@niki172, oh my goodness, no need to be sorry at all. The serum is widely popular. I contemplate picking up one whenever I see it. It’s such a great lip product. ♥️ 

[niki172]

@itsfi I second the Dior Lip Maximizer Serum 0.17 oz/ 5mL !

[CynthieLu]

Oooh you have a very disciplined approach, I like it @itsfi 😄

I'm trying to do something similar but I may want to use this opportunity to try new things but narrowing them down is tricky.

[itsfi]

Thank you @CynthieLu! The concept itself looks disciplined; we’ll have to see next month if I can stick to it. 😬 I’m not entirely sure I would bet on myself. 🤪 But I like the idea of it so I’m going to give it a try. 

I hear that CybthieLu. It’s a great time to try new things and my word!! There have been quite a few attractive new releases! 😍 And we’re still a month away from the start of the sale. 

[Kim888]

What a great looking list @itsfi !!! Have you tried the Peter Thomas Roth PRO Strength Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment ? I wonder how it compares to the milk marvel dark spot serum! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @Kim888! I’m trying to keep the haul to a smaller size. “Trying” is the key word though. 😆 

I’ve heard such good things about that PTR treatment. My skin can be really sensitive so I’m a smidge concerned it may be too strong for my skin right off the bat. I have some really old dark spots that in my mind won’t budge without lasers so I may go for the PTR after the Eadem. Have you used the PTR before? 

[Kim888]

@itsfi Im using it now! I do think it’s made my skin a little dry but nothing I can’t counteract. So far I feel like it’s been very brightening but not done anything for sunspots which is my real concern though they are older so I’m not sure anything topical will actually work 

[itsfi]

Ahhh, that’s good to know. Thank you @Kim888! I think @heartsmyface may have used the PTR before as well. I think I may go with the Eadem for now and the PTR in the summer when my skin is more oily. 

[blackkitty2014]

Darn @itsfi @you have the prettiest handwriting 🥰 Great list 👌

[itsfi]

Thank you @blackkitty2014! Have to be extra selective this sale. I’ve picked up a few other things already. 😆 We’ll see if that actually happens.

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi  Wow you have done your homework 

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, I’m trying to be better at using up what I have and not taking in more all at once that it makes it harder to work through it all. Doesn’t mean I don’t buy but I’m trying to be more strategic about it, 🤞🏼especially since I have over the last couple of years really been able to narrow down and whittle away my stash to predominantly things I love or like and use. So I’m hoping I can keep up with this more manageable stash of mine. 😊

[ezelintoronto]

I added them to my basket already, if anyone used one of them please leave a comment I really would love to hear your recommendations

Coconut balm dot com by glossier is great but be aware that it has a real taste and smell of coconut and not the sweet kind of coconut. I also really love the Sephora puff, use it every day!

@ezelintoronto ,

I love "Belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb"!  ❤️  This has been a favorite for many years.

[danielledanielle]

I love the BELIF moisturizing bomb.  Even though I'm more oily/combo, I love the texture on this one.  It's creamy, without being heavy, and it lasts me at least 3 months with heavy use, 4 months with lighter usage @ezelintoronto .  If you can, get a set (which is usually the cost of the moisturizer) or the jumbo one.

3-4 months is perfect I just used sample and I really loved it that’s why I plan to buy belif

[danielledanielle]

🙌🏼 Another BELIEFER ... Sorry, just made it up.  Also edited my post because you can really snag some savings 😉 @ezelintoronto 

[CynthieLu]

This is a lovely cart @ezelintoronto 

I've heard really nice feedback on the Facial Puff ✨️

[ezelintoronto]

Ohh really! I was using laura mercier but I need smaller something so happy to hear that

[itsfi]

Ohhh, you have some wonderful beauties in your cart @ezelintoronto! 😍 The belif moisturizing bomb has been a go to moisturizer for me for years when my skin leans more dry (fall/winter). 👍🏼 It was a repeated repurchase for many, many years, along with The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL, which I paired the belif moisturizer with for my evening skincare routine.
