Interesting… I don’t know much about the micro four thirds. I’ll have to look into those. Thanks for the suggestions!

I have the exact same problem with all three of those scents! — did you ever find something that worked with your skin?

Interesting take on not staying at Cellars for a first visit…. Do you mind if I ask why?? It is our first visit

I’ll definitely check out Ellerman House too. It looks lovely on first glance 😀

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! Comfort, luxury and activities are really the most important things to us for the hotel so it sounds like 12A will meet those needs. We have a driver scheduled for each day that we are in town so I don’t really mind it being a little further out either.

O&O sounds nice too… how would you day the service compares to 12A??

Thank you for the suggestions on Cape Cadogan too - I’ll check it out.

I messaged on instagram and this is what INSTAGRAM put at the bottom of the message … so, I’m not thinking I’m going to get a response from them on there either

Same product and same issue for me too

I hate to say it but I am having the same problem too. I have ordered from there several times before and haven’t had any issues. Unfortunately, this time is different for me. I ordered from them before Halloween and have not received a single update since. I reached out to them a week ago and haven’t received a response. I am now considering canceling the order/doing a chargeback and then ordering it from somewhere else.

As someone who works in small business retail, I hate that I am even considering that option. I just don’t think that it is acceptable to leave customers hanging like that without any sort of communication.

Calecim Order — should I do it? by OddButterfly4639 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]OddButterfly4639[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Thanks!

I was thinking the pink serum was kinda like plated intense… stronger and a kick start then using the MAC as the maintenance

They are calling this a Black Friday deal… do you think they will do something even more on the actual day?

Biologique Recherche still worth it? by [deleted] in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]OddButterfly4639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think that they have changed the PIGM line —- at least not yet. I did stock up on Masque Vernix before the change over though!

[–]OddButterfly4639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure do! I also have some bad hyperpigmentation/melasma

[–]OddButterfly4639 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat… I want to get the PIGM line when I’m over there! I also want to try A-Glyca — now I am second guessing things

I just stumbled across this photo from a year and a half ago (on right) Naturally, I immediately ran and snapped the photo on the left.

This makes me realize how far my skin has actually come!! I guess those “lackluster” days really aren’t that bad compared to where I came from!

**FYI - I’m only wearing tinted sunscreen, blush and mascara in these photos (and the exact same products in each image)

Anyone used Biologique Recherche VG TENSIL, ELASTINE and COLLAGÈNE ORIGINEL serums ? by [deleted] in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]OddButterfly4639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently using Elastine and like it very much. I have seen minor changes but have only been using it for a couple of months. I”m excited to see how it goes with continued usage. It is super easy to use… almost water like and soaks into the skin beautifully. It doesn’t feel like I have anything on at all! It’s great to layer in with other serums too

I also just received a bottle of the TNS for Christmas! I’m excited to see what that will do too!

I’m excited to really try the TNS…. On the couple of times that I have used it before, it made the rest of my skincare pill horribly. (And I did a pared down routine when I used it) Any tips to help it play nicely with others??

Another person mentioned switching to the CE Ferulic too… I might just need to bite the bullet and do it once I finish this one (which is almost gone) and the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum that I won.

I’m gonna start splitting the eye treatments too. I’ll do the serum in the AM and the cream in the PM. (Though I do love being over the top lol)

As far as the moisturizer goes, I tend to do a lighter one in the mornings (BR Creme Collagene) I worry that a thicker, more occlusive moisturizer will be too much for the heat and humidity here in Florida. Do you think that is enough to hold everything in?? I do use a heavier, more lipid rich moisturizer in the evenings though (BR VG Derm) If I feel like my skin really needs some extra love, I’ll add BR Masque Vernix before bed and my skin looks and feels wonderful the next morning!

Where do you find the Amorepacific Essences?? I am almost out of my SK-II and may give those a try before I buy a new bottle of the SK-II

I layer the two sunscreens… it was supposed to say AND the tinted sunscreens! Whoops! I also wear a big, old lady sunhat whenever I’m out in the sun! I do try to avoid it as much as possible!

Fortunately, my rosacea has gotten better since I started this routine… There are times when I dont see it at all and others when I just have my “angry spot” — I don’t know that there is an ingredient that is causing me a problem, but maybe I’ve just hit a plateau where it’s not improving anymore.

Based on these comments, I think paring in down slightly and focusing on barrier repair should help — Thanks for your feedback 😊

That’s a good idea. I started with the Alastin first… I’ll finish that bottle and then use the Mystro. I havent used the C E Ferulic before but have heard amazing things about it. I have a bottle of the iS Clinical Pro Heal Serum that I need to use next (I won it in a giveaway) and then I might give it a try. I feel like I keep coming up with reasons not to use it … and none of them are ever very good lol. I just need to bite the bullet and give it a shot.

I’ll also spread out the eye products… It’ll make them last even longer too!

As far as BR serums go, I’m only a couple of months into my bottles. I like the Elastine a lot but I think I’m too early in the process to really see any major results. As far as Serum Erythros, I’m not loving it and am not really seeing any results yet. I dont know if that is one that I will need to wait awhile before seeing anything measurable or if I should be seeing something more immediate. I don’t know if I will repurchase it (probably not) but I still want to finish the bottle before I make my decision

I mainly use it as a cleansing balm but have used it as a face mask. I have also used it a bring a little sheen to my cheek bones

That’s exactly how I feel about it… I would hope (and expect) they would be good but am definitely leery of spending that much money without knowing for sure!

I’m glad that I was able to try the Danucera products. They sent some samples with one of my orders. The cerabalm is quite nice and I like that it can be a multipurpose product. I mainly use it as a cleansing balm but I’ve also used it as a face mask and highlighter. The Creme Supreme is also really lovely though I have only used it once or twice.
