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.

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.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you so much, @bakeamuffin!! I actually really prefer not to use these peel-off masks– they have usually felt too harsh, but this one was super gentle.👌 I even did a precautionary cringe as I started to peel– but totally didn’t have to, haha! 😂👍

If you liked the Sephora Rose Mask, you’d definitely like this Creme Shop one! I love the rose smell 🌹😊 and I’m with you– my skin has always done well with rose products too😉

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  You make a great Tin Woman!  🙂  I'm impressed that the GlamGlow mask came off in one piece?!?!!  I have that Rose Water Face Mask from my first order from The Creme Shop that I have yet to use - it sounds like I need to pull that out sooner rather than later and give it a go.  Great reviews; thank you!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Haha! Thank you very much, @itsfi! I kinda have a thing for the Wizard Of Oz and the Tin Man happens to be my favorite character, haha! 😂👌

Yes, I peeled it off in one piece– there’s always little bits here and there around the edge of my face that I still have to rub off– but for the most part it looked like a silver mask when I peeled it off 🎭😉

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Getting a jumpstart on next week’s challenge with the REN Glycol Lactic Renewal Mask, a favorite of many on this thread, and closing out this week’s hydration challenge with Blithe Intensive Mask Abalone, which claims to provide ultra-hydrating and anti-polluaging benefits.

Gotta say, this Blithe mask would be really nice for those with dehydrated skin like mine, or those with dry skin, or for use after a peel or in the winter months.  Other skin types could use this mask as well, but I’d recommend wringing out some of the essence first, as there is a good amount of essence in the mask and even more in the pouch. 

The mask is very hydrating and moisturizing and feels cool and refreshing on the face; there’s a scent to it, but the best way I can describe it is that it smells clean, fresh.  Interestingly, unlike the other sheet mask from this line (the sea cucumber one), the material for this sheet mask was on the thinner side as far as sheet masks go.  The mask adhered very well to my face and only needed a few tweaks for fit, mainly at the lips and both corners of the eyes.  I left it on for well over the recommended 15-20 minutes and my skin felt incredibly soft afterwards!  I picked this one up online at Urban Outfitters a while back but I’ll repurchase once I locate an online retailer that stocks this mask – this’ll come in handy in the wintertime. 

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Great choices @itsfi! 😄 How is your skin looking and feeling this morning after this duo?! 

I still need to try this ren mask, it sounds like a keeper! 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

My skin looked clear and felt super soft and supple @bakeamuffin🙂  Super happy with the results from the REN and the Blithe mask.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi I see that REN mask all the time now and it sounds great! – one of these days I’ll finally try it!

The Blithe Mask sounds like something I’d really like! I love a good hydrating mask! I’ll have to look out for these! 👍

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  REN makes some great skincare products; I think there's only been one product of theirs that I've tried that I wasn't fully on board with.  Every so often, Sephora will have a set with a DS of this glycol lactic mask, or REN will have a sampler kit with this mask and other popular products from the brand. 

 

I've found that Blithe has some good products for hydration; Sephora carries a limited selection of items from the brand.  If I see the Blithe mask available from an online retailer, I'll tag or PM you.  🙂 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 @itsfi I've also heard really positive things about the mask--I've never honestly tried anything from Ren but there are several products that I'm interested in trying.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@CookieGirl1  @Shosh85  REN has so many great products to choose from, but if you were wanting to try only one REN product, my first rec would be the glycol lactic radiance mask.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi The only REN product I’ve tried was the Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic– and I sort of had mix feelings about it. 

I’ve been hearing great reviews on the REN mask for awhile now– it  is definitely on top of my list of things to buy! 👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi Thanks for the rec!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Ending the weekend with this refreshing sheet mask.

IMG_8843.jpg

I like how cooling this mask feels when I put it on.  My skin feels refreshed when I remove it.  I just work in the remaining serum when the time is up.  

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This looks like a fab mask @mishanyc!  A refreshing sheet mask is a great way to end the weekend!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@mishanyc I don’t think I’ve seen these yet! This sounds like a great one! What is the brand of this mask? I usually enjoy products with pomegranate! –what does it smell like?

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 My friend's mother visited from Korea and brought a stash of goodies.

IMG_8856.JPG

I took a photo of the back in case this helps.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This is helpful! Thank you very much, @mishanyc! 👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 You're welcome.  It has a slight citrus fragrance.  Nothing too heavy.  If you explore the brand let me know what you get!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Mixture of this week’s challenge and next week 🙃

Started my masking marathon with Exfolikate. Really like this treatment / exfoliant. I’ve almost used it up and I probably won’t repurchase because it’s pretty expensive. But, if there’s a crazy good deal at the Anniversary sale I might... 😉 After sloshing away dead skin I masked my nose, cheeks, chin, and jaw with Glamglow Supermud. I’ve had this for about 10 months and I’m really surprised it hasn’t dried up yet. The squeeze tube does a good job at keeping the product fresh! I think the drying process of showing where your pores are clogged is a little gimmicky but I like the deep clean results after using. Then, lastly (for now at least!) I used the Lab tube of Origins Dragon Fruit all over. It’s such a smoothing and cooling mask that offers a lot of moisture. I left it on for probably an hour then washed it off to bright and clean skin 🤗

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This is a great trio, @scott1201

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@scott1201  What a great trio of masking!! I bet your face is feeling really nice! I need to get my Exfolikate out and use it! Thanks for reminding me!!😊
