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

Spoiler
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 Somervilleโ€™s Liquid ExfoliKate) before a detox mask to better clear out your pores

Miamia27

Re-use a large sample jar for a blank sheet mask pellet and fill it with essence/toner

Itsfi

Use a nail clippers to trip a mask if scissors are not on hand

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oooooo @missjeanie that looks like a bit of chemical burn, be careful when putting your feet in hot water, they will be sensitive for a bit if it is a burn. Yikes! Do you have an aloe mask, or a soothing mask you could put some of the serum on those areas to help heal it

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster , see... good thing I set an alarm! They actually feel fine today, a smidge of red just around a my ankles, Im guessing due to thinner skin. Aloe is a great idea though! Tonight I wrap my ankles in aloe sheet masks!!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I hope it doesn't get any worse @missjeanie oooo you know what else might be good to put in it,, the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask 5 oz

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Even better idea @lmaster !! That giant tub I have will go bad before I can use it all anyhow! 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh no!!! Hope it doesn't become super itchy. ๐Ÿ˜ž  I know it gets messy and when it really started peeling I worked at it to remove all the dead skin in one go. It was gross but I had soft feet in the end. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ @missjeanie 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I did one peel earlier this year and was strangely obsessed with checking on the peel once it started @veronika23 , but it didnโ€™t itch the way this was earlier. Thankfully  it hasnโ€™t been itching much the last 6 hours or so. The instructions on this brand said an hour and I def over did that. Fingers crossed I donโ€™t need mittens in my sleep lol!!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh oh ok. This is the brand I used. I hope it stays that way and doesn't start itching like crazy. @missjeanie 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@missjeanie I can't wait to see how long it takes before peeling starts ๐Ÿ˜†

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

W is for "Wake me up!" and a BIC K-beauty fave

12.5.19 (AM).JPG

Got up early to pack and catch a flight โ€“ I really should have done it last night but was exhausted by the time I got in. Made a quick run to grab some coffee and thought Iโ€™d pair it with The Crรจme Shop Cafรฉ Mocha Fusion Sheet Mask, an oldie but goodie among a few of the maskers here, including myself. Adherence was good and a few adjustments to the chin/jawline and corners of the eyes, nose and mouth did the trick for fit. I left the mask on for 30 minutes and was rewarded with hydrated skin and a light glow from within. (Magnet courtesy of the fabulous @veronika23!)

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi  I love that Creme Shop mask! I smells so good to me! It's one of the few masks with alcohol I will always continue purchase! Happy to hear you've enjoyed this one as well! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ™Œโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿซ

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 this one smells so nice. โ˜•๏ธ That says A LOT about this mask if it will always be a repeat repurchase for you despite the alcohol! ๐Ÿคฉ

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Ohh the one sheet mask that keeps eluding me! I've seen pretty much all of them at winners/marshalls but this one. I'm not giving up though! ๐Ÿ˜„ @itsfi 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Donโ€™t give up @veronika23. It WILL be yours!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes it will!!!! ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„  @itsfi 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi  haha super cute magnet ๐Ÿ™‚ Sounds like a great fusion mask from TCS. These are really lovely and even better cuz they yield pretty great results. Safe travels.

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you @GalPalVal17! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Arrived safely and hit the ground running with work. Just got back to the hotel and am eyeing my masks and wondering what will be on the menu for tonight... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

That magnet is perfect in its simplicity @itsfi . I miss my coffee flavours masks. Might need to do a full coffee theme here someday soon! Iโ€™ll bet this one was perfect to go with your coffee so early in the morning! 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh yes!!! Dooooo it @missjeanie!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ A full coffee theme masking sesh would be amazing! โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’•

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi that magnet is my life ๐Ÿ˜‚ @veronika23 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hahahaha I feel you!!! @lmaster 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!
