@itsfi  Great list!!! That candle is the cutest!!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @ather! 🤗 The candle is a lot of fun!

@lnum  When I saw your picture I thought it was the CD cuticle oil. Has the lip balm been discontinued?? I haven’t seen the cuticle oil either. I had my mom find one for me and ship it!!! 

[lnum]

@ather They discontinued the lip balm a few years ago and I didn’t find out until it was too late or I would have bought another back up.  I haven’t seen the apricot nail Creme in awhile either and it seems to be OOS online so they may have discontinued that too! 

[itsfi]

Beautiful favorites @lnum. I'll mourn alongside you over the Dior balm and Herbivore Bakuchiol. 😞 Such great products! 

Hmmm, I was not aware until now that O'Keefe made an exfoliating foot cream. Making a mental note...

[lnum]

@itsfi I swear I’m all about simple things making me happy lately, like this foot cream! Are you still shocked they discontinued both products? I am. 

[itsfi]

I hear you @lnum! Yeah, shocked and bummed by those two beauties being discontinued. 😔 This is now the second, maybe third ? product that I’ve loved from Dior that has been discontinued. I must not be buying enough to let them know to keep stocking it. Hahaha! 😝 I’ll do better. 😉 I’m hoping they’re just working on reformulating or repackaging the Dior balm. 

Have you found a good substitute for Herbivore Bakuchiol?

[lnum]

@itsfi It has been a few years since they discontinued the Dior Creme de Rose so I’m not confident it’s coming back. Not yet, I am switching to vitamin c at night when I am done with the Herbivore, and I think I will pick up the Alpyn Beauty Sleeping mask once I finish the glow recipe and belif ones I have. So many products to use so little face! 😂

I am also doing Laser Hair Removal on my face, and I’ve been able to incorporate a lot more Aha/bha products while its on pause. Once things open up I’ll likely start going more gentle and simple with my routine again because I can’t use anything harsh the week before and after my treatments.

My May Favourites, again I just don’t want to gather things to take a picture lol

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Refillable Exfoliator 2.6 oz/ 74g I love, maybe too much lol 😆 it does say DAILY. 
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 Original Why didn’t I discover you before? 
DR. DENNIS GROSS SKINCARE - Stress Rescue Super Serum with Niacinamide Stress break outs who? No more with this little sucker. 
DR. DENNIS GROSS SKINCARE - Ferulic Acid + Retinol Brightening Solution Ran out of my other retinol and I’m a DDG sucker. I love it so far. 
CINEMA SECRETS - Makeup Sanitizing Spray Because why not? It was a grand idea and took me an entire day. 

[PenelopeBT]

The Microfoliant is my favorite exfoliator because you see instant results. My skin is immediately softer and smoother. <333

[Kim888]

@GG84 I got the jack black one this year as well and it’s so great! Especially for the price 

[ather]

@GG84  I didn’t know there was such thing as a makeup sanitizer!!! So interesting!

[SportyGirly125]

@ather @It’s great for makeup artist or you can put 70-80% alcohol in a spray bottle. 

[ather]

@SportyGirly125  Thanks!! Maybe I’ll try that!

[lnum]

@GG84 Totally stand by sanitizing products to help prevent breakouts. I didn’t know Sephora carried this which makes it easier than ordering directly, definitely going in my next order next week, since I already ordered this morning. 😅

[SportyGirly125]

@lnum @I have the sanitizing spray and it works great or you can always put 70-80% alcohol in a spray bottle 

[itsfi]

Now I want to try that DDG serum even more @GG84! Is the serum scented? 

P.S. I was late to the game in discovering the Jack Black lip balms too, but I quickly made up for it by picking up several of the different flavors. 😉

[GG84]

@itsfi 

I don’t like scented skincare so I had to actually go open it to check, I hadn’t noticed a scent but if you deeply inhale there is an ever so light “fresh” scent I can’t put my finger on. But honestly I didn’t notice it and I’m halfway through my bottle. 

[itsfi]

Thank you @GG84. 🤗 A light fresh scent I can handle. I’ve been interested in this line but didn’t get a chance to look into it when stores were open. I may just go for it when I get through a couple of my serums.

I'm wanting to try that LANEIGE - Cream Skin Toner & Moisturizer. It was sold out when I tried to purchase it from the sale. Another time. @GeorginaBT
