Beauty Purchases This Week; 2/15/24

Good morning!  Let us know what you purchased this week and if it's something new you are trying or an old favorite.  Mini reviews are always helpful as some of us may be thinking of trying the products too.

 

Here's my list:

 

Timeless:  Their 40% off sale was still going on and I realized I was running low on the Matryxl Sythne 6 and would need to open my backup soon so decided to order some more.  I use this every night, it's a staple for me and at 40% off, it's a good time to restock.

 

Naturium:  Was watching a YT video by Dr. Sam Ellis and it was about different serums for dark spots/hyperpigmentation.  She mentioned Tranexamic Acid and Kojic Acid and Licorice Root were good things to have in one's routine.  So based on that and all the great reviews both on Amazon and on Naturium's website, I purchased the Tranexamic Acid 5% serum with Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, and Licorice Root.  Have only been using for a few days so can't give a review yet but will at a later time.

 

That's it for me.  Hope everyone is doing well and look forward to reading all the posts!

@JudyL 

 

Based on a discussion here, I ordered and have tried it for two days and that is Monistat Chafe Gel as a primer.

I am finding it makes me itchy, so this is a "no" for me.

I'm going to use my Isomers green label as a primer (will get the name).

I'm empty handed this week.  Not one beauty purchase for me.  

I will discuss the Scrubzz No Rinse Washing Sponges and the Scrubzz No Rinse Shampoo Caps, though.  I wouldn't use them on a regular basis but they have worked quite well for me.  I recommend them when showering or bathing isn't possible.

I'm awaiting delivery of the recent Dr Denese TSV.  It should be here today.  I'm excited to play with it to see if it works in my under eye puffiness.🤞

 

@JeanLouiseFinch    I really love the SCRUBZZ wipes too.  They work great when in a pinch.  I haven't tried the shower caps and probably won't because I have too much hair.  I'm sure they'd be great for those with short styles.

@JudyL where are you using the Naturium in your skin care routine--am, pm, between which steps, etc? I am interested in trying it.

Hope this helps!

I have never tried a hydrating essence but would like to add it to my morning routine. Which one do you suggest?

Thank you

I am running low on a staple.  Neutrogena Hydroboost City Shield SPF 25 moisturizer.  Bought 2 from the Neutrogena website to get free shipping.

@Squirt60  - Recently purchased HaruHaru Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner from Amazon and love it.  Was never a big believer in these until I tried this one.  Will definitely repurcahse when needed.
