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.

Merry Masking!

 

@Aaliaa That is a go to mask for me. Soothing and refresh...

@Aaliaa That is a go to mask for me. Soothing and refreshing for any skin concern in my opinion. BTW, did you show your friend your mask collection? lol

Re: @Aaliaa That is a go to mask for me. Soothing and refresh...

I did! He's like a brother, so he got to use anything he wanted. I'm pretty sure Sephora can expect a hefty mask purchase very soon from him! @IndyQT317

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Wait, you dermaplan upwards? Have I been doing it wrong this entire time?????? @Aaliaa

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

No, I think you are fine. To me its the logic where you wax your hair in the opposite direction of its growth, so why not dermaplan. The video link you sent me (I think it was you @scott1201) had the user saying you can do it either way. I'm not sure either way is right or wrong so do what works for you!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I'm on an Origins kick right now, I took a cue from cookiegirl and mixed some masks up. They don't necessarily make sense...but my face isn't melting off so all is good lol. I mixed and have on Original Skin, Drink Up and Project Dragon Fruit. My skin feel tight from the clay and wet at the same time 😄 very odd lol

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

What an interesting idea. I never thought to try that. A little home chemistry!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I have been LOVING the project dragonfruit mask. Definitely will be a purchase for me when it comes out @GG84

@scott1201 I originally really liked the ginger one and voted for that one however having had more time to use them now, dragonfruit is more for me. I just love the texture!! I'm almost at the point where I need to cut the tube open to get the last bit out!!!

Re: @scott1201 I originally really liked the ginger one and v...

@GG84  Glad to see I'm not the only one jonesing for one of these! I actually looked for the ginger mask on shelves during the sale before I Remember we were the TESTERS! LOL

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@GG84, I'm glad it worked!

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I just tried three new masks (all Korean brands) and wanted to share my opinion on them. I bought the Skinfood masks at Ulta and the Huxley mask off Amazon, although you can purchase all three on Amazon. The Skinfood Strawberry Black Sugar Mask: you keep on for 10-15 minutes and then wash off. I really liked this one. It feels like you are putting real strawberries on your face, but not in a slimy sort of way. The mask is slightly exfoliating due to the black sugar but very gentle. I’ve used several times and it made my skin smooth, moisturized, and bright. The Skinfood Rice Mask: this one is also gently exfoliating. You are supposed to massage into your skin for 10-15 minutes. It sounds like a pain but I just went on my phone to pass the time while massaging with the other hand (don’t ask me how I accomplished this - I have no idea!). When I rinsed off, my skin was amazingly smooth and hydrated. Definitely my favorite one. Lastly, the Huxley Secret of Sahara Sleep Mask: Good Night: this was pricier than the other two masks (the others will only run you about $10-$12 or so) but pricier doesn’t always mean better. I slept with this on one night and rinsed off the next morning. Honestly, I didn’t feel it did much for my skin. It left it a bit moisturized but I get better results with regular moisturizer and my Argan or rose hip oil. I also think the Sephora sleep masks far surpass this mask as far as hydration goes, and they are a fraction of the price. So that’s my Mask review. Hope you enjoy! Pic attached.

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Llamamama2 Thanks for reviewing the Huxley sleeping mask. It is pricey and I had high hopes for it. That sucks it didn’t work out for you. I love sleeping masks and have been wanting to try it for quite a while now. 

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Perfect  timing!  Skinfood is on sale this week, buy 1 get 1 half price! I'm going to try the strawberry  for sure! 

 I'm super excited 

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Ohhh thanks for the reviews @Llamamama2. I am going to try out those masks too. Always looking for great inexpensive options.

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@KrishAlt, @itsfi, Ulta is having a sale on Skinfood products now! Buy one, get the other 50% off 😊!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Llamamama2  @NewyorkerAF  @KrishAtl 

If your goal was to enable, mission accomplished. 😉  Picked up both masks.  Thanks for the sale info and for your thoughts on the Skinfood masks!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi @NewyorkerAF @KrishAtl, so glad you are enjoying the masks! I've been trying more expensive ones out and keep going back to these. I even had a male friend come over last night and use the rice mask. Have fun!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Good morning sunshine! 

  You are in good company! The strawberry mask smells so good! My face was so soft this am!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Llamamama2 

I've been wondering about those Skinfood masks for some time, and your reviews were very helpful. Thank you!  Now, I just have to decide whether I want to try the rice mask or the strawberry one first. 😉

RE: Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hi @itsfi! If I had to choose, I’d say go with the rice mask first. But considering they will cost you around $20 altogether, it may be worthwhile (and fun) to try both!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I bought some silly things and decided to put them to good use while masking. I used the Boscia Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask. I had heard it requires a thick application to peel off properly. I thought I applied enough, but I still had trouble pulling it off in big enough pieces. I will use a thicker layer next time to see if that helps. Despite all that, I still liked it and think it made my skin feel soft. We'll see how I look tomorrow.

IMG_20180421_014805067.jpg

I followed up with a new to me sheet mask from the Creme Shop, the Glow Up, Skin! It lists having rainbow pearl essence and definitely leaves the skin looking like you have an all over highlighter on. My skin does feel nice and hydrated though.

In case the Caticorn and unicorn mask wasn't obvious enough, my mug tells you what I am.In case the Caticorn and unicorn mask wasn't obvious enough, my mug tells you what I am.
