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!

@sonnydee, GlamGlow is excellent for those pesky little whiteheads. Zaps ‘em good! 😃

[lmaster]

two days of masking, first I tried from @itsfi nature planet blending herb tea, idk what it is about the scent of tea but I absolutely am loving it! then last night I tried this nourishing peony and honey. both were perfect and fit very much above average. the scent on both were not overwhelming, but subtle and calming. left each on for 20 min and pressed the remaining serum into my skin. would definitely use both again 😍

[veronika23]

Sounds wonderful @lmaster. I love when the scent isn't overwhelming!

[lmaster]

@veronika23 yep those subtle scents after the most relaxing, in my experience 😍

[veronika23]

Nice @lmaster 🙂

[eshoe]

The peony and honey mask sounds so nice @lmaster, maybe even in the fridge chilled for warmer spring days🤔🌷

[lmaster]

@eshoe ooooo those distant memories of nice warm weather lol great idea!

[eshoe]

@lmaster I saw somewhere today a mini beauty fridge...I think I have a new goal for 2019! 

[lmaster]

That would be awesome! @eshoe

[itsfi]

@lmaster, I find tea to be calming and relaxing. Love the smell of (most) teas. Glad to hear the mask worked well for you. 😃 The peony and honey mask sounds wonderful! Will need to put that one on my list! 

[lmaster]

Tea is one of my new favorite scents! @itsfi 😊

[eshoe]

Hi everyone! @Aaliaa gave me the ok to post this on the OP but I can’t access it, so here it is, should be updated sometime soon. Thank you for all the suggestions, every one was used😊 Can’t wait to mask in the New Year with BIC!

The letter of the week can represent a brand, an ingredient, the name of a mask, etc. The main purpose of including it is to have more opportunities to use masks that may not fit in with the theme of the week. In other words, to have more fun!
