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.
Congratulations, @naturalooks15 ! Love to read the reviews!
Thanks for the review @naturalooks15 ! Have you ever used Kate Somerville ExfoliKateโข Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash with AHA & Enzymes 4 oz/ 118 mL or INDIE LEE - Brightening Cleanser? I know those are more chemical than physical exfoliation oriented but the KS is my staple cleanser and I've been on the lookout for a cleaner replacement
@Brutalitops I havenโt used either of those. Any reason you want to switch up the cleanser?
I would compare wishful to Tatcha rice polish in some ways. When you initially mix rice polish with water, itโs the same texture though rice polish you rub between your hands and it becomes creamy foam with no grit. This one is paste so it still has some coarse texture by the time you put it on face. After you add more water and scrub it becomes softer.
performance (as in results/ brightness) also felt similar to Tatcha rice polish.
ETA: instructions say, apply it on clean face so my assumption is this doesnโt replace cleanser. Rather replaces exfoliating toner in the routine.
OOOOoo @naturalooks15 I did/do really like the rice polish. And I'm just looking for a gentle daily exfoliation step that's got better ingredients than the KS but I wasn't a huge fan of the indie lee is all
Thanks for the review @naturalooks15, that scrub sounds great!
@faeriegirl Yeah, pretty good first impression. Plan to use it 2x this week and see.
I did get dry patches the next day but I generally get them from most exfoliant plus I was outside (and it was snowing) for quite a bit of time so canโt say for sure that this caused those dry patches. When I try this week, it would be usuals environment so I would have better idea.
Great review @naturalooks15 this makes me more excited to try it.
@sprocketta Yay ! Let me know how you like it.
@naturalooks15 - Thanks for such a detailed review and pics!
Iโm VERY excited and grateful to receive these brand new Sephora PRO beauties in the mail today! Iโm also very sleepy right now (this is way early for sleepiness, for me; I donโt normally even think about going to bed until 1 AM CT), so I canโt play with them tonight no matter how badly I want to (I WANNA PLAAAAAAYAAAAAAWN ๐ :()โbut Iโll start using these soon! Maybe even tomorrow! If nothing else, the no. 96 blush brush will see action tomorrow.
Here are some quick comparisons to a few other brushes in my collection. The old Sephora PRO no. 64 is quite different from the new 70, but I included it anyway. The blue brush is a Chikuhodo Fuji Makie contouring brush Iโve never used, because I donโt contour. I included it for scale. ๐ The big thick brush in that photo is the Koyudo powder buffing brush I use to apply powder foundation (on the rare days I wear any) an/or finishing powders. Iโll try the new no. 70 with powders, plus give it a try with one of my tinted moisturizers.
Thank you so much, @TeamBIC ! Iโm sure Iโll dream of doing my makeup with these brushes tonight. ๐
Congratulations @WinglessOne. And oh my goodness, those blue Chikuhodo brushes. Ahhhhh!
Thanks for all the photos @WinglessOne! And congrats!
Wow @WinglessOne what a great collection you have and congrats on the awesome gratis! ๐
Thanks everyone! And congrats to everyone else who received these brushes! Iโve decided to let them unfurl in a brush holder for 24 hours before using them. ๐
Meanwhile here are a few more comparison photos:
