Sephora

@jujitsuskincare have you tried Paula's Choice Body Acne Spray?

Thanks @makeitup305 ! I assume brands decide how many shades to let another retailer sell. NARS has done it before with their powder blush range and lipsticks; I don’t think Sephora’s ever sold all (or even most) shades of NARS blush. The brand’s arrangement with Sephora might be different from Nordstrom in terms of shade range, and it’d be interesting to find out why Eh, maybe Sephora’s getting more shades later. I wound up not wearing any makeup over the weekend, so no blush test. 😒 Will do that this week instead.

@taysirene Are you sure they’re blackheads? There are other things people mistake for blackheads, such as sebaceous filaments. Has a dermatologist diagnosed your skin? A derm can also extract blackheads or recommend personalized treatments, especially for sensitive skin (assuming yours is sensitive, based on your thread title). Closed comedones can take months to clear, so you need to be consistent and patient there. This is another thing a derm can address. To reduce this type of acne, I use azelaic acid (my favorite is Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster 1 oz/ 30 mL) which also helps other skin conditions I have; I apply it twice a day. I also use salicylic acid a few times a week, and vitamin A (the retinoid family; in my case, retinaldehyde) daily. An AHA exfoliating serum 1-3 times a week also helps with maintenance. Your results may vary, based on your particular skin and what’s really going on there. Rather than throw more money at products that might not help you, I recommend seeing a derm if you can.

I just bought the Pure Grace, and it smelled like old lady soap on me! I will be returning it

If you're making a purchase today, Rakuten is 15% cashback right now. Both the large gwp and the dry shampoo gwp are now OOS 🙄

thanks so much @CookieGirl1 !

@caitbird I hate using the app for BIC. I can't look up notifications, when I scroll down the home page the threads just repeat, I can't comment on longer reply chains, etc. I rarely use it.
