lol @eshoe I'm just having to get creative to use up stuff I have on hand!
I have scanned the ingredients many times to meet the challenge, @missjeanie!
Love the G usage, even for clearing out some of the sample stash, @missjeanie!
Ohh I have that Boscia too... good thinking on the Green! I should really get to those ds this week. ๐ @missjeanie
@veronika23 Mine was getting pretty dried out. I still have one more and I'm hoping that since its been sealed it'll be a little better off than this guy was!
Awesome job using the alphabet to get through your stash @missjeanie! Iโm loving it because all of the creativity cracks me up sometimes ๐
@eshoelol it really is fun... some of the members on here are so creative! Its awesome to see how everyone interprets things!
@missjeanie Nice job using up your stash! I've been really trying hard to shop my stash, and now I'm finding things in there I totally forgot I had! ๐๐ The alphabet has really helped me too! ๐
@Shosh85its like having the alphabet to work through gives me the push to use the products that I've just been tossing to the side. Sometimes because my interest just isn't there, but others just because I have too much and the choices can be overwhelming so I just go with what I know. I'm glad you're working through your stash too, so satisfying to use things up!
Thatโs so great that you are getting through your opened deluxe samples @missjeanie! Itโs only month 2 of my low buy / shop my stash project and I have learned that I have a lot of open items I need to use up. ๐๐๐คฃ Itโs nice to just get through things. You found a good mix of โGโ masks in your bag of DS products!
@itsfiI'm trying to use some things up. Over the last year or so I've been cognizant of keeping track of empties and this year I'm promising myself to post on the empties thread monthly to help keep me on track. I have a habit of just tossing DS & foils into a box on my dresser then never looking at them again. I was happy to pull out stuff last night and get a good look at it all. Reminds me of what I have and need to work through! I'm guessing it can't all stay out in my living room forever like it is now... but at least I'm remembering a few things now lol
Youโre doing a great job of using what you have @missjeanie! I will try to join you on the empties thread! ๐
@lmaster I mean... I'll keep using it to use it up... but I guess at least it doesn't do anything bad to my skin? lol not something I'll be spending on anytime in the near future though. Glad to know it's not just me!
@missjeanie understandably so, I think I had used 3 different serums for About 9 months, even repurchased and gave it an honest shot,,, actually longer than I can believe ๐ definitely use it up if it's not causing any problems
@lmasteroh lol you gave it a wayyyyy better shot than I'm willing to lol
I really wanted to love it...really!! ๐๐ @missjeanie
You have really good observation @byme4u -lift and firm masks usually plump my skin pretty good...something to keep in mind for Glam masks to help get ready for a special night out!
@byme4u I bought one of those kits of mini's the last time I saw it, but still haven't tried the gold one yet! It definitely sounds great! I don't blame you for not wanting to purchase the full size โ it is pretty spendy! ๐
...... and thank you! ๐ I'm always attracted to cute packaging! ๐ฑ
G is for Gold. I first heard about this mask from @eshoe, and just had to give it try! ๐
Peach ๐ Slices Lucky Cat's Gold Foil Mask๐ฑ
This is a cotton and gold foil mask โ with the cotton touching your skin and gold foil on the outside. It was drenched with serum and had a light, clean and fresh, slightly soapy, kind of scent. The fit was pretty good โ a bit too long at the chin and the strip between the nose and mouth was a little too wide. The mask was comfortable and adhered well. I kept the mask on for about 40 minutes and when I removed it, my face felt very refreshed and was noticeably brighter. There was just a little bit of serum leftover that was slightly tacky, but that absorbed pretty quickly. My face felt soft and smooth, had a plump and hydrated feel, and even had a nice glow! This is another one that'll definitely be a repurchase in the very near future and it gets an A! (If it weren't for the fit, it'd be an A+๐)
