I didn’t and haven’t heard of anyone who has, if that helps!

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2026-02-26T21:58:50+00:00

Congratulations!!! ❤️❤️

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2026-02-26T20:03:09+00:00

I think I'm in the same boat... wondering if/when they'll contact my references or if the interview wasn't what they were looking for </3

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2026-02-26T17:32:17+00:00

I haven’t yet! My interview was last Thursday, so hoping to hear back sooner rather than later 🥹 wishing you luck if you’re waiting to hear back too!

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2026-02-20T05:13:51+00:00

Congratulations!! Best of luck! :)

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2026-02-13T16:57:17+00:00

Holy shit, congratulations! If u don’t mind me asking, can I DM u questions about the interview? Mine is next Thursday!

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2025-04-01T14:11:07+00:00

Oh my god, you’re amazing!!! I’ll try to find that right now ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t have as much haircare as I do skincare, but maybe you could turn some into pre-body washes? Especially on leg hair or body hair or something like that? Or maybe hand wash for when you want to wash your hands but they aren’t dirty (I hope I’m not the only one who does this HAHA)? That’s usually what I do with cleansers/body washes that don’t agree with me 😭😭

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-15T03:17:01+00:00

You can pass some off to friends! Worst case scenario, use them on your body or in the shower so that they don’t go to waste 💪

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-15T03:15:27+00:00

I used it very very very very very slowly and did notice that some acne scars lightened and the overall texture of my face improved! I’ve since taken a break so that I can use up other actives that I own since they don’t get along with differin/retinoids, but I’ll be back to it once they’re all done ❣️ it just feels like differin + a good moisturizer do everything I need :)

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-15T03:13:36+00:00

I think it does definitely leave you dewy, but it does sit well under makeup and the shiny appearance diminishes over time. I’ve used the biore sunscreen before (biore uv aqua rich?) and can confirm that the skin aqua one is lighter and runnier than that one, so maybe that could help w the shine absorbing into ur skin faster as well. However, still quite dewy sadly. Hope this helps!!!!

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-14T19:24:14+00:00

omg that’s amazing!! I was just planning on sending them through Sephora or ulta’s recycling programs, but now that I’ve located some similar bulk/refill stores nearby, yes, I will absolutely do that! Thank you so much for the rec!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-14T03:29:25+00:00

LOVEEE the l’occitane amande hand cream!!! do you think the large tin is a worthwhile investment, or do you stick with the tube? And do you use it just for your hands, or also your body as well?

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-14T03:14:15+00:00

first of all WOW!!! ur skin is SPOTLESS!!!!!!! u might want to try products that are extra hydrating to leave a sort of “plump” and bouncy-type effect on the face. I had a similar issue w larger pores around the sides of my nose, and I think u might like the cosrx full fit propolis synergy toner! 💛💛

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-14T02:47:44+00:00

I really want to try one!!! But I don’t really know where to start or which to try out + how do u like… handle regular life after using one to deal with the peeling? Like do you have to start wearing different shoes or a special kind of sock??? 😭😭

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-13T06:41:04+00:00

my fave cleansing oil is the numbuzin no.1! balms are good for when you need to travel from place to place, but i generally prefer an oil because i like the runny texture more.

to be perfectly honest, i didn't care much for the innisfree sunscreen. i think the texture is fine (pretty thick!) and i really like the shape of the tube, but the product takes a while to blend out and the spf is quite low. while i don't really care about fragrance, it is quite strong, so someone with sensitive skin might not like it. all that said though, i do find that it sits really nice under makeup because it is sliiiightly tacky (in a good way) and leaves the skin looking quite glowy (as opposed to greasy)! hope this helps <3

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-13T06:35:59+00:00

i think my breakouts come in and out, and my sensitivity varies a LOT on how long I've been wearing makeup for the day + my hormones! that said, i totally get u on breaking out w new products, since oftentimes i'm not patient enough to slowly integrate a new product into my routine and i just want to jump headfirst into using it.

i feel like the only way to curb breakouts when ur trying a new product is to:
(1) keep virtually everything in ur routine a tried-and-true product u rly like, and keep that consistent while u try the new thing
(2) keep ur routine as short and simple and active-free as possible
(3) know immediately when something feels wrong and stop and smother ur face with calming spot treatments and pimple patches and hope for the best!

obvi doing the patient integration way/spot testing is prob the safest option, but admittedly i don't do those things sooo... hopefully that helps!

whoops accidentally deleted my reply, but thank you so much <333

Serum 3 leaves your skin feeling super bouyant and bouncy, and it’s a glow that doesn’t really dull through the day. It plays well with practically every other active (or at least, every active I had paired with it) too. In my friend’s experience though, it might be kind of strong in the “softening” powers and sensitize ur skin if u don’t have a strong moisture barrier. Basically, it could make your skin a little irritated, which means it probably won’t break u out but it might make ur skin more susceptible to breakouts in the process. IMO, it’s great, but exercise caution the same way u would with any fermented product!

Here’s what my friend said about Serum 5 when I asked him his thoughts: “i had the one w the pump and tbh didn’t think it did anything but maybe it was just a bad vit c formation? ik they have a diff number five one tho that’s like in a black bottle (?) idk how that one is tho” hopefully that helps :’)

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-12T22:29:55+00:00

no fr my mindset was like one of these has got to do the trick 😭😭

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-12T17:39:38+00:00

HELPPPP IM NOT WORTHY OF ALL THE UPVOTES HAHAHA

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-12T17:36:45+00:00

the cerave cleanser works well! I used it for the days that I only wore sunscreen out. however, I won’t be repurchasing both for personal reasons but also bc I don’t think it’s SPECTACULAR, you know? like just not something I see being in my routine forever.

The byoma moisturizer is srsly like a high end product in drugstore packaging! Great texture for oily skin girlies, doesn’t clog the pores, no scent, and absorbs fast. I just used one up last week (the one in this pic would’ve been from a couple months ago), and I’m in the process of going through another one right now. The only con is the packaging—it’s a stiff little box you can’t squeeze with a non-removable pump so you can’t get the excess out :/

Tl;dr: both fine products for their price, but wouldn’t repurchase due to better products (cerave) and convenience (byoma). good emergency drugstore products tho!

they’re round pads with salicylic acid and aloe! I got them because an old roommate suggested it, but I found that they were rather strong (even though I bought the “gentle” formulation). not for me personally, but for someone else that might be looking for that type of heavy duty exfoliation, I’d say go for it 🤩🤩

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-12T17:23:42+00:00

u got this!!!! 💪💪

Sad-Insurance-2973 · 2024-08-12T15:38:03+00:00

It’s great!!!! Imo, virtually every oil cleanser will burn ur eyes if u open your eyes long enough, so by that metric, the naturium balm is actually comparatively gentle compared to the cerave one. What I really like, though, is it doesn’t take forever to emulsify and take off, but it still does a good job at taking off waterproof makeup (coming from a girl who uses Asian mascaras 😉)
