All Things Sephora

I co-sign the Algenist cleanser and plan to try the vitamin C serum next. I'm currently using Dermadoctor Kakadu vitamin C + ferulic serum and don't like it much. How do you like the Yuli Liquid Courage? I want to order it whenever I can find it on sale, which hasn't happened.

I'm another fan of the algenist cleanser. And I second the vitamin c serum. I had lots of samples of it from Sephora, but ended up buying Yuli Liquid Courage instead. Oh, and I also use Algenist's eye cream. I've tried Paula's Choice. I didn't like the moisturizer. Her vitamin c serum is decent. The only item I still currently use from the line is Resist 2% BHA. It works really well for me.

I have horrid dark circles under my eyes and the Algenist Vit C serum actually lightened them. I was so pleased!!!!

Not a sephora product but the Timeless Skincare vitamin c+ vitamin e+ ferulic acid is really good and is only about $25. It is supposed to be a dupe for the $150 Skinceuticals serum with the same ingredients. I haven't tried the Skinceuticals product but plan to buy it if the Algenist serum doesn't work for me. http://www.timelessha.com/20-vitamin-c-e-ferulic-acid-serum-1-oz/

I might exchange the Dermadoctor serum for the Algenist serum. I think it had already gone bad when I opened it because the color looks off.

I really like it! I've been using it for right at a month now. It's not sticky like other vitamon c serums I've used. My skin is brighter, hydrated, and more glowing. I am curious about that Timeless serum too, but I'm nervous to try it and mess up the good thing I have going with Yuli haha

Look for samples via Sephora---I was able to try Algenist that way before actually committing to the brand.

Sephora deluxe samples are the best!

Yes, I did too!  My mom kept pushing skin care on me and would buy me Estee and Lauder stuff.  I started getting interested when I started getting compliments.  Now I am on it!  I need to find a good serum.  Any suggestions?  I've been hearing about Paula's Choice but I'm not convinced.  There is so much hype around everything.  

I started using Paula's choice about 2 months ago and my skin is looking great the 9% bha has really cleared up the cystic acne flare ups I get. I also use the moisture boot and clear sunblock on my face and the antioxidant serum, skin recovery mask and 2%bha exfoliator, I really like what I've tried so far and the prices are reasonable.

Wait, what's this product?!? A spot treatment?

Get the Thirstymud too Dilli----especially since you're moving to cooler parts.

You just reminded me that I will have to change my skin care to adjust for winter. My hair and skin love the humidity of FL. *adds to my loves list* Back to using creams instead of lotions to moisturize my body.

 

[Medgal07]

I haven't tried Paula's Choice but I do have a few Ole Henricksen serums and a Murad one. Two of them are vitamin c so I hope they will help with my hyper pigmentation.

I'm still yet to try that. I have to use the Boscia one and the Ole Henriksen one first.
Sephora deluxe samples are the best!

I like the Boscia one too Shars----I'm saving the deluxe sample of it for travel.

Yes----a very unexpected but welcomed result!!!

Ok Jenise---my GlamGlow FlashMud arrived today and I've already used it once. The instructions suggest using it 3 days in a row to start. I like it so far but no noticeable difference at this point. My skin is already in good shape so I look forward to it getting even better. I was thinking----if they get rid of the elaborate packaging they could probably reduce the price of the products.

.....and packaging for all of their products is that way

It's such a waste

Hey ladies, I’m new here but I thought I would start out my post with this promo:

I think the in-store promos are relatively rare so this piqued my interest!

 

[VioletSparkles]

Ah, oops, I forgot to say that this may be a Canada only offer. Sorry...here I go messing up on my first post in the Sephora forum lol

Algenist is having a 25% discount for their Friends & Family sale on their website in case anyone's interested. Good until 11:59 p.m. PST Sunday.

Have any of you ladies used the code VIBEXTRA or the MANUP one? These are the codes for the mini perfumes. If so, how were they? I'd love to hear your thoughts as I am debating about getting these...
