Mask of the Week Challenge!

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.

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

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.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I don't think I'll need to purchase a full size @fieldsofclover for quite some time. I have several mini's of this mask that I've received as part of a gift set, promo or subscription box.

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

The fresh masks are always so good! Happy masking

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Ooooh, @bakeamuffin, the Fresh Rose mask is a great way to start off the new year.  Happy 2018!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

They’re great! Thanks @Anonymous happy new year! ☺️☺️

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin Happy New Year.  When going through my stash for this challenge I found a few foils of this mask.  I'm going to give it a try this week.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you @mishanyc! Happy new year to you too 😄 I hope you enjoy the mask! It’s gentle and feels so nice!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Happy New Year Everyone!! I decided to forgo all NYE plans to stay in and stay warm! I decided to kick of the masking challenge a little early using a new favourite Sheet mask (I get mine from Winners) by Danielle Creations. Its a thicker cotton mask with a fair amount of serum in it. I sometimes use the remaining serum mixed with a little essence and compressed sheet mask the next day for added value. To keep the serum sanitary, I use a bag clip and keep it in the fridge overnight.

I recently discovered the Jade Roller, and I use it after applying the mask to help 'push-in' the serum. The eye mask is ok and bite beauty lip mask is definitely hydrating (forgot to add it too the photo).

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I always use my jade roller with my sheet masks!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Aaliaa @Kim888 I love the look of the jade roller! I ended up going a less pretty but quite effective route for getting my serums deep into my pores. I apply the serum to my face and then use my Foreo Luna Mini 2 to massage it into my skin. I’ve noticed that my results have improved vastly, and that I can use less serum. 

 

A cheaper alternative, for anyone that doesn’t have a Foreo cleansing device, is to use the Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad. It’s quite effective as well, for under $10. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Interesting, I haven't heard about the Sephora cleansing pads so I will have to check it out. I got the Jade Roller as a present (so the perfect price!) but so far I think its definitely worth $25. The 'cooling' effect of Jade feels lovely, especially around the eyes.

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I agree with everyone I’m super curious about the roller - let us know your thoughts after using it for a bit please!!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

So far I really like it @scott1201 @Anonymous! I've used it after applying facial oil, sheet masks and Eye Cream. My under-eyes have bene continuously dry and the roller has paired really well with my Clinique Eye Cream Rich. It helps with product absorption and feels cooling but I'm not sure if I look any less puffy though. I got mine from Herbivore.

 

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I agree with @Anonymous, let us know how you like the jade roller. I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while now! @Aaliaa

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Happy New Year @Aaliaa!  This looks like a fun mask session. I've been going back and forth about the jade roller, so I'll be interested in how you feel about it during these weekly mask challenges.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Fantastic idea!! Thanks for tagging! I’m in.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@ChristineR07  Yay! 💆

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hey Everyone, I have a quick question? I have a list of about 40 different ideas for each weeks challenge and others have shared some great ones too. I also noticed some people mentioned how they don't like specific brands or types of masks. SSooooo, do you think we should have two challenges each week?? This gives people more options and using more masks each week! (Or is this overkill and we all get bored by Jan 2nd)!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for the input @nikki @mishanyc! Lets keep it the way it is and we can always change things if we feel the need later on. Let the masking begin!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I'm in  agreement with @nikki.  I like the way you have it set up.  If you change it-that's fine tho.  I figured if I didn't have a mask from a certain brand or type of mask that the challenge called for I would just substitute with something else I already have.  This way I'm still participating and using what I already have.  Looking forward to the consensus and beginning this challenge!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

That was my plan.  I have quite a stockpile of masks and don't necessarily want to add so I can use a specific brand.  I'm just glad this was set up so I actually use them. 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I like the way you have it set up and people can skip or sub a different mask on weeks that are brand specific or they don’t have. So no one is penalized but it still encourages others to try different brands or nail masks or whatever
