Oh yaaaaaaaay!! @missjeanie so much fun trying new masks 😉
@missjeanie I may have sent you the 8-Flower one, in either case, I hope you enjoy it😊
@eshoeoh now I'll need to check! I pulled it out for this week but clearly didn't look too closely yet!
I think I am going to so one this morning, @missjeanie. I just used the DRUNK ELEPHANT - A-Passioni™ Retinol Creamlast night (I’m at about every 2-3 nights now) so could use some extra hydration. Noticed some dry patches on my cheeks the other day (visibly, not after makeup application) so I definitely need more moisture!
@eshoeI've been back to everynight now for three nights and still ok... but I know that i've been extra generous with the lala at night with the Passioni and extra cautious with how much of the retinol. I'm glad you're up to three times a night now! Any effects other than some dryness? Are you still glowing the next morning?
Ha ha yes, skin still looks great in the morning @missjeanie! I have noticed one of the two small bumps I have on my face is almost gone, the other is just slightly diminished. What concerns me the most is that the texture of my skin seems slightly exaggerated. Like when you do a have mask that is supposed to tighten your pores, and it does that, but it also kind of ‘puffs it up?’
I am talking about extreme close-ups in the mirror, it’s not noticeable from further away. I don’t feel it is helping with fine lines yet, maybe that just takes longer as well as a stronger dose. @naturalooks15
I know exactly the type of texture you're talking about @eshoe ... I've been there with a 10X mirror wondering where the heck did that come from? I have texture to my skin as well normally (thank you ageing), but I noticed this week and last it has been worse, probably only really noticeable to me, but none the less... I thought it might have been because I had stopped the retinol so suddenly, but maybe its the retinol itself? I do know that I haven't noticed a reduction in texture at all yet, which is what I was hoping for with this. I'm petty okay with any of the 'wrinkles' I have at the moment, but the texture i'd love to see gone lol
YES @missjeanie! I don’t mind the lines! But the texture I’m not too keen on. I noticed the exact same thing happening with another product (I’ve tried 3 total retinols/retinoids) which is why I stopped. The two tiny bumps I have are so small and don’t bother me. We’ll see after a couple of more months🤔
@lmaster I like the sound of this one! There were others in the line that I know some didn't like – glad to hear this one was great! 👍
I swear by this one! It is an investment, but so worth it. #UFO
Looks amazing! I love foreo but I haven't tried the ufo yet. I saw there is a variety of Korean masks that can be used with it. Have you tried some of them? Which one would would you recommend?
My go- to mask is Make My Day. Glow Addict is very slippery and doesn't stay on very well. The others are all fine. Well, I have only tried three kinds.
Monday night's masking included a couple of Loves and a 'meh'. There was also a sample lip balm that will be a full size purchase and a full size mask that I first tried in DS form.
Bummer about the PTR, but on the plus... at least it's a small size and you didn't buy a full size to find out you didn't like it? I tried that glamglow and while it didn't work for me, I just LOVED the sent!!
Yes @missjeanie! 🙂 It would be a complete let down if I purchased a full size of the PTR mask. I try to pick up samples first because my skin can be finicky about products. Sorry the ThirstyMud didn't work out for you - if you don't mind me asking, was it not hydrating enough or did you have a bad reaction to the product? I agree, the scent on that mask is great. That mask and the Too Cool For School Coconut Ceramide mask are my two favorite coconut scented masks.
@itsfiI broke out in hives from the Glamglow. I would put it on and about 10 minutes later... hives everywhere, then the next morning after the benadryl and claratin had done it's thing I'd have a whole host of super tiny pimples. The pimples would go away in a day or so as they were so tiny. I tried it a few times just to make sure it wasn't something else and because I wanted to love it so much. Bummer, but alas, there are lots more fish in the sea! I'm happy the TCFS masks have a great scent, I love to have a lovely scent accompany my masks!
@itsfi I have the lip therapy on deck for tonight! I’m on my second (maybe third....) tube 🙈
It’s such a good balm @cianni! I think it says a lot if a product is repurchased again and again! 😃
