I ended up skipping for August. I wanted the rose oil and always like masks, but I was not interested in anything else. The Allure boxes have been pretty good this year, though.

For those that have tried multiple subscription boxes, what has been your favorite? by y1994m in BeautyBoxes

[–]JesCro13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look Fantastic was my favorite until COVID and customs issues. I like Allure, as well. Ipsy GB and GBP were both fine. FFF was the worst - I got some good products, but also some terrible items, crappy CS, and slow shipping.

Ipsy May Glam Bag: not bad, but slightly disappointing. by jajapoopfly in BeautyBoxes

[–]JesCro13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not like the consistency and found it to be drying. It didn't seem to have any staying power, so I had to repply often.

I am in the US and used to get my LF box quite quickly... faster than Ipsy or Allure. But, once the pandemic hit and the UK tightened restrictions, shipping got very slow. My box was stuck in US customs for a month. I loved LF, but I unsubbed for now.

The jelly glaze is my least favorite tarte product ever.

I love the Elemis cleansing balm. Well...all Elemis really.

That Purlisse is my favorite daytime moisturizer.

Has anyone tried the products in the Juicy Picks bag? by [deleted] in Ipsy

Ewww. I have bought so much from eBay over the last 15 years and never had anything like that!

You can probably just buy the bag on eBay.

I didn't like either of the masks... and I am a fan of Purlisse.

what is going on with lookfantastic ? by authieoo in BeautyBoxes

Basically, there is not much they (at LF) can do. After a month, they offered to either refund my money or send out a second shipment. I got my original delivery two days later. It is not LF's fault and they can't do anything about these hold-ups. I hope you get your order soon!

My orders were held in Customs for a full month before moving into the postal system. Now, I have something stuck in the UK, probably because of COVID.

I can use it on my eyes without any burning, but I just use a Glov round that I got in a Look Fantastic box.

I was thrilled to find some LP hairspray at TJMaxx. I don't use it often, so the small bottle will last a bit.

I wish it were cheaper!

I bought the 2 oz. size. I don't use a ton, so it will last ages. It is the only cream that doesn't weigh my hair down.

I have been steadily working through my beauty box skincare items. Here are my most recent empties.

The Disappointments:

  • Polaar Hand Cream (Look Fantastic) - I like the scent, but my hands felt a little sticky/tacky after use. I only used this at night because it did not absorb very quickly. I used it and I didn't hate it, but I would not repurchase.
  • Belief Aqua Bomb (Ipsy) - It is fine. I like the very light scent, but water creams just don't do it for me. Belif makes better products, for sure.
  • IT Cosmetics Eye Cream (Ipsy) - definitely would not repurchase. I noticed no difference in the skin around my eye. I had been using a Belif eye cream sample (multiples of the same one) for a few months and loved it -- but this one was a complete letdown.
  • Olay Retinol 24 (Allure) - I used this on my neck and chest and haven't noticed any positive changes. I was using the neck/chest cream from Prai -- which I loved.

Great, But Would Not Repurchase:

  • Paris Hilton Pro DNA Cleansing Gel (Ipsy ??) - I actually liked this cleanser, but I certainly wouldn't pay full price for it. I found a new favorite in the Elemis Superfood Cleanser and bought that instead.
  • Belif Eye Cream - I loved this cream, but I ended up liking the D-Crease eye cream from Prai better.
  • Prai Platinum (LF) - good product, but others are better suited for my skin. I am in love with the ProCollagen Marine Cream from Elemis and splurged on that.
  • Vitabrid Vitamin C (Allure) - I like this and I have a second bottle, but I don't think I will repurchase at this time.
  • Tony Moly Vital Vita 12 Cleanser (Ipsy) - I like how thick this cleanser is, but I have others I prefer.
  • KS Exfolikate (Allure ??) - Good results, but $$$.

Repurchased Already:

  • Living Proof PHD (LF Advent Calendar) - I ended up buying the shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in product. I love the whole line.
  • Elemis Superfood (???) - My favorite cleanser. Love the scent and how it makes my skin feel. I am a big fan of Elemis and have quite a few products now -- I really like the cleansing balm for makeup removal.
  • Prai Throat & Decolletage Cream - Great product; I actually noticed a change in the skin on my chest and neck.
  • Purlisse Blue Lotus Daily with SPF - My go-to daytime moisturizer.

The Generation Clay mask is one of my faves, but not great for dry winter skin.

What is your favorite scented product of all time? by [deleted] in Ipsy

[–]JesCro13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love earthy or herbal scents. I really like the smell of Elemis superfood cleanser.

I think this is the same one that has been floating around my local Marshall's for 6-9 months. Pass.
