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!

 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!

@bakeamuffin So that is what that mask looks like! Thank you for sharing. I tried to purchase a while ago, but it was sold out.

[bakeamuffin]

@IndyQT317 that is a bummer! 

If you’re still interested in a unicorn mask, I saw that the Creme shop carriers two kinds! I’ll link them for you to check out 😊 🌸🦄💕

[Shosh85]

@IndyQT317 I second what @bakeamuffin said!! The “Clear Up, Skin” Unicorn mask from The Creme Shop is fantastic! It really helps to clear, brighten and hydrate your face! Also, it smells like strawberries and cream! Definitely one of my favorites! 🦄🍓

You can get this one at the Creme Shop direct in singles or packs, with free shipping on a $50+ purchase in the U.S. (use code: “thanku15” for 15% off) -or you can get it in a 3-pack on Amazon for $10 and free shipping! (that may be just Amazon Prime though) -Just FYI😉

[mermadelove]

@bakeamuffin. I have this one and I have yet to use it. Thanks for the reminder!!

[bakeamuffin]

I hope you love it @mermadelove! 😄 🦄 

[itsfi]

Super cute @bakeamuffin!  Thanks for your review; this mask sounds great!  I think I have a couple sheet masks from Nails Inc.; am excited to use them now. 

[Shosh85]

This is probably like the cutest mask ever! 😍 @bakeamuffin Thanks for the review! -I had totally forgot about these! 👌

[bakeamuffin]

It’s inspiring me to try more masks,

I can’t resist all the fun ones on the market @Shosh85 😄

[yankeefaithful]

@bakeamuffin Oh, this looks interesting! I love the blush color and your eyes look so pretty!!🤩😉 No, really, this sounds like a really nice one, especially tightening pores!! Thanks for the great review! What did your kids think?

[bakeamuffin]

Hahahaha 😆 mask and complete makeover all in one ✨😂 

My kids loved this one, they’re usually inturigued by my fun masks but this one has been their fave! 🦄 Espeically my daughter, I can’t wait for her to be big enough to mask with me 😊 thanks for asking @yankeefaithful 💕

[itsfi]

Not sure how old your daughter is @bakeamuffin, but The Creme Shop has a set of "Mommy and Me" sheet masks - the one for the kids are shaped like a kitty!

@yankeefaithful

[bakeamuffin]

@itsfi THANK YOU!! 😍 These look adorable!! One more reason to ignore the price difference of CAD from USD and place an order. This would be perfect to use with her for a girls spa afternoon 😄 

[itsfi]

@bakeamuffin 

Aaack!!!  I forgot about the price difference - ugh!!!  Sorry.  Hmmm.... we need to find a store in Canada that carry these sheet masks!! 

[bakeamuffin]

@itsfi that would totally be ideal, I think I’m going to place an order soon from them anyways, their prices are super fair so the conversion won’t be too bad. I’m building up a shopping cart 🛒😄 Any other MUST TRY mask from them?! 

[itsfi]

Hmmm....must try's would be ... the eye sheet masks are fab!  For hydration, the chia seed sheet mask and the propolis sheet mask (but beware with the propolis one, you'll probably need to cut the section across the bridge of the nose).  All the coffee-based ones are good (i.e., cold brew, caffe mocha, etc).  For discoloration and acne, I like the turmeric sheet mask.

Tagging @Shosh85 - she's super knowledgeable about The Creme Shop masks.

[Shosh85]

Thanks for the tag, @itsfi! 

@bakeamuffin there is still a bunch I haven’t tried yet, but so far my two absolute favorites are the Caffe Mocha mask and the Caffeinated Eye mask. These are perfect for AM masks because they help reduce puffiness and perk up, energize and hydrate the skin. The Caffe Mocha one smells like chocolate coffee and the Caffeinated Eye Mask smells like chocolate... soooo good😋🍫☕️

Here are my favorites for certain issues:

Spoiler

Hydration: Wake Up, Skin! (Raccoon) mask and the Propolis (honey) Mask. 🍯

Puffiness and dark circles: Cafe Mocha mask and Caffeine Eye mask. ☕️🍫

Clearing and brightening: Clear Up, Skin! (Unicorn) mask 🦄🍓(smells like Strawberries & Cream😋)

Aging, smoothing, fine lines: Blueberry Banana 🍌

[yankeefaithful]

@bakeamuffin This is so cute!! You're going to have so much fun with your daughter!! Pictures please!!😊Way to go @itsfi!!😘

[bakeamuffin]

Totally @yankeefaithful I can’t wait to share our masking with you guys, having others who understand how fun and amazing skin care is the best👌🏻💕 I’m raising the next generation to love skincare as much as we do 😂 

[itsfi]

Yes, @bakeamuffin!  Echoing @yankeefaithful's comment - pics of your mommy and me masking sesh with your little one would be fun!!  🙂 

[SpaceLlama]

What a cute face mask, @bakeamuffin! I didn't know Nailsinc had face masks 😮

[bakeamuffin]

I was surprised when I saw it too @SpaceLlama, I’ve been hoarding it away for a few months and was so glad to have it today! 😊
