Sephora

Heh @lmaster It's nice to see your handle and face again! Missed everyone a lot. Yea... I have been on top of it when it comes to polishing things off. It really is too bad I haven't be posting the empites. I have been weeding products... I've become tired of trying to use things that are not up to par, so I have been pitching them into the bin instead of trying to work with them. Been on top of this beast. It's a large part of why I sort of disappeared off of here for a bit. So much temptation! But I miss the social aspect and goodness, I've been gone so long I've been knocked down to noob status! Yikes! Thinking of going back to the lipstick challenge and mask threads. Oh heck, I miss you all!

@eshoe Why must they be so pretty?

Have you tried this one yet, @itsfi? I tried a few different angles with the scents, but only came up with fruity. Which…I will totally take over floral! It wasn’t bad at all; fun, just not what I expected based on my first (and most amazingly fruit-basket-upset-scented) mask. Learning how to find more to love than dislike over the course of masking helps me to love it more in general. So fruity works sometimes, and that is ok😉

I agree! Saving money is better. 🙂I’ve done it before too; ordered direct from a brand to save money. You get the same product for less.

@danielledanielle Aw, sorry this didn't work the way you wanted. Was your breakout a bunch of tiny red bumps (a bad reaction)? Or was it more like an acne flare on your chin (a purge)? Have you used benzoyl peroxide before with no issues? I can't use this product myself (I'm allergic to its main active), but it's on my recommendation list for someone who asked me about benzoyl peroxide products that are stronger than the one he currently uses. Last year he started occasionally using PanOxyl 4% Acne Wash (in addition to his usual 2% benzoyl peroxide product) and experienced a month-long purge on his jawline. But he stuck with it and his skin improved. Now he's looking for a leave-on that's at least as strong as that wash, to replace his 2% leave-on. Anyway, this is me rambling about the possibility of your breakout being a purge. 🙂

Thanks for the heads-up, @pocketvenus ! This is such a bummer... now I'm also curious about reformulation mandates, which seem odd because Superstitious in particular is such a crowd pleaser. Strangers still ask me what I'm wearing (when I wear it, of course). I'm not a big fan of Dries Van Noten (don't hate it by any means, it's just a bit too powdery for me), but I know a couple folks who are. Sigh... Guess I'll keep an eye out for end-of-life discounts. EL's killed some good beauty products and brands this year. And yeah, I know, "pandemic-related profit losses," but geez. 😞 I keep forgetting to look for news updates on EL brands, to get a sense of what's next on the chopping block.
