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 shouldnโ€™t change. This would just be on top of that. Hopefully the more people that partake in this, the larger database of information weโ€™ll have for reference. It will be extra effort in the beginning but then we would only need to input any new mask weโ€™ve tried.

 

 

 

Additional Info:

Since we arenโ€™t allowed to post links, please PM or myself for it. You will also find this information on the original post so you donโ€™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 โ€”> 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!

Ohhhh @Loretta55 a facial sounds amazing!  I've never had dermaplaning done but a facial sounds lovely - you can lie down, close your eyes, relax/fall asleep and leave refreshed with calm, brighter, smoother and softer skin!  ๐Ÿ™‚  Enjoy your facial!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you @itsfi! I hope afterwards I will not receive a hard sell to purchase additional products.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Fingers crossed๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผno hard sell for products after the facial, @Loretta55. I appreciate they need to run a business but sometimes the full on sales pitch is too much. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I agree @itsfi!!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

That is fantastic that you are going to have some pampering at the spa, @Loretta55! Iโ€™m on the same facial schedule as you๐Ÿ˜‚, once every few years or so. It sounds like your skin is giving you some of the same trouble mine is giving me, so I am really curious to see if the dermaplaning helps alleviate it!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I will keep up posted if the facial and dermaplaining helps to alleviate the problems @eshoeAlso I need about 6 larger pimples extracted that I believe I caused from my hair products.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Loretta55

Thanks for the heads up on the Miss Spa Chocolate mask. It's disappointing when a chocolate mask has no scent and doesn't give any results!!๐Ÿคจ I've been getting facials again since I found a great esthetician that uses some great products!! I haven't ever had dermaplaning, but really enjoy the other available options! Look forward to how it goes for you!! Glad you get good results from the Devacurl mask!๐Ÿ˜Š

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I have been noticing my foundation clinging to certain areas of my face that have small areas of fine hairs on my face. I am hoping the combination of the facial and dermaplaining helps to resolve that problem @yankeefaithful.

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Loretta55 Thats some awesome multi-masking!! I've heard great things about that Deva Curl! Glad to hear you liked it! ๐Ÿ‘Œ 

Masks are "hit or miss" sometimes! -not every mask that works for one person is necessarily gonna work the same way for another. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Sorry to hear the Chocolate mask was a bit of a flop! I've tried a couple of the "Miss Spa" brand masks too and did not find them too impressive either. Whenever I see "chocolate" in the title on these masks, I'm reeeally hoping it smells like chocolate too! Haha! ๐Ÿซ

I hope you enjoy your facial and dermaplaning! It sounds fabulous!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿค—

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I agree about the Miss Spa masks @Shosh85. I purchased a lip mask that would not even stay on my lips. It fell on the floor when I moved so I felt gyped by that mask. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

For Friday's masking, I decided to go with what I know โ€“ the Dr. Jart+ V7 Toning Sheet Mask, which is one of my go-to masks for brightening and moisture, and the Sephora Collection hand and foot masks because the hands and feet need some TLC too!  ๐Ÿ˜‰  

IMG_2609.JPG

Spoiler

I may have talked about the Dr. Jart+ mask before so Iโ€™ll briefly sum it up here โ€“   this is a lightweight cotton brightening sheet mask with a creamy, milky essence. It has a subtle, fresh, citrus scent, and fits and adheres well to my face. Those allergic to certain facial oils or who have sensitive skin should definitely check the ingredients list as this mask contains a lot of oils.

This sheet mask touts the benefits of 7 good-for-your-skin vitamins (hence, the โ€œV7โ€ in the name) and white jade. I did some research on the 7 vitamins included in this mask and summarized the information below โ€“ if thereโ€™s anything thatโ€™s not right or that Iโ€™m missing, please chime in.

Vitamin

Skin Benefits

A

Encourages healthy skin cell production, slows down signs of aging and protects against UV damage

B3

Another name for niacinamide, which is known for its brightening properties

B5

Keeps skin soft, supple and hydrated

C

Promotes a brighter complexion and protects against sun damage and polluaging

E

Protects against sun damage, blocks free radicals and has anti-aging benefits

H

Also known as biotin, this vitamin helps protect against sun damage and protects against water loss in the skin

White Jade

Brightens and evens skin tone

 

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi

Oh, this Dr Jart mask  sounds great!!  I like Dr Jart products, this doesn't surprise me that it was good! Thanks for such a detailed review! Glad you have soft skin on face, hands and feet!!๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘ 

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

My face, hands and feet are moisturized and all set for the upcoming week @yankeefaithful๐Ÿ™‚ โค๏ธ

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi thanks for all the great information. It sounds wonderful. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Masking with these 3 masks was very relaxing and I couldn't be more pleased with the results @emaisgr8๐Ÿ™‚

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Great masking combo! ๐Ÿ™‚ Also, thanks for the extra information/research! Super interesting! @itsfi

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

My pleasure, @SchylarR! It was fun learning about the different vitamins in this mask and what skincare benefit each provides. โ˜บ๏ธ

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This Dr. Jart mask sounds great, @itsfi, especially if you buy it Costco style๐Ÿ˜†! Thank you for including all of the info on it as well, you are always so helpful. The essence sounds nice, too. I have one more Dr. Jart mask to try during the challenge but I may pick this one up-wondering if you think this could be a morning mask or if it is too rich for that?

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Aww, thank you @eshoe. So kind of you to say. โ˜บ๏ธ  I think morning masking with the V7 mask would be great. The serum isnโ€™t very heavy, itโ€™s just that itโ€™s creamy and thereโ€™s a lot of it. Nothing bad about that, it may take some time for it to fully absorb though. Interested to hear how it works for you.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi This looks like the perfect TLC trifecta! Love those foot and hand masks! I'd never heard of that Dr. Jart mask! 7 vitamins in one mask certainly sounds great! I'll have to add this on my list of future purchases!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 the hand and feet masks are fantastic! I still want to try wearing the foot masks overnight like @bakeamuffin did when she used them, but I keep forgetting to.  

 

The V7 mask is one of my favorite brightening sheet masks ! It's one of the masks I buy in bulk now. ๐Ÿ˜‰
