@Mellmars1185, the Farmacy cleanser is a good comparison for the Tatcha consistency-wise, in that both have a sherbet like texture, though the Tatcha feels more smooth and lighter/thinner. I'll have to pull out my Farmacy cleanser when I'm back home to be sure but off the top of my head, that's how I see it. 

You picked up the Tarte lip trio set as well, yes? Haul twinsies! We can share feedback; it'll be great to hear what you think of them.

@itsfi ,

You must have deserved that last Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen Lip Treatment! ( I would love to hear how you like it.)

This sounds like a great haul!

[itsfi]

Love that @tsavorite. "I deserve it." 😄💖 I like their collagen treatment for the face and the sleeping mask from this line is really good too - the latter I used a 10-day promo gwp and my gosh, it did make my face look and feel more bouncy. 😮 The lip treatment, I've used once before, a while back. It was a sample but it made my lips soft and more plump with regular use. Have you tried anything from the brand?

[tsavorite]

@itsfi , 

I hate to admit it, but although I have heard some good things about the Brand, I haven't tried it myself yet.  Your experiences really make me want to try it.

[itsfi]

Oh my goodness, @tsavorite, nothing to hate about that admission. There are so many good brands out there - it's completely understandable that we can't get through all of them. Though we may try. 😂 Sephora sometimes offer promo gwp's of different products from the line; good way to try out products. I'll try to remember to tag you if / when there's a gwp for a good product from their brand.

Thank you, @itsfi ! 

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi great haul.  I love Tatcha products, I am intrigued by the cleansing balm.  May have to try it

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, I've been using it for a few days and have really been liking it - cleans my skin without stripping it dry or making it feeling tight. What Tatcha products do you use, love?  

[JoSometimes]

@itsfi Great hauls! You got lucky with that quick trip to a nearby Sephora during your break. Those kinds of surprises are the best! 😃🥳

[itsfi]

@JoSometimes, completely agree! I didn't expect to find it at all! Was definitely a pleasant surprise.

[CynthieLu]

Oh, great haul! @itsfi 

Me immediately after seeing this post,  checking to see if the Tatcha Balm was available in Canada 😅

I would be very interested for you to tell me more about the algenist Collagen lip treatment @itsfi what goodness does it do for you? 😍

[itsfi]

Thank you @CynthieLu! Is the Tatcha cleansing balm available in Canada? It's lovely! 😍 The lip treatment makes my lips soft and bouncy. There's also a slight plumping effect - it doesn't make my lips look swollen or anything but it does make them look fuller with regular use. A while back I had to have a procedure to remove a cyst and have it biopsied; it was near my smile line so it altered it a little. My doctor did a good job but it did change my smile a little, including making one part of my lips look a smidge uneven from the other side. Plumping products can help with that. It's not that big of a deal; I was more self-conscious about it back then, much less so nowadays, but I still do like to try and use lip plumping products occasionally. This did a nice job of it.

@itsfi @Amazing haul and photos. 

[itsfi]

@SportyGirly125, thank you. I've been pleased with what I've tried so far. 

[Kim888]

great haul @itsfi ! tatcha does have some great face lotions !

[itsfi]

Thank you @Kim888! They do have some great moisturizers; I'm partial to the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Hydrating & Firming Refillable Moisturizer and have been a fan of their Tatcha The Camellia Oil 2-in-1 Makeup Remover & Cleanser for the longest time. This cleansing balm has been good so far - it's still early with my testing of it, but part of me wonders if it might replace the cleansing oil as my first cleanse. 🤔
