I agree with you on the Tatcha experience. It just feels luxurious, like a treat! Glad to see you got some better skin with the betterskin!
Ha ha @missjeanie yes I did get some better skin😄
that sheet mask sounds super interesting @eshoe love a good detox sheet mask
Facetory had a detox sale 50% off a few of their masks recently @Kim888. I’m about 50/50 for picking out masks blindly, so was happy to have chosen a good one👍🏼😉
I see the pretty picture, I can’t wait to read @lmaster 🤩!!!
@eshoe The Betterskin mask sounds great!! I love biocellulose – though, I've never had one quite that long! Haha! That really is long! Glad everything else was good! 👍😉
Not only did it meet up with my neck, @Shosh85, but because of the shape it was folded on top of itself so it was like a lumpy mask clump😆 But a good one!
Man, I wish I had more time to actually hang out on BIC but it’s been so hectic. I feel guilt for not commenting on people’s posts. I’m trying to keep up with the masking though so I don’t completely lose myself in conference season.
I’m treating my lips with Jill Stuart lip balm in 01 which keeps with the women owned company theme (A++++) and am doing the SNPJelly Vita Birghtening toning mask. (A+) I already know I like this one. It’s hard to find a jelly mask I don’t like.
A mask with Jelly Beans!!! This looks fantastic @heartsmyface !
Don't feel guilty (I know.. easier said than done), everyone has busy days where we squeeze in what we can. No one here would take it to heart at all! We're happy so long as you are, and sometimes that means not being able to dedicate a whack of time. You more than make up for it with quality when you're here!
@lmaster Haha, and here I am needing to get it out of my life! It’s been around for a while and needs moving out. Jill Stuart has the best packaging fin houre wanting to feel like a princess! I wear black and look sévère a lot but my makeup packaging tastes tell a different story about me
@heartsmyface I'm always wanting to feel like a princess 😂
@heartsmyface The SNP mask looks so fun! I love jelly masks as well and I've also had really good luck with this brand! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Dont feel guilt about not commenting!! I don't think anyone takes it personally on here!! That's great you're still masking despite your hectic schedule!! 👍
Ooooh, Jill Stuart packaging gets me every time @heartsmyface! So pretty. Kudos to you for using the lip balm. I might just stare at the jar ... or buy two - one to look at and one to use. Hahaha! 😆 Adding that SNP mask on my list - I knew I should have picked up a box when I saw it!
I hope things settle down and are less hectic for you soon! No guilt though, okay?!! You contribute so much when you are on BIC, heartsmyface - with your great pics, posts, masks and beauty recs, comments and hearts; sometimes there’s just not enough time to do all that we want.
@itsfi i have easy access to more Jill Stuart every fall so no fears about using her products. If anything I can’t get through them fast enough for the next gorgeous packaging release which I HAVE to have.
Hee hee the jelly beans are brilliant @heartsmyface , SNP has some nice masks!
Someone posted a few few pics of a Jill Stuart boutique recently it was stunning. Can’t remember where it was or who posted it, but it was beautiful and I could probably live there 😂
@eshoe I cannot keep myself out of her shops! I will never be satiated! Give me more gorgeous packaging!!!

@itsfiI need to remember to pull that Tart Treatment out and use it more. I don't think I've touched it but for once this year. I usually go in straight with it, but I do feel a tingle... I actually really like this tingle lol.
I've been meaning to try the SDJ lip balm as well, but something else just always kinda floats my way before I get to it. I've got to admit, I always hoped that it smelled like the bum bum cream.
I completely understand @missjeanie - it’s so easy for a lip balm to eek out another. I have so many and yet feel like I’m in need of more. Hahahaha! 😂🤣😂 Oh wow! That’s great you can go straight in with the Tarte Knockout.
