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.

Merry Masking!

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Omg @eshoe  I just ordered that sample as well!!! I’m so excited to try it now it sounds amazing! Always so distressing when you love super expensive masks 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh @Kim888 that's what I thought too! I've tried quite a few of the Omorovicza products and didn't care for them, and that suited me just fine 😄 This one though...I will be so happy to buy this one.

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes, incense! That’s the scent I was trying to figure out @eshoe! It’s been bugging me that I could identify it! I have another sample on its way to me so I can try it again, but I a feeling the Petal mask will find its way into my home this year; I think I’m going to hold out to see if they release a smaller size. 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oooh you have another sample on the way @itsfi  😄 I have been thinking about this mask all day, my skin really looks extra-glowy today, not sure if it's the mask or the new primer/foundation I'm sampling 😉 Either way, I cannot wait to have a permanent home for this mask, it is just beautiful!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe, yes, another sample and more Hurraw! lip balms. hahahaha! 🙂  I want to sample it one more time, just to make sure I like it - the scent was a little much for me last time, but it may have been because I was working through a cold at the time. A second go-round will also make me more comfortable with pulling the trigger on this one when (not if) it comes time for it! 😉 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes the scent is very powerful @itsfi; it’s defin not for those sensitive to fragrance! Curious which new scents you are picking up😉

@eshoe It sounds like that Dextox mask is a hit item. Gla...

@eshoe It sounds like that Dextox mask is a hit item. Glad you loved it. Keep us posted on if it becomes a staple in your mask stash.

Re: @eshoe It sounds like that Dextox mask is a hit item. Gla...

@IndyQT317 it is definitely going to become part of my routine just not sure when. I’m on a low buy through April at least, but I may treat myself. This mask has been OOS since it first caught my eye, maybe since last October or November? This may need to be an exception!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Hahahaha glad you are loving that petal mask @eshoe!  Did I mention to you before that when Mahalo has jars that aren't up to their standards they have a sale on them? So would be a good idea to sign up for their emails.  And while it might sound silly maybe check with Alyaka in the UK for sales too. I hope Mahalo is included in the sales at The Detox Market but I don't know... sometimes some brands are excluded when they do their % off (like Kypris). Usually their sales are 10% to 15% off depending on how much you spend. IIRC their next deal will be soon but it will be a gwp with a high buy in. I think they do those 3 times a year. One around Oct, one in early Feb (vday) and the other I can't recall. I think the next % off will be in March...  Hopefully this info can help you plan a bit better. 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thank you for all the info @veronika23! It seems that since the time this was on my radar, it’s been OOS, so I jumped on the chance to sample it. I’m wondering how long a typical batch lasts (a couple months? half a year?). After trying it I could see going through a larger jar by using it 2-3 times a week. I am pretty stingy with my layers, too, I am squeezing 2 uses out of that tiny sample😄

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

You're welcome @eshoe!  Oh man I don't remember how long it lasts for once it's open... might be good for 6 months maybe? But I really can't recall.  Awesome for getting out two uses out of that!!! 😄

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

I seem to recall you mentioning that before @veronika23. Maybe I will wait until a smaller size comes out, will be a true test of my patience 😆

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe That Mahalo mask looks fantastic! Is it creamy? It definitely looks creamy & dreamy! Those are some serious things to think about! 😂 I know I've had the same thoughts with certain masks/products! If it's truly what dreams are made of, I'd say some recalibrating is necessary! 😉😆

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

It is creamy-gooey @Shosh85, you apply it to your face and pat it in. It pulls away in a sticky kind of messy way, but this is the honey working that is supposed to be pulling the impurities out. I had to look it up on the brand’s site because It was a little odd. Here is the pic they have, and it is true to my experience; it feels like bubble gum and then it kind of sets, but it doesn’t harden.

Note the strings...

 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe tough decisions when on a low buy!  I've got to say the picture in the spoiler really has me curious, it really does look like bubble gum!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

That’s why I had to look at the brand’s site @missjeanie, it was very different. I learned from trying the Mahalo Bean mask that it’s important to read instructions first!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe ha ha... I'm horrible at reading instructions first!  I'm usually the one who reads the mask instructions after it's been on for 10 minutes to see how long I was meant to have it on for!

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe Ooh, that sounds so nice! Thanks for the info! 👍

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  I wanted to point out that it's a mask that I find has a stong scent... and even though I don't like the scent all that much (not my thing) I don't recall it ever giving me a headache. 🙂

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@veronika23 Yeah, I read that earlier, and it's the only reason I haven't rushed to buy it. I really wish I could smell things through the screen! Haha! That would be so helpful! 😂 I am just super sensitive, especially to floral type scents. Besides that, it really sounds wonderful! Thanks for the heads up!! 

Re: Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  well you can get a sample with The Detox Market if it's in stock... not 100% sure how it works because we don't have it in Canada but I think you get a few samples for a few bucks and shipping. 🙂
