I donโt mind if a clay mask dries up or not, as long as itโs not too complicated to remove @missjeanie ! Was this the gratis with the DE A-Passioni retinol cream ? That was a wonderful gratis! Thatโs so true about too many masks and only one face! ๐
@keana1Yes! I've been using the APassioni for a few weeks now, (took last week off as I forgot to add the tube in my travel bag)! I was soooo excited to get a gratis box, I don't mind the dry down of the mask, I'm just not sold on the results quite yet... I feel like I need a few more go's to see. I did an inital test of the SDJ Cococabana body lotion and wasn't sold on the scent, so I'm going to try that again in warmer weather and see if I prefer it then.
I would do the same thing with the SDJ cream @missjeanie! The fragrance is a bit too rich to be used in winter! I hope that you had a great vacation and enjoyed warmer weather !
Warmer weather was much needed and appreciated. I had a great time. I did feel like I was missing my nightly BIC and masking time though! It was lot to get caught up on today @keana1 !
Iโm so happy that you enjoyed your vacation @missjeanie ! Catching up about what happened in the BIC can be quite challenging, there are so many new posts! I was MIA for a while and I still havenโt caught up!
It was a bit of challenge, but I feel like I got caught up on most of the threads I follow regularly @keana1 . I'm sure that I'll have missed a few new ones for sure though... so much happening every day here!
I think that the busiest thread is the Mask of the Week thread @missjeanie ! I still havenโt caught up !
That Consonant oil must be very nice, @keana1 - and I have to agree with you - sounds like you received the perfect Goldilocks gratis ๐
I love everything that I received as a gratis @eshoe ! I only had time to write one review! I was clearing out pharmacy continuing education documents, removing expired skincare products etc... I have a LOT left to do but Iโm not discouraged because I try not to do too much at a time. I was considering purchasing 3 items ( the UD Naked Reloaded palette, the Consonant Mask and the Fresh lip balm ) out of the 6 items that are part of the gratis! Iโm so glad that I waited before deciding to purchase them ! This gratis is a win/win for me!
Oh, @keana1, that is so awesome that they were items you were already considering๐๐ผ! So very happy for you, this is such great news๐
This gratis is so great @eshoe ! How often do you get a gratis that contains some items that you already were thinking of buying? You also received a great gratis in February! The DE A-Passioni cream, the BumBum cream in coco-vanilla, the lemon-based Replica fragrance and I forgot the remainder...๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I was also happy for you when you received the above mentioned gratis items! Still am ! Iโm sure that you havenโt finished any of your goodies yet!
Thank you, @keana1! Iโve gone through over 1/2 of the Maison Margiela already, and the Detox Shampoo from LP will be a definite repurchase. Still working on the DE so the jury is still out๐
The LP Detox Shampoo is the one that I forgot @eshoe ! Itโs in my loves list since I finished my Detox shampoo! Itโs pictured in the Empties thread. It might be one of my next purchases from Sephora! The Maison Margiela must have an amazing smell since I love citrusy fragrances! I love Living Proof ,Bumble&Bumble and Devacurl hair products ! So many different things to try and buy again! Eventually we have to learn that we canโt have it all ! There are so many other important issues to deal with and we need to get our priorities straight!
I agree, @keana1. Iโve been in a low-buy since the beginning of the year, and while I am constantly tweaking it, itโs helped me tremendously in narrowing my focus. It hasnโt been perfect by any means, but it helps me think about my choices differently. Priorities๐
Iโve also been tweaking my low buy @eshoe ! Youโre not the only one! Next month I have to have my summer tires put on my car ( this is a yearly thing! ) and have a spring inspection done, so April might have to be a no buy ! Even if thereโs a spring sale! Priorities ๐ !
@keana1, both you and @missjeanie have had good things to say about this mask. ๐๐ผ@veronika23 spoke highly of the Consonant HydrExtreme (a great hydrating serum) and this mask has some nice oils in it. Iโll definitely be checking out more products from this brand, including this mask! ๐
The Consonant DHE Mask is sooo great @itsfi ! Itโs going to replace my beloved Jouviance Detox Clay Mask once I finish it, or I might even alternate between both masks since the Jouviance mask doesnโt contain exfoliating acids. My search for a new clay mask is finally over! I havenโt tried the HydExtreme but Iโm sure that itโs a great serum! Unfortunately itโs too expensive for me! ( I multilayer different serums from TO and Hylamide since they are much less expensive and the combination works probably as well or even better than the Consonant serum )
Yaaay! I'm so happy you've found a new clay mask to your liking, @keana1. ๐ I know how much you loved the Jouviance mask. When it comes to the Consonant HydrExtreme, all I'm saying is thank goodness for Costco and their prices; definitely makes the HydrExtreme more doable.
I didnโt know that Costco had Consonant products? Thatโs good to know @itsfi ! I keep forgetting about Costco!
@keana1, in the US, Costco only carries the HydrExtreme. Well, for now at least. Iโm hoping they sfock more of their products down the road.
I hope so @itsfi ! I should check their website, I added Costco to my list of websites so that I remember that they sell interesting products online! Thanks for reminding me about them ! ๐
