Iโm still working with the Neogen @Anonymous. Iโve been trying it with a few serums/toners/ moisturizers and am hoping to post for โNโ week๐
@eshoe Wow, I'm really curious about that lemon powder now! The sheet mask also sounds very nice. I've never used a mask with a strap!
Iโve been interested in the powder for awhile now @PrettyPaint. Sephora didnโt sell it for awhile and I havenโt been ordering from too many sites recently, so I was excited to see they carry it now.
i have a lot of playing around with it to do, but I like the fact that Iโm adding vitamin C to my routine without the scent that it tends to display in serums๐
@eshoe I'll be looking forward to hearing about your continued thoughts about the powder. I've heard that vitamin C serums sometimes go off/change color quickly, so I'll be curious to see if this seems to have increased longevity or shelf life!
Iโve heard that too, @PrettyPaint. Iโm thankful the jar is dark in color, Iโve been storing it in a cabinet until I clear out some room in my mini fridge. I know I will forget about it if itโs in the kitchen fridge!
i tried it again last night with the Inkey List HA serum and there was zero grainy-ness, so what you mix it with matters. Iโm not looking for extra exfoliation as Iโve been upping the acids lately.
Thanks so much for the update @eshoe. That's great that they put it in a dark bottle. I have some of the HA inkey serum, so that's good to know! I'm not always the best at knowing which products are good to mix and which acids can be combined, so this is helpful! ๐
Youโre welcome @PrettyPaint! Iโm just experimenting myself๐ Will keep you posted.
The neogen powder sounds very interesting @eshoe!
Itโs a great little experiment @faeriegirl, you use such a small amount that it should last through many. Weโll see!
Will be interested in hearing your thoughts on how this Neogen Vit C powder compares with the other ones you've tried @eshoe. Which other(s) have you tried? Fresh?
So far Iโve tried the Fresh and the Masqueology, @itsfi. I just blended the Neogen with the The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL and there was zero grainy-ness; in fact it was a very smooth application. So far the most pleasant, and good as I exfoliated earlier in my masking tonight.
Iโm guessing youโve tried it as well? Do you have a favorite blend/mix for it?
@eshoe, I had a foil of the Neogen Vitamin C. I really like the formula - having such a stable form of Vit C is very nice. Eminence Organic makes a rosehip Triple C + E Oil that I'm quite fond of (I'm not fond of the pricing on it though). I've combined the Neogen Vit C and The Ordinary rosehip seed oil - that's probably one of my favorite blends.
Thank you for the tip, @itsfi, I havenโt blended it with an oil yet so I will try that soon. I havenโt been using oils as of late thanks to the heat but itโs starting to cool off, yay!
Hmmm maybe I needed to turn it around @lmaster, will try that on the next one if itโs uncomfy. Thanks for the tip๐
@eshoe hopefully that will help! I had a feeling I wasn't wearing it right ๐คฆ
@eshoe Sounds like a fun masking session! Glad to hear the Face Shop mask turned out great despite having to abort the chin strap. I have a feeling I wouldn't end up liking the strap either
I'll be super interested in reading your thoughts on the Neogen after you've had more time to play with it! I've been curious about that one! ๐
Iโm very curious about the Neogen too, @Shosh85. I havenโt noticed much of any immediate brightening effects, but I donโt know if this is a product that gives results over time...which is why Iโm holding out on results๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Forgot to mention that while it Ole it looks like a finely milled powder, it does feels a bit grainy on my skin, similar to the AP Enzyme Powder.
Doing some catch up here. I used the meet up mask a few days earlier for a Watermelon Wednesday, but depending on what my skinโs needs may be, I might use the Look At Me Watermelon Face Mask again tomorrow. Wednesdayโs L was for Look At Me and some goodies that I received from the always generous and lovely @Shosh85 and @Tamara76 โ thank you ladies. These treats were a such wonderful surprises and but even better has been your friendship. Thank you for your goodness to me and countless others. โค๏ธ โค๏ธ
I am so happy you enjoyed them @itsfi !(I just found all these unanswered messages in my inbox - lol)
Mmmmmm @itsfi. What a lovely themed masking experience. I love the scent of watermelon. Glad you enjoyed everything! ๐
