Foil Challenge

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!

All are good! 😊 

Re: Foil Challenge

@ather every bit helps

Re: Foil Challenge

@CorgiMommy  I agree!! I’ve gotten my foils down to a manageable amount but now my DS are out of hand. Ooops! 

Re: Foil Challenge

@ather, all good samples?! I love that. That's a huge win! 🙌 Spying some great products in your foil empties 😍 - that Sulwhasoo serum is lovely; the Dior I once had an opportunity to try when it was used on me during a facial; and that Ouai detox shampoo is in my shower right now - it's what I've been using to remove / rinse out the Fable & Mane pre-wash oil.

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi  I agree. So crazy they all ended up good!! I love the Ouai detox shampoo one of my favs!! And the Dior I have used before and I enjoyed it. I feel like I have been saving my great foils for last. So I have a bunch of great ones left! 

Re: Foil Challenge

That’s awesome @ather! 😃 It’s fun when you have good foils to look forward to using. Are they mainly skincare?

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi  I have a little of everything! I have a few perfume samples and some makeup ones that I’m saving for later 😉 I also have a huge amount of hair samples! But I’m doing so much better now! I feel like I’m in a good place! Now on to my over run DS! 

Re: Foil Challenge

March 2024 foils

It was a slow month for foils, with just one miss. Will try to do better next month @ather🤞

 

Month-to-Date: 8

Year-to-Date: 34

The Details:

Spoiler

😘  Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream 1.7 oz / 50 mL is one of my skin’s winter warriors. It moisturizes and protects without being heavy or thick. 

 

👍🏼  ILIA C Beyond Triple Serum SPF 40 Mineral Sunscreen with Vitamin C 10% + Niacinamide Translucent Ton... is more skincare than makeup and is best suited for those with good skin that leans on the dry to very dry side. My skin is normal to dry at the moment, with more redness than usual (allergies). For me, I’d definitely need a concealer with this; it is nice for helping to keep my skin lightly moisturized, though I found it to be too shiny on me, both at initial application and as the day wears on. 

 

🐐 SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Eye Mask Caffeine - it’s going to be a sad day if these are being discontinued. Please don't be phased out; please don't be phased out. 

 

🫤  The adherence and size of the openings for both the mouth and eyes on the Lala Recipe Glow Face Moisture Mask were really off for me. It ended up being fussy to deal with as the mask kept sliding down my face, which suprised me - that's a first for me and after several minutes of trying to keep both halves of this 2-piece hydrogel mask on, I ended up just calling it a day and removing the mask altogether. 

 

♥️ The L’Occitane Instant Illuminating Sheet Mask, on the other hand, was one I wouldn’t minded wearing longer or having more on hand to use more frequently. It has a milky, emulsion-like serum that is feels cooling, soothing and hydrating on the skin. Half an hour with it gave me soft, supple, hydrated skin with a healthy dewy glow.

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi  Great job!! Some is better than none! 

Re: Foil Challenge

@ather, thank you. Every little bit helps to whittle down the stash of foils. 

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi great job this month

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi that is all you can do.  

Re: Foil Challenge

@CorgiMommy, thank you. Just chipping away.

Re: Foil Challenge

Went to visit a friend for a long weekend recently, this is a great time to use up some foils.  I brought 2 almost empty fragrances to use up to.  Used up 7 foils in total plus the two fragrances.  Prada Prada Candy Night 1.7oz/50mL & Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne 

 

MARA Algae + Moringa® Universal Hydrating Face Oil 1.18 oz / 35 mL was quickly absorbed into my skin and left it glowing and soft

Loved the Lemonaid cleansing gel, removed all my makeup with no transfer to the towel.

Others were repeats

Re: Foil Challenge

@CorgiMommy  Great job! I find I use so many foils when I travel! 

Re: Foil Challenge

@CorgiMommy, sounds like you had some great foils to use on your trip. How does the Prada smell? Would you pick up a full size of either of the fragrances?

Re: Foil Challenge

@itsfi I love the Jo Malone London English Pear & Freesia Cologne .  I purchased it because of the sample, very feminine and classy scent.

 

The Prada CANDY Eau de Parfum is nice for every day use.  It is great for a younger person

Spoiler
Kerastase Genesis Shampoo - I used this single with the K18 Biomimetic Hairscience Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL . My hair looks and felt clean after. This is my first use so I can't give much feedback.

Dr. Dennis Gross Daily Universal Peel - I can't notice any visible changes. Although, my skin is 'behaving' atm. I received these as GWP's. I have been trying to include Liquid exfoliants into my routine, but something less expensive.

Kora Tumeric Brightening Exfoliating Mask 2 in 1 - Has a refreshing scent, brown in colour. It has some textures and bits that feel exfoliating on the face, but are hard to wash off. I got 2 uses out of this packet. I probably won't repurchase just because of the difficulty I had getting the exfoliating pieces off of my face.

Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hand Cream - Smells like lavendat and Cinnamon. It has a calming and spa like scent. Feels good on the hands. Didn't 'wow' me enough to consider repurchasing.

Paula's Choice  2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - Had a strong chemical scent. I got 3 uses out of packet. Used once per day and it did not irritate my skin. I am interested in trying full size to see long term results.

Moroccanoil Oil Body Lotion - I found this pilled on my skin when applying after shower.

Dae Signature Shampoo & Conditioner - Smelled amazing like melon and cotton candy. Washed and let hair air dry. Hair looked curly and not frizzy. I would consider purchasing full size once I am done my current products. I have one sample left and I want to see what my hair looks like blow dried when using it.

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner - classic Moroccanoil scent that I love. Too many samples to get through before I would consider purchasing.

Amika The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo and Conditioner - The scent was so comforting to me. I got two uses out of this sample. Great Shampoo lather. Didn't notice any instant repair. I did notice hair lasted longer between washes and looked smooth.

K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo - Repurchased full size. Leaves my scalp feeling very clean but not dry. Have been using detox shampoo on the days I oil my scalp (about oncer per week).
