* 11-27-18, last update for the year! *

Hi everyone, We are almost to the last month of our challenge, time flew by fast! For December, sonnydee, scott1201, and eshoe have an idea for a sub challenge called “Deluxe December” Use up as many deluxe samples as you wish! As always, post your progress weekly, or end of the month- whenever you want- including foil samples too. Thanks to all contributors, (anyone can participate at any time). ❤️

Sorry for the late response, @txcatx- I only get random notifications.

Maybe I had unreasonable expectations, but I thought it didn't do as much for me as I'd hoped. It didn't plump up the saggy area that I had it done on near my eyes and it was supposed to plump up the area where I have an icepick acne scar- didn't do much there at all. I've since had the scar lasered and that did work, though it was much more expensive.

@txcatx  I use the Ultra Repair Cream as hand cream all the time! It's great for that!

[PrettyPaint]

Yup! I do this too @veronika23. 🙂

[veronika23]

@PrettyPaint  Cool!  You know... I wonder what happened to their concentrate. I used to love that stuff for winter but can't seem to find it now 😞

[PrettyPaint]

@veronika23 Hmmm I don’t think I’ve tried the concentrate.

[veronika23]

@PrettyPaint  That was a life saver for bad/cracked winter hands.  I wonder why it's not available anymore 😞

[prettyinpa]

That's such a great idea, @veronika23, I never thought of this. I must have at least 20 of these from Ipsy, ULTA and Sephora. I swear every GWP contains the cream or the face wash, gah!

[veronika23]

@prettyinpa  It absorbs pretty fast and keeps my hands soft... so I love it for that!  I alternate between that and others... one of my absolute fav hand creams for night though is maple blondie from Barefoot Venus. It's a Canadian company. I love how thick it is. I use it every night before bed. 🙂

[PrettyPaint]

@veronika23 I’ve never heard of that one. My hands are always terrible, so I’m looking it up.

[veronika23]

@PrettyPaint  They mostly sale direct. I've seen them in a few shops but buying direct might be your best option. Sign up for emails... they sometimes have deals 🙂

I did a big foil purge in the fall so I don't have as many to use up, but like someone else mentioned I also have a bad habit of saving them for travel and then end up using mostly DS items. I am only going to save the foils I don't have DS of for traveling.

January foils to use, not a ton but I think it's realistic given my recent low use. 12 products total.

@CC3616 if I have a DS and foils of the same product that are the same "product age" I empty the foils into the DS and it makes me much more likely to use them! Or if I have an empty DS container I empty the foils into it 🙂 I recently did this with all my sunday riley tidal cream foils and I'm finally going through them all!

[Lazybeautybeast]

I do the same thing. It really helps manage my foils better.

Great idea @angel7594, I will be sharing my empty foil packets. There are too many of them!

[angel7594]

Awesome @darkiceis! Thank you for joining! ❤️

[angel7594]

I forgot to mention in my posting that I will share my foil choices once a week, and I will be back tomorrow with the first week photo! Thanks to everyone who has joined in the challenge so far! 🙂

I need to do this myself. It's ridiculous how many samples I have. I'll post a pic when I get home from work.

[Andrea19]

Here are my samples for January! I know it looks like a lot, but it is so cold and dry right now, that I'm using twice as much moisturizer as usual! 

[Anonymous]

let me know what you think of the face masks. I'm trying to see what new one I want to try

[Andrea19]

I really like the rose masks--both the Peter Thomas Roth and Fresh. I find that rose helps sooth my skin, which is prone to blotchiness. I wear the PTR one over night, and I wear the Fresh one after using irritating deep cleaning masks. They help with my acne as well, which I wasn't expecting. I'm not super impressed with PTR's pumpkin enzyme mask. It's gentle and can be used twice a week, but it's not any better than any other exfoliating or enzyme mask I've ever used. I'll let you know what I think of the pearl sheet mask when I use it. 😉

[howconnie]

Wow, I started using my foils last year. Be back when I take pictures of what I used up
