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 shouldnโt change. This would just be on top of that. Hopefully the more people that partake in this, the larger database of information weโll have for reference. It will be extra effort in the beginning but then we would only need to input any new mask weโve tried.
Additional Info:
Since we arenโt allowed to post links, please PM or myself for it. You will also find this information on the original post so you donโt 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
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!
@itsfi Oooh, that's great to know! I know I have at least one from you that I need to try soon! ๐๐
Continuing with the Week 2 themes - 2018 Favorite Mask of the Week Challenge or "B" masks last night, I went with two "B" masks, the Belif Pore Cleaner Bubble Foam Mask and a Brightening mask from the Taiwanese brand Naruko. I'm familiar with Naruko - it's one of my favorite brands for sheet masks, but this particular sheet mask is a new one for me.
Ohhh face and neck... interesting. Not sure how I would feel using that... still sounds like a great one though! @itsfi
Completely understand that @veronika23! Iโm not typically a fan of masks like this one; my neck and jawline can be easily irritated and prone to clogged pores, but so far I havenโt experienced any irritation or reaction from the mask. ๐
Thanks @lmaster! Itโs a good one. ๐๐ผ
@itsfi I've never tried the Belif bubble mask before, but I agree that it's so much better when you can see where you're putting it! I own the Instamud but still haven't tried it yet! I like the sound of it going on purple!
That Naruko mask certainly sounds interesting! It'd be very interesting to know if this does give results over time! Sounds like it did great with just one use! I'm glad you saw some results!๐๐
The purple color on the InstaMud is really helpful to know where the bubbling / foaming is going to take place. I've been impressed with the Naruko sheet masks, @Shosh85; so much so that I might look into some of their non-mask skincare products once I've gone through more of the products in my current stash.
Oh the Naruko mask sounds really interesting and great, @itsfi. I was introduced to the brand with your masking advent calendar and I already have some on my amazon wishlist for future purchase - I think Iโll add this one too!
Sidebar - Iโve been trying to incorporate my neck and chest more into my skincare (I know this is NOT a novel idea, hah) and Iโd love to see more neck masks. Wonder if this is a trend we will start seeing?
Oh PS, @itsfi, where do you buy this brand? They have a small amazon presence so Iโm sure there are better options
@scott1201, I get my Naruko sheet masks directly from the site, narukoboutique(dot)com
They usually have some good deals. Thereโs a pull down menu for โlanguageโ near the top on the left hand corner. Very helpful. The first time I ordered, I missed that feature. LOL! ๐๐
@itsfi this goes as an exception on my low buy ๐ Sounds so lovely. The belif is a favorite of mine, but do share your sentiments re: slight coloring for mask placement. Thank you for reviewing these, will be off to research the Naruko soon ๐
@eshoe, the Naruko sheet mask is wonderful!! ๐ I feel like it hydrates and moisturizes my skin and brightens it too. If you end up picking it up, Iโd love to know what you think about the mask.
I am on the hunt and will be too excited not to share when I find it @itsfi!
Youโre on the hunt to find the mask @eshoe?
Yes and no luck so far @itsfi. Which I suppose is good and bad, as I donโt know about an all-encompassing mask. Iโm very intrigued and terrified at the same time๐คซ Itโs kind of like a secret dare. I donโt want to do it but yet I donโt want to be chicken.
Ah, I see. I completely understand @eshoe. Iโm not a fan of masks that cover my neck and that have ear loops. Amazon has a variety pack of Naruko masks
that includes this brightening one. I donโt think all the masks are designed like this one. Iโm pretty sure I have all of the masks in the variety pack on amazon. If you want to take a look at it and there are a few youโre interested in, let me know and Iโll try them and give you my thoughts so you can see if itโs worthwhile to pick up the set.
Hi @itsfi and @eshoe, great to know Nauko masks can be purchased at Amazon. I had bought a box each in Asia of their tea tree oil, raw Jobs tears and Magnolia sheet masks and I love them all but theyโre so different. This Magnolia mask of course has the ear and chin flaps, creamy essence and the most fragrant. The tea tree oil is a black mask with a medicinal smell and my fave is the raw Jobโs tears - clear essence, slight yeasty smell but my skin seems to always look better the next morning. I was wondering where in the US to get more Naruko masks.
@newcarlee, thank you so much for this info on the other masks. ๐ Iโm even more excited to try the Jobโs tearโs now!! Amazon has been stocking more Naruko lately, some in variety sets which is nice. The Naruko site has a ton of masks to choose from too.
