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

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!

 

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This mask was awesome @MackyDeanna.  It definitely hit on all the points that it said it would in the write up.  It was hydrating and felt luxurious and definitely tones/tightens skin.  I love this mask!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

The mask looks like it has some great ingredients and is so pretty @KrishAtl!  Happy to hear you are enjoying the Facetory subscription box - I've discovered some great masks through them.

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Love it! That mask sounds and looks awesome!! @KrishAtl 🤗

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This Mask was amazing @Shosh85.  Definitely a favorite!  I think it absolutely did what the write up said it would!  My skin looks and feels fabulous!!

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@KrishAtl It’s soooo pretty! Well the fact that you are gorgeous does not hurt either lol I’m happy to hear you enjoyed this mask. I discovered some of my absolute favorites with Facetory.

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you for the lovely compliments @Zvezdochka !!!  I am loving Facetory!!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@KrishAtl This looks so soothing! Glad you had a little time to yourself and thanks for reminding me about Facetory! 

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This mask was amazing @yankeefaithful. Definitely a favorite!  Loving Facetory!!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This one looks and sounds very nice @KrishAtl! A hydrating mask is almost always a great idea 💦😄

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Enjoy your Sunday masking, @KrishAtl 🤗 I love when masks have cute patterns like that one!

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

It’s so pretty! Enjoy your time!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Well, thanks to @itsfi, I pulled out my DE TLC Babyfacial. This is definitely one mask you should use if enlarged pores is a problem.  This helped shrink my pores and made my skin feel clean without stripping it. Made my face feel soft and made my complexion brighter. Yes, you do not want to get it on your lips (right@itsfi) because it tastes awful!!😝 I also used Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Eye masks. These felt great and had alot of essence on them. I left on for the 15 minutes and then tapped in the rest of the essence. Undereye looked a little smoother and brighter. Some improvement, but not a drastic change. I've always had dark circles, so a little improvement is better than nothing. These have Retinol in them and can also be used around the mouth. I'll see how the lasting results are to see if they are worth the money!!20180609_180251.jpg

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

That sounds great, you and @itsfi are making me want to try baby facial @yankeefaithful 😍 

Happy Masking 😄

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@yankeefaithful  yaaaay!  Glad you pulled this one out - it's so great, isn't it, how the DE TLC Babyfacial just makes your pores a less prominent feature!  😉  ❤️  Oh now, you got a taste of it, too?!  Blech. 😞 

 

The Shiseido eye masks sound interesting.  There are some great skincare products in their Benefiance line.  In the past, I've had some sensitivity to retinol. I'll try to see what dosage of retinol is contained in these eye masks because smoother and brighter undereyes sound good to me. 

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

As usual, I am not on the same page as the challenge for masking lol but I started my Saturday in my favorite way- picking up, reviewing my budget, catching up on teen mom 2 & jersey shore & masking! Wooh! I tried PTR peeling gel which I found a lot easier to remove residue than my normal boscia peel gel so hopefully my skin likes it too! Followed up with boscia charcoal pore pudding bc I forgot to remove my makeup last night before passing out & my pores will rebel if not treated right! I decided to do my a once a week lip routine using some leftover yes to coconut scrub from the duo mask & scrub from last week. I recently purchased the patchology lip masks at ulta bc it’s a good deal, I’ll post my thoughts on it later as I’m still letting the mask do it’s thing! Happy Saturday BIC!

RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Update! I really liked the patchology lip masks the fragrance was pleasant, the fit was good and my lips felt plump after use!

Re: RE: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@SAlyFitz  Happy Saturday!!!  🙂  Oooh, I like the sound of this PTR + boscia mask combination - I think I'll give it a try sometime this week.

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

Honestly when I removed the mask I was like “ohh my skin looks good” haha in that clear and calm type of way!

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

Clear and calm skin sounds fantastic! 💕 Am even more excited to try out this mask combo! Thanks @SAlyFitz!

Started morning masking with Farmacy Honey Potion, a popular and regular mask in my skincare routine.  It’s a great mask to use alone or in combination with other masks and treatments.  Then I went for the Missha Herb in Nude Sheet Mask (Moisturizing Care)  - The first thing I notice when I tear into the Missha pouch is the scent of roses – it smells amazing, to me, at least.  If you are sensitive to fragrance or if you generally do not like floral, or rose, scents, this mask will not be for you. 


The second thing I notice about the Missha mask is how much essence such a thin (and I mean, thiiiiiiin) cotton mask holds – at first blush, it feels like it might border on holding too much essence.  Considering how saturated in essence the mask is, I thought I would experience a lot of slippery-ness from the mask, but quite the opposite – except for some slip in the area above the lips, it adhered easily and well, and there was enough essence just in the sheet mask alone for me to spread the essence down my neck, arms and shoulders – there’s a lot of serum in this mask.   Ohh, the mask fits amazingly well; almost seamlessly into the skin.

 

The instructions say to leave the mask on for 20 minutes but there’s so much essence in it that you can leave it on for much longer than that.  Even with my dehydrated skin (that typically drinks up the essence from masks very quickly), the sheet mask was still saturated after half an hour  of wear, so I could have kept this longer if I wanted to or had the time to do so. I found the results to be amazing – soft, dewy, smooth and moisturized skin.  This one is going on my list of masks to repurchase and when I do, I’m going to try out the other ‘flavors’ in the range.

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi did you get the missha mask on Soko glam? If not, let us know where you found it- would love to try it 🙂
