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.

RE: Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for reminding me to pick up more YTTP serum. That stuff makes my skin glow and it dries so quickly.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hi Beauties,

It's my favorite time of the year...pumpkin spice season. My two current obsessions are pumpkin pancakes from trader joe's (so, so good and yummy) and this pumpkin spice chai latte brightening clay mask by by nature (it's a skincare brand from new zealand). I love a good morning masking session and this mask smelled just like pumpkin spice cream.

 

Stay Gorgeous,

Penelope

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@PenelopeBT Pumpkin Pancakes?! That sounds delicious, we don’t gave a Trader Joes here but I’m going to have a look around my

grocery store to see if they have something similar! 😄 🎃 The pancakes and the Pumpkin Chai Late Mask look like great things to have on hand for the fall season, it’s so much fun to embrace it! 🍂🍁 

oh that looks and sounds amazing!!! I can literally smell...

oh that looks and sounds amazing!!! I can literally smell the pumpkin! haha @PenelopeBT thanks for sharing the yumminess

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Glad I wasn’t the only one to see the thumbnail and 👀 the Pumpkin Waffle and Pancake Mix ‘Mask’ 😂@PenelopeBT Yay for fall!!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@PenelopeBT

 Is that waffle one a mask?!?! Sounds like something I want to eat!! Is Trader Joes like a grocery store?

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@GG84 Trader Joe's is a grocery store and that's pumpkin pancake and waffle mix, not a mask. lol I was eating yummy pumpkin pancakes while wearing a clay mask. Sounds like a good idea, though...

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@PenelopeBT  Sounds perfect to me!! Pumpkin pancakes and masking!! Genius!!😉👌

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Haha @PenelopeBT well it all makes sense now 🙈

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@PenelopeBT, both of those items look sooooo good!!! Perfect for fall! 🍂  I’ve never heard of the by nature brand but I will be looking them up! 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi Yay, I love fall! I love discovering new masks and brands as well which is why this is one of my favorite threads. 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Last night's masking for the weekly challenge:

Faceshop, Laneige, and DE Protini Beauty Sleep SmoothieFaceshop, Laneige, and DE Protini Beauty Sleep Smoothie

Spoiler
Faceshop's The Solution Nourishing sheet mask was the first I have tried from this brand (thanks @itsfi!) and I am excited to try more. The fit was near perfect and the serum had a light scent that was refreshing. I left it on for close to 30 minutes, when it began to dry down (would have left it longer as it was so pleasant). True to the name, my face felt nourished and well-hydrated. Loved this one!  

I've been waiting to try out the Framboos-Protini blend some others here have mentioned, and unfortunately hadn't written down whether or not I could leave it on overnight. I went to the brand's site after searching through the masking thread for a bit to see if it had any suggestions, and found this recipe:

IMG_2192.jpgTop left, Protini, right, Marula, bottom, FramboosTop left, Protini, right, Marula, bottom, Framboos

I was excited as I had a Marula Oil sample I've been using quite sparingly, so I could make this little blend!

It was pretty goopy and I wasn't so sure it would absorb into my skin enough before I went to sleep. I was wrong - for the most part it was, however it remained tacky overnight. I was pretty curious how my skin would look, and found it quite smooth and soft. It even appeared bright despite a lack of sleep! @bakeamuffin, I'm guessing you have already tried this blend, if you have, what did you think of it and do you use it regularly? I've been looking through the holiday sets now for these three so I can try it out a few more times. I was very impressed with how my skin looked and felt.
 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

This looks like a great evening skin prep @eshoe

 

I’m a little miffed to say I haven’t tried Protini yet 😳 I haven’t had a chance to truly Protini and Shaba, and the Juju and Peke bars 😢 

I do however use the Marula and TLC combo every night and docfund it to feel tacky until I apply Lala on top and then it just feels normal, I wonder if it would feel differnet ifnhou applied Protini on top of Marula and TLC or if Protini has a tacky finish in it’s own as well? 

The Marula really helps the other ingredients penetrate deeply into the skin and should help to tone down the tackiness a little bit, I find DRUNK ELEPHANT - T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum and DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firma™ Day Serumto both dry down tacky while Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury  Face Oil 1 oz/ 30 mLand Drunk Elephant B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz/ 50 mL to feel super Hydrating and Moisturizing. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you so much for the feedback and info, @bakeamuffin! I haven’t tried the B-Hydra yet but am planning to pick up the Rescue Party Kit for the FFS and it is included. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

That kit looks so amazing @eshoe,

I hope you’ll enjoy it!

My only other advice is to go slow in introducing each item into your routine, I’ve read so many jump in full force and the sudden change of products can really surprise the skin. 

The DE website has so much good info but it looks like you’ve taken your time to look around there for lots of great info ☺️

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you for the heads up, @bakeamuffin. I actually only used that recipe from their site but I intend to look around and learn more about the different ways to use their products. It’s a little revolutionary for me;)

this is so cool @eshoe @bakeamuffin

this is so cool @eshoe @bakeamuffin

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe  This sounds like great masking!! It's always nice when a sheet mask fits nice and delivers results! The Faceshop mask along with DE smoothie was a great mix for you!! Thanks for sharing!!😊

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

It’s such a relief, @yankeefaithful, especially when you are in a hurry or just plain tired. I am definitely going to try out more from this brand😊

thanks for the info on the sleep smoothie! I've never tried anything like that, so I appreciate the education @eshoe 🙂

Re: thanks for the info on the sleep smoothie! I've never tri...

It totally opened my eyes, @lmaster-I wasn’t expecting to find a ‘recipe’ just info on how to use individual products or maybe mixing two at most. Eye opener!
