It seems like a distant memory now but probably 2016 was when I got my first smartphone. Until that point I would use my iPad (from work) as my smart device while out and about too @keana1!
In Canada, unless you’re a student, it’s expensive compared to the US to own a smartphone and the service providers charge ridiculously expensive fees so I keep my flip-phone with me in case of an emergency @ShortErica !
The ingredients in the KJ Youth Elixir look phenomenal @keana1! *adding to my list
Hmm...I wonder if Sephora USA will carry it or if it is exclusive to Sephora Canada?
It’s not sold by Sephora @itsfi , you can order it online at the Karine Joncas website, they deliver to the USA. For now it’s OOS on her site ! Bummer! I have no idea how much it costs for US customers and what the shipping fees are? When I google her site, it knows that my IP address comes from Canada so I only have access in Canadian dollars. Maybe if you google the website you’ll get the info in American currency?
@Shosh85 I haven’t tried this one before, but it sounds as good as the one I tried. The ingredients do look similar! Thanks for letting me know about this one!
@keana1 @Shosh85 I'm wondering if there's been a reformulation or repackaging or if packaging is different for different markets? Because there are two different packages for the Leaders Aquaringer sheet masks also and and that is in the same line of masks as the Anti-Aging one - the design for one package looks similar to the design of the one used by keana1 and the design for another package looks similar to the design in shosh85's post.
@keana1 @itsfi I noticed the two different types of packaging too – it sure does seem like reformulation/repackaging. I've looked over a few different varieties and it does seem they have mostly the same ingredients, just moved around. What I've seen so far in the few I've checked, the type of packaging keana1 used has sodium hyaluronate as the 3rd in the list of the ingredients – the type of packaging I posted has it listed half way down. In my opinion, I think I'd like it better higher up in the list. I'd be interested to know for sure if these are reformulated and repackaged. 🤔
I also prefer when HA is high on the ingredients list @Shosh85 !
Wednesday PM masking: After trying a sample of the Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Night Cream + Mask with Vitamin C 2 oz / 59 ml
I enjoyed it so much that I purchased it. After applying my usual water based serums ( my HG foursome ) I applied a thick layer of the YTTP mask and left it on overnight. I know that many that post in this thread own this mask and I don’t question why because it smells amazing, feels great when applied and it gives great results. In the morning my skin was glowing, hydrated and moisturized. Grade A+. After exfoliating my lips with the Sephora Honey Lip scrub I used the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original
in Vanilla which smells yummy and works as well as the other LaNeige lip masks! Grade A+
@keana1 💗💗💗 that YTTP! Might be my favorite sleeping mask 😊
Yaaay for A+ masking @keana1! I can't wait to use the vanilla Laneige lip mask!!!
Yay! I prefer the Apple/Lime lip mask @itsfi , the 2nd one that I prefer is the Vanilla one but they’re all yummy! ( except for the Grapefruit one 😖 )
Great @lmaster ! I haven’t had the time yet to read your post or anyone else’s thoughts about the last 2 weeks! It seems that my body and brain decided to catch up on my sleep! I’ve been sleeping a lot lately, even too much for my liking!
@keana1 it's ok love! I didn't even post about it, and probably won't because it's a unanimous love 🙌😉😘
I feel like I’m letting everyone down because I was unable to read their reviews @lmaster ! I know that I shouldn’t feel this way but I do!
@keana1 seriously do not feel that way,,, when my boys were at home and didn't go to prek I couldn't do anything but tend to their needs, now both are finally in school and I have that free time. I guarantee you nobody is judging you whether or not you comment or read posts sweet friend! That's what friends do,, they don't judge and are open-minded to your personal space 😘😘😘
