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.

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!

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.

Merry Masking!

@heartsmyfaceAhahaha! If they delivered out this far I totally would.

[heartsmyface]

Omg, I don’t know what i’d do without pizza delivery:0. Probably cook a heck of a lot more like I keep telling myself I want to do but don’t.😅 @Samtian

What a fantastic stocking stuffer @StyleLynn!  I've never tried the Garnier sheet masks. It has green tea and hyaluronic acid in it which sounds good to me.  Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[jen81]

@StyleLynn I laughed at the horrifying comment. My husband has looked at me with horrified look before and it made me laugh. Now he is used to the sheet masks so no more weird looks! 

[mishanyc]

@StyleLynn A thousand hearts for your post lol!  I agree about the sheet mask thing.  I always warn my hubby before I step out of the room that I'm wearing one.  I feel it's only right to give him a fair warning.  However, it doesn't stop him from playing with me and gasping in fear every time.

[mishanyc]

Friday night called for some pampering.  I used the Shea Butter Essence Sheet mask and the Sephora Almond Foot Mask.  The mask felt moisturizing yet not sticky.  I can't stand that feeling some masks leave behind.  The foot mask was ok.  I expected a bit more hydration but that could've been at my own doing.  I purchased the Sephora Collection Holy Sheet mask set last year.  After waiting a year to use it, it's possible it wasn't as moisturizing as it originally was.

[Samtian]

Sorry about your foot mask. I've used it before and I really like it.

[Aaliaa]

I just want to know what else you have in that box @mishanyc! Oh no about the foot mask, I'm expecting mine in the mail Monday 🤷🏽‍♀️

[mishanyc]

@Aaliaa I'm sure your foot mask will be fine.  I waited a while to use mine.  Lol (about the box) stay tuned 😉

[Anonymous]

Yaaaay for pampering @mishanyc!

[mishanyc]

@Anonymous Yes! Sometimes it's the little things like a face and foot mask that make a difference. 🙂

I've been on a roll today! I was very generously gifted a Sonos for Christmas and I finally got around to setting up the alarm radio function, (I always wanted a radio alarm as a kid, but it wasn't a thing where I grew up) so I woke up to lovely music. Well I'm 3 masks down and got the Farmacy Honey Potion on my skin at the moment. 

I forgot to take a picture of my hair mask, but its just pure Coconut Oil mixed with some Tea Tree Oil to help my scalp. Have a great skin weekend!

[Anonymous]

Love those mini Farmacy Honey masks @Aaliaa!  Sounds like you are having a great skin weekend! Woohoo!

[Aaliaa]

Thanks @Anonymous! I think its time to pick up a full size one when I visit the US next month.

[Kim888]

So many good masks @Aaliaa ! The farmacy one is so good for these winter months!

[Aaliaa]

Thanks @Kim888! I can use all the additional moisture as I've been in circulated heat continuously and can feel my skin slightly breaking out and developing dry patches. 

[Drines13]

Wow!!! I love this!!!!

[Aaliaa]

Masking Trivia #01 - Do you follow time instruction of a mask or do your own thing?

[GG84]

Absolutely not lol @Aaliaa Ren's Glycolic Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask which is 9% *the strongest we can get in Canada is 10%* says leave on for 10 mins. I let that sucker sit on my face/neck a solid hour...burnnnnn layers of my face off, make me young and beautiful!! Kidding, she don't burn...but you get my point lol. Hydrating masks I'll put on before I clean my house and completely disregard instructions. Rules are meant to be broken 😎

[Aaliaa]

I do wish we could get Baby facial or the Ordinary AHA 30% in Canada.

[GG84]

@Aaliaa You can order the Ordinary 30% from Beautylish, they'll ship it to Canada for some reason.
