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.

 

 

 

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.

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

Lol.  It is pretty Super @Shosh85😁😉😍!!!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@KrishAtl 

So good to hear from you; have missed you!  Your new fave mask sounds fabulous - I can totally see you as a luxurious silver glamour princess Superhero!  🙂  I don't think I have that GlamGlow mask you used, but by your post, I may have to try it out.

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Aaliaa- I apologize for not sticking to the challenge schedule, but I haven’t seen a thread that has just mask results, so I’m hoping putting this here is okay 😬

I have tried both the Caffe Mocha and Cold Brew masks from The Creme Shop and wanted to share my thoughts on them. 😉👇

Spoiler

The results seemed to be very similar:

-They both felt refreshing, super energizing and they also both seemed to brighten up my face a bit (not sure if one brightened better than the other.)

-They both made my face feel soft and smooth

-They also both had a pretty good fit- just a little big around the forehead area.

 

Some differences I noticed:

-One smells like coffee and the other smells like coffee + chocolate- both great!

-The Cold Brew one had extra little flaps under the eye area, providing extra eye coverage- I liked that a lot!

-It felt like the Caffe Mocha one was a bit more hydrating (I have dry skin)

 

I loved them both, but I think I liked the Caffe Mocha one just a tad better because of the added chocolate smell and the little bit of extra hydration. 🍫😋

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I want these right nowwwwww!!!! @Shosh85

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Aaliaa They are soooo good! 🍫😋🙌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 

GREAT review and comparison of the masks!  I liked the Cold Brew mask a lot and I can't wait to try the Caffe Mocha one.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks, @itsfi! I really did enjoy both of them! 👌I’ll be interested to know your thoughts on them as well! 😉

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Love The Creme Shop masks @Shosh85. I haven’t tried those ones yet. I am a coffee addict though, so I know I will definitely love these!

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

@KrishAtl These are definitely favorites! 🍫😋

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for your reviews, @Shosh85!  They both sound like I'd enjoy them!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@curlychiquita I think you would enjoy them! They are both sooo good! 😋👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I've only had one on for about 45 seconds so far, but the Creme Shop cold brew masks are already a winner. Yummmmm

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@fieldsofclover Great minds think alike.... I just tried it this morning too, haha! 👃😋👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@fieldsofclover 

Glad to hear you like it.  At least for the first 45 seconds. LOL.  I agree - it does smell yum!  Hope the rest of the masking sesh goes well.

Mask of the Week Challenge!

Tonight I tried this sheet mask from YES. I like the cotton thickness of the mask. Tingled and it smelled wonderful. A small hint of cinnamon in the background of the mask. A small con was the ill shape of the mask for my face. It was too much mask for my face. Although, it's better to be too big than too small.

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes, it did tingle! This was the first sheet mask my 8-yo used (I used it as well), and the tingling was alarming to her😂 thanks for the pic, it is always interesting to see how the different masks fit on different faces.

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I didn’t stick to the challenge this week but definitely enjoyed some masking!! The first 3 pics are after using the boscia charcoal peel mask and Sephora shea lip mask, and during use of PTR cloud eye patches, in the pics you can see how they are drier in the second pic after my eyes absorbed the goodness! I do an under eye and lip mask about once a week, anyone else have a schedule of certain self care/masks? In the last pic I finally tried the boscia pudding and felt as though it absorbed some oil without drying my skin out.

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@SAlyFitz 

I'm going to have to try that boscia pudding mask, especially if it's able to absorb oil without being drying. 

 

I don't have a set schedule for certain masks; I have dehydrated skin that is both oily and dry, so my mask choice is usually driven by what's going on with my face, but because it's dehydrated, I do try to use a hydrating mask at least a couple of times per week.  

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Shot: Sake Bright White mask

Chaser: BioRepublic Pomegranate Crush fiber mask

 

The Boscia really does smell like sake!🍶 DH concurs. It's too bad the Wow this week is bundled with the pink mask... if it was this one I'd get it just because it smells good. It's taking forever to dry so I'll have to report back on the pomegranate one.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Update: the Sake mask took almost an hour and a half to dry. It really does smell like sake (that could be a plus or minus depending on your taste). It peeled off more easily than the black charcoal mask.

 

Also, the pomegranate mask was great... I ended up using it this morning because the sake bomb took so long last night. So earlier today I did a round of Sukari Babyfacial and then put this on. It wasn't sticky or anything at all afterward, and dried down well. I've been trying to find more masks I can use in the AM before putting my makeup on, so these are keepers.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Sounds great! ....but an hour and a half seems like an awful long time🤔 I can’t remember what it smells like- it was probably 10 years ago when I did my last “sake bomb” haha! I remember I liked it though, haha!

Im really liking things with pomegranate in it lately- it usually does work well for anti-fatigue. 

I seriously love using the caffeinated masks in the AM! They really do give you an extra little boost!😉 @fieldsofclover
