Mask of the Week Challenge!

[Aaliaa]

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!

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.

Merry Masking!

Oil masks are really nice in the cold winter months @CC3616! The make p:rem ones can be found at target(dot)com or on Glow Recipe's site. Leaders also makes oil masks, as does Holicka Holicka. BOSCIA - Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydrating Bio-Cellulose Maskis another one and it's part of the Weekly Wow; since the Boscia one has a bio-cellulose mask your skin is less likely to have a layer of oil essence after removing the mask. I like the boscia and will pick up a couple during the sale, but for me, I like the cotton sheet in the winter.

One of my New Years Resolutions is to actually go through some of the beauty products I’ve collected over the past few years (which I feel like could be a thread on its own. Honestly I might start it lol), which includes makeup AND skincare. I’ve been really good about masking and even using my eye patches!! Tonight I used the Drunk Elephant Baby Facial mask and Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Undereye Patches. I feel great!!

[veronika23]

Sounds like a great night of masking @illianamarie!

[eshoe]

Thank you for the tag @itsfi🙂 @illianamarie, seeing my weekly sheet mask empties is so helpful for me and makes me think about them a second time. The empties thread is SO much fun, as is the Pan It Challenge both @itsfi and @CC3616 mentioned. Helps me to stay focused on what I have, which creates contentment. However you do it, wishing you the best😊

[CC3616]

@illianamarie Great choices! I think it's safe to say Baby facial is a community staple. Definitely join us for the pan it challenge that @itsfi recommended and post your empties, it makes using what you have on hand fun and motivating!

Also check out @Tamara76s collection thread to share your goodies!

Drunk Elephant Babyfacial is amazing! I know there are some fans of those PTR cucumber eye patches on this thread too! Sounds like a great masking duo! 

Using products you already have is a great resolution @illianamarie!  A few of us here are working on that as well this year. I think there are a couple of threads that you might be interested in checking out. Tagging @eshoe and @scott1201 - they post regularly to a couple of these threads.

For another letter C mask, I went with what the lovely @lmaster recently gifted me last night, the Clean & Clear night relaxing mask. The jelly consistency was refreshing & it had a pleasant, relaxing smell. I actually think I fell asleep with this on😋 so I left it on a good 45 min before removing. It was pretty dried out but was easy to remove even in that state! It did a good job at making my upper face soft & plump when I woke up this morning. It's a solid "A" mask. Thank you @lmaster for sharing this mask with me!

[emaisgr8]

@sonnydee I've been seeing that mask and wondered about it. I'm glad you liked it.

[missjeanie]

@sonnydee I didn't know Clean and Clear made masks, what a great find from a great friend!

[veronika23]

The jelly consistency sounds really nice @sonnydee!

[lmaster]

you are so welcome @sonnydee glad you liked it 😘 I thought you might 😉 I also was very impressed with it and wanted to share the love 🤗

[eshoe]

The packaging is so soothing on this one, @sonnydee! Very nice of @lmaster to send some masking goodness your way😊👍🏼

[itsfi]

This mask looks like a fun one @sonnydee! 🙂

Week 3 - Jan 14 - 20 - Letter C or Favorite Mask in Regular Routine

Spoiler

C is for Chamomile. I LOVE this scent. I also love these masks. A+ I also included the Bite mask that is a regular in my routine. It is also a A+ for me. 

[lmaster]

two of my favorite masks! @emaisgr8 after trying the heated one from @itsfi I had to stock up on those puppies!! they are so relaxing at night. my daughter and I use those regularly

[GalPalVal17]

@lmaster I've seen this eye mask posted a few times now and so want to try. Where is a good place to get them/stock up?  

[lmaster]

@GalPalVal17 I ordered them from yesstyle.com I think I got a couple 12 or 14 packs for 14$ or something close to that, and they have a few different scents to choose from

[veronika23]

Ohhh I have the unscented ones like that coming! I can't wait!!!! @emaisgr8

[itsfi]

Great masking @emaisgr8! I just love those steam eye masks! 💗 Such a nice treat!

[eshoe]

I am going to have to try the Chamomile mask after reading so many great reviews on them, @emaisgr8 🙂 I've only tried the lavender, and I'm almost out so it will be my next scent to try. Love the Bite, too!

My skin had quite the weekend and was/is in need of some help this week to recover.  I was working at a snow cross event where it was -20C.  Once the wind picked up I spent quite a bit of my day alternating between having my face in the cold wind and being right up against a heater blowing warm air.  Needless to say my skin was super dry to the point where it hurt.  I had put a barrier cream on in the morning and was using my Drunk Elephant Lippie all over my face (I've used this before under my eyes when the skin there has a spat and hates me).  By Sunday night I knew I needed to warm up my body and give my face some love.  While not a C mask I tried one of the Erno Laszio Sooth and Calm Hydrogel Masks that I'd just gotten from TJ Maxx while I sat in a warm bath.  So I've never used a hydrogel mask before this, and I have to ask, how do I know which side of the mask goes against my skin?  The mask did feel nice after the initial sting of having something touch it.  And my skin is back to my normal level of dry now, so I'll give this mask some good credit!

-- Side note... I just looked up the price of these masks they're 80$ for 4 on Holt... holy crap!
