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.

2) PM @Aaliaa or @eshoe to make the change directly in the response spreadsheet

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.

Merry Masking!

@itsfi  So glad you got such great results with both masks,  especially the Water Replenishment!! Thought you might like that one!! I need to keep this one on hand and looks like I need to get the V7 Toning mask too!! Glad your skin feels and looks great!!😊😍

[itsfi]

@yankeefaithful, it’s just too bad I waited so long to try the Water Replenishment mask! Thank you so much for letting us know about it. 🤗 It’s fabulous. I think it would work well for all skin types too! 😃

[keana1]

WOW two A+ masks from DrJart+ , impressive @itsfi ! Great review, I’m so glad that both masks were amazing for your skin 😊 ! I have to try both of them, they sound too good not to try ! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @keana1! 🤗 The V7 was one of my go to’s for brightening and hydration and now I have another go to for hydration in the Water Replenishment mask! My dry skin thinks it’s always good to have options for hydrating sheet masks. 😉

[keana1]

So does my dry skin @itsfi ! The more the options, the better! Especially when they’re A+ masks !

Old vs New

Tuesday night I decided to compare the Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask with the Origins Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Hydrating Face Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water 2.5 oz/...wwhich is new. I applied one of the masks on the right side of my face ( the older version ) and on the left side I applied the new version. Even before going to bed, I noticed a big difference in terms of hydration and consistency between the two. When I woke up the next day the left side of my face was very hydrated compared to the right side. Both masks are great in terms of hydration but the new version is noticeably more hydrating overnight than the original one, so I give it an A+ rating and the original version an A. Once I finish my 30 ml size of the Origins Mini Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water 1 oz/ 3...I‘ll be buying the FS ! It’s also perfect for winter dry skin so I’ll keep the original version for warmer months.

Yesterday’s masking : Before masking I exfoliated my skin with the BOSCIA - Exfoliating Peel Gel, rinsed my face and exfoliated again with the Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx™ Exfoliating Peel Gel 3.4 oz/ 100 mL. After my face was well exfoliated I applied the Jouviance Detox Skin Renew Revitalizing Mask and left it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. This mask is a non-drying clay mask that contains a variety of skin loving ingredients. My skin was baby soft, glowing and plump. This mask deserves an A+. Unfortunately Jouviance has discontinued this mask ☹️ so I’m searching for a similar one !Old vs NewYesterday’s masking

[keana1]

I agree with you about using samples to compare them side to side @byme4u  !

[scott1201]

Thank you so much for this comparison - I’d been wondering! Does the new version have fragrance? That always put me off on the old one. @keana1 

[keana1]

You’re welcome @scott1201 ! I have to say that both have a very similar fragrance, sorry! 🙁

[missjeanie]

@keana1  love the half and half comparison!

[keana1]

I think it’s the best way to compare overnight masks @missjeanie ! 

[missjeanie]

absolutely @keana1 !

[lmaster]

awwwww that's the one I was eyeing @keana1 let me know if you find a good dupe would ya?

[keana1]

I’ll let you know @lmaster if I find one ! 😊

[lmaster]

Thanks so much @keana1 😘

[veronika23]

That's really good to know about the Origins @keana1! Thanks! I just bought the mini so I can't wait to try that either!

[keana1]

I only have the mini size @veronika23 . I usually try a mini size first so I can try it out, see if I get a bad reaction, and then buy the FS product only if it works great and doesn’t irritate my skin! So it’s great that you ordered the mini first! I’m sure that you’ll enjoy your new mask! Can’t wait to know your thoughts about it! 

[veronika23]

Can't wait to get to it! 😄 @keana1 

[keana1]

I received it quickly @veronika23 since it came from the Ontario warehouse! You’ll probably get it on Monday 🤞🏼!

[veronika23]

@keana1  I already have it... just haven't gotten to trying it yet because I haven't really been using new masks since I've been using new skincare and didn't want to overwhelm my skin.

[keana1]

I completely understand you @veronika23 ! I would do the same! 😉 if I was using new skincare products or a new routine! Don’t want to mess with your skin!
