Masks on the Move Spring V3.0

[lmaster]

It's time to get excited!! The spring 🌷🌳🌤️ version of MOTM V3.0 is in the works 🙌 Some exciting changes this round will include not 1 but 2 traveling mask packs. 😯 Yes! Double the fun this time. Instead of a random generator, we are going to try to cut shipping costs the best we can and start one box going through Canada, and one box going through each state closest to the other. Like @eshoe stated, we are in the process of gathering all the participants region to coordinate how it should best travel. So hang tight, we will update you would important information as soon as we can.

A huge thank you to @eshoe @itsfi and @ShortErica for all the effort in organizing this mask addiction creation!! 💞 The sign up link is located down below for anyone who is interested in joining the fun

Mask on the move guidelines ⭐⭐⭐👇

Spoiler

BIC'ers will start off the boxes and they will travel through the shipping order until they make it to the other person at the end. All participants agree to a turn-around of one week in order to keep the box moving forward. This means that once you receive the box, please select your trades, post on the thread, and ship to the next person within one week. 

CA participants are welcome to join again, we just need to ensure we have enough participants willing to ship in/out of the country. This will affect shipping order; other than that, order will be tentatively arranged by region to help offset shipping costs for participants.

• There will be 20 face sheet masks in the packet at all times. you can remove as many or as little as you would like; but there should always be 20 masks moving forward to the next participant. You may add in extras like eye, feet or hand masks, but they will not count toward the 20 masks (they are little bonuses😉). Let's just try to keep a good variety in the box, and if there is an ISO, please be kind and don't take it out as an extra. 'Filler' masks would be great bonus items to take out when there is an overflow. Really! Filler masks would be defined as daily masks, generally ones that can be found at TJ Maxx/Nordstrom Rack/etc. and/or are widely available.

•  How do I ship? Padded flat rate Priority envelopes are great for this, and can be ordered   for free on the USPS site. Any packaging is fine, but please take care to ensure the masks are adequately protected. A smaller package will encourage more participation, which in turn makes things more fun! Think cost-effective for those   shipping internationally. 

• Will this be open to US and Canada? Yes! As long as there is an interest and participants willing to ship, we would love to cross the border. This would be taken into consideration in the shipping order.

• Any eligibility requirements? Anyone who is has posted regularly to the previous or current thread is eligible. In addition, if you have been involved in other thread challenges on a regular basis/BIC exchanges such as Holiday, Galentine's or Halloween/traveling boxes, you are also eligible. We love new participants, please PM me if you are interested! 

• Approval: To be fair, a minimum of the person receiving the box and 3-4 others will suffice. If at all possible, please take into account any ISO's or skin type when moving the box forward.

• Mask Guidelines: The idea is to share your Favorite/Great Finds/Discoveries Masks. Please be considerate and keep in mind this is to give others (and yourself!) an opportunity to try some new and different masks. Let's not send gross masks/masks we just want to get rid of - this is to share our love of masking!

• What happens if the box gets lost? USPS provides a $50 insured value for free. If a box is lost in transit, you are responsible for shipping an additional box to the next participant. Declaring a $50 value ensures that you would be reimbursed by USPS in the event your package is lost; however this is a lengthy process and thus it would be your responsibility to keep the flow of the boxes moving by curating a new box and shipping it out as quickly as possible.

• How does the order work? We are going to try to use your location the best we can, still in process. If there are Canadian participants I would need to take that into consideration depending on how many people would be willing to ship in/out of country.

[lmaster]

The survey will come to a close this week, wanted to give all of you an opportunity to pm me with any ISOs and I can include that in the rotation list. @eshoe @sonnydee @laynebr @l8totheparty @heartsmyface @kelloua @ather @Kim888 @faeriegirl 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster   I don't have any real ISO's either, but I do try to avoid parabens and alcohol, (more concerned about parabens though)

[lmaster]

Yes @Shosh85 got it 👍😉

[quspork]

No real ISOs for me, @lmaster - I'm pretty open to try out whatever! 

[lmaster]

Sounds good! @quspork 

[Kim888]

@lmaster yay! I'm pretty open to whatever - I do love Vitamin C ones though!

[lmaster]

Got it! @Kim888 😊

[snoflakefaerie]

Hmm I tend to try to stay away from masks containing alcohol and silicones (thought I do make exceptions), but I think I'm pretty open to whatever otherwise.

[lmaster]

@snoflakefaerie me too!! I cannot do alcohol 👍

[eshoe]

ISO pretty much game for anything except masks with 🐎 fat @lmaster 😊

[snoflakefaerie]

Omg, I thought this was some inside joke I missed or something like horsetail essential oil until i looked it up. That’s a nope from me for sure.

[PrettyPaint]

Haha @eshoe. I second this. 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I'll take their horse fat 😂🐴  @PrettyPaint @eshoe

[PrettyPaint]

Haha too funny @Shosh85. 

[lmaster]

I feel like I used a mask with horse fat once @Shosh85 but... Did you know that squalene is harvested from shark livers!!

[eshoe]

@lmaster STOP ALREADY 😄

@Shosh85 @snoflakefaerie @PrettyPaint @quspork 

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  Ya know, for some reason the shark liver thing isn't bothering me too much. 🙂

[lmaster]

@PrettyPaint the only thing that concerns me,, is the safety of the shark,, are they killed to obtain this ingredient? Or is this something they can get while a shark is alive,,I need to look into it a bit further

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  That's a great point, and thanks for bringing this up. I looked it up (briefly), and unfortunately it looks like it's obtained by hunting and killing the sharks. I was hoping it was obtained by utilizing by-products/waste, but it looks like it is actually obtained through hunting. 😞  From what I can see, it looks like there are also plant-based ways to source this and a lot of companies have switched to this, so I'll definitely look into this. 

[lmaster]

@PrettyPaint now I'm wondering if the plant based product will be called the same,, or how will they label it on products uughhhh

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  It looks like a good deal of companies have switched over to plant-based in recent years. For instance, it looks like The Ordinary and Biossance definitely have. If I'm interpreting correctly, I would think the clean at sephora brands wouldn't contain it if they don't allow animal fats/oils.
