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.

2) PM @Aaliaa or @eshoe to make the change directly in the response spreadsheet

Thanks @eshoe for putting this together!

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!

Well, the times you DO want to read the package, it's never in English, @scott1201 😕 And yet when it IS, I think I know it all, and don't bother reading it. I need to remember every single time, to just slow down and take the time to prep!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe This looks like an awesome duo! These definitely sound great– especially the vanilla cake part, haha! 🍰 I’ve read a few reviews on these and have heard only positive things! So glad you liked them! 👌

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 when my daughter and I were trying to place the scent, pizza was one thing that came to mind, which makes sense lol! Can't wait to try out the other ones 🙂

[Shosh85]

@eshoe Oooh! If I ever saw a mask that claimed it smelled like pizza, I’d snap that up in a heartbeat, haha!😂🍕

[eshoe]

It's probably the closest you'll ever get in a face mask, @Shosh85 lol!!!

[SchylarR]

Oooo interesting! Love that the first one had such a unique scent! Sounds heavenly! 😊 @eshoe

[eshoe]

If I could duplicate the scent of the first one in a moisturizing cream, that would be awesome, @SchylarR!

[Aaliaa]

Last evenings mask. Still working on keeping pores clean and fighting off acne on my chin like a whack-a-mole. I've spoken about the Odacite Synergie [4] once before, but today I mixed the powder with Apple Cider Vinegar to amp up the acne fighting powers. I've never used apple cider vinegar before and was really apprehensive. Firstly my eyes burnt, a lot even though I got no product in them, but my skin cleared out well. I had three pimples and this mix bought them all to a head. I would definitely use this concoction again though I would dilute the apple cider vinegar with water next time. I followed with the BNBG Vita Genic Jelly Mask. I like this, its hydrating and ticks all the right boxes.

[bakeamuffin]

This looks like an aweosme combo @Aaliaa! 😍 The Odacite synergy sounds like a really cool formula, I love the idea of combining it with acv for a stronger effect to zap thoes zits 💥

[eshoe]

Oh, sorry about the burning, @Aaliaa. I was pretty interested in your concoction, I've heard of the inner health benefits of apple cider vinegar but never the topical 😉 Hoping this helps clear things up for you!

[Shosh85]

@Aaliaa This masking combo sounds great! I didn’t know Apple Cider Vinegar was useful to help with acne! I will definitely have to try this out on my next break out! Thanks for the great review! 👍😉

[itsfi]

@Aaliaa I’m intrigued by this mask - acne in the chin / along the jawline is annoying. LOVE the jelly mask! 😀

[scott1201]

Airplane prep this morning! I’m taking a quick trip this weekend so I wanted to be sure to get my mask in today 😌

I’ve used this mask once before - always picking them up on clearance at Anthropologie. I think the last couple I purchased were less than $1? Anywho, this is an excellent mask. The fabric is kind of a lightweight mesh that holds a lot of serum; also a lot of serum left in the package for my shoulders and chest. The scent is SO NICE but I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe just that nice, typical, spa smell? Kind of rose water and cucumber? The fit was actually a little small but it wasn’t uncomfortable. All in all, great moisturizing mask. 

[bakeamuffin]

This sounds like a nice mask @scott1201! I’m going to keep my eyes open for it next one I’m in Anthropologie 😄 safe Travels ✈️ ❤️

[SchylarR]

Ooooo gotta check Anthropologie now! 😊 Never would have thought to look there for sheet mask deals! @scott1201

[SchylarR]

Yaaaaas!!! Thanks so much for the info!!! 😄 @scott1201

[scott1201]

Yes, @SchylarR! They’ve got great skincare and makeup. Be sure to join their free membership program - they run 20% off promos a couple times a year 🤗

[Aaliaa]

I love this packaging, I am such a sucker for recycled paper looks. Have a fun weekend @scott1201!

[scott1201]

Yes! I feel like good packaging can move the needle on an average mask for me. I’m like, hmm this mask was fine but it had GREAT packaging so I like it 😂 @Aaliaa

[eshoe]

When I look at the variety of packaging for sheet masks, what I am really thinking is 'wow, they have some seriously smart marketing teams,' @scott1201. That's a job that would be fun!

[Shosh85]

@scott1201 I’ve been wanting to try this one– I’ve heard good reviews about it!! So happy it did so well for you!! 

Have a safe but fun, plane ride and trip!! ✈️
