Im looking for an oil cleanser that takes off makeup and is cheap! I used to use neutrogena oil cleanser and loved it but I can’t find it anywhere !

Got this haul from Abib giveaway and wondering if I can save excess serum from the mask in a baggie or serum container and use it throughout the week. 

I also heard that this isn’t possible because the product isn’t formulated to last past its first opening and can go bad and stuff after that. Is that true? 

Don’t want to miss on an opportunity to be thrifty but also I’d like to be safe to my skin!

What are y’all’s tips for writing giveaway reviews? I am wearing my diamond and pearl mask right now and wondering what tips you all have on writing good reviews! 

Also, when we share to Instagram can it be a story/ story collection? Or does it need to be a full post? Or does it matter as long as I tag them and stuff?

won my first giveaway!

What if picky added hair products to their app or there was a section for hair? Including serums , treatments, shampoo / conditioner, masks, discussions about how often you wash, what ingredients do for you, what hair type you have,  etc. 
Just thinking 🤔

Any advice for using this product? I’m super excited after waiting a month for it to arrive !! I’ll use it after my differin gel tonight and before my night cream.

got a new treat in the mail !!

You have to go through the “purge”. Now if you research you will find that it should not make your skin worse than it has ever been, and you should not get lots of acne in new places. Thanks to the pandemic I wore my mask the whole purge while out in public so nobody really even knew it was happening lol.

Almost cleared my hormonal acne! Also changed mt complexion to be more glowy and smooth. This is a long detailed review so I’ll just get to it. I had hormonal whiteheads all around my jawline as a result of being off my birth control temporarily. Even after getting back on, I was still getting acne all over my jawline. I have tried every combination of products and I honestly was ready to see a derm but couldn’t really afford it. I learned that some dermatologists can reccomend differin as an OTC treatment for acne and I didn’t know if it would work for me HOWEVER I wanted to try it anyways because I would have hated to show up to the derm and be sent away with instructions for OTC differin that I could have gotten without the appointment. I purged for about 10 weeks, and had light irritation that subsided with the purging. I used no other actives until 12 weeks was up and irritation was gone. The blackheads on my nose disappeared and my skin was brighter which was just an added bonus because all I wanted was to stop breaking out! In the last 4 months of use I have seen great improvement. I still get occasional pimples and I am starting to add other actives into my routine but it is nothing like it was before.

My only wish is that they offered various sizes of the dots in the package. Like in my photo, I don’t need the large size for some of my whiteheads.

Best pimple patch out there! Ive tried Cosrx, Peach Slices, Rael, and Mighty Patch and this does THE best job of absorbing whiteheads. 

Pros: First of all, the entire patch absorbs the pimple, so there’s no struggle to pinpoint the exact center like with rael’s. Also, these actually absorb the whitehead while other seem to absorb partially and then tear it off which seems harsher on the skin. 

The packaging: is better. Its nice to have the box to store the patches in their sheets rather than a resealable bag. 

Notes: the original mighty patch is not 100% transparent, but its enough not to be noticeable and lays flat on the skin. They offer the invisible ones but those are a little more pricey and as you go through the day, they absorb more goo and it becomes almost more obvious you have a spot there. Also, these are for whiteheads, not under the skin pimples.

It can be heavy. I like to put it all over to conceal redness but my skin does better when I just spot treat, in the image you can see I look a little shiny with it. 

This product helps heal and protect popped pimples/blemishes & conceals redness. I use to wear bb cream most days, but this does a better job of concealing redness from pimples & scars than bb cream, while still looking so natural. I put it all over in the images below, but I also just apply it to red spots sometimes. It is supposed to work for light-medium skin tones. Overall, this is one of my favorite products and if you need a redness concealing balm this is an affordable choice that works great! They also just came out with a jumbo size & a concealing balm in orange . 

This can be incredibly stripping. Recently I used it as a 2 minute mask after I noticed breakouts coming on from a reaction to makeup. It stopped them in their tracks. I then used it two more nights as a cleanser. I use a mandelic acid serum and adapalene and combined with this it was too much and caused redness and irritation on my resilient skin. Thinking about it, I would not reccomend anyone use this more than 4x a week as a cleanser even with no actives in their routine.

It clears blackheads, or very much improves them with one use! If you have mild, non hormonal acne, but you want an extra clarifying effect or feel a breakout beginning, this is very effective! Use as a mask 2x a week or as a cleanser 3x a week.

This pills when layered on the serum I currently use, and that makes me want to itch. I will try to use it on nights when I don’t use that oil serum and see how it works.

I was given this as a gift. I like how it feels lightweight and has no scent to it. It also gives me a brighter skin look.
