A place to say thank you, provide reviews and first impressions, or follow up on gratis received after more use!
Many of us have been very lucky to receive gratis (thanks Sephora!), and Iโve been finding that while itโs easy to initially post about receiving it and initial reviews, itโs not as easy to follow up!
I thought maybe we could have a dedicated thread to follow-ups and reviews with products weโve received after weโve been using them for a while, especially because itโs sometimes hard to find the original thank you and first impressions threads.
I really like the stain these tints leave; congrats on receiving this fun gratis @Loretta55! ๐
Thank you very much @itsfi. These tints truly leave the prettiest stain. Once I finished my dinner last night, I just added a thick layer of balm and I was good to go.
Happy Valentine's Day, @Loretta55 ! Congratulations on receiving this Gift!
That sounds like a tasty test of the product.
I realize that I live in an area where fresh bagels are readily available but if anybody could purchase Thomas bagels Everything, they seriously could compete with any freshly baked bagel. I will gladly sign up to be a tester of lip products and give an honest review @tsavorite. Whenever I travel to a city, I always love trying local foods and have found many new favorites.
@Loretta55 @Congratulations on receiving this gratis
Congratulations @Loretta55 โค๏ธ , they smell so good.
Congrats, @Loretta55! This is such a sweet gratis!
Thank you @quspork. I am having fun with these.
Congrats on receiving this wonderful gratis @Loretta55! I initially thought I was going to like Flamenco the best, but I have actually found myself reaching for Cha Cha Cha more. Which do you prefer?
I do not favor one over the other yet @mrsmouse . I like both colors. Next time I am in store I want to swatch the other colors especially Salsa.
Congratulations to you on your gratis @Loretta55 !
A thank you and a gratis update. Tagging @naturalooks15 who I think wanted to know my updated thoughts on F-Balm.
First: aww, thank you @TeamBIC for the Valentineโs Day surprise! You know this lipstick junkie will absolutely put both of these to the test this weekend. For now, I can say the cherry scent surprised me but Iโm not mad at it! While swatching, I kept sniffing the wand. ๐
Next: Iโve now used Drunk Elephant F-Balmโข Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask 1.69 oz/ 50 mL enough times to say Iโm underwhelmed. Iโve tried it at night with various facial oils, 2 different cream moisturizers, and on its own (no oil or cream underneath), plus once during the day applied after my usual AM Herbivore Emerald CBD + YTTP Superfood Moisturizer combo. It always feels like a hydrating splash of water when first applied; then itโs sticky for a while; and then itโs just kinda non-existent. Itโs not moisturizing enough on its own for even my oily zone, let alone my dry zones.
Iโm grateful for the Sephora gratis and the lack of typical breakout/bad reaction I get with Drunk Elephant products. But the only way I get much benefit from F-Balm is by layering it over an oil and/or a cream moisturizer (which is kinda how DE meant for it to be used anyway, as a last step)โand even then, I donโt get nearly enough of a moisturizing boost for this product to earn a spot on my skincare carousel.
Still, Iโll hold onto this bottle and try it again when temps warm up. I want to see if F-Balm performs better in much warmer weather. Itโs no match for Chicago winter, not even one this mild compared to the deep freeze we normally get. For winter, Algenist GENIUS Collagen Calming Relief 1.35 oz/ 40 mL is by far the more moisturizing product for my skin. I canโt use Calming Relief every day (it becomes a bit much for my oily zone) and probably wonโt use it in summer, but my skin loves occasional use in colder weather.
