Olaplex did nothing for my hair, I gave it to my sister who loves it... tho I see absolutely no difference in her hair at all

I’m a hair fanatic, watch many you tube videos about styling etc, but for me L’oreal Shampoos and conditioners (currently loving the Ever Pure) and once a week with L’Oreal Ever Pure Repair Remedy Balm, does the trick. I also use It’s a 10 leave in conditioner on the days I’m not using the Balm, none from Sephora, but no worries, I feel I’m contributing nonetheless to Sephora’s success 😂 I do love love love the Ouai hair oil, the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s invisible oil and have been a big user of Living Proof products, currently the Dry Volume Blast

i recently got the the most amazing tool, I’m obsessed with the Dyson Air Wrap! Thank u Sephora for 20% off Rouge event bc I finally got it and LOVE 💕

@ginnykc @Cyncynn @Weetart I thought the same about The Olaplex (did nothing for me) but I was using it as a deep conditioner and their site says it is NOT a conditioner. And that it should be used on unwashed hair.

I need to try it and see how it works when I follow the instructions 😄

So I totally missed the April check-in because I’ve been having a crazy time in my personal life, and haven’t been able to be on BIC as much 😰 anyways - I’ll be (mostly) back now, so here are the April empties (just in time for May LOL). No pics because everything was recycled, but for the June check in, I’ll start keeping everything again!

standout products: Mario Badescu spray (very soothing - always keep a mini (or two) with me in case my skin is feeling irritated or dry), Batiste dry shampoo (great drugstore option, I repurchase this often), Holika Holika Super Cera (picked this up on a whim at Winners and unfortunately fell in love! It was the perfect heaviness to get me through the winter, and my skin loved it), too faced mascara melt off (I’ve been using this for a while and have a ton of backups. I use it even without waterproof mascara because it reduces the amount of rubbing/damage to my lashes to take the mascara off. Warning - do not leave it on to “soak” more than 1 min as directed... once it gets into your eyes everything is super blurry. It didn’t irritate my eyes but the blurriness lasted 15 mins)

Great to see you again @cianni ! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the Holika Holika cera. I’ve been really enjoying the brand!

[cianni]

@missjeanie I picked it up for $6.99 or something at winners and knew nothing about it so I didn’t pick up more. I’m hoping to see it back because I’ve been seeing a TON of Holika Holika sheet masks and facial cleansers coming in, so I’m taking that as a sign that other items may be trickling in as well!

[missjeanie]

fingers crossed @cianni !

[lmaster]

I have seriously missed your face! @cianniU are back!!

[cianni]

@lmaster yesssss I missed you too!! I have so much to catch up on 😂😂 happy to be back ❤️❤️

I don't like it as much as the Dragon one

The deep clean sheet mask from Miss Spa was pretty nice, and I do think that it helped to clear up my hormonal acne.

Kiehl's glow formula skin hydrator was just a no for me... the colour is weird, it smells yucky, and there was just nothing that I liked about it - I didn't even finish the sample packet.

I'm still on the fence about the lotus youth preserve cream from Fresh, it has a strong (but not unpleasant) scent that reminds me of cucumbers more than anything.

The resurfacing serum from Tata Harper smells gross, and I probably wouldn't buy it, but it does seem to do what it claims... so if you don't mind the scent then it might be worth it (and the smell does seem to either dissipate / or you get used to it after about 10 minutes).

I love the cleansing cloths from Biossance. I don't wear make-up often, but it really is a joy to be able to remove eye make-up without irritating my eyes. 

The Koala sheet mask from SNP felt very cool on my skin, was very moist, and left my skin feeling very hydrated. It had a very noticeable scent... which I couldn't quite place but was maybe a cross between something medicinal and a quality mud mask (it wasn't unpleasant). Ultimately, I just don't like it as much as the Dragon one, so I probably wouldn't repurchase unless it was on offer for half price.

It is cute @sockmagnet (koala mask). I’ve been meaning to try out some Kiehl’s and some First Aid.  I love the watermelon glow overnight mask but it makes me break out.  🤦‍♀️

[lmaster]

that koala mask is so cute @sockmagnet

[missjeanie]

Great variety of mask products @sockmagnet ! Thanks for the reviews!

Last weeks empties. The only one I plan on repurchasing is the Dear Packer rose honey mask. I love the OH scrub but I want to find a clean alternative. The DE marula is good I just would like to find a cheaper alternative. The rest are all definite no’s👎

[RebeccaBT]

@faeriegirl Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 

Best,
Rebecca 

[eshoe]

Oh my @faeriegirl that OH has the best scent. SO good. 

[lmaster]

I love the marula oil @faeriegirl have not found an alternative that is as nice as this

[faeriegirl]

@lmaster I really like it too. I finally decided to try 

Farmacy Honey Grail Ultra-Hydrating Face Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL

Hopefully since my skin is responding so well to honey products this one will work for me🤞
