Foil Challenge

[ather]

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!

Oh my gosh @missjeanie, I placed an order with an online Asian beauty store. They usually toss in a sheet mask or two and a few foil samples. Ummm… this most recent purchase came with 20, yes twenty!!!, foil samples!!!! Grateful because they didn’t have to give any but it seems a tad much!! It’s undone the progress I’ve made. 😔 

[missjeanie]

lol @itsfi I actually have a little 'scrooge mcduck' meme running through my mind... you're swimming in alllllll the samples! lol  Maybe there'll be a gem of a new product in the mix!

I think a break is necessary when life gets to stressful, and on top of it all a nasty cold,  that's just awful!  So sorry to hear that @missjeanie Hope you feel better soon 💖

There's no race in the foils game, you'll do what you can, when you can. You went through so much, you did great this month! Way to go girl 🥳

[missjeanie]

@CynthieLu Thanks!  I'm hoping I naturally work a few in this month, but I'm gonna go low pressure this month. 

[CynthieLu]

I think that's an excellent idea @missjeanie go at the pace that works for you and it'll stay more fresh and fun 💖

@missjeanie Great progress and honesty. I also fell short in March on what I planned on using. I was feeling a bit dissapointed in myself. But then I thought, if it wasn't for this challenge I probably wouldn't have used so many. Here is to April! 🥰

[missjeanie]

@Mellmars1185 Yessssss... I'm loving your outlook and I'm gonna borrow it!  I know I wouldn't have used anywhere near what I did without the challenge push!

[CynthieLu]

My empties for foils is small this month, I had selected groups of foils for January and Febuary, but took a more relaxed approach for March.

Empties for March foils/trial and regular:

 

 

I did post reviews on 😋 Empties - V2 

This month I pulled out a group of foils hoping to work though them 😀 and here they are:

The Biossance trial size was in a box,  I'm super impressed with its size,  it's a big bottle 😍

Biossance Squalane + Hyaluronic Acid Copper Peptide Rapid Plumping Serum 1.69 oz / 50 mL 

A side goal I have is to work though foils I'm less excited about and saving my white whale for last, I guess like a reward for finishing them up.  I'm getting closer to using an Augustinus Bader The Cream with TFC8® Face Moisturizer that I'm super excited to try 😉

@CynthieLu  Great job!!! Oooo look at those DS! I love when you really get enough to test it out!! Can’t wait to see your progress!!! 

[itsfi]

What a nice reward to look forward to @CynthieLu. Biossance & Augustinus Bader are great brands. 👍🏼 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Great progress! Excellent selections and new approach for April!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you, @Mellmars1185  I love seeing my stash shrink 😄

[missjeanie]

Looks like a great group of items for the coming month @CynthieLu !  Have fun!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you 🙂 @missjeanie

Happy end of March!!! 

 
I did not make my goal. I only got 24 out of my goal 28. Not bad tho! I counted my leftover foils and I think for skincare I only have around 49 left. My hair care foils on the other hand are out of hand. So those will be my goal. Although I only wash my hair once a week might take a little longer to use up! 

Most have been new to me or only tried once or twice. 
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Body Drops i have used lots and enjoy them! 
Summer Fridays Mini Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer 1 oz/ 29 mL  I love also! 
Sunday Riley Good Genes Win-Win AHA Lactic Acid Duo  I was so hoping this would work for me but it was so harsh on my skin. I may try again in the summer. 
Amorepacific cream has a strong scent and i didn’t notice any difference with it. 
TULA Skincare The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser 4.2 oz / 120 mL  I was not a fan at all. 
TULA Skincare 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream  it was ok but I already have a fav. 
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Secure the Blur Makeup Magnet Primer 1.18 oz/ 35 mL  I really enjoyed. 
everything else I didn’t have much to report! 

Happy I am in a more comfortable place with foils! Now I need to work on my DS and hair samples! 

[itsfi]

Under 50 foils, that’s awesome @ather! 👍🏼 Do you have a number of foils (or range) that you’re hoping or planning to keep on hand for foils? 

[ather]

@itsfi  I think 30 is a great number. I definitely have way more than that if I include my hair and makeup foils so I have lots of work left! I don’t find I use up makeup foils as much. 

[Mellmars1185]

@ather Amazing progress! Hair samples take me a long time to use too because I only wash my hair about twice per week. Great idea to have a focus for April!

[ather]

@Mellmars1185  Thank you!! It feels good to see the progress!! 

[missjeanie]

@ather A nice batch of empties there !  I have a bit of a DS problem at the moment as well.  Hoping more travel over the summer will help with them lol!  Are you going to do the challenge again next month?

[ather]

@missjeanie  I will try! But I may do more of a freestyle since I’m pretty close to using all my foils! I have a ton of hair foils but I only wash my hair once a week so it may take longer to use up.
