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!

@itsfi it is definitely a product to check out

Great work this month @CorgiMommy 👏 I do love Glow Recipe, they know how to make nice stuff 😀 and that serum is a really nice one. Ooooh Are those Orbie Samples? How did you like those ones?

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu yes, they are.  I think they came in a hair sample package but  I don't remember 

[ather]

Another month done! I am feeling like I have made dent in my foils this year! The month of August I finished 13. I actually am impressed since I have had a crazy month!! 

 
I really enjoyed both sets of shampoo and conditioner. If I didn’t have so many on hand I might purchase one. Although my hair care bag of foils is full so I might want to work through those first! I also love the tatcha rice wash! The rest were ok. 

[CorgiMommy]

@ather good job .  I use my shampoo and conditioner foils when I am out of town.  

[ather]

@CorgiMommy  I normally do that too but I can’t see us travelling out of town much now. We have an old pup so we don’t want to leave him. 

[CynthieLu]

Excellent progress @ather You made a great dent this month! 👏 Living proof is such a stand up hair care line. I enjoy thier products too 😉

[ather]

@CynthieLu  I agree I really enjoyed it!! I have so much hair care that I am not allowing myself to purchase any until I’m out 🤣

[CynthieLu]

Very wise @ather 😉 I am trying to do that as well, use up more of what I have before getting or replacing.🩷

@ather Wow! Great job completing so many empties when you have been busy. Did you have a favourite?

[ather]

@Mellmars1185  Both of the hair products! And the Tatcha rice cleanser. The serums are hard since I don’t know how much 1-2 times using them helps me see how good they are. I think I need minimal a week usage. If I have a bunch of the same one I try and use them all in a row to get a better sense. 

[itsfi]

Holy foils @ather! 😆 Look at all those foil samples. 😍 13?!! That’s a good assortment too - hair care, skincare and body care. Excellent job!

[ather]

@itsfi  Thank you! I don’t know if I talked about it on here but end of July I had an incident with my wardrobe falling down and I had to reorganize my whole closet so foils have been part of that. I needed to catch up again and feel under control!! So I’m really upping my foil usage! I have the biggest pile of hair care product foils but I only wash my hair 1-2 times a week so it’s a slow process for me. I also love using foils for travel but that will be on hold for the next little bit also! 

[CynthieLu]

There were some really excellent items here,

Tatcha, Skinfix and Lancome were absolutely beautiful to use and totally repurchase worthy. Omg La Mer is such a tease because that is soooo far out of my price range.. but it was incredible 😭😉

Though I enjoyed everything else I tested out this month, I don't think it would replace any of my regular staples 🩷 I would happily use them again thou.

A majority of my foils right now are all hair care, I'm not sure my plan to make it through.. but I'll come up with something 😁

Those Tatcha empties are super cute!

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Wow so many empties! I just got the Lancome. It is good to know you enjoyed it. How did you use it? I always end up usimg all my hair samples first. I actually ran out. I am trying to collect some now 🤪

[CynthieLu]

The triple serum @Mellmars1185 ? I used it after washing, before my moisturizer. Because it has those 3 serums all rolled into one application, I didn't use it with anything else. I mostly used it in the AM so my PM was free for other fun actives and serums 😉 

[itsfi]

@CynthieLu, were these from your travels? It’s a nice mix of deluxe samples, a full size and some foils.

[CynthieLu]

A few were ones I was still finishing off from my summer adventures and the rest I finished this month 😃 @itsfi   I did finish of Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum: For Plumping & Anti-Aging 1.7 oz/ 50 mL before my trip 😉

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu wow,  excellent!

[CynthieLu]

I had been holding on to these for awhile, it felt great to go through them @CorgiMommy 😀
