Sephora

Thank you so much! I hope I get around to using these things before holiday season.

Thanks @Mellmars1185 ! Heh, I should edit my post with another note about the mushroom whose name I always misspell (shiitake). 😄 Lotus root is one of those mild ingredients that takes on the flavor of whatever you cook it in. It’s crunchy, though not quite as much as, say, jicama… eh, it’s firm and crunchy enough to hold up well to boiling and braising. You can also eat it raw. And unless you have a fear of holes (I always forget the name of that phobia), it always looks good in dishes. It’s a great stand-in for french fries. I mean, I love fries that are crunchy outside and soft inside. But boil me some lotus root, salt it, and deep-fry it, and I’ll be a very happy camper. Some grocery chains carry fresh lotus root nowadays, so it’s gotten a bit easier to find locally. You can also buy it peeled, sliced, and frozen. It’s a good ingredient to try. 🙂

It is an "Inspired look," @Saradestin ! You look so lovely, sun-kissed as usual! I like this lipstick shade on you!

I guess everyone is different because I have found the moisture from the new Dream Coat to be a much needed improvement. And you need to use less product to achieve great results so it is a better value for me. I have used the original Dream Coat about every third shampoo for years, but have always needed to finish with an oil and/or another leave in afterwards. I always applied the Color Wow coconut cocktail after washing before Dream Coat and usually the k18 mask every third or fourth shampoo in between which has really helped keep my fine hair strong and in good condition. My sister also has fine hair and she feels Dream Coat severely damaged her hair. I believe it's because you aren't supposed to use styling products or even heat protectant before blow drying with it. Id you have thirsty hair, you should definitely try the new Dream coat. I also like the IDK 4 in 1 and I'd like to try the Antisocial dry mask. I'm grateful there are so many good products these days. My hair at over 60 years old has never looked better.Spoiler

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here. The ladies seem very friendly.

I'm slowly working through my latest Great Lakes Lacquer haul and this is "I Want to Dream".

@Abrianababb yay for joining! We're all happy to have you here 🙂

No new Member Love today...last week's was extended a couple of days instead, now expiring tomorrow night. Guess we might see a new one then? New gwp with $50 Ulta CC purchase (but they normally don't require the Ulta CC, so there's that 😋). New item number, so no spoilers  

@Samtian GALENTINE! We HAVE to meet next weekend. No ifs, ands or buts! Please DM me so I can share my cell with you ❤️
