Sorry if this has been discussed already but -

has as anyone tried the Sol de Janeiro body oils? I’m interested in them and thought I’d see if anyone her has an opinion first.

@Monsy - I have been using Phoenix and Orchid since you suggested them a couple weeks again, and thank you! My skin has been incredible since I started them!

I ordered both of these today. What did they do for your skin?

I just received the Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser & I really love it. The very very light strawberry scent is wonderful. It makes the skin feel incredibly soft & squeaky clean & smooth looking.

I hope you love them!

I have dry skin, more normal right now though since it’s been over 100 daily with high humidity here since early June. These oils absorb so beautifully into my skin. I have some fine lines over my eyebrows, and they have really helped plump that area up. The Orchid oil in the morning gives me a great canvas for whatever makeup I apply and does not interfere with anything I put over it, it just leaves my skin very hydrated and bouncy with no residue. Using the Phoenix oil at night, I wake up to a very glowy (but not oily) and healthy complexion!

They sound amazing. Thanks! Mine shipped & I can't wait to try them. Monsy knows her stuff lol. The reviews on both are really great.

I went ahead and ordered the Blue Tansey clarity mask as none of the other mask I've tried have satisfied me and this is the last one I wanted to try but held off because I was a bit skeptical about the potency of it but my skin might be able to tolerate it. Fingers crossed.

I have pretty much converted my skincare to Drunk Elephant. I've been slowly trying the products and have liked mostly everything so far. The night serum didn't work out because my skin doesn't like Gloyic acid. I tried the B-Hydra gel and my skin is liking it so far, I only use it at night. I just ordered the C-serum since the Ol Herenkson C-serum is just okay to me. Also ordered the Drunk Elephant eye serum to try. Hopefully I'll get good results with the eye serum and C-serum.

I like blue tansey but it is pretty strong. I think i was able to keep it on for maybe 2-3 minutes

I purchased the new MUFE velvet foundation - it's really beautiful. matte but natural more like satin, feels like nothing on skin, so airy and nice buildable coverage. I would say medium but possible to build to full. It does not enhance my dryness at al - mind that my skin is normal to dry and i never go for matte foundation. this is for example less drying than the new dior backstage one (go figure).
I wear mufe ultra hd y235 during winter and y245 during summer and i felt shades in the velvet are identical to the ultra hd BUT... they come out of the tube somewhat lighter then how they look when they set. So be careful when trying the shades. I had to buy both 235 and 245 and I mix them. I got a bit of a tan but I am still in between those two shades. 235 will be perfect for winter.

Oh its actually working out really well for me! I was pleasantly shocked lol, The first time of course there was a little stinging and it lessoned the next time and now I have no stinging at all. I really like it and kicking myself for not trying when I initially wanted too but better late than never I guess.

I haven't tried that one. But I love DE Babyfacial.

I know that one won't work for me because Glyocic acid is the 2nd ingredient, that's why I had to toss the night serum. The other DE products work well for me especially the moisturizer, I haven't repurchased a moisturizer ever until I started using DE.

That is THE only DE product I own & it makes my skin baby butt soft :)

The softness is a bonus for me. My skin is much more temperamental & acne prone now in my mid 50s than when I was a teen. I use this all over my face about once a week but more often my t-zone or nose & chin. My wacky hormones are hellacious on my skin. Since I've been using Babyfacial my skin is calmer & big reductions in breakouts. My pores are much less congested. With my oily t-zone that has always been an issue. On nights I don't use this I use Skinmedica's 1.0 Retinol or in the morning. I was about to run out & had a return at Sephora so I went ahead & picked up 2. You know how we are here with backups :)
I don't know if you do this or even want to fool with it. Good skincare products can add up quickly so I try to get as much product out as I can before I toss it. Here's what I do:

I unscrew the pump, sometimes it takes a bit of pressure to get it off. Then I take a wooden shrimp skewer, which I use these for tons of stuff, probably more than their intended purpose. Anyway I stick the flat end inside & get some out then screw it back on & put the lid on so the product stays intact. I can usually get 3-5 more treatments before it bites the dust. If I'm using only on my t-zone or nose & chin I get more.
