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.

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!

[eshoe]

Hope you are feeling better today, @keana1 😊🤗

[keana1]

I feel great today @eshoe ! No more migraine! 🤩

[eshoe]

I’m very glad to hear that @keana1 🙂

[Shosh85]

@keana1  Sorry to hear you haven't been able to post reviews! I'm still having problems here and there too! This sounds silly, and it might not help you, but maybe someone else – I always have to tap the little "bell" notification symbol in order to "heart" or post anything. I'm on my phone though. 🤷‍♀️ It sounds like whether you're on a phone/tablet  or laptop/computer, a lot of people are still having issues. I hope things start working better for you soon! 🤞

[keana1]

It seems to work today @Shosh85 since I’m able to reply to your post without any problems! I usually use my iPad since it’s very user friendly compared to my laptop! 

[Shosh85]

@keana1  I'm glad you can post! I don't even try to use my laptop anymore, because it seems to give me more problems than my iPhone! 🤷‍♀️🤔

[keana1]

I only use my laptop to file my taxes @Shosh85 ! Which I hate doing, everyone hates filing their taxes ! 🤬 ! In the province of Quebec we have to file provincial and federal taxes which is a double 🤬🤬 ! I think that in the USA, you only have to file federal taxes?

[Shosh85]

@keana1 We have to file federal and state taxes! Taxes are definitely no fun!

[keana1]

Bummer @Shosh85 ! 🤬🤬

[veronika23]

Thanks for the review @cianni ! I picked this one up when it was on sale. Another one I can't wait to try. 😄

[Shosh85]

@cianni  Oooh, thanks for the awesome review! I found this mask at TJ Maxx and have yet to use it! It's nice to know what to expect! Sounds pretty good! 👍😊

[cianni]

@Shosh85  yeah it was pretty nice! My skin feels pretty soft and hydrated even now, a few hours later ☺️

[itsfi]

Love your review @cianni! 💗 Now I know what to expect when I use this mask. I agree, 20 minute masks present a challenge to use in the mornings. 

[cianni]

@itsfi I always think I’ll have time in the morning but then.... nope 😂 I hate to use a brightening mask at night though, I like to take advantage of the “just freshly masked” glow haha

[itsfi]

@cianni, completely understand that! For me, it’s also harder to get up earlier in the winter to mask - I just want to stay under try covers for as long as I can. 🛏 I will at times divide my brightening masks into 2 different piles - ones that are 5-10 minutes and then the ones that are 15+ minutes. The former I use in the mornings and the latter I use for before a night out or a special occasion. 

[eshoe]

Thanks for your thorough review @cianni! I missed out on the Weekly Wow (that Charcoal Puddig sold out in <6 hours) and I’ve heard only good things about this one. It pops up at my TJ Maxx once in awhile so I will have to pick it up next time😊

[cianni]

@eshoe  Yeah definitely do! I picked it up on WW but not sure I would spend $11 CAD on just one regularly (especially when I see 3 packs of Farmacy for $10 CAD every once in a while at winners!). That sucks about the pore pudding. It seemed to stay in stock for a while when it was on Canadian WW, but it hasn’t been back in stock since 🙄

[sonnydee]

@eshoe  Can you post the 2019 mask challenge schedule for me. I've just dug thru 31 pages & couldn't find it. 🤯 I like to plan/see what i got for the next weeks challenge.....#BIGstashproblems

[eshoe]

Here it is @sonnydee , I will PM it to you as well😉 ETA can’t send PM’s right now🙄
