I know we all talked about this but I need it in writing to hold myself more accountable! I have picked out around 28 foils that I am hoping to get through by the end of Feb. thatโs 1 foil a day unless I decide to stack more than one! Hereโs what Iโve picked randomly!
โ
@Mellmars1185, masking can be highly conducive to both multi-tasking and being productive, on the one hand, or having a self-care moment. I go back-and-forth on which approach to take and it usually turns on what kind of day it has been, or how much more things on my 'to do' list I really need to address. But the self-care side of it is oh so nice! I hope you are able to get in your foot mask this weekend. @heartsmyface has excellent taste in masks so I've no doubt it will be a good one. A foot mask and a good back sounds like a wonderful way to spend some down time.
Well I did better than expected I ended with 29 foils! Most of the ones I had picked were a form of acid which my skin hasnโt been tolerating. So I ended up using products that would not irritate my skin. Along the way I did end up with some rashes and irritated skin. I canโt say I found any new favs in the bunch but I used a few old favs and current favs! Which made it a bit easier to get to my goal! I am going to set aside another 28 to use in March.

@ather Excellent progress! I can't wait to hear about your March foils.
I ended up going through more foils in Feb also to balance out the acids. I also had some irritation.
Once I go through all of my empties for February I will have a better idea of how many I went through.
I hope your skin feels better!
@Mellmars1185 Good job!!! My skin is feeling better today!! Canโt wait to see how you do in March!
Wow! You go @ather! That's an awesome number of foils for February and very cool that you're going to aim for the same in March. It's always interesting to see what types of products make up a good portion of your foils stash. I used to have a lot of acids in mine too but now, I only have a few. Ooh, old and current faves? Curious to know which ones fit into those categories? ๐ I love hearing about people's favorite products.
@itsfi Right now I have a lot of acids left or peel type of products. If I choose a foil I only try and choose ones I can use. So mostly hair care. So I have a bunch of hair foils too. My last few orders either were missing foils or I forgot so thatโs helping me keep mine down too!!
My current favs are the Summer Fridays Mini Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer 1 oz/ 29 mL Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Betaยฎ Universal Daily Peel Pads Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL Summer Fridays Cloud Dew Gel Cream Moisturizer 1.70 oz/ 50 mL
My old favs are OUAI Treatment Mask for Fine and Medium Hair 8 oz/ 236 mL OUAI Fine Hair Shampoo Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask 5 oz/ 150 mL fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm Translucent
I am sure I am missing a few too!!
@ather, oooh, thanks for jogging my memory. ๐ I have foils of the SF CC serum. Will set it aside for another month.
@itsfi I like SEPHORA COLLECTION Ultra Glow Serum: Glow + Strengthen Vitamin C Serum and Summer Fridays CC Me Vitamin C + Niacinamide Serum 1.0 oz/ 30 mL equally. I just finished my bottle of SC and now Iโm using the SF. I havenโt used the SF for 2 bottles of the SC so I think it was time to change it up again!
I am happy to report that as of bedtime today, I will have completed all of my 19 February foils plus a few more. For March, I have selected 26. I am running out of cleansers, so I am wondering if this Kora sample counts as a foil? I have 26 to get through for March. Here are my selections!

Nice work for February @Mellmars1185! ๐ This is an impressive group of foils for March! I'll be particularly interested in knowing your thoughts on the Dae shampoo and conditioner and the Shu Uemura hair mask / treatment.
@itsfi Thanks! I am excited to try the colour treatment. I went on a break for colouring my hair for about 2 years and kept trimming the ends to get rid of any bleach. In the fall last year, I added some highlights without bleach, and the colour has lasted. I wonder if this will give them extra shine ? I will let you know what the results are!
@Mellmars1185 Wow great job!!!! The Kora definitely counts!!! I see so many great products in the one s you picked!! Are they all new to you or some are loves?
@ather Thank you! Most of them are new. I have not tried the colour treatment in the hair section. In the skincare section, i have tried Exfolikate, Wishful Cream, kiehls retinol and bump eraser. The rest is new! I am excited to try them out ๐
Wow you're hitting your goals with this challenge! @Mellmars1185 ๐ฅณ Right on!โ๐โ
I know I started late this month so I got a quick start the last week and saw the mid month check ins and thought I should do the same to see where I was fairing for finishing the month.
I had 27 items set aside and I've finished off 12. I have another 5 in progress at the moment and 10 more that I have yet to get going on. Like @itsfi I had a couple in there that i knew I could work in easily and I have a few that are going to be more of a challenge for sure. So far I'm happy with my progress and with the challenge poking me to do some more sheet masking!
@missjeanie Great job!!! Iโm setting aside 28 for march too so if you want to roll into another month!! This has been a great way to use up foils for me!
@ather I was away for work last week and I fell short of finishing all my foils by one! I'm going to snap some photos tomorrow, but I'm very down for another month! I liked having worked in some sheet masks to keep me up on that as well. And naturally I might have a few more foils around lol
@missjeanie Yay Iโm so excited that you are interested in another foil challenge!! Yay! I will pick out my foils tonight but I may not get to taking a picture till Monday! Canโt wait to see your picks!
Oh I'm excited to see what you pick as well @ather ! I picked some out last night/this morning. Will post tonight or tomorrow!
@missjeanie Great progress and check-in. Thanks for the reminder - I need to check in to keep myself accountable. I also should be masking more. I used to make time for it. Lately, I have been busy, but I want to try to do it at least twice per week. Keep up the great self care!
