Good morning! I can't believe it's the middle of June already!

Please let us know what you purchased this week and how you're enjoying it. Is it a new purchase or a re-purchase of a favorite product.

Are ya'll sitting down? Here's my list:

Nothing. I purchased no beauty products this past week. LOL

Hope everyone is doing well and I'm looking forward to reading all the posts!

Happy Thursday Beauties. We're having company today, our son and GD. I just finished making a batch of broccoli cauliflower salad. Ribs are seasoned and getting happy in the fridge. I still have to make some keto corn muffins. Definitely looking forward to this meal later today. The weather is still dry here. We've been on a no burn order for the last week and just received a call from the sheriff's office that it's being extended anioher week. DH waters daily, but the farthest areas of our lawn are brown and I have one hydrangea that looks like it could stand a good drink. We have had a little rain this week but not enough.

Here's my list for the week:

Silicone Case for Makeup Sponge - I don’t like the idea of a damp makeup sponge (beauty blender style) sitting out on the counter. The case was inexpensive and has holes so the sponge can dry between uses.

Skinn Supersize Cleansers & Headband TS (auto ship) - I used these for years, took a break, and now I’m going back. Still en route - ETA Saturday

Skinn Lip Oil Trio - I’ve been using the Skinn Lip 6x Serum at bedtime, but wanted something different for daytime. It was on sale and the reviews were pretty good so I thought I’d get the set. Still en route - ETA Saturday

Skinn Hand Restore (A/S) - this is an old favorite. I have some other hand creams to use or gift, but I’ve been wanting to get back to this one. When I looked on HSN, the inventory was low. Auto ship was a available so I bought it since I had the chance. Still processing - ETA next week

Therapeutic Massage - monthly session with hot stones and cupping

Wet ‘n’ Wild Megaglo Stick Blush - three shades (Dusty Pink, Say It Ain’t Rose, Current Jam) - I’ve been using another shade and like it. They’re super inexpensive so I thought I’d try a few others. They just give color, no glitter, and can be used as lip color too.

I purchased the Skinn cleanser TS on HSN. First time I have purchased this brand.

Well yesterday was my last day at my current job. I am in the process of interviewing with another school district but if I get the job I won't start working until August. So today is my first day of summer vacation! I am celebrating by having a massage this afternoon.

I purchased Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Shampoo and Conditioner. I was an avid user of Bumble and Bumble shampoos and conditioners for awhile as the salon I went to at the time used them and sold them. I think I got out of the habit of using them during a period when I was wearing my hair curly and I started using Deva Curl. Anyway, the shampoo and conditioner is a new formula and does not have sulfates or silicones. The Seaweed line is gentle so I can use it every day which I might do this summer since I am spending the summer at our beach house and I like to wash my hair after spending a day at the beach.

Hi Ladies

I picked up at Target the Raw Sugar Body wash in Pineapple , Maqui berry , coconut. I really enjoy Raw Sugar quality products , reasonably priced and cruelty free .I also picked up a mini size of Naturium Niacinamide Gelee face wash . With warming weather coming I like to switch to a lightweight cleanser . I also purchased the GCQQ Acrylic MAkeup Pallete with spatula from Amazon . I saw that on a Camille Cowher video for the Fiera concealer . I use it today and its really nice to thin out concealer .

Have a great day everyone . Look forward to hearing about everyones purchases

Not much for me this week::Skinn Pep40 Baumé Riche lip trio from HSN. I received yesterday and tried it. It's not as emollient as the 6X Lip Serum, but is a nice day time alternative for me. It isn't waxy and has no discernible fragrance. I noticed on a lot of reviews that users are using on other wrinkles and lines as well as lips, so may try that out too. (Wanted to buy the TS cleansers, but I have way too many now and absolutely must use some up!)

That's it for me beauties. Looking forward to seeing other purchases and descriptions.

Trying to find a mascara that I like. Picked up Maybelline Colossa in Glam Black. So far I am liking this one.

EOS Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion...this stuff smells AMAZING! Just like caramel and sugary sweet vanilla. Also scent lasts on my skin for a good long while. Super hydrating and the price point for such a huge bottle is incredible. Highly recommend this one. I have had it for a few weeks and think I forgot to post about it.

Forgot made one other purchase! Colgate Optic White Pen...this is really different. You put this gel on your teeth at night and it makes this light weight "film" on the teeth when dry and stays on all night long. Not sure if it's working...only used it for 3 nights so far. You just brush it off in the morning.

@tsavorite - The Colgate Optic White Pen sounds interesting to me. Will be curious to know as time goes on if you have any sensitivity in the mornings.

@JudyL I have very sensitive teeth so this purchase was a risk! So far so good will post a review if that changes!

This week's short list of goodies You ladies are killing me, so I am heading into a no-buy period and waiting for my last purchases to arrive.

Philosophy 3 piece Set Bergomont-I dipped my toe into Philosophy this week. The set included Body Wash, Lotion, and 4-fl oz eau de toilette. I like this scent.

Korres Velvet Skin Drink - Santorini Grape-I have been wanting to try this since someone here recommended it. I got a small bottle in the poolside pack I bought at Ulta last week, but I haven't tried it yet, but this was on sale for a great price, so I couldn't let it pass me by.

Korres 3-piece Supersize Vanilla Chestnut and Sugar Plum Body Set with Tote. These were recommended on here, so I grabbed them on auto-ship. I will cancel if I don't like them when I open them.

Beekman 1802 Multipurpose Wonder Milk Buttery Skin-I have enjoyed Beekman products and various oils. I saw this, the reviews are good, and I am always down to try a new oil. The jar is a pretty good size, so this will last a while. I used this last night on my feet, and they felt great this morning. I am happy with this purchase.

Elf blush cream in Bora Bora-Another finds courtesy of this board. It is a beautiful color and goes on easily. I am happy with this purchase.

Elf Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Balm-A repurchase that I will never stray from again. The Elemis just was not my favorite.

Maybelline- 24-hour lip gloss in pink. A repurchase, I am not a lipstick girl. I like to slap this on, and it stays all day.

I purchased two trial sets of Prai neck cream for my daughters who are always complaining about their necks. It was a special deal on the website of $25 for each kit, which contained two jars of generous-sized product. They even included a jar for me as an extra.

My neck is not too bad, all things considered, but it will be fun to see if we note any improvements.

teganslaw — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 20:28:36 GMT

I added to my purchases from the Korres website.

White tea shower gel. I haven't tried this scent before, but reviews are positive.

Yoghurt probiotic nourishing gel cream. I redeemed my circle points for this item, so it was free!

I like the yoghurt cleanser and the trial sample of the yoghurt mask I received, so thought this would be good.

Free shipping and no tax included. I think I'm set with purchases for awhile. Everything I had ordered from Sephora and Korres this week came to about $45. Good deals all around.

New for me is the Bloomeffects sunscreen serum. I like the Bloomeffects moisturizer a lot, and the fact that the ss is zinc oxide and a serum, also higher protection than Active Argan (which I also like a lot.)

Received LG's bravo brow pencils, but not entirely happy with this, so may be returning. Tarte or EL is so much better!

I purchased the full size (1.7 oz) K18 hair mask (I would love to find a dupe or something similar for this, since it is very expensive)

I put in a first time order with Charlotte Tilbury. I am trying the setting spray and a cream eyeshadow.

I also ordered a Catrice concealer and lipstick but have not received yet.

@ninjawife Thanks for the info on the B&B products. I used to use some B&B products, but then I started avoiding sulfates (color) and then silicones (curly) although I do now allow some silicones back in my hair now.

I caved and bought the Tweak'd 2XL Fiber spray 2 pk (Wig in a Can). Wanted to see how it compared to the uber expensive Oribe I have a travel size of. It has some ingredients I object to, but if I don't use it every day maybe I won't have to worry about buildup.

Going on a mousse hunt------been trying to find a light weight one. My hair is thin and fine and stick straight and everything weighs it done within hours--I went to Sallys and bought one called BTZ Noodle Head---weird name---tried Paul Mitchells mousse--big fat zero!! Am trying hard to use it all up and not have a collection of unused mousse in my bathroom----not much room for a bunch of mousse---

@wagirl Would you consider a different kind of styling product? My hair is shortish and fine. I've been very happy with Tweak'd Churri Styling Cream. Just a small amount is all I need and my hair doesn't get weight down. It stays light and lifted for a good couple of days, sometimes three.. I use Tweak'd volumizing formulas for cleansing and conditioning too.
