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!

Ha ha ha I am glad you were amused @missjeanie, my little helper and I certainly had fun creating it😄 Yeah if you don’t like oils, the YTTP might be the best best for dry/very dry skin. I was a little disappointed to discover oils combined with it were too much, but also good to know so I could pinpoint the culprit.

[missjeanie]

@eshoe I absolutely loved the drawing, your helper did an excellent job!  I don't mind oils and do use them on occasion, I just haven't gotten into the habit/love of using them.  I tend to leave my skincare until way too late in the evening and by that time it's more of a "lets get this stuff on and get into bed" kinda situation lol

[eshoe]

@missjeanie sometimes I am eyeballing the clock at 5:30😆 My routine usually stretches out over a couple of hours but I’m taking care of things around the house, it’s never a ‘sit with cucumbers on my eyes’ type of masking.

My planner sits on the kitchen table so I can jot down notes on the scent, tackiness, etc. Then my skincare inventory book is in another room so I can also make notes there:)

[missjeanie]

@eshoe  I'm usually doing mine around 10:45/11:30 at night, I'd love to get into the habit of starting earlier.  Maybe something to work on over the summer when my schedule is a bit more consistent! 

[eshoe]

Wow that’s late @missjeanie! Most of the time I’m asleep by then😄 

[missjeanie]

@eshoe  I'm working on trying to get to bed a bit earlier.  I'm not up until around 7 in the morning so I stay up a bit later.

[eshoe]

I have a dog that howls at me to feed her around 5-5:30 some mornings and she wakes the house up, so I have to jump out of bed as quickly as possible @missjeanie 😆 When I go to bed too late the day is sooooooooo long!

[missjeanie]

@eshoe oh yes... you are up far earlier than I! lol

[yankeefaithful]

@eshoe  Great survey and results are interesting!! Even better is your comparison of the 2 masks!! Loved the drawing and your in depth review. I haven't had the privilege of trying the YTTP,  but really am enjoying the Avocado melt. I may have to back off on overnight use when the weather gets warmer and/or humid.  And thanks for the work you've done on the new thread!! We're really lucky to have you and your input on this thread!! You're awesome!!😊

[eshoe]

Thanks @yankeefaithful, it’s fun to get a little glimpse of how we are masking😊

If the Avocado Melt works for you, that’s just perfect! I am going to hold onto my sample and finish it up in the spring when it starts warming up, it’s going to be a great warm-weather mask;)

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the surveys are a lot of fun and provide really great info. 

OMG, I love the drawing!!! 😍 The “Dude” comment made me LOL! 😆 

[eshoe]

Awww thanks @itsfi , we had fun with that drawing 😂 

[veronika23]

WOW! Thanks so much for this awesome breakdown @eshoe! Very helpful. I love the pic you posted!!! So awesome! 😄  I still very much want to try both of these masks.  Thanks also for the results of the survey. 🙂 

[eshoe]

You’re welcome @veronika23 , thanks for the question! They are both great masks, I would use them almost interchangeably if I needed to.

The new thread is up, but I’m not going to tag anyone until the morning so the posts continue here for the night😉

[veronika23]

Thanks so much @eshoe! I have a lot of catching up to do. 😄

[emaisgr8]

E is for Esfolio

Spoiler

The Esfolio pearl mask claimed to add brightness and moisture. It did neither for me. Unfortunately alcohol denat is the third ingredient. Will not repurchase. 

Bite is always a favorite for me.

[veronika23]

Ahhh that's too bad! The packaging is too freaking cute!!! @emaisgr8 

[lmaster]

that's a big booooo @emaisgr8 it's such a let down to see that ingredient high on the list

[Shosh85]

@emaisgr8 Sorry to hear about the sheet mask! I see these at TJ Maxx all the time, but have not bought any because of the alcohol. 

 I agree, the Bite Lip Mask is wonderful! Glad to hear you enjoy it as well! 👍🤗

[missjeanie]

@emaisgr8 I've seen a few of these masks lately on clearance.  Too bad they are't getting great reviews.  Thanks for letting us know.  I sure do love that bite lip mask though!

[eshoe]

@emaisgr8  yep that sounds like a no-thank you mask to me 😄
