Mask of the Week Challenge!

[Aaliaa]

Hello Lovelies! As we make our resolutions and check them twice, I thought we could start a skincare version of the Weekly Challenge. Many of us wanted to use more masks, shop our stash and focus on our Skin so hopefully this thread will be an inspiration to do just that. Join us with pictures and comments down below.

Masking Spreadsheet Info

Spoiler

Hello every, @eshoe and I are very happy to present the BIC Masking Challenge Spreadsheet. The idea is to have an easily searchable database of masks and reviews as a reference point when we are considering our next purchase. Data integrity was important to us so instead of everyone inputing data directly into the spreadsheet where theoretically information could be deleted or edited we have the questionnaire. It should take no longer then 1-2 minutes with the option for a more detailed review (which you can copy from your post on this thread).

Remember the idea is not to replace this thread. I personally love reading, commenting and interacting with all you amazing women here and that shouldn’t change. This would just be on top of that. Hopefully the more people that partake in this, the larger database of information we’ll have for reference. It will be extra effort in the beginning but then we would only need to input any new mask we’ve tried.

Additional Info:

Since we aren’t allowed to post links, please PM or myself for it. You will also find this information on the original post so you don’t need a database to search for this post!

 Incase you need some help to filter/search results, try this :-

Search Specific Word or Phrase —> Edit -> Find and Replace -> Search Word

Filter/Organize by Columns --> Data -> Create a Filter -> Select Options
 

There are 2 ways to edit a response: 

1) Once you have completed a survey, click on the "Edit Your Response" link on that page. Once this page is closed, the only way to make a change is to:

2) PM @Aaliaa or @eshoe to make the change directly in the response spreadsheet

Thanks @eshoe for putting this together!

 Rules

Spoiler

Each week there will be a new Masking Challenge posted. It will range from type of mask, brand specific week or fun challenges along the way.

Choose mask, take picture (with mask on or before), place mask on face, relax and dream of the next Sephora purchase you want to make, remove mask for healthier skin.

Have Fun!!

P.S. If you have any suggestions or challenge recommendations feel free to message me and I'll add them to the list.

Is anyone else trialing the FOREO - UFO™ device? I am incredibly spoiled and was gifted this from a co-worker (I can't even...) and wanted to hear thoughts from others who have used it. I love how quick and easy it is to use this device but wanted to hear any tips from you all who use the app.

Sorry I’m kind of late in posting last week’s masking! Thursday’s masking: I used the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 oz

for gentle physical and chemical exfoliation. BTW this is my favorite of all the PTR masks! It smells like pumpkin pie. After massaging my face with minimal pressure to avoid microtearing my skin and leaving it on for 7 minutes, I rinsed it off and patted my skin dry. ( grade A ). I followed up by using the Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx™ Exfoliating Peel Gel 3.4 oz/ 100 mL

which contains keratinase which is an exfoliating enzyme. ( Grade A++ ). This time it removed so many dead skin cells due to the fact that I used the DE Sukari babyfacial earlier in the week. Before retiring for the night, I applied the Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks 6 x Eye Masks

Grade A+ which are soaked in serum but are very delicate to manipulate and can easily tear. The serum contains peptides ( ❤️❤️❤️ peptides! ) and great ingredients. I removed them in the middle of the night and returned to my comfy bed and cuddled with my cat Kauai. I also made a kind of DYI hand mask. First I applied the CAUDALIE - Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

DS sample which I can’t wait to finish.... Then I mixed 2 drops of TO plant derived squalene with the La Roche Posay Lipikar Xerand Hand Cream and applied this mix everywhere on my hands, fingers and nails. To seal in the moisture I then applied a fine layer of the Hylamide HA Blur. Woke up with well rested eyes, no crow’s feet, soft/nourished hands and less brittle nails. ( my nails crack easily when it’s cold and dry outside even if I wear warm gloves )

@keana1 I LOVE YOUR HEADBAND! It is so cute! 

Best,

Rebecca

[keana1]

Thanks @RebeccaBT 😉 ! It was a gift from the wonderful @eshoe ! 

[RebeccaBT]

@keana1 What a great gift! I will have to get my hands on one. It would be perfect when I wash my face or do my makeup.  

[lmaster]

I love your headband!! you look adorable!! @keana1 😉

[keana1]

You’re so sweet @lmaster ! I look tired in the picture, I took it at 3:30 am! The worst part is that I fell asleep about 3 hours later... ! 

[lmaster]

Oh wow @keana1  I don't think I could stay up that late anymore 😎

[keana1]

I also wish that I couldn’t stay up in the wee hours of the morning @lmaster ! I’m having a bad case of insomnia! This is how I feel like when I try to sleep 😳😳😳 !

[lmaster]

@keana1 have you tried taking a hot bath when you can't sleep?

[keana1]

I took one last night @lmaster ! It felt sooo good but I fell asleep about 2 hours later! Which could have been worse! 

[lmaster]

Oh my gosh @keana1  I would pass out at soon as I got out, so sorry 😮
