@course24 - I use the Plasma Setting Veil for touch ups, it's in my handbag.

You should also consider the CC cream. It's treatment plus light coverage.  I think the cc cream + the dream finish 3D powder is a nice alternative to full coverage foundation. 

Intellitint CC Cream w/ HD Pigments:

• Balance color imperfections, brighten the look of dull skin and smooth the appearance of uneven skin texture
• Further enriched with apple extract, vitamins and peptides to help hydrate, soothe and firm skin
• Light botanical scent
• Near-liquid consistency
• Squeeze bottle w/ cap

Wow!!!! You must have a PHD in how to do all this. I could never keep that all staight. I recently bought his TSV with all the blue jars and peel. I can't peel but need to work on some pesky new wrinkles around my eyes and sides of mouth. My current Elysee isn't helping these issues. Someone said if you are using the same igriedients for years  you need to change because the technology has improved so much.

I just opened the sample of OPA I received with my last shipment.

I will say it was very smart of Dimitri to include a sample with Skinn purchases so the customer wouldn't buy it w/o testing the fragrance in advance.

Eww. P-U! Not a fan.

I tested this on my skin & placed some on a fabric to smell once it aired out & bloomed as well to give it a fair shot.

I must have a fragrance that leaves NO question that it's a feminine fragrance. This smells more like a Unisex fragrance to me. There are some masculine notes that REALLY turn me off. The scent is obnoxious & too busy/overpowering to the point of being an offensive scent imo.

I like Dimitri & all that he does for our skin, but for me this is where it stops, fragrance is NOT his calling imo. Either go back to the drawing board or leave the fragrance realm to someone else & stay the iconic expert you are in skincare.

Let me try to be as specific as posible as to what my nose senses in this fragrance:

Fruit & flower notes on top

Musk cedarwood notes in the middle

After shave/men body spray note on the bottom

For those of you who have received a sample of this fragrance, let me know what you smell. We all smell differently..Maybe I'm missing something here...or having a bad allergy/sinus day...

I would like to incorporate a facial spray into this regime.

I'm trying to decide between these 2 products (esp:for a summertime refresher):

Pure Energy Mineral Bath: (306-999)

I like to concept of spraying moisture on face at anytime you need it

Flash Flood Glacial Hydrating Mist: (311-642)

I like the idea of having minerals in a spray for face

Questions:

Have you used these items?

What do you find to be the difference between them?

Will the Mineral Bath spray offer moisture for face as well?

@course24 I actually have both.  I use the Flash Flood as part of my skincare routine and use the Pure Energy as a makeup setting mist (to use it up).  Originally, I purchased the Pure Energy to mist over masks, to keep them moist during the wait time.  Then I decided that was a waste of money because I was only dampening the surface of the mask and I could use water for that.  I had an A/D of the Pure Energy and a tube of BioCell Mask active for a period of time.  The BioCell Mask isn't something I'm using as often as I thought I might.  I've ended up with a few so I decided to cancel the A/D.  Honestly, I think the Flash Flood offers more benefits than the Pure Energy.

@course24 In response to your question, no I do not use any type of facial moisture spray. I feel that I do not need this step in my skincare. I am moist enough with just my regular routine and moisturizer. I usually try most items, but then only stick with the "must haves" for my skin. I am trying to keep it fairly simple, as I found I have way too many products to use at one time!

@JeanLouiseFinch

Thanks for the insight on this one.

Yeah, I think the Flash Flood Mist would be a better choice for me to use in summertime since I read the reviews & they say the Mineral Bath spray is too scented to be on the face. I tend not to like a lot of ccent on my face as well.

Question:

Have any of you used Dimitri's Sleeping Beauty Foam Eye Mask (311-785)?

Do you like it?

Do you think it offers any help in compression of puffy eyes (as D says it can)?

[JeanLouiseFinch]

@course24 - I bought the mask on eBay, but not for the compression benefit. I wanted to try it to help me sleep longer. More than once I lost it during the night. LOL

I know one thing. That Flash Flood mister has a fire hose nozzle on it. You have to stand back and use it at arm's length. I hate it. You'd think for the money it would be a nice, fine mist. I got it in a kit.

Hi @course24 isn't fragrance a funny thing? I bought the Opa off the sample card and I LOVE it...but I don't get the same scents you do...I get the citrus hit at the start but after the initial blast, I get vanilla and soft woods...nothing like men's aftershave to my nose (and I am a perfume LOVER! LOL I should be embarassed by the number of bottles of fragrance in my collection...but I am not hee hee ) 

The return policy at Evine goes until Jan 31st so send it back..I can't imagine using a perfume that didn't appeal to me or go with my chemistry (a big thing) I have gifted many a bottle to friends that just "didn't hit me right or go with my chemistry"... no harm no foul (other than return shipping) and sorry it didn't charm you like it has many other Dazzlers, myself included! Hugs
