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.

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!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Morning and afternoon masking today:407A0547-E458-4342-AEAC-12F32F8C3D90.jpeg

Sorry for the total distraction but after I snapped the first pic I noticed the little rainbow showing up on her mirror. I took a few more photos but besides that, it was a good mask. Decent fit, no adjustments, clean scent-a good mask that set the tone for the day. My skin did appear slightly brighter but it was superficial due to the light serum. Wouldnโ€™t repurchase but not bad.

Is this normal?Is this normal?

I was pretty excited to use this Sephora mask as it promises to prime and hydrate.

I think I may have purchased one that was older or transported at high temps; itโ€™s appearance was not pleasant and I was a little hesitant to try it out. When removed from the package, it was quite dry. The fit was fairly good, a big bonus for this one. There was no extra serum, but I wasnโ€™t too concerned as itโ€™s a 3-minute mask. I removed promptly after the timer and patted in the extra essence which took a bit of time as it was a bright white-pink color. Once absorbed I was pretty iimpressed with how even my skin tone appeared. I applied my usual moisturizer after noticing a bit of aggravation on my forehead and let it absorb.

Unfortunately I had to rinse it off as my skin was itching quite a bit after a few more minutes. I do not have sensitive skin so was surprised to hve this reaction. Hope to hear othersโ€™ experiences with this mask. The priming aspect was really good, just wish it didnโ€™t have such an irritating effect on my skin. 

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe That's too bad about the Primer mask โ€“ I wonder what was making you itchy? I have this one and haven't tried it yet, but I have tried the BioBelle primer one and thought it was pretty decent. I was planning on comparing the two soon. I'll be curious to see if my mask looks like that! I'll let you know how it goes! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰

Sorry to hear the Whitening mask wasn't anything special. ๐Ÿ˜ข That rainbow sure is pretty though! ๐ŸŒˆ

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

You know, @Shosh85-I felt it would have been a great primer and if it didnโ€™t bother my skin, would have made an amazing base.

 

Really hoping someone else tries it out and their mask doesnโ€™t look as mine did๐Ÿ˜‘

@eshoe that's interesting! at least it gave you some kind of results ๐Ÿ˜ƒ pretty rainbow though lol

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Itโ€™s too bad that the primer sheet mask gave you a reaction @eshoe, sorry you experienced that! I too wonder if it was a dud - I was going to try this mask but now Iโ€™m wondering how well it will preform. Iโ€™ll keep my eye out for what others experience with this one! 

The White Ning mask sounds interesting- the package certainly is adorable! ๐ŸŒˆ 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Someone else here just purchased it, I recall seeing it on the Hauls thread, @bakeamuffin. Hoping they post here with their findings as well. It just seemed like it had dried out, I would be willing to try it again just to see if thatโ€™s what happened. Hope yours is better, as it seemed like it would be a good primerโ˜บ๏ธ

Ugh that's a bummer that the Sephora mask was a dud. I was planning on using mine today. I'll report back about my experience.

Iโ€™m very curious, @Lazybeautybeast

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe

Oh no! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Iโ€™m so sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the Sephora mask. Good that you rinsed it off. I used the Sephora primer mask once and thought it was okay. I do wonder if the mask you received was a dud - I donโ€™t recall mine looking like that when I took it out of the packet.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

 AM Masking Session included the FRESH - Vitamin C Brightening Glow Powder and the Skyn Iceland Solutions for Stressed Skin Hydro Cool Eye Gels that @itsfi sent me to try โค๏ธ (Thanks Fi!! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป)

I personally love the tatcha, @bakeamuffin, I'd love to know your thoughts on the two compared if you do try it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Iโ€™ll definitely tag you when I get a chance @lmaster!  ๐Ÿ˜„ 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin  This sounds like great masking AM and PM!! I haven't had the chance (just had facial when I received this gratis) to try the Fresh Vitamin C powder. Good to know you had nice results from that and the eye gels. Thanks for the great reviews!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin Love those DDG Peel Pads and the Rose Face Mask is one of my favorites! I still haven't tried the Fresh Glow powder, but I'm super excited to! So happy to hear you enjoyed it!! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค—

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 I hope theyโ€™ll offer the Fresh vit c facial in the promos or samples soon, I love when they do that with new products so we have a chance to try it out before purchasing! ๐Ÿ˜„

@bakeamuffin that fresh does remind me of the tatcha rice enzyme powder, which I love. I really want to test that fresh one out!

Re: @bakeamuffin that fresh does remind me of the tatcha rice...

Oo I havenโ€™t yet tired the Tatacha Rice Enzyme powder but since reading Pure Skin by Victoria Tsai I have wanted to! I sounds amazing, it would be great to compare how the two work @lmaster! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin

 When I used to use DDG regularly I was always really scared to put anything other then moisturizer on my face after. That's the main reason I only sporadically use them now. Did you do the sheet mask right after?

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I did @GG84, I waited about 5-10 minutes after using the second wipe and then used the sheet mask. It didnโ€™t bother my skin at all. I wouldnโ€™t knowingly use something that contained AHAโ€™s or BHAโ€™s after using the peel since this one is quite strong, but the moisture from the Rose mask was very okay for me โ˜บ๏ธ

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@bakeamuffin the fresh mask is such a great mask, isnโ€™t it? It sounds like it does wonders for your skin, so glad to hearโ˜บ๏ธ

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe it totally is, I might have to splurge and get the full size one day! โ˜บ๏ธ
