hahaha, all this skincare talk is giving me guilt cause bo tonly did I not mask but I fell asleep in my makeup last night. I feel like Iโve committed a cardinal sin! Okay I confessed ๐ Iโll do better tonight. @missjeanie@eshoe @Shosh85 @cianni
@heartsmyface LOL youโre too cute haha! Happens to the best of us!! In college Iโd fall asleep with FAKE LASHES on ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ Youโre so lucky you never would breakout!
@heartsmyface Haha! You are adorable! I'm sure most of us have committed some kind of beauty-related cardinal sin! It does feel better to confess though! ๐ I honestly don't know how I slept in my clothes and makeup ALL the time when I was a teenager! I definitely must be getting old, because the first thing I want to do when I come home now is put on PJ's and take off my makeup ๐
@Shosh85 Oh my gosh I used to do that too! I used to hate seeing myself au naturel! Somehow I managed to do it without ever breaking out too! Go figure!
๐ฑ @heartsmyface Iโve only done it a thousand times in my life, Iโm pretty sure of it๐
lol @heartsmyfaceI'm sure the beauty gods forgive you! lol we've all done it before!
@missjeanie LOL I kinda cheat at it haha. I wake up, do my pre-mask skincare, then put the mask on and go back to bed, and watched a Netflix show or something for half an hour, and then โwoke upโ at my normal time ๐๐
Glad to hear this worked out for you, @cianni!
I just want to say thank you to all the maskers who make BIC so much fun! You all have no idea how much I appreciate the posts, comments, pics, and masking adventures we all share. You are the best, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have so many belly laughs, weird food cravings, and gross ingredient encounters (still my favorite week). โค๏ธ all of you, Happy International Women's Day!!!
Survey will be up until Sunday to give more people a chance to answer 's ? - this is the biggest response we've had yet so I'm really excited to share the results.
Yesterday's AM masking:
PM Masking:
The Je:ju wash off mask sounds so interesting @eshoe! Do you think washing the mask off in the shower ๐ฟ would make it easier to take off?
Ack! That Prreti mask does not sound fun at all! So sorry about the smell; scent can make a masking session enjoyable and relaxing or it can make you want to rip the mask off immediately.
Thank you to you eshoe, @Aaliaa and everyone on this thread and the previous one. ๐ค๐ค Masking regularly, with wash off masks or sheet masks, has been really good for my skin, and laughing and learning about masks with everyone here has been such a joy and something I look forward to after a long day of work! โฅ๏ธ
Laughter is the best medicine @itsfi, and this thread has provided plenty of it๐ The side-effects are a nice bonus I will happily accept:)
ps yes I will take that mask in-shower next time (is there a fancy way to say that lol?)
I did the survey and now I am having doubts about my answer. Itโs not a black and white question. ๐. It makes it hard to answer without a comment section! @eshoe
I was afraid of that @heartsmyface of the "grey area" but didn't want to make it to complicated so think of it has the majority of the time my skin likes/prefers/responds better to.....thank you @eshoe for all your hard work on this thread & the surveys๐
Good point @heartsmyface. I can easily add a comments section. If you want to PM me your response I can delete it and you do it again:) I donโt see BIC names associated with answers otherwise I would just do that๐ค
@eshoe I have loved all the Sephora balms and scrubs โ though I'd have to say the honey is my favorite! ๐ Glad you've enjoyed them!
Its too bad about the strong scent in the Prreti mask! The ingredients sound so good! I'm pretty sure I couldn't do this one either.
The Je:Ju mask sounds so great! These are the types of masks I like to jump in the shower and wash off โ definitely less of a mess that way! Happy you liked this one! ๐
You do SO much on this thread and I am so appreciative of you!! This is such a fun thread! ๐โค๏ธ
@eshoe Yeah, at Target there seems to be more online than in-store for sure!
I was planning on making an Ulta run next week and now I'm even more excited! ๐๐
@Shosh85 I have been waiting for this day for so long๐ though they didnโt have the Rose capsule or the Aurora, I made sure to find the manager to share how much I appreciate having these masks available in store. He said they have only been there 6 days and no one else has commented yet, so I told him which ones I think are good. They would be SO nice to buy this way instead trying to fill up an online cart๐
This is making me so excited to get to an Ulta store @eshoe !! It's been way too long! So many pretty masks!
There was even more than in the picture @missjeani, looked like the entire Oh!K line. Hoping they stock Dearpacker in-store soon as well. I never use the $3.50 off coupons because itโs just not worth it/donโt need anything. But this is SO nice!
@eshoeI'm not positive but I believe the Oh!k is stocked at my drugstore. I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm there.
