Good morning!

Neogen Peeling Mousse - bought this from HSN and have been using for 2 weeks, every 2 or 3 days. At 69, I have noticeable large pores from age and a lifetime of very oily skin. I've tried several products and cleansing methods over the years to keep those pores cleaned out. I'm kind of a fanatic about it. After rubbing this peeling mousse onto my skin, there are tiny black balls that form on my skin's surface. I really can't tell if this is dirt from my pores, or if the mousse itself forms black balls as it dries. But, I'm happy to report that my pores do appear to be smaller and, in some places, my complexion is smooth as glass now. Since I haven't added any other new products to my routine, it's probably the Neogen causing the improvement. Time will tell.

Bought some "Flower" colorless finishing powder to replace my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores. Haven't used it yet - will review another week.

Moringa oil has been gaining popularity so I decided to buy some. Should arrive today...stay tuned.

@tototwo Suggestion - try mousse on your hand and see if you have the same reaction.

Okay, I just put some moringa oil on my really dry arms. It sinks right in. Has a herbal smell to it but pleasant. It's not sticky or greasy. My arms look very hydrated and the crepiness is not as noticeable either. I like it!

The Magic Mist spray to set your makeup by e.l.f. is really nice. I held it 12 inches from my face and, of course, closed my eyes. I believe it was $3.00.

Hi @Katcat1 - did that, but not on my hand. I rubbed the mousse on the under side of my arm, between my wrist and elbow. I still got a few black balls, but only about 5-8 of them and they were microscopic. I really had to search for them. When I rub it on my face, I get much bigger clumps and 30+ every time.

Morning! Purchased the Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Overdrive color.

Very similar to their Junkie shade, only Overdrive doesn’t have the sparkle/glitter? of Junkie shade which is a dark green.

Still hoping Urban Decay will someday put out a true green that is not lime or neon or forest green color.

Some Lipstick Queen lipsticks from Winners in Canada.

The Chess Bishop Determined mauve matte lipstick. This is a demi-matte orchid shade.

The Eden Red glossy lipstick for my daughter.

The Morning Sunshine color change (from yellow to coral) glossy lipstick for myself.

The Hello Sailor blue sheer glossy lip topper lipstick. This doesn't look good by itself as it can make your bare lips look like you are turning blue but can turn a warm toned lipstick into a cool tone one.

The Saint Bare Nude lipstick for my mom.

@Katcat1

Have you seen the shampoo sale at Acure?

Re: THURSDAY BEAUTY P&R 7/19/18

Katcat1 — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 20:46:11 GMT

@just bee Thank you for thinking of me. I recently purchased the Lemongrass Clarifhing and the volume shampoo so I am set for now. I am surprised I did not receive an email on it. Enjoy your weekend!

Looking forward to your feedback on the new shampoo!

@just bee The Lemongrass Clarifying shampoo is wonderful. It removes buildup and stops itching without harsh detergents. The Peppermint & Echinacea volume shampoo is also nice. Adds a little volume to my hair. I am extremely happy with both and they both smell wonderful.

@Katcat1

I like the lemongrass formula more than I thought I would, but resisted the urge to stock it when our local "natural food" store had it discounted at 35%.

I still want the Pear & Fig shampoo to go with the conditioner I purchased when Acure had their BOGO sale. It's available again on the site but it's not on sale.

@just bee It seems the Pear/Fig is quite popular but I have not tried it. I do want to try the Marula & Coconut I believe it is called. I am fond of quite of few of their products but I did experience a reaction from the day cream with the brightening so I had to stop using. Other than that, no problems. I also like that the co. is family owned and I believe give a percentage of their profits to A cure for breast cancer.

@Katcat1

If you see it on sale, pick up the coconut. The scent is worth it but I still haven't decided if I like what it does for my hair. Keep in mind that I'm in the high desert so my hair reacts to products one way when it's particularly dry and another when we actually have some humidity.
