Use a Makeup Eraser to remove wash-off masks | lmaster |
With a detox mask, apply a thicker layer where pores are | Ather |
Use a resurfacing exfoliating spray (such as Kate Somerville’s Liquid ExfoliKate) before a detox mask to better clear out your pores | Miamia27 |

That’s great @lmaster ! All three of the SF masks look interesting and have great ingredients! I have to finish up my OH Facial Sauna scrub before getting the Overtime mask! ( I also have a backup of the OH ! ) It’s going to take a long time before I finish both since I only use a facial scrub once a week! I don’t want to over exfoliate my face when it’s cold and dry, when summer arrives, I should be able to use it 2 times a week! ( My face sweats a lot in summer, I even have small sodium, potassium and magnesium crystals that form on my temples ! )
My friends and SIL are super into Marie Kondo, @keana1! Part of the reason I’m doing a low buy is to “Marie Kondo” my beauty products - they spark joy for me so it’s gonna be a longer process to whittle things down. 😊😉
So happy you used such great masks!!! 💕 That body peel sounds great and it sounds like it smells amazing too!
I have to “ Marie Kondo “ everything @itsfi ! I have so many things to reorganize but I’m doing it at a snail’s pace ! Slowly but surely!
The body peel smells like orange marmalade mixed with grapefruit! Yummy 😋! She delivers in the USA if you’re interested but I don’t know what the shipping would cost though? Her products aren’t very expensive compared to others that might sell similar products. You can PM me if you want to know more!
I’ll have to take a look at the body peels @keana1, but probably after I’ve made more progress on some open full size products in my stash. 😉
Slow and steady is fine for Marie Kondoing your condo. Just have to keep chipping away at it. It’ll get done.
I understand you completely about finishing up your body peels @itsfi ! I’m starting to use up some of my DS items slowly but you’ll see the products that I’ve finished in the Empties thread at the end of the month.
If I Marie Kondo too fast I’ll feel discouraged! 😜
Yesss for Marie Kondo-ing! I’m obsessed haha, I’ve been trying to do that as much as possible, but it’s so much work! Feels amazing when you’ve gotten through a room though 🤗
@keana1 I looove that Overtime Mask! It definitely smells delicious! So glad you like it!
I had no idea 'not' renewing your license involved so much paperwork! Paperwork makes me brain dead too! 🤯
- and feel better! Spring is right around the corner! 😊
I did all the paperwork online when I decided not to renew my license @Shosh85 . I meant recycling all the pharmacist papers, articles, magazines etc... since I won’t be needing them anymore, but I’m keeping my textbooks!
Love the Overtime mask!
@keana1That Summer Fridays mask sounds like a great 2 in 1! I love the scent of pumpkin spice.
I hear you on the winter being a bit much this year. We're here whenever you need us!
Thank you so much @missjeanie ! It’s so sweet of you! Now you’re making me tear up! 🥺
no no... no tears over beauty lol! In all seriousness though, I sympathize, winters up here can be brutal! And everyone here (BIC) is here to support you no matter what you need! Be it beauty advice, to get stuff off your chest or just lurk... we all need different things on different days, and that's okay. @keana1
You’re so amazing @missjeanie ! I missed you and the BIC ! I don’t know why I was isolating myself so much, you gals are great! 🤗 . Now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! It’s supposed to rain next week so maybe all the snow can finally melt and go away for a long time! I can’t wait to go outside without wearing 3 layers of clothes! ( tops ). You’re probably feeling the same about wearing winter clothing!
@keana1 Im actually taking off for a week! I’m soooo excited to wear sandals again. The amount of snow is just ridiculous this year and I’m craving some sunshine and beauty shopping!
Im hearing that things should start getting nicer by mid/end of March though. Fingers crossed!
— and sometimes we all some alone time. Not a thing wrong with that!
Whoa @missjeanie!! So. Much. Snow. ❄️❄️ Woo hoo! You’re gonna get some sun! ☀️ Have fun! 🤗
@missjeanie Holy crap, that's a lot of snow! I don't mind a little snow, but that's a bit much!! 😳
@missjeanie Wow, I can't believe dealing with that much snow for so long!! You deserve a Florida vacation!! Don't burn your buns and hope you have a great time!!!😊☀️🌞
@yankeefaithful @LOL, it’s out of control right! It’s actually melting a bit this last week, but this is the most snow I remember getting. It’ll be a laid back vacation for sure, but me and my sunscreen are looking forward to getting outta the snow and ice!
You have as much snow as my parents do ! They live north of Montreal ( about a 45 minutes drive from where I live if there’s no traffic ) @missjeanie ! Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the warm weather and have fun shopping 🛍 🌞🛫🏝, don’t forget your sunscreen! Bon voyage ! I’ll be thinking about you ( I hope that it won’t rain where you’re going 🤞🤞🤞 )
I’ll still be checking in! And I’ll be thinking of you while I’m in sunny Florida @keana1 !
