Cuyana semi jumping into the beauty game with a makeup gift set. I was surprised when Sephora collabed with them for the reward bazaar but makes sense now
Some new pretties from Bite Lip Lab! In person or virtual. My last experience with our local Lip Lab was wonderful and lots of fun. 💄💋
@SportyGirly125 Is this the regular Kopari melt just in a vanilla scent? Sorry if this is a silly question, I've never tried the Kopari melts yet since I use Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm but I have been eyeing it for a while and honestly a vanilla scent seems nice and basic (in a good type of way). 🙂
@QueenMarceline @Yes it’s the regular melt in a vanilla scent. I actually love the special scented ones. Also, the melt is not the same thing as the farmacy balm.
@SportyGirly125 I thought a lot of people used the Kopari as a makeup remover? I know that one of my friends who works at Sephora and swear by this stuff uses it as a makeup remover/cleansing balm.
@QueenMarceline @That’s the first I heard about using it as a cleansing balm.
@SportyGirly125 Unless I'm thinking of some other Kopari product (but I was fairly certain), like I said I haven't had a chance to use this yet so it's quite possible I may be thinking of a different Kopari item. 🙂
@QueenMarceline @SportyGirly125 Kopari Organic Coconut Melt 5 oz/ 150 mL is just a jar of 100% coconut oil. Like other oils, coconut oil can be used as a makeup remover. I know a couple folks who use Kopari Melt as step one of a double cleanse. But it's been used as a body or hair moisturizer by pretty much everyone else I know who's used it. Most of those folks now save a considerable amount of money by buying a jar of unrefined coconut oil at their local Target. 🤷♀️
@WinglessOne Thank you for the clarification! That makes sense where the slight confusion came from, it seems like some use this as a makeup remover and others as a body/hair moisturizer like you mentioned. Also, thanks for giving info on what the product actually is... I'm not a fan of plain coconut oil as a skin care product so I think this one is going to be a pass for me. Not sure why, but I envisioned this to be kind of similar to the Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm or on par with Banila cleansing balms especially with how my friend uses it, but that does not seem to be the case.
@WinglessOne Interesting. I heard not to use it because it could clog your pores.
@SportyGirly125 Lots of folks call out coconut oil as being high on the comedogenic scale. I did it too, until I wondered about the scale’s accuracy and exactly how results are determined. Of the scientific studies done to create that scale, most were performed in the '70s and ‘80s. Two studies were done in the ‘00s. Many old studies used rabbit skin (inner ear) instead of human skin. Some of the many problems with the comedogenic scale:
Thanks for this! I have been wondering about coconut oil and other oils.
@WinglessOne Wow, this is a great reference post!
Thanks @pocketvenus ! I had to dig up my various notes to pull all that info together. 😄 Gonna keep all that in one reference doc from now on.
Thinking about this topic again: avocado oil and evening primrose oil score a 3 out of 5 on the comedogenic scale, if I recall correctly. (3 = "moderately comedogenic"; 5 = "severely comedogenic. Coconut oil and cocoa butter score a 4.) One of the star ingredients in Kiehl's Since 1851 Mini Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado is avocado oil. That eye cream is a cult favorite, but I wonder how folks would react if certain groups and influencers began badmouthing it the same way as things that contain coconut oil.
Not that I think avocado and evening primrose oils are bad; my skin has no problem with them. I don't use that Kiehl's eye cream but do use e.l.f. Nourishing Facial Oil which contains avocado oil. And evening primrose oil is one of my skin's best friends and good fatty acid sources: it's in my daily retinaldehyde cream. Some people may be skin-sensitive to either of those oils, but knowing how frequently I get acne on certain parts of my face, I can say evening primrose oil hasn't increased my comedone production. Rosehip oil scores a 1 or 2 (don't recall which) on the comedogenic scale, yet I know someone who can't use it on her skin without experiencing an acne flare, so... yeah, that scale's not a good enough reason to avoid certain ingredients. Anyone using that scale to narrow down culprits should also look for info elsewhere before making a decision.
@SportyGirly125 I've found that to be true. I pretty much know immediately by the bumps that appear on my face if a product has coconut oil in it.
@SportyGirly125 Sounds promising! I have yet to find a smudge proof line for me! I always get racoon eyes!
That palette looks like it'd be really difficult to manage physically. Back when I used to leave the house, before covid, I would do my make up in the car. As such, I appreciate things that are compact and easy to open. I definitely don't need an origami palette. I'm just looking at this thinking about how much space it would take on a counter top or likewise to use. It's also an interesting choice to skip the mirror on the packaging.
