ARCHIVE: Masks on the Move!

UPDATE: The new thread is up! If you are joining in, or just prefer to sit back and watch, join @lmaster at:

Spring MOTM box will be starting in mid-February. If you are interested in joining, please take a moment to complete the brief survey below prior to January 31st. ***If you have not participated in this or other BIC traveling boxes/unicorn mail, please PM me prior to completing the survey.*** We hope to see and share masks with some new faces!!!

Some pertinent info regarding the NEW double-box-in-progess set-up:

Spoiler
We will have two boxes in process this time. We are currently discussing the box composition and will update once decided what works best for the group.

Two 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. 

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.

Thank you to all who joined in the last round, we ended up with almost quadruple the original masks, which allowed me to create two new separate boxes (I also added in the extras from the first MOTM). There will be a bag of extras as usual, you all are so generous and make this so much fun!

Looking forward to February:)

Thank you @itsfi for all of your help in setting up the framework for the MOtM, and your many helpful suggestions. The entire masking community here is grateful to you!

  1. There will be 10 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 10 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 10 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
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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! 
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. How does the order work? I will use a random generator; 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.

 

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe - I may or may not have ran over to the little Asian-mosque department store to grab a couple of masks before filling out the survey on my break. My coworkers judge how excited I get about these BIC exchanges. 😅

Re: Masks on the Move!

I noticed in the survey responses that someone mentioned "Mask I can't get in Canada. Show me some US love." Can we collaborate to list some brands in the U.S. that aren't in Canada and vice versa?

Re: Masks on the Move!

I've searched for a few lately, and noticed some price points on boxes on hauls recently.  Some masks are difficult to find in Canada and/or are quite expensive off Amazon, etc.  I can't remember which ones specifically right now.

@ShortErica @eshoe @missjeanie 

Re: Masks on the Move!

Now that it is on our mind I say if the Canadians could make some notes, we could start a list @l8totheparty @eshoe @missjeanie 

 

I can help with a spreadsheet when we get some names going.

Re: Masks on the Move!

^my rising star 3 post.

Re: Masks on the Move!

Congrats @l8totheparty  :D!!!

Re: Masks on the Move!

Thanks, @eshoe !

Re: Masks on the Move!

Woot woot! You'll be go-getting it soon @l8totheparty

Re: Masks on the Move!

Thanks, @ShortErica !

Re: Masks on the Move!

Sure @ShortErica, though I’m not certain how to go about it. @missjeanie do you have any specific brands in mind?

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe I realized we have different candy bars and googled it but wasn't sure about masks. @missjeanie I'm curious about the difference in brands if you have examples.

Re: Masks on the Move!

@ShortErica @eshoe I'm not really sure how to do a list... I think we can get most of them somehow... it's just that some are a lot more expensive/take a longer route.  I know off hand that DE Babyfacial for example isn't allowed to be sold here due to ingredients, there may be other sheet masks like this.  I have some masks from different retailers on my list to pick up in the US as well.  Trader Joes won't ship here (We were just talking about US grocery stores lol).  Ordering from Ulta is a huge pain for Canadians.  Lots of duties/boarderfree issues from what I recall.  Aside from the actual Ulta house brands there may be others that are carried there that are harder to get a hold of here.  I'm still pretty new to sheet masks so Im probably not the best Canadian on this one, but as I see masks pop up I'll start checking a bit!

Re: Masks on the Move!

@missjeanie I feel new to sheet masks too 😂 I want to be more helpful but just feel inexperienced.

Re: Masks on the Move!

@missjeanie @ShortErica this would be a great idea for a thread spilling over into a spreadsheet. If one (or both) of you would like to take that on, I will include the link in the OP!

Re: Masks on the Move!

I don’t mind starting one. I’m certainly no expert, I tend to do most of my shopping from Sephora or in person for simplicities sake, but I can give it a shot next week! @eshoe @ShortErica !

Re: Masks on the Move!

@missjeanie @ShortErica that would be awesome! missjeanie the thing is you have the intel we don’t. I didn’t even know Ulta is not in CA (for the time being, anyway). Just getting it going is the hardest step!

Re: Masks on the Move!

Welcoming @quspork to the party today, too!

Really looking forward to a good variety with all the new maskers here. I will create a survey for participants to include ISO's and post by this weekend. Eta: it’s in the OP

Re: Masks on the Move!

Thank you so much for the reminder, @eshoe! I kept meaning to check back in and see when Round 2 was starting up and almost forgot! It's so exciting to see the growing list!

Re: Masks on the Move!

Yay @quspork!

Re: Masks on the Move!

@eshoe before round 2 starts can we do the request thing again? I'd love to add masks that I know people are searching for if I can.

Re: Masks on the Move!

@ShortErica I am going to create a survey for everyone that will include skin type, ISO's, preferences, etc. If there is anything else you think should be included, please let me know so I can add it in 🙂
