This looks pretty! I usually skip right over Benefit.

I do too. But I'm going to check this one out.

I swatched that Benefit blush a couple of weeks ago. It looks like absolutely nothing on my skin. That brand has it's demographic and I'm clearly not a part of it.

Thanks Charisma :hug: I've been hesitant because I do like to exfoliate with sugar scrubs on my face but I know with the clarisonic that it would be overkill. I also feel Luke my face could benefit from a deep clean 2-3x a week.

I have the Clairisonic Plus and like it. When I first got it, I used it on my face everyday and that was too much. So I backed off and eventually only used it 1x/week. Now that my skin is acting crazy, I use it about 4x/week and can tell a difference. If you decide to get a Clairisonic, you should definitely listen to your skin so that you can determine how often you should use it I got my Clairisonic from QVC and paid for it over 6 months with some extra goodies included. I imagine that you could find a good deal since we are headed into the holiday season.

I LOVE the Boscia black cleanser! I guess I'll have to try the sponges. Thanks hun

btw -

Funny, after I posted I did that stupid match game & my prize was a Boscia Cleanser

I just got a new bottle of it---I like that it's warming when it touches your face. That is funny. You may like the sample and need to get that one too.

I want to hear about it if it's good!!!

TT! I'm so happy to see you! I was going to text you to check in with you but didn't want to overstep. I hope you stay around for a bit when you start feeling better.

Good to see you again, MissTT!

I was afraid of that. I just looked at the swatches on Karen's site. Looks like nothing on her too.

Got my hourglass blush palette and I'm in loveeee. I am NC50 and it shows up great on my skin, not unless I just got a really pigmented one.

*chants softly* swatch swatch swatch I love my Clarisonic but I can't use it more than once maybe twice a week, and I don't have sensitive skin. Am I doing something wrong?

Not at all. That's how much they're supposed to be used, actually. I just get addicted to the feeling afterwards, but nobody needs to exfoliate daily. It's overkill.

And this is why I usually skip Benefit.

clarisonic is not a exfoliation. I was specifically told that during their educational class. It does not exfoliate skin. And it is supposed to be used daily.

 

[Monsy]

I was told that clarisonic being exfoliant is big mis-communication between clarisonic and the customers. Brush does not exfoliate it only oscillates left and right moving skin around pores to help them be cleaned out better

 

[Medgal07]

i'm intrigued by this brush set. For the brushes, and the bag. Any experience with tarte's brush sets? Are they like mac sets and shit quality?

But they look nice. I'm just wondering how they would hold up to daily washing. I got several of the MAC sets to use for travel and they have lasted for several years. You're so right though Pretty, they're not top quality brushes but they get the job done in a pinch. I'd rather lose those while traveling then any of my good brushes.

I use my Clarisonic twice a day with a deep cleaning pad. It does a great job cleaning out my pores. I don't scrub at my skin though, I just move the brush lightly in a circular pattern over the surface of my skin. My husband and son found it too much for their skin, but my daughter and I love ours. I think it's an individual thing.

Between my Clarisonic and Paula's Choice, my skin hasn't looked this good since my teens. No, I'll never look 24 again and I still have some hyper pigmentation from spending entire 70s summers in the lake unprotected at my grandparents' cottage and some 80s vanity tanning, but my skin is brighter and clearer than it's been for years.

 

[Medgal07]

I'm not having breakouts I just feel irritated if I use it twice a day. Like it's too much for me. I was using Philosophy Purity with it for a while and then when that ran out I used my usual daily face wash.

It sounds like you know where to draw the line with your skin care needs---it felt irritated and you responded in kind. If it ain't broke......Your skin looks amazing Dilli!!

 

[Medgal07]

I do too. But I'm going to check this one out.
The color is sucking you in Pretty

Aww you're so sweet! Don't get yourself in trouble. A lot of us can wait for the VIB sale. And thanks for thinking of us!

Hope you are feeling better by now.

I'm addicted. I know hands down that the sponge cleared my little skin problem.

I just got a new bottle of it---I like that it's warming when it touches your face. That is funny. You may like the sample and need to get that one too.

I want to hear about it if it's good!!!

Which one of the four sponges did you get?

Good morning! I got the Cleansing Sponge to use w/ the Detoxifying Black Cleanser. BTW, I just ordered the Guerlain Météorites Perles d'Etoiles from Sephora. Super cute-----in gold like our iPhones.

My information came from Caroline Hirons. She knows her stuff and isn't beholden to any particular brand or product.
