@JoSometimes Love your haulettes ❤️ Enjoy your goodies!

I’m sorry you feel like your November foils was a letdown @ather! I don’t see it that way but I know that it’s not about me when it comes to your foil usage. It’s great that you enjoyed all your foils last night. That’s definitely not always the case. Also, I’m surprised you were able to even get to any foils given everything you had going on in November. You know, the thing with having fewer foils in a particular month usually means you are using your full size or deluxe size items - that’s awesome. 👍🏼 I am looking forward to seeing what your December foils look like - with you being out of town, I imagine it’ll be an ideal time to bring a few extra foils. 😍

@AznAngelLiz I’ve tried to ignore (quickly scroll past) this thread until I receive my package, in case someone opens theirs early (and seriously, no judgment of anyone who does that) and posts spoilers. But I noticed your adorable overlord kitty’s photo while scrolling and I just could not. 😂 She’s too stinkin’ cute! 😍 Congrats to you and everyone else who receives this gratis!

@Mellmars1185 First of all, the Amika really isn't "purple" enough to do anything for my hair. My go-to is the Olaplex No. 4P Blonde Enhancing Toner Shampoo 250 mL/ 8.5 oz because it definitely does the job although it's definitely pretty drying (as I typically expect from a purple shampoo). I was honestly just using the one from Amika because it was oddly hydrating for my hair and functioned as a basic everyday-style shampoo that I could use but more recently it's just been leaving my hair feeling a little dull and lifeless and to be fair, I feel like my hair texture has changed a little bit this year so for now it's time to take a break and not repurchase it.

UPDATE: Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment @ather @faeriegirl, I used this over the weekend and am pleasantly surprised by how well it performed. This treatment is very affordably price at under $8. That said, when I say it performed well, I mean it performed well period. Not that it performed well for its price point; the results I got were better than some results I've gotten with far pricier hair treatments / masks. It's a lightweight lotion, more similar to a conditioner than a cream mask. It's meant to be applied along the length of the hair and the ends, but not the crown. I can work it through my hair easily and after rinsing it out after 10 minutes, my hair feels soft and smooth. Of late, my hair, particularly the ends, has been more dry and frizzy, with knots at the end. Just using this one time, the length and ends were smooth, felt soft and moisturized, and looked healthy, without tangles or knots, even after being out and about all day. I wasn't really expecting that but am happy with the results. The tube is on the smaller side but it is less than $8 and it's not something I'd incorporate into my hair care routine too frequently. I was thinking about the best way to fit this into my hair routine and I can see this working well as a monthly treatment coinciding with when I reach for a detox or clarifying shampoo for my scalp / crown.

Here's some of my product stand-outs or favorite discoveries from this month 🙂 cannot believe it is already December. This year has truly flown by but I am very ready for what 2024 has to bring. Tatcha Hinoki Hydrating Body Oil 3.38 oz / 100 mL a new discovery, but loving this especially for the morning time. A very light weight and a great fresh smell. Tatcha Hinoki Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash 6.8 oz / 200 g also a great add to a morning time bath or shower routine, I like the gentle exfoliation and somehow this + the oil just gives me a little serotonin boost. ❤️ 🙂 Dior Lip Glow Oil Cherry loving this new favorite, not sticky at all and the slight color transformation is perfect. I find myself reaching for this quite a bit. 🙂 Too Faced Hangover Pillow Balm Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balm Banana Kiss basically a year-round favorite when it comes to all the Pillow Balms, but the banana flavor and myself have really re-connected throughout the month of November after I cracked open a fresh tube at the beginning of the month. This one definitely is my hands-down favorite from the line ❤️ 🍌 Sunday Riley Juno Antioxidant + Superfood Face Oil 0.5 oz/ 15 mL out of all my SR face oils I've definitely made the biggest dent in this one in November. I feel like it's a great any-time boost in a skin care routine. Tata Harper Regenerating BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 4.1 oz/ 120 mL an old favorite but something I've fallen in love all over again and have been reaching for more than ever recently. NECTAR Life Nourishing Whipped Soap has been my go-to this month and a new discovery (last time I ordered I believe I got one of these in a bundle with a scrub). I love it so much I'm going to fully switch over to this as a shaving cream because it has been doing wonders for my razor bumps and sensitive skin the fact it's an amazingly moisturizing soap is just the cherry on top. 🍒 Had to stock up on a ton of these during Cyber Week. NECTAR Life Exfoliating Body Scrub another year-round favorite, found this company in Vegas a few years back because the store-front caught my attention and this scrub has been a staple in my routine ever since. For some reason the skin on my body is extremely sensitive to scrubs and some I've tried can even create a burning sensation. I've never had an issue with any of these in every fragrance available (believe I have tried them all now) and my skin feels so soft, glowy, nourished and moisturized instead of raw or dehydrated (the reaction I get to some other scrubs). Cannot say enough good things about this product, truly. Ellis Brooklyn Marvelous CBD Massage and Body Oil 1.0oz/ 30mL has been tremendous for my back, neck and shoulder pain. I'm so glad I picked this up before it left the site, I liked it so much I ended up stocking up at DermStore during Cyber Monday after it sold out it's now dropped to 50% off. Unfortunately, looks like this product (along with the entire Ellis Brooklyn CBD line) may be getting discontinued? 😕
