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:

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.

[eshoe]

So sweet of @scott1201, @emaisgr8! 

[lmaster]

Awwwwwww @eshoe you so deserve some extra love!! I would love a box for skin type, that's a great idea!! I'm oily/ combo but with that said,,I'll participate in any mask box that goes around 😆

[eshoe]

Yay @lmaster! Thanks for joining in again, hugs and 💗❄️🎄!

[Kim888]

@eshoe I had so much fun doing the box with you all!!! I can't wait for the next round! A higher end one could be interesting! I do think it would be fun to have more than one going around 

[eshoe]

Thanks for the feedback, @Kim888. And thank you for joining in again, this was a great group☺️

[faeriegirl]

That scarf is so pretty! Thank you so much for starting MOTM @eshoe!

[eshoe]

Thank you @faeriegirl, I just love the scarf @scott1201 gifted me! I tend to wear a lot of neutrals so a little splash of color will do me some good:)

[ShortErica]

@eshoe you did a great job facilitating. Maybe everyone can be a little more selfish next time..but I doubt that will happen.

[eshoe]

Thank you @ShortErica, yes it would be helpful to prevent the next box(es) from morphing into monster boxes!

[scott1201]

Thank you for setting up this exchange, @eshoe 🙂 Hope you enjoy your holidays!

[eshoe]

You’re welcome, @scott1201. I really enjoyed it, too! 💗 your gifts, thank you so much:)

[missjeanie]

@eshoe  THANK YOU!!! Thanks for putting this all together and running the box for us. It’s been so much fun for me seeing what everyone picks and watching it move from masker to masker! 💜

[eshoe]

It has been, @missjeanie. I’m so grateful it went as smoothly as it did, too:)

[l8totheparty]

That is amazing work by the group!  And what a gorgeous scarf,  @eshoe !  Enjoy your gifts!  There are sooo many masks there I haven't tried 😊😊👍🏻✔

[eshoe]

I agree @l8totheparty, this group made this so much fun! I can’t wait to pick a few:)

[scott1201]

Package arrived today! Holy wow, there are a lot of masks! 

I’ll post my proposed trades this weekend 

[scott1201]

Hey guys! Below are my proposed ins and outs. As a caveat, i'm trying to get the sheer number of masks down a bit so it's not a one-for-one exchange. I do have 4 higher value masks i'm trading in. However! If one of my outs is high value and I don't realize, please let me know! I'm more than happy to adjust.

ps, thank you @faeriegirl for the sample of Replica 🙂 I've sprayed it once on myself today and i think i need it!
