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.

 

 

 

Additional Info:

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.

Merry Masking!

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yep that's a great way to try it! @GalPalVal17

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Your review is appreciated @lmaster ! I wanted to splurge and try this mask but I guess that I’ll pass ! I’m glad that it did moisturize your skin despite the alcohol and weird fit ! Masks that move around are so frustrating!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for this review, @lmaster! I've been curious about the Tatcha ones, but I'm not loving that price point for something that isn't flat-out amazing. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@quspork exactly, a little bummed but hey at least I can search out cheaper ones

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster I've been wondering about this mask and so glad to see your review. Sounds like one I might pass on because of cost and fit. I like a lot of Tatcha products,  I do hate when you have to adjust the mask the whole time!! Thanks for great review!!☺

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yep absolutely! @yankeefaithful the soft skin was nice, but not worth the price

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for your thoughts @lmaster! I'm pretty sure I have this one in my stash. Soft skin sounds nice but pretty pricey if that's the only thing really going for it.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes @veronika23 I love tatcha, but there are cheaper alternatives out there

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

yeah sometimes it's just not worth the price! @lmaster

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for your review @lmaster, I was pretty curious about this one! I guess when. mask reaches a certain price point there are some expectations and this doesn’t sound like it met them. I wonder if a thinner mask would have worked better🤔

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Well, maybe @eshoe it was a pretty thin mask to begin with, I was thinking something in the serum, how silky it is 🤷

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I tried to use this mask last night as but my face just was not having it 😞  A few mins in I started feeling a burning sensation so left it on a little longer to see if it would go away but nope. So took it off and my face was a little red so I rinsed the serum and just applied regular moisturizer. Felt better in the am. 

 

I wanted to like this mask because of the coconut and wanted to give my face some extra moisture. Guess not with this one. 

 

Not sure which of the ingredients wasn't working for me - maybe the fragrance. It did have a scent to it when I opened it but not a fragrance like more of a chemically like. I dont usually have sensitive skin but I do remember trying some Lancome products and my face reacted with their stuff which I assumed was the fragrance. I couldn't stand the scents either because of my nose sensitivity.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@GalPalVal17, I’m so sorry you had this expierience with the mask! 😱 Glad you took it off when you did. Are you by chance allergic or sensitive to salicylic acid? I ask because this mask contains willow bark extract which contains salicin and is an alternative to salicylic acid. 

I've noticed a burning sensation when I use certain produ...

I've noticed a burning sensation when I use certain products before masking @GalPalVal17 sorry you had such a painful experience! sometimes it's just not worth it

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

So sorry for the bad reaction @GalPalVal17. 😞  Glad your skin was good by morning!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh no, @GalPalVal17! I’m so sorry this one wrecked such havoc on your skin😱 I’ve tried the Fruits Gelato Brightening one and love it. I do wonder if the culprit is the coconut. My daughter has redness and burning with some coconut products, though not all. Hope your masking this weekend has a better outcome😊!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe I’ll definitely have to pay more attention when using coconut products to see if that may be what it is. Thanks for the tip

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I’m sorry that this mask irritated your skin @GalPalVal17 ! I’ve tried some Lancôme creams that my mother uses and they irritate my skin too ! I think it’s the added fragrance that’s used in their very fragranced products! 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I got the Dreamskin Sample bag, which included the #LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original, I've been using it for the last 4 nights and 'though it has removed the dead skin, it has not left my lips soft.  I still need to use a lip moisturizer. 

 

Yay!  I just noticed I'm now a rookie 3, with this being my 200 post according to the profile bubble.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@byme4u - I am still trying to figure out my thoughts on this lip mask. I appreciate the smooth texture but yep, I agree that it may not be moisturizing enough. Thanks so prompting this discussion with other ways to use it.

 

@cianni - that's so interesting yet also so strange on Laneige's part. I just double checked the Details and How to Use and neither mention using it on top of another product. If that's what the company intended they should add it to the product packaging as opposed to a secret shared by their reps. I appreciate you passing it along.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@ShortErica ohh, that’s so weird! I honestly never even really read the directions because I had spoken to her. I feel like an insider with cool info now LOL
