry not all of them were winners. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

The Creme Shop Tidy Up, Skin is a medium thick cotton sheet mask that is drenched in a clear, lightly floral, ever so slightly herbal scented essence. I was a little nervous this mask would carry a heavy tea tree oil scent but that was (thankfully) not the case. Adherence is good, and fit can be made to work with a few snips here and there. For purposes of keeping the mask intact to show off its cuteness, I didn't use my scissors on the extra length, but did make a few small incisions to the inner corner of the eyes to help the mask lie flat against my skin and to maneuver the material so as to not have it hovering so closing to my tear ducts. 
 
There's the slightest tackiness after an half hour of wear; not a deal breaker for me since I continue on with the rest of my skincare routine and the tacky-to-the-touch feeling becomes a non-issue. My complexion looks dewy, brightened, with some redness around my nose and cheeks looking less red, and my skin feels soothed and hydrated.  That said, I'm not sure whether the ingredients listed for this mask are right. I don't see anything to suggest that it includes the tea tree it claims to be infused with.

A Tidy Up Skin mask sounds just about right, @itsfi. It's one of the cutest I've seen, too. Nice work, Creme Shop!
