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!

@Mellmars1185 Great job. You did wonderful!!! You must be getting through your stash!!

Mellmars1185 · ‎04-06-2023

@ather Thank you! Yes I am getting through. There are many more to go! But every month I make a dent. I think it will take me longer as the months go by because I am running out of some categories of foils. That is ok though. This challenge is evolving for me 😊

That's a great job on your foils! @Mellmars1185 🥳

@CynthieLu Thank you so much 🙏

@Mellmars1185, great job on your foils! Good mix of hair care and skincare.

Mellmars1185 · ‎04-03-2023

@itsfi Thank you 😊

@Mellmars1185 Nice assortment of haircare and skin care! How did you like the Dae Shampoo and Conditioner in the green packets? I like the ones they have in the coral and was contemplating the green for the sale.

Mellmars1185 · ‎04-02-2023

@missjeanie I did like the Dae shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo lathered really well. That is always something I look for, having an oily scalp. I didn't notice anything different with my hair. I can't remember if there was a scent to it.

I fell a bit short of what I was hoping to use up foil wise for March. I swear I feel like I've been sick since the end of January and to add to year end stress at work... I got a nasty cold. My skincare has been pared riiiiight down lately. I am going to take a bit of a break in April but am going to keep the items from March I didn't use up in with my project pan items so that I can get them finished up.

Had a few in the bunch that I quite enjoyed. The Merit foundation was my leftover from February. The shade was a touch dark for me, but I made it work with some creative concealer use. Farmacy Honey Saviour was just lovely on my poor dried out nose and is a possible purchase for the spring sale. The Fresh Vitamin powder mask/scrub was great and so easy to use. The Shiseido was a beautiful serum. The wishful scrub was... odd. Very little in the package and hard to get it out. I'm not sure what I think of this one, but I do have a few more samples that I'll try.

Leftovers moving on to April

@missjeanie Great job. I know what you mean. We have year end also! And I feel I’ve been hanging on to this cold too. I wish it would go away!!!

missjeanie · ‎04-08-2023

@ather Oh no, I hope you're feeling better!

ather · ‎04-08-2023

@missjeanie Thanks! My husband just got home from a trip and he’s brought something home too. So lucky us! All I need is more sickness!

missjeanie · ‎04-08-2023

@ather Oh no!!! Dang it, not the souvenir you were hoping for!

ather · ‎04-08-2023

@missjeanie Lol not really. He did bring me back some truffles!

itsfi · ‎04-03-2023

Yeah @missjeanie, I’m low-keying it for April too with the foils. It’ll be a nice break while I deal with allergies. 😂 Or, I’m expecting my allergies will come out in full force sometime this month. 😬 I am interested to see how often I reach for a foil though.

missjeanie · ‎04-03-2023

Allergies are the worst @itsfi ! I bet you have to deal with them way longer than I do (we got two feet of snow last weekend lol). I'm usually good until about end of May. I'm anticipating that multiple sale season orders will add a few foils to my stash to tackle again after some 'time off'. Maybe a renewed vigor for them too!

itsfi · ‎04-03-2023

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 · ‎04-05-2023

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!

CynthieLu · ‎04-01-2023

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 🥳
