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.

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: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I'm amazed you kept it on for as long as you did @Shosh85!  I wonder what it was in the mask that cause that.  I had to look up the ingredients; perhaps it's the camphor - Cinnamomum Camphora (Camphor) Leaf Extract?

 

And now we know that you don't enjoy masks that give off a burning feeling, Shosh85 - lol!  I would have assumed as much but good to have it confirmed. Thannks for going through this so we know. ha! 😉 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you, @itsfi!! If it had started burning right away, I would’ve taken it off sooner. At first it was just a bit tingly, so I thought maybe that’s just what it’s supposed to do.

Im not too good at deciphering ingredients, but I feel like the Camphor is a good guess. I’m thinking maybe I should try comparing the ingredients from this one with some of the other masks I know worked well, and see if anything stands out. 🤔

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Less of a moisturizing panda and more an aggressive angry panda 🐼 @Shosh85 haha!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@scott1201 Haha! That is exactly right! 🐼 😂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I was really hopping you would add a photo of yourself with this on @Shosh85!! All Love!! Too bad about the burning though.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Aaliaa Thank you!! Besides the burning feeling, it wasn’t that bad, haha!! 😂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yesterday I paired 2 masks by the same brand, peach slices: ‘firming’ for the A.M. and ‘hydrating’ for the P.M.; now I am on the waitlist for the set.peach slices firm and hydratepeach slices firm and hydrate

 

 

Spoiler

The firming mask, with pomegranate and honey, had a faint vanilla cake scent. This was the first for a sheet mask for me. The fit was very good, easy to apply and return to my morning routine quickly. There was plenty of extra serum, which I used throughout the 20 minutes as it dried down fairly quickly. The scent was so unexpected! It was a fun way to start my day. I was very curious what the hydrating mask would be like.

 

When I opened it, there was a scent I could not place. It reminded me of being in the kitchen, and after reading the front (I really need to start reading these prior to opening) it made sense-thyme! It wore off fairly quickly, but unlike the morning mask, I did not need to reapply serum while wearing it. The fit also matched the morning mask, it was quick and easy to apply, and left my skin nice and plump😊. The hydration mask left my skin a bit tackier than the firming one, but that didn’t bother me too much. I began my search for it online before I removed it, as @itsfi sent both of these my way and they are very enjoyable masks. Looking forward to trying the others when they are in stock again!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

These both sound very nice @eshoe 😄 I love the sound of  vanilla cupcake scented mask, I would need snacks in hand for sure! 🍰😊 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin  @eshoe  @Shosh85  @SchylarR  All this talk about cupcakes and pizza is making me hungry.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi Mmmmm, cupcakes and pizza! How about pizza cupcakes?! Haha!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hahahaha! 😂😂😂 These look good @Shosh85! Let me know what time to come over! 😉 😆  I’ll bring drinks! 😂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi Great idea! 😂 Some wine would be nice! Haha! 🍷🥂🍸

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Got it! Red or white? Hahahaha! 😂 I’ll bring both! Lol!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yay, happy to hear you enjoyed the masks @eshoe!  Are you on the waitlist for these masks through Peach & Lily? You can also order them on cvs(dot)com - some CVS stores carry them as well. There's usually a 30% off code that comes around with some frequency that can be applied to an online purchase of the masks. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes, I am, @itsfi - I would not have thought to try CVS! Now I need to pick up those AND the Neutrogena mask there, thanks for the tip 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe, you can also find the warming masks (non-sheet masks) that @mermadelove has used and raved about on this thread. I picked up a couple of them. There's also a nice selection online of other non-sheet mask K-beauty products too!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

There have been so many times that I put on a sheet mask and think, “man I should really read the package...” and I still never do - haha! Glad these worked out for you, @eshoe

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

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!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@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! 👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@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 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

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