@CookieGirl1  Wow, wonderful job!

[CookieGirl1]

@Cissy63 thank you!

[CynthieLu]

That's great work on your foils stash this month! @CookieGirl1 👌 It's got to feel good to have made a dent in your collection. I need to follow your lead and put some focus on mine, lol. I don't mean to have so many, but they do seem to multiply. 🐇

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu my problem is that I like just having them and I need to get better about using them.

[CynthieLu]

Oooh @CookieGirl1 I understand now. I hope you find a way you work a few into your weekly routines. I do like the process of going through my samples and deciding which ones I'm going to use.💘 The ones I have the hardest time moving though are my hair care samples. 😅

@CookieGirl1 Fantastic work on finishing up minis and foils! They can definitely add up quickly ☺️

[peculiarzmakeup]

Beautiful foil/mini empties collection you did a great job I love seeing foil empties all together! I hope you enjoyed them 💕 @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@peculiarzmakeup mostly it just felt good to use them up!  I'm definitely a sample/foil hoarder and I know that I've had some of these for a couple of years so it was time to let them go.

You did amazing @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@lmaster thank you, ma'am 😉.

August Empties 💕

Not impressed but I finished it, left a white cast that would reappear as I wore it. 😕

I love Verb Ghost Weightless Oil to Fight Frizz and Enhance Shine for my fine hair, it's fantastic and I would repurchase this in the future. 

I really liked the SEPHORA COLLECTION Vitamin Face Masks in vitamin E, I buy them every summer and wear them after days I've been in the sun. ☀️

Good and would consider buying again are

L'Occitane Hydrating Almond Milk Concentrate Body Moisturizer has such a pleasant scent. 

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Eye Serum 0.67 oz / 20 ml

StriVectin Peptight ™ Tightening & Brightening Face Serum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution™ Water Cream Glow Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz / 50 mL

@CynthieLu  great empties! Too bad about the white cast with the sunscreen, that's always the worst 😞 but I'm glad the Verb hair oil is a love for you! This reminds me I need to use mine more, I have been distracted by the Kerastase hair oil from the summer gratis 😅

[CynthieLu]

So many oils too love, lol. I really like Kérastase Elixir Ultime Refillable Hydrating Hair Oil too @caitbird, it's been real good on my dry ends and I think it'll be extra helpful as the dryer cooler temperatures set it. 🌨️

[Cissy63]

@CynthieLu  Oh great job!  That spf didn’t work out for me either.  Better on the body than the face.

[CynthieLu]

Yes! That's exactly all I could use it for @Cissy63 it was not a match for my face either. I think I picked it up because it was on sale but it won't be coming home in the future. 😅

Have you found any good spf's lately?

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Great work! If you dont mind me asking, do yoy recall how long it took you to use up the Verb ghost oil? How do you use it? I have a few oils open and they take me a while to use up.

[CynthieLu]

Hair oils last me *forever* @Mellmars1185 I think that is around 3 years old. I had a conversation awhile ago on BIC about this, and I think for me, I only want to invest in mini's for hair oil in the future. I like to try new things and I can't commit to just one oil. But this is repurchase worthy. My hair is extremely fine and this was fantastic. 👌

Right now I have a few mini's and trial sizes I need to finish. 

Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil 

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Frizz Reduction & Heat Protection Hair Oil 

Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil 

shu uemura Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Hair Oil

Maybe a few I'm missing.. 🙈🙈

How I use hair oil:

After styling my hair ( after air drying or heat) it's a finishing step. I apply a drop or two in my hands and rub them together to warm the oil. I focus on the hair from my ears and lower and with it down the lengths.  The little bit left on my hands I smooth a teeny tiny bit  over my bangs and the hair up top and gently brush it through or scrunch if I'm wearing my hair wavy 

As a treatment:

My hair is drrrrry.  Sometimes before I go to bed I'll spritz a little water into my hair after brushing and then add a little oil to the end and lengths below my ears, just a drop I've warmed in my hands. It's really helpful to ease the dryness

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thanks for sharing! I use the oil after styling with heat too! I have been using heat less this summer. I tend to use it more in the winter months when my hair is easier to manage (no humidity). I will try your treatment idea! 

[CynthieLu]

If you get dry ends between washes it's been nice @Mellmars1185 it's a less is more scenario thou. 😉

[lmaster]

White cast is a huge noooo! Lol great job @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

Yup, a big no thanks to that. This one was stubborn and would reappear. I've never had one that did that. 😅 I would have to rub it back in periodically. Soo wierd. @lmaster Canada has the strangest SPF selection
