Love that you and your SO are going in for another round of the caffeine eye masks @missjeanie! Love it even more that your SO is going to have a side hustle as a skincare influencer. He can now join in for the trade shows!! 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi He's been asking if I've posted his 'lines' yet.... but I swear BIC has been against me this week.  It just doesn't like to let me log in.  Friday night lines will happen though! 

[itsfi]

Yep, BIC’s been very glitchy this week @missjeanie. I took it to mean a digital detox was in order so I ended up not trying to log on anymore if I couldn’t get in after 3 tries. After that, I just called it a night. 🛌 

I will be keeping an eye out for “friday night lines” 👀

[missjeanie]

@itsfi Turned into Tuesday Night Lines... he was so proud of letting me use his arm.  lol ... until he tried to rub it all off.  I could see the moment of panic when a few things were still on there after the first round of make up remover, but he got the hang of it.   

BIC wasn't having me this weekend at all.  I'm hoping today's log in success means that things are cleared up and the tech troubles have passed.  

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, he must have been like “what did I just do?!!” when the swatches didn’t come off at once. 

Are you having better success logging in? My issues with it seem to have been resolved in the early morning <<knocks on wood>>  I’ll try again after work tonight to see if I just got lucky or if it’s all cleared up. 

[missjeanie]

Lol @itsfi  I get online the get booted, then can’t get online then randomly get back on… I have no idea what’s happening lol. I’m hoping it’s on Bics end cause I’m not tech savvy enough to fix this on my end lol. 

[itsfi]

omg, I've been caught in that cycle @missjeanie. Restarting or completely shutting down and starting back up has been the only thing that I've found to work when I'm on my laptop. Even then, I may have to restart a couple of times. If that's the case, I'll usually do it a couple of times and then call it a night as far as BIC goes.

@missjeanie  Absolutely love your display and how you so beautifully showed your likes and what you would maybe not prefer later on this is beautiful! 🌻

Fantastic job @missjeanie 🙌

@missjeanie Wow, you did get through a lot of products in January! Fantastic job! It is good to know about the Amika Shampoo and conditioner. I have not tried the orange packets yet. Now that I am washing my hair a maximum of two times per week, it is taking me a long time to get through products. I found the at home hair colour products so convenient! I always loved the conditioner they came with. Aw, it is so sweet that your grandma thinks of you and your SO. I love the smell of Old Spice on my SO, lol. I like that you didn't let it go to waste! At this rate, I am confident you will reach your goal of 365.

[missjeanie]

@Mellmars1185 I think I've used this 'normcore' for the Amika as well as 'mirrorball'?  I'm going to be hard up to decide which to purchase once I get through some bottles I already have.  And I so agree... the conditioner that comes with the dye is so good!!  They need to just sell that stuff on it's own!

Pretty happy with how my year is starting off! I attempted to work through some of my project pan products, and while I didn’t finish any of them in Jan, I have high hopes for the upcoming months! I managed to work through 8 products, all of which were fullsized.

Loves - FAB Radiance Pads (been using these on and off for years, they’re just a great no-nonsense staple product I can always come back to), Tucks (part of my postpartum care, iykyk. Won’t repurchase because I don’t need them anymore, but was very happy to have them!), The Ordinary Azaelic Suspension (love how this layers with my other skincare, and i think it did keep my acne at bay! I mainly picked this up to deal with acne because my normal products were not pregnancy safe. I have a backup I’m currently working through, and honestly would repurchase this and use even now that i can technically go back to some of my other products. I wont repurchase this until i have worked through some other things i currently own)

Meh - Olaplex 4-in-1 Moisture Mask (this was a massive 12oz bottle! It worked just fine, but if i used slightly too much or left it on as recommended, it made my fine hair so limp and greasy. I have a ton of other hair masks i much prefer), Laneige Water Sleeping Mask (works fine, but I’m phasing out Laneige products, and i have a few of these in my collection that i want to work through. This was my last full sized, and i have a couple DS/minis left), The Crème Shop Acne Patches (these were just ok. They worked fine, but if i left them on overnight, they were so difficult to remove the next morning. Not sure if the adhesive reacted to something in my skincare routine, but they melted into my skin and i had to really get in there with my nails or tweezers to peel them off)

Wow, look at that list @cianni 8 full size products? Fabulous work! ♥️♥️♥️ the First Aid Radiance Pads - gentle and effective. They’re my go to’s when I’ve been off actives or acids for a while and am starting back up again. 👍🏼 

[missjeanie]

8 full size products is so good @cianni !  I have a few pimple patches that randomly stick on like crazy as well.  I haven't figured out what makes it happen, but I've had some in the same pack do it when others in the pack don't.  Very odd. Either way... you're not alone!

[cianni]

@missjeanie it’s so strange! They just glue right onto your face 😂

[Mellmars1185]

@cianni Excellent empties!! I am intrigued about the The Ordinary product. Did you find it helped with acne? I am always open to help in that department.

[cianni]

@Mellmars1185 It definitely did! I used to use both products I purchased on my own (with retinol. AHAs, BHAs and salicylic acid) and a prescription for Clindamyacin (I believe the main ingredient is benzoyl peroxide) to deal with keeping acne at bay/treating any that popped up. I stopped using all of that, and was experiencing hormonal breakouts intermittently. Some breakouts were the same or worse as I had as a teenager! I started using the azaleic acid after it was recommended to me by my OB as a safe ingredient to use. I used it every other night and while I still had a couple pimples here and there, I didn’t experience anymore full on breakouts, and the pimples I did have stayed small and resolved in a day or two

Great job 👏 @cianni 

[cianni]

Thank you @lmaster 💓

[peculiarzmakeup]

@cianni 

Amazing work and I love the thought surrounding the future of these empties and what comes next very inspiring ✨

[cianni]

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you! I’ve learned I need to put thought into these types of things, otherwise I just accumulate more and more 😩
