I'm wanting to try that . It was sold out when I tried to purchase it from the sale. Another time. @GeorginaBT

@emaisgr8, if you're still interested, there's a mini version of the Laneige Cream Skin available - . A little of this product goes a long way so the mini would be a great way for you to try it and you'd get a good amount of product as well. @GeorginaBT

My May Favourites, again I just don’t want to gather things to take a picture lol

I love, maybe too much lol 😆 it does say DAILY.
Why didn’t I discover you before?
Stress break outs who? No more with this little sucker.
Ran out of my other retinol and I’m a DDG sucker. I love it so far.
Because why not? It was a grand idea and took me an entire day.

Your favorites this month are lovely @SportyGirly125! I'll definitely be looking into the Philosophy hand creams - they have so many great scents in the range. Did you see that the Fresh Rose sleeping mask is now available in a mini?

Re: Monthly Favorites: May 2020 Edition!

itsfi — Thu, 21 May 2020 18:24:07 GMT

Now I want to try that DDG serum even more @GG84! Is the serum scented?

P.S. I was late to the game in discovering the Jack Black lip balms too, but I quickly made up for it by picking up several of the different flavors. 😉

@itsfi

I don’t like scented skincare so I had to actually go open it to check, I hadn’t noticed a scent but if you deeply inhale there is an ever so light “fresh” scent I can’t put my finger on. But honestly I didn’t notice it and I’m halfway through my bottle.

@emaisgr8

I was about to say about the mini size @itsfi mentioned. That's what I wanted to buy during the sale but it had completely disappeared then for some reason - I ended up buying the big size instead. So far, it is really nice imo - so if you still want to try it out, the mini size might be a great option for sure. 😉

@SportyGirly125 I may have asked you this already but please tell me about the lip balm. I love hearing what others are liking about it! Also, those PTR patches, I have been considering getting the 24K Gold Collagen Snail Gel patches from Mizon in lieu of something more expensive, would you say they’re all the same or do the PTR ones stand out for you?

Re: Monthly Favorites: May 2020 Edition!

lnum — Thu, 21 May 2020 18:42:16 GMT

@GG84 Totally stand by sanitizing products to help prevent breakouts. I didn’t know Sephora carried this which makes it easier than ordering directly, definitely going in my next order next week, since I already ordered this morning. 😅

SportyGirly125 — Thu, 21 May 2020 20:47:38 GMT

@lnum If you are sensitive to smell I wouldn’t recommend the Fresh rose lip balm. Also it doesn’t come with a scoop like the Laneige and tatcha one does. Other than that, the balm glides on the lips so smoothly and keeps them hydrated for hours. I hope they come out with a squeeze tube for better travel. I never tried the eye patches you mentioned. I have tried some other cheaper ones but didn’t like them as much. This is the third time I have bought the PTR ones.

@itsfi I totally forgot to include the hand cream last month but I saw @quspork mention it In her empties. We are both currently using the pomegranate one right now. I have all the scents except for the coconut guava one she had that I need to get. Also, good to know the Fresh mask has a mini size because the full size is made of glass and is heavy.

Re: Monthly Favorites: May 2020 Edition!

SportyGirly125 — Thu, 21 May 2020 21:13:02 GMT

@lnum @I have the sanitizing spray and it works great or you can always put 70-80% alcohol in a spray bottle

Spoiler

I’m currently still shopping my stash before I’m allowing myself to use any of the new products I’ve purchased since the quarantine. My job is unlikely to open until January so I really want to reduce the amount of products I have and create a more spacious feeling home with less things!

O’Keeeffe’s Healthy Feet - Between all the barefoot activities such as Pilates and yoga, sandals, heels, planter pain, my feet were wrecked. I know feet can be an unpopular and embarrassing topic, but I don’t care! Quarantine allowed me a chance to heal mine. This, a prescription strength corn/wart remover from my podiatrist, and multiple pumice stones helped me achieve baby soft feet in two and a half months.

Dior Creme de Rose - HG lip balm I still reach for. This is my last container and I’ll mourn it forever.

Herbivore Bakuchiol - I’ve had great results with this and I’m all for bakuchiol over retinol for my skin. Sad it’s discontinued.

Tatcha Indigo Hand Cream - I get eczema and Tatcha’s Indigo line is one of the few products I can use that feel like a luxury and treat it without irritating. With all the hand washing I needed to bust this out! This is a lovely hand cream, I wish it were less expensive, that’s the only reason I don’t buy it often.

Since haircuts are out my fine wavy hair is sad and flat. I typically use this in the weeks before a trim (every 3-4 months), but lately I use it once a week regardless to help get some voluminous wave action happening again.

This was a total surprise favorite! I had no expectations yet found myself reaching for this over and over, even preferring it over my Glamglow supermud. So purifying without drying!

@SportyGirly125 Ooooo that lip balm! Can never have enough - might have to look into this one. I love how Fresh's rose products smell.

@GG84 HA glad you noticed. ❤️ Want to make sure nobody forgets! 😉

Re: Monthly Favorites: May 2020 Edition!

GeorginaBT — Thu, 21 May 2020 23:25:39 GMT

@emaisgr8 Also echoing @itsfi - a little really does go a long way. I've been working through this full size bottle since last November (?), and still have a long way to go... which is great! The mini size is a great option. 🙂

Thank you @GG84. 🤗 A light fresh scent I can handle. I’ve been interested in this line but didn’t get a chance to look into it when stores were open. I may just go for it when I get through a couple of my serums.
