Mask of the Week Misc. Info & Previous Year's Links:

To Post:
Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.

Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

Mask Hacks - Here are a few to get started thanks to our lovely BIC-ers, a big thank you for these fabulous ideas!
Spoiler

Trim off long chin and add to forehead for sheet masks

itsfi

Squeeze tube lip balms (like Bite) into pans and place in magnetic palette

sonnydee

Layer lip sleeping mask (such as Laneige) over regular balm

cianni

Derma plane prior to a peel-off mask to ease the pain of removal

heartsmyface

Warm water helps remove clay masks quicker than cold

cianni

Lay sheet masks flat prior to use so the serum is more evenly distributed 

eshoe 

Remove clay/difficult masks in the shower to keep towel clean and removal easy

itsfi/BIC

Use an HA serum prior to trying a mask with alcohol high on the ingredients list

keana1

Use a Makeup Eraser to remove wash-off masks

lmaster

With a detox mask, apply a thicker layer where pores are

Ather

Use a resurfacing exfoliating spray (such as Kate Somerville’s Liquid ExfoliKate) before a detox mask to better clear out your pores

Miamia27

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I thought my web cam was covered???? lol @itsfi 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I do not know if you saw that an ABC reporter broadcasted his segment without his pants on national TV @missjeanie . Eating popcorn is nothing compared to that blunder!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I honestly have nightmares about something like this @Loretta55 !  I actually have a post it over my camera as much as possible, and luckily most of my meetings have an understanding where we all have camera's off.  Could you imagine the embarrassment!  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hahahaha! 😂🤣😂 Don’t worry about it @missjeanie! It happens a lot now that so many of us are home. 😝 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi So true!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

T is for Travel ..... travel? ...what's that?😅

Thanks to the lovely @Kim888 for gifting me this one!

Peach Slices Travel Sheet Mask

This is a thin cotton sheet mask that was saturated with plenty of serum. It had a light, sort of herbal kind of scent, that was barely noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was a bit wonky - the eye holes were too big which made it too wide by the temples and because the mouth hole was too big my entire chin was exposed. Once I smooshed the mouth and eye holes down to the right size it all fit better. It adhered very well despite all the smooshing and was comfortable to wear the 30 minutes I had it on. When I removed it I massaged in the slightly tacky serum and it all absorbed in about 5 minutes. My face looked less dull/more awake and my skin felt comfortably hydrated and was soft and smooth.

This one was great and is one I'd love to purchase more of soon! 😃

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85, this one sounds wonderful! 😍 I picked one up before we were all staying at home, with the idea that I would take it with me on my next trip. I didn’t realize then how far away that might be. 😆 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi  I really liked this one! I'm not sure how many there are in this line, but out of the 4 I've tried, this and the Brighten/Yuzu are my favorites. Have you tried any masks from this line?

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85, I’ve tried the hydrate one, the firm one and the brightening (yuzu) one. All were good but the brightening one is also my favorite! ♥️

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Travel??? lol I hope we're all allowed to travel safely again soon and you can travel somewhere to grab more of this mask!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@missjeanie  One of the few places I've been traveling to is Target and they sell these there, so there's that 😅 I really miss traveling to TJ Maxx though 😢

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I miss both @Shosh85 !  I took for granted my ability to cross the boarder anytime and shop in both the US and Canada!  I'm feeling so stifled by Canadian Amazon and International shipping rates!  My mailbox in the US is gotta be a joke for the guys there... eventually I'll get it all lol!  I'm super glad that these are easier for you to get though, having a Target open nearby would make things way easier shopping wise!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 I like these too, happy to see it's a winner for you!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster  Peach Slices is such a great brand in general! Have you tried the brightening one from this line? I love that one😉

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 I think I have,,,I know I have it 🤦😆

2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

T for Tones. Ohhhhhh so good, [I ordered more immediately with 50% coupon off of course😘] Fit? almost perfect, lil extra in the chin area Smell? like kiwi & raspberry had a baby. don't know why but it smells great Consistency? i left this on for about 30 min, the serum is on the thicker side so i was a bit tacky Ease of use? no worries, able to multitask Would I  purchase/try again? already did 💚💚💚💚💚 [not 6 due to tackiness but maybe my skin wasn't as thirsty as I thought]

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

mmmmm raspberry and kiwi baby scented!! @sonnydee Glad you were able to get more of this delight!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@sonnydee  I'm so happy to hear that both you and @lmaster like this one! I stocked up on the set of 3 with the 60% off deal! 👍Hopefully the other two are just as good! 😉

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Approved by @sonnydee and @lmaster? ♥️ My skin is soooo looking forward to this mask. 🤩 Given the slight tack to this one, I might use it in the morning as part of makeup prep. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I loved this one too!! @sonnydee yaaaaaaay!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yay! Glad to hear you like this one, @sonnydee. I *just* got an order of new Biobelles in this week that includes this one so I'm excited to try it out.
