💕😌 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 💮

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💗

@eshoe  Great mask and minions is there a better duo. I don’t think so!!! Hmmm that’s to bad this mask was so troubling because of the results. I wonder if you could pull some of the essence out before applying the mask and apply the essence after. Nothing worse then essence running into your eyes. 

[eshoe]

If the essence was more appealing, @ather - I would certainly give it another go with a DIY sheet! Some packets get discarded with a lot of serum remaining; this unfortunately was one of them.

But YES to the Minions hair mask! Such a sweet little unexpected surprise🥰

[itsfi]

@eshoe, this reminds me I have the hibiscus mask from this line still to try; the hairspray scent serves as a good warning, thank you. Not sure my nose is going to like that. I hear "hair spray" and I think Aqua Net from my youth.

[ather]

@itsfi  Omg yes that’s exactly what I was picturing as well. Good ole aqua net. 

[eshoe]

@itsfi that is exactly the scent I recognized 😄 It wasn’t overpowering, and you may even notice something different, who knows. At one time in my life, I grew hibiscus bushes, and I couldn’t detect a scent, despite trying. 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I haven't had a lot of luck with the Tony Moly brand, but this hair mask sounds like it's definitely worth trying! The cute minion packaging is a nice bonus!

The scent on the sheet mask sounds interesting 🤔 Too bad it was such a mess!

[eshoe]

As far as sheet masks go, Tony Moly hasn’t been a hit for me either, @Shosh85. I am glad I took a chance on this, though - it was excellent:)

[lmaster]

Is there extra to where you could "depot" it into an empty moisturizer container? @eshoe 

[eshoe]

There was no extra, @lmaster. I wish! I think someone with thick hair might struggle to squeeze enough out of the package for even one use.

[lmaster]

@eshoe thanks! Good to know

[Samtian]

@eshoe Oooh the way the hair mask smells sounds divine!

[eshoe]

It was amazing, @Samtian. My biggest gripe is that it is truly a one-time use mask. I would have loved to have squeezed a couple used out of it😂

[Kim888]

@eshoe @Oh wow that hair mask sounds amazing ! Disappointing about the smell of the sheet mask! 

[eshoe]

It was, @Kim888! I think you commented on it in my haul last month, I am happy you saw this because I forgot to tag you. 10/10 would use this again.

I is for Ice Cream🍦 

Spoiler

Kokostar Waffle Mask ~ Ice Cream 🍦

Material:

Thickness waffle weaved cotton, that was super comfortable and breathable

Serum:

A sort of thin, milky-jelly serum. The mask was fully saturated and there was also a bunch extra in the pouch.

Scent:

The scent is light and kinda hard to describe - maybe signature sheet mask smell with a hint of sweetness..... after going over the ingredients, I think the sweetness I was smelling is the vanilla that's in it.

Fit:

Just a smidge too wide at the forehead and a little too long at the chin.

Wear Time:

40 minutes

Tack:

Light, and stuck around for about 10 minutes

Results:

Soft and smooth, a little bouncy, comfortably moisturized skin with a nice dewy glow.

Repurchase?

Maybe. The results were about the same as the Honey version I tried from this line, but the Honey one had a much better scent, so I'm just not as excited to repurchase this one. I'd definitely use it again!

[ather]

@Shosh85  Sounds decent. Too bad it wasn’t more sweet smelling. 

[Shosh85]

@ather  It was nice! Definitely wouldn't have minded the sweet scent to be a little stronger! 🍦😋

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, these waffle masks make me hungry! Looking forward to trying them - the gel essence sounds promising. My skin can hardly wait; well, maybe it'll wait until after we have our summer here. 😉 In the meantime, I might have some ice cream in honor of this ice cream waffle sheet mask. 🍦🍨

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  So have the whole line? They've been pretty good so far... definitely a lot of essence in these! I haven't checked to see if they're sold individually, but I'd love to some backups up of the Honey one! 🍯😋

[itsfi]

I think I have the whole line @Shosh85. There are 5 different varieties? Blueberry, strawberry, maple, honey and ice cream? 

You can purchase the individual flavors directly from Kocostar’s site.

Hey a little sweet scent does sound good though 😋 @Shosh85
