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.

Thanks @eshoe for putting this together!

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!!

SkinFood Egg White Pore Mask was up on deck last night. I thought it went on pretty smooth. It is a very thick consistency and I was worried that it would have an odd smell, but it totally did not, thankfully! It also dried very “comfortably”, which I also was not expecting. By the looks of it, I was gearing up for a “stiff face”. But I had full movement and was able to talk and smile without my face cracking. Huge plus! I actually thought it was a pretty relaxing mask, so....I was incredibly disappointed with the results. This mask just overall did not do it for me. I didn’t feel there was any remarkable results at all, and I am not sure if it really did anything at all for my pores. But, I will continue to use it until it is finished...maybe my feelings for it will change...if not, the good news is that it wasn’t expensive!

[Llamamama2]

I’m glad that you reviewed this @KrishAtl. I was tempted to buy this one but think I will skip it. I have a new found love for their sheet masks though!

[Llamamama2]

Well I was at yet another Marshalls today because my younger son grew out of all his summer clothes from last year and refuses to wear his older brother’s hand-me-downs. He also insists on only wearing Nike, Under Armor, and Addidas. But that’s not the point. The point is, in addition to my recent Sephora addiction, I am now obsessed with masks. So I dragged my son to the beauty section and picked up a Skin Food marine food gel mask. It is the “oyster” one, meaning it has oysterextract in it, which kind of grossed me out. But I’m down for trying new things for the sake of beauty. This is also a sheet mask, and you leave it on for about 20 minutes or so and don’t rinse off afterwards. This was a great mask. It left my skin soft and moisturized. I’m definitelygetting into sheet masks now. I’ve included a lovely pic of me in the mask below 😄.

[Aaliaa]

It looks like that mask fits you really well @Llamamama2.

[Llamamama2]

It did @Aaliaa. I think it gives me an excuse now to buy more Skin Food sheet masks! My next brand to try will be Leaders. We’ll see if those beat the competition.

[Aaliaa]

Good choice, I've tried a few leaders masks and I really like them

[mermadelove]

@Llamamama2 I think the lot of us storming Marshall’s and TJ’s for masks is going to tilt their numbers so much that they’ll start offering more masks...... Yay for us!!!😂🤣😂

[RachFace2921]

I like that the sheet is more transparent.  Probably just optics, but it looks lighter and easier to keep on.  Great find @Llamamama2!

[Llamamama2]

It was definitely easier to keep on @RachFace2921. The mask was divided into two separate parts, maybe that’s why. It was also a much thicker material.

[RachFace2921]

Inspired by the flurry of Creme Shop masks that have been appearing on BIC, I used my Deer Diary peppermint mask.  I'm not a huge sheet mask fan, because I find them hard to keep on, and I'm very paranoid about getting product in my eyes.  The eye holes were pretty well placed so no issues there, and it stayed gripped to my skin fairly well (I was also laying down while wearing it -  a rarity). 

The peppermint scent is nice and very natural / not overwhelming.  It has a very subtle tingling feeling while on, and the serum absorbed into my skin really well and didn't stay tacky. 

Sheets won't become an every day staple for me, but given the price point and performance, I'm sure I'll impulse buy more from the Creme Shop in the future!What better way to welcome spring than with an Xmas themed mask?!?!

[KrishAtl]

On my gosh SOOO CUTE @RachFace2921!! I want it!!! Can’t wait to hear your review. What a great idea for holiday gifts/white elephant party gifts!

[Shosh85]

Oooh, I saw a peppermint one, but not the holiday-themed one! Peppermint sounds like it would be refreshing. 🤗 I’m glad you had good results! @RachFace2921 😉

[curlychiquita]

@RachFace2921, Y'all are making me want to buy Creme Shop masks now!

[KrishAtl]

Seriously! We need to start a Creme Shop thread!! Lol!!

[mermadelove]

@KrishAtl   LOLOLOLOL!!! Truth!!!!

[mermadelove]

I bought some of these as gifts at holiday time. I love their themed masks! @RachFace2921
