The Algenist cleanser is in my cart waiting for the next VIB sale. Thanks for the glowing review. Have you tried the Algenist anti-aging oil? I love it but didn't want to spend that much ($79) so I rationed out the deluxe sample that I had. I then bought the Fresh sea berry oil and just don't like it as much. I will likely exchange it for the Algenist oil during the upcoming sale. Do you find the Chanel purete cleanser to be drying?
Same here! I had to run to sephora to read the reviews and added it to my cart. I decided to use up some samples today so I washed with jack black cleanser which was MEH and then used Jack black scrub which was amazing!!! Added that to my cart too lol I finished it off with the algenist oil sample I have and it feels so luxurious on my skin. ugh! This sale needs to hurry up.

Elegant, a lot of my skin care purchases from the last VIB sale were a result of your glowing reviews, so I will be putting those Algenist products on my loves list to get ready for the sale.

I bought the MJ liner set last night - hope I love it! The Tarte blush palette went back to the store today. I had no business buying it in the first place. Next time I'll be patient and wait for swatches first.

I made a review on it not too long ago, and still in progress. The Shiseido Ultimune is amazing you'll have radiant skin even after just a day using it.

You'll love it. You are so welcome dear!

No, I haven't tried the oil, but I did see the sample so I should get that to try.

The Chanel Purete line does not dry my skin out & I have normal to sometimes dry skin in the winter. The toner - Lotion Purete is awesome especially in the hot summer. It really keeps the skin clear & clean.

I am very very impressed with the Algenist line!

Hi my sweet beautiful Pixie

That is so very sweet of you to say

I am using
1.) Algenist Ultimate Anti-aging Melting Cleanser. This is an amazing cleanser. Its so different. It CLEANS & hydrates the skin like no other cleanser. It will remove every trace of makeup. I use it first & then just a bit of my beloved Chanel Purete cleanser.
2.) Algenist Multi-Perfecting Pore Corrector Concentrate. It also clears the pores & makes the skin so silky hydrated soft. I could not stop feeling my skin after trying this. LOVE it.
3.) New from Dior - LOVE this - Hydra Life Close-Up Pore Reducing Pro-Youth Moisturizer. It corrects imperfections & makes the skin look radiant & flawless while moisturizing.

^ my 3 new loves that have proven to improve the skins texture while hydrating & adding that fresh glow while correcting slight redness & skin imperfections.

I have always used the Chanel purete line.
I got a small tub of the Algenist complete eye balm with a nordies GWP, and I love it. I'll be getting it in the sale. It's hydrating, and I feel like it helps my eyes look smoother and less dark.

sorry I have to get used to specktra, I'm fairly new ;)

definately not diggin' it .. they kinda start to look very similar, don't you think?
That is the reason I'm on the fence about it currently. If anyone has them both can they do comparison swatches

I have the Vice 2 and apart from the packaging, I feel like the colour scheme in 2 and 3 are similar. I don't have Vice 1 but from review and comparison posts I've seen, it's mainly brights so it's different from both. I think unless you're a collector, you don't need both 2 and 3 (in my opinion). It seems though that the shadow quality in Vice 1 and 2 were better than 3 though, which is a shame if you've missed out on previous ones.

I got over my lust for 3 when I got honest with myself about the fact that I only wanted it 'cause the packaging and highlights were green (green is my favourite colour lol). If it lasted long enough to go on sale for about half price, I'd probably get it though.

I totally agree, I absolutely love the Vice 3 packaging but I don't need the colors. I have days where I think I want it anyway but I know I don't need it. They're not my type of colors at the end of the day I know it wouldn't get the use it should. I saw it in person today and was like "...mehhhh" lol I wish I could just buy the packaging and keep something else in it!

The Kat Von D Holiday stuff is up... The 9 piece lipstick and a beautiful star studded eyeshadow palette! I'm hoping the eyeshadows are up to her usual quality because that palette (packing and colour selection) is stunning!
