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. that’s 1 foil a day unless I decide to stack more than one! Here’s what I’ve picked randomly!

missjeanie · ‎04-02-2023

@itsfi Were you using it in the morning as well? I did take stock of what I have on hand last night and am I thinking I am going to pick one up. Commmmmon spring sale!

itsfi · ‎04-02-2023

@missjeanie, I used it both morning and night for one of the 2 weeks. When I did use it on the AM, my routine was the Eadem serum, Ole Henriksen oil and sunblock. Some mornings started with a cleanser if needed. It didn’t pill or cause any issue when layered with other skincare or makeup.

I love the way you are tackling this @itsfi Your approach for April sounds fun and more relaxed and it is nice to switch things up every once in awhile 😉

Your progress on foils is so admirable. It's very motivating to see how much you have accomplished. I know we can accomplish lots when we set goals and work towards them. Thank you for the motivation to help work through my massive pile ( 🙏 and Thank you too @ather for starting this thread. It's been sooo helpful!)

itsfi · ‎04-01-2023

@CynthieLu, thank you. Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how freestyling it in April plays out. 😀 I tend to like / do better with some structure so I imagine I’ll have much less foils at the end of April, but we shall see.

Trying out the different approaches to going through my foils is helpful to see what will work best for me under certain circumstances. If it helps someone else out, either as a way to go about it or as a stepping stone to finding out an approach that works best for them, all the better! 👍🏼

@itsfi Wow great job!! I am impressed! I added in the Verb shampoo and conditioner into my foils this month too. I enjoy it also!! That Eadem sounds so good! The results speak for itself!! Darn about the Voluspa hand cream. I keep meaning to check if it’s on the Canadian site to try it out.

Those steam eye mask is so good! I love them! Which scents did you try? I think I’ve only seen a few scents. It looks like you have more than I have seen before!

Can’t wait to see how Freestyle April goes!

itsfi · ‎04-01-2023

@ather, I’ve tried all of the steam eye masks from the original series - unscented, rose, chamomile, lavender, citrus (Yuzu) and of the limited edition scents - I’ve used the cypress (or hinoki) and vanilla (not pictured) ones; I’m sure they’ve had other scents that I’ve never heard of. The brand occasionally does a collab with an animated brand and those always have cute prints. Those collabs go fast!! I usually find out about them after they’ve sold out. 😝

The Verb shampoo & conditioner always gets bumped by another shampoo and conditioner set. 😆 I’m trying to keep my hallway closet from looking like storage for products so for the last couple of years, I’ve arbitrarily decided that I should only keep on hand, up to 3 shampoos / 3 conditioners and 1-2 detox shampoos. This is the first year I will meet that goal, even counting the shampoo and conditioner I plan to pick up during the sale. Yes!! 😃

Was a million times delayed in posting... but I did pull out a foil a day for March. Lots of face masks as I have LOTS to get through and my skin has been quite dry lately. I was sick over last weekend and dropped the ball a bit there, but that only means my skincare needs to step up this next week. I'm currently with 10 foils left to finish two of which are currently open and in use. So far that Farmacy Honey Savior All-in-One Skin Repair Salve 1.6 oz/ 46 g sample I got from @sister13 at Galantines is a winnnnner! Its not as thick as Vaseline, but feels like it gives the same barrier both on my face and my lips. Also loving the ease and speed of the Fresh Glow Powder!

itsfi · ‎03-29-2023

I love the Farmacy honey salve @missjeanie! Sooo good! 💛🍯 It’s a go to when I fly. ✈️ I once slathered it on before a flight so I looked like an oil slick (or maybe a glazed donut before that was popular) and I got a quizzical look from one of the flight attendants. By the time we landed my skin had taken in all the goodness and instead of that super greasy look, my complexion looked and felt so soft, smooth and supple. 😍 The same flight attendant even commented on it and asked about it. 😂

missjeanie · ‎04-01-2023

@itsfi Ohhhhh I love the idea of using it while on a flight! My current flights are all helicopters with fire fighters... they may not be as supportive as your flight attendant. But heck... worth trying even if for a laugh!!! I actually think this tube needs to be in my beauty first aid kit. Will be in my sale purchases for sure.

CorgiMommy · ‎03-29-2023

@missjeanie

I do love all the face masks, your skin must look amazing

missjeanie · ‎04-01-2023

@CorgiMommy If only I was consistent with them! They do really help when I use them regularly... it's just making the time to do so.

CynthieLu · ‎03-25-2023

So sorry to hear you got sick @missjeanie glad to hear you're recovered 💕 and feeling better. Ooh Jelly Vita Firming Masks? Those sound interesting 🙂 this is an impressive batch of foils!

Mellmars1185 · ‎03-25-2023

@missjeanie Great progress. The coffee mask sounds fun! How did you like it?

missjeanie · ‎03-25-2023

That's one that's still left to go in my little pile @Mellmars1185 , but I've used it in the past. It's a nice mask, but I could never find who actually makes them and I was kinda disappointed that it didn't have a nice coffee scent. It did come with four others in a disposable coffee cup though, I won't lie... bought it sheerly due to the packaging lol

Mellmars1185 · ‎03-25-2023

@missjeanie I would probably do the same thing ☺️

CookieGirl1 · ‎03-24-2023

Great job on all of the masks, @missjeanie!

missjeanie · ‎03-25-2023

@CookieGirl1 Thanks! I feel like I'm right on track to finish them up by months end.

sister13 · ‎03-24-2023

Oooh, nice! Yay for finding a winner! And great job with all the foils, wow! @missjeanie

missjeanie · ‎03-25-2023

@sister13 Thanks! I've literally had to have them all sitting right on my vanity. It's the only way I'm remembering anymore to use them. I was hoping to find some winners for the spring sale!

ather · ‎03-20-2023

So here’s a more proper update! I have 9 gone completely and I have 3 in my shower that will be done by the end of March. Maybe Thursday. I have 3 on my counter to use up next. So I need to pick out 13 to use in the next 11 days.

Here is what I have finished

And here is my projected foils minus the ones opened in my bathroom!

missjeanie · ‎03-24-2023

@ather What did you think about the Saturday Skin? I always look at their products and love the aesthetic, but never quite enough to pull the trigger.
