My Clarisonic arrived yesterday. I've been without one for about a year and I'm so glad I got another one. It really does an excellent job with cleansing your face.

I fell out of love with mine about a year ago...and then rediscovered it about 4 months ago. Why oh why did I shelve it for so long? It seriously does a great job for me. SaveSave

I need to stop reading these threads! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) I haven't worn make up much in a couple of years because first, I can't see well up close with my contacts in and second, I look like I let a 2 yr. old do my makeup! I used to be so good at it when I was younger, not sure what happened. I also look older with make up on, so I am doing something wrong! But with all these beauty threads, you all make it sound so much fun! I am learning words I was unfamiliar with (highlighting, contouring, even though I still don't understand them, ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg) Tarte, Elf, Benefit, etc.!). I need to get a full time job just to afford make up. We have an ulta a mile away and I am making a big list of stuff for when we can start spending again!

I bought one a couple years ago and never used it, so gave it to my daughter. What cleanser do you use with it? We only have the Cetaphil cleanser, would that work? I have tried the Garnier Micellar water but it stings my eyes, so I can't use it.

I usually use Vichy micellar water and it's much more gentle on my eyes. I don't know the price difference, but I do notice it doesn't bother me as much. Good luck!

I bought elf's Illuminating Palette and use the shade on the bottom left. It's a great finishing powder to give you a glow but matte look.

I got the next strength of Retin A at the dermatologist today. It stings my skin. I also bought a big container of AHA and BHA exfoliant. That should be interesting to see if it works. I didn't think the lower does of Retin A was working any longer. I have super sensitive skin so this is just the usual Rx strength they start you off with in the US and i feel it burning. I put some lotion on over it and that settled everything down again. I will keep doing that tonight if it starts to hurt.
Is anyone else using Retin-A or retinol?

Hi well I exfoliated this morning and bought some Glaxal Base Moisturizing Lotion to put on my skin. They have a new formula for it and it isn't greasy any longer. My skin is silky smooth. I used my Avรจne exfoliator gel and a new Korean wash cloth. *shhh* I wanted the dead skin off once and for all. I am not that happy with the colour of my skin. I wear the lightest foundation known to mankind. I have bought several different foundations and the lightest in all colours because that's the colour of my skin, but it still looks kind of dark. I should look at it outside today because the sun is shining and I will get a good picture of the colour I think. I think as long as youโre removing your make up, cleansing your skin and following up with a moisturiser - youโre doing enough. Everything else is optional in my opinion but removing your make up properly and replenishing your skin with moisture is not. Your routine sounds good to me!

Sorry Delta Dawn I quoted the wrong post. I guess the only thing Iโd add in to your routine is an eye cream if you donโt already had one.

I tried a free sample of Charlotte tilbury night cream, I got two samples I will use the second one but I hated it, it was so sticky and I feel like Iโd need to put it on an hour before going to bed
Iโve been using the tidal brightening enzyme water cream from Sunday Riley that I got in spacenk in Dublin I really like it. It was โฌ26 for a tiny jar, I am getting a free jar the same size with my cultbeauty Sunday Riley order which is great I will buy it when I run out I think or if I can get a deal

You probably had the money saved up forever knowing that he would release one, right? ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) The ND palette that one was just itching to get sent to you. I don't blame you one bit!

As for the Lila palette Iโve wanted it for ages and yesterday when I finally got to order the brush after our school show I was crying and really upset cause my horrible aunt basically made me feel like shit cause I donโt have any kids of my own so I bought it in a screw you moment, made me feel so much better

You totally deserved the brush. I am planning to order it, too. It looks wonderful. I wore highlighter today which was a change for me. I had to do two passes with it. It is very pretty but not glittery. It's just nice. (It was CD).

Has anyone tried the perricone md no make up make up line?

Post by gigi333 on Dec 17, 2017 7:16:10 GMT
Iโm offically obsessed with perricone md
Yesterday I used their, eye lid serum itโs excellent Iโve been using it for several days and my eye lids are definitely less wrinkly
The products I have are DMAE firming pads, I like them H20 elemental firming foam mask ( free gift ) cold plasma cream, smells slightly weird but itโs fantastic and the smell isnโt so bad and goes quickly
Anti glutathione deep crease serum it arrived yesterday with another free cold plasma cream
High potency amine complex facelift, Iโm waitimg for this to arrive with another free cold plasma
So I havenโt used the foaming mask yet
Yesterday I used the other products
All I can say is wow wow wow, I used them around 9am and later around 7pm I realized wow my skin still feels like I put creams on not that long ago. I didnโt wear any make up yesterday as I was planning on a major cleaning day, then I suddenly had to go somewhere with my mom and when I looked at my face in the mirror in the car I did think I looked better than I usually do with no make up on, though still horrible
I think I will be switching my skin care to perricone md from now on, I really notice a difference and to be honest Iโm not great at using any types of face creams and really need to start taking it seriously, but any other times Iโve used stuff Iโve never noticed much of a difference

So have you bought any nice make up as gifts for Christmas๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป๐คถ๐ป Ummm maybe? There would be a little CD here and there (eye shadow and micellar water) and maybe some MAC (foundation, lipstick and something else. I forget what? It's in a bag already). There is quite a bit from Sephora, too. I got a 3 pack of Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. That stuff kills all dryness and smells amazing! I got a Clarisonic gift set and a foundation brush head, Stilla liquid lip trio, Bobbi Brown shimmer brick highlighter in pink quartz, IT CC cream in the lightest shade because of my glow in the dark pale skin, some new brushes from this seller on Amazon that I have had amazing luck with, a makeup mirror with lights, some microfibre face towels and I think that's about it. I just had my birthday in November (end of November so I shopped during the VIB sale so I picked up a lot of stuff then). I also found the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray in a bag, and a light pink beauty blender! Some stuff I bought for my birthday didn't work out. I got a Bare Minerals nude liquid lip and the colour looks totally wrong on me. The formula is awful but the smell is delicious! I got a Becca highlighter fluid thing and it burns my skin. That went back. I have some retinol cream I am going to return to the dermatologist's office because it gives me nothing but grief.

I may have conveniently left out what I did not have a reaction to and kept. I mean there was still stuff I bought and loved...lots of Tarte. Lots of it! I just love their makeup!

I follow Angie on Hot and Flashy on YouTube and she uses Rapid Lash or whatever eye serum every night. I went to 3-4x week with Latisse and my lashes aren't that great right now so I am back to using it every night. The generic costs about the same as Rapid Lash does in Canada so I will just go back to using it every night and be good with that. I want my lashes to stay really full and nice.

I read that you really shouldn't use waterproof mascara on a regular basis as it is really harsh on your lashes.
