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
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!
Yes for glowing skin, I second that, @itsfi! I have this one in my stash and haven't tried it. Was really hoping for an overpowering rose scent but I will re-set my expectations lol 🙂
Yay for glowing skin 🙌🏻 I hope your skin continues to feel and look great throughout the day @itsfi😄💕
All thanks to you @bakeamuffin! ❤️ ❤️ Thanks so much for this mask! It's a nice one!
Great review, @itsfi!! The berry mask is really sounding great– it’s good to hear your skin woke up happy!
I really enjoyed the Rose mask – so happy you liked it too! I don’t recall much about the scent– I think I remember it being pretty light, though.
Another win for The Creme Shop! 🌹🙌
Thank you @Shosh85! Agree, scent was on the light side, just can’t figure out what it smelled like. I’m always happy when I find a mask that works well. 😊
We are excited to begin testing ourMasking Challenge Survey! Our goal is to ultimately to have a searchable spreadsheet to view each other’s critiques. This will be a separate link, but we need to test it out first to see how it imports data, so that when it is live, it is accurate and reliable. There are 3 short sections, with an option for a detailed review at the end. We welcome your feedback, please post to this thread and tag both @Aaliaa and I so we can make improvements before finalizing the form.

Please PM either of us for the link. Thank you!
Thanks, I added the multiple option to the Mask Purpose question, I'm struggling to make that change on other questions but I think this is one is probably the most relevant. @scott1201 @eshoe
Yep, @scott1201, that is an easy switch-I will test that out this morning. I used to work near N Anthropologie and would go there on my lunch break. I usually found some great things on clearance there-I miss it!
Thank you for the suggestion and have a safe trip✈️!
I think Anthro has such an overlooked beauty section! I always find such great things there. Also, I want my life and house to look like an Anthropologie 😂 @eshoe
Yeah, pretty much just walking into the store was therapeutic for me! Years later I STILL regret not buying this butterfly crewel rug that I loved there. Ugh!!!
Thanks again @eshoe and @Aaliaa for putting this together. For testing purposes, I entered my review for the Neutrogena mask I used yesterday.

I'm assuming that we can and should continue to post to this thread while testing for the survey is underway - is that right?
Absolutely, it’s not replacing them. I love the daily interactions on this BIC thread. My reasoning for the spreadsheet was just for reference and research purposes. It should only take 1-2 minutes and I would copy-paste detailed reviews from here and you can leave it blank if you want. In the beginning it will be some work to update but we would only need to do it once per mask. @eshoe @itsfi
Thank you, @itsfi! Yes, I would say it’s best to post here, too, while this is in trial mode. I am thinking of just copying and pasting my detailed review for here. I think (correct me if I am incorrect, @Aaliaa) we are just trying to make it possible to search for specific masks/reviews that others here have tried.
Hello masking mavens!
@Aaliaa has shared some ideas with me for developing a system where we can rate/review the masks we use, making the results more accessible and easier to search. I would like your input before creating the form. Right now I am looking at Google Forms but need to do a bit of research myself. The categories we have come up with thus far include:
A concern we both share is maintaining data integrity. An open Google Doc would allow anyone to change anyone else's review, and no one wants to see that happen. If it is possible, and I *think* it is, using a Google Form would ensure that the information you enter is 'sticky,' and can't be altered by anyone once completed. It appears that this information can be aggregated, which would hopefully translate to a composite rating for each mask when there are multiple ratings of the same mask. Basically, exporting it to a read-only Google doc.
Whew! If you are still with me, and have first-hand knowledge of using Forms/Survey Monkey and want to shoot me a PM to correct or help me, I am all ears! In the meantime, I will be putting together the final list based on the above and suggestions you have over the next couple weeks.
Thank you all, I appreciate your patience with this and I am pretty excited to help build something that will put our combined masking experience to good use!

@eshoe This all sounds fantastic. Thank you so much for putting this together! 🙌
