Yes! Isabella posted a great review of the Tatcha balm. She didn't like it very much and was disappointed. She's a huge fan of Mally Pore Defender and even felt compelled to promote it again a few days ago. She reviews a lot of QVC products and I tend to trust her because her reviews are detailed and she seems to give her honest opinion, as she did with the Tatcha primer.

 

I used to have very oily skin and it's gotten incredibly dry in the last few years as I've gotten older. Isabella has always had dry skin and I've picked up a few of the products she loves for her dry skin (Dr. Jart's Ceramidin Cream and Ceramidin Liqud, so here on QVC) and they were fantastic for my dry winter skin. 


I don't think I can post links to her reviews, but here's a link to her site and you can search for reviews by product name. She used to get the QVC insider and would often review QVC TSVs before they aired - I miss that.

I'm a little bit tempted to try the new IT bronzer.  I'm probably going to cave on that one.


Before you cave on the Tatcha oil, see if you can get a sample at a local store. Of all the cleansing oils I've tried, that was the most drying and I did not repurchase. It was too bad, because I liked the way it felt, the way it smelled, and the way it turned milky and rinsed off easily. But it left my skin feeling dry and tight.

Re: What beauty items are you tempted to try?

I'm tempted by the PTR Hungarian Thermal Water Mask.  Don't ask me why.  I know I don't need it, and it's probably not anything special and it's too expensive.  Maybe it's the pretty packaging (I don't usually care much about packaging, but it is pretty), and the fact that I love masks.  Smiley Very Happy

Re: What beauty items are you tempted to try?

 

As long as I like what I’m using, why would I be tempted to try new products?

 

I already tried many makeup and skincare products to get to this point of being satisfied...skin looks and feels good. Why change?

@Daysdeewrote:

I saw the Tatcha balm that works like a primer and really interested in trying that.  I have never purchased Tatcha.  Also, saw the Vita Liberata item that can be used as a  primer and maybe in place of foundation.  The one they showed today is exclusive to QVC for a few months.  I think maybe this would work best on someone younger.  (senior citizen here)  This brand offers a lot of tanning products, which I don't use.   Did receive the three piece Elemis skincare set that contains Superfood  items---Facial Oil, Facial Wash and Day cream.  I  like the feel and scent of it, but to soon to tell if does anything. 


I'm tempted by the Tatcha silk canvas balm, too! @Daysdee

@JeanLouiseFinch, I ordered the IT Bronzer. Haven't worn a bronzer in years because I just can't find one that I like and works with my dry skin. Since I like IT Bye Bye Pressed Powder decided to give this a try. It really does look very nice. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will like it. 


@Tricolor  I did too so we'll be crossing fingers together.  I've tried several bronzers over the years and can never find one that works.  I don't know if it's the actual product or the way I'm applying but some look really muddy on me.  I ordered Dimitri's new foundation last week and actually got one in Deep, besides the one in my actual skintone, hoping to play with that as a contouring product.  Even so, I'll experiment with this IT bronzer too and see which I like best.  I just hope the IT one isn't too glowy.  Time will tell.

Re: What beauty items are you tempted to try?

I watched the video on the Tatcha SIlk Canvas Pre Makeup Balm.  This is a primer.  I thought Mally's Defender was used to set, after makeup was applied, so they are different products  I would try this Tatcha Balm but its too expensive.  Over $50 with shipping and tax.

       Tatcha cleansing oil came with my Clarisonic purchase use as first cleanse. Not something I would buy or care using after finishing up. This week ordered Clarisonic cleanser (Gel) used before very much enjoyed. Yes like you want to try the the new IT bronzer. Love the IT's last TSV kit, Blush is so beautiful.


The very best cleansing oil I've used is Shu Uemura. It's pricey, and sometimes  hard to find, but fabulous!!!😃 @Sweet_Serenity@JeanLouiseFinch

@Alison Wonderland  what I said I'd probably cave on was the new IT bronzer.  My momentary curiosity about the Tatcha oil was just that, momentary curiosity because they offered a huge bottle for what seemed to be a great price, for them, but not enough to get me to shell out double what I pay for the cleansing oil I've been using for years.  I've heard/read about it drying some people out.  Funny thing, when Tatcha launched a few years ago, I liked the concept but not the price.  I was inspired to look for dupes and that's how I sort of stumbled on the one I'm using.  I've sampled a few others and just don't like them.  It's  Dr. Young Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil for me.  It gets applied dry, turns into a milk w/a little water, and rinses nicely, leaving a smooth, soft result.

Thanks, @skyblue, but I'm sticking with the one I've been using for several years - Dr. Young Camellia Deep Cleansing Oil.  I've tried others here and there and none of them can beat it.
