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

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!

This looks and sounds like a fabulous mask @RGbrown!  I knew Skyn Iceland had the eye gel masks but I didn't know until now that they also do rinse off masks.  Great name for the mask, too - Fresh Start Mask. 

[yankeefaithful]

@RGbrown This looks like a great mask!  I haven't had Skyn Iceland products in a while, so I may need to look into this.  Glad you decided to share.  Thanks!

Tonight i’m using a couple Talika Paris bi enzyme masks.   One for my face and one for my décolleté  I bought a bunch of these in St Barths earlier last year.  This is the only brand I know of that makes décolleté masks so that’s the weirdness factor for tonight.  I’ll usually take my sheet masks when i’m done with using them on my face and apply them to my chest and neck until they dry out so it’s not too special a thing. 

 

[Anonymous]

@heartsmyface  I don't think I've used an enzyme sheet mask before.  You have an extensive array of masks and it will be interesting to hear your thoughts on how these enzyme masks performed compared to other masks you've tried.  Looking forward to your thoughts on these masks.

[heartsmyface]

If you can find these masks anywhere in your travels I highly recommend them.  They’re a sheet mask but they’ve got a gelatinous feel to them

almost as if they’re a hydrogel.  They provide a super dose of moisture and have an instant tightening effect.  It lasts about four hours so it would be a good mask to do right before an event.  @Anonymous

[Anonymous]

Ohhhh, that sounds amazing @heartsmyface!  Thanks so much for your feedback.  I'll definitely look for them.  After you posted, I saw the brand on some beauty e-tailers.  Still on a no-buy for sheet masks but these are going on my list ... and then I will find an event to attend.  lol.  "Gelatinous feel" sounds cool, refreshing and hydrating - all of which sound fantastic in a mask!  Thanks again!

[Aaliaa]

How did you like the enzyme mask @heartsmyface? I've never used an enzyme sheet mask ever before?

[heartsmyface]

I LOVE them!  @Aaliaa

[Aaliaa]

An all caps kind of love @heartsmyface!! Good to know!

[yankeefaithful]

@heartsmyface  These look interesting!  With the enzymes, did you get good results?  Can you get these here? You always have different masks that look like they would address different issues.

I'm behind in sharing my masks.

Last week I did a Sephora lip mask and also decided to pair with an eye mask, both while taking a nice bubble bath.

[sojess]

I used the exact same Sephora eye mask last night! Today my undereye feels sooo soft. I need to stock up on those. I hope you liked them, too!

[Anonymous]

Ohhhhh, hydrating collagen eye pads?  Those sound nice, @kelloua.

[Anonymous]

Sounds like a very relaxing mask day @kelloua.  What did you think of the lip and eye masks?

[Anonymous]

This is probably a stupid question, but is there something special about manuka honey?  I see a numerous beauty products advertised or marketed with 'manuka honey' so am just wondering if there's something in the grade or quality of the honey (or the process used to make it) that makes it better for use as a beauty treatment than the bottle of honey I would find in my grocery store.

[mrsbaine]

not at all @Anonymous! Manuka Honey is very moisturizing. It's also packed with vitamins. People who have acne prone skin have also said it's good for combating that. I personally love it for the moisture. 

[Aaliaa]

Loving this combo @Anonymous!

[Anonymous]

Fabulous mask selections @Anonymous!  A double dose of honey for you with the manuka honey and Farmacy masks!  Great for wintertime, anytime really. 🙂

[Anonymous]

So agree @Anonymous! I love honey.
