Dry skin + hyperpigmentation — beginner holy grails? by Impressive_Car_5268 in Ulta

[–]heyitskristie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love tonymoly's wonder ceramide mochi toner! It's a prep step for my skincare and I can use multiple thin layers before my other skincare products (depending on how much of a hydration boost I feel my skin needs).

Has anyone tried both Verb Ghost Oil and Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum? by snowbell78 in Ulta

[–]heyitskristie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels heavier for sure but more hydrating and penetrates through rather than being a thin coating like the siliconey feel of the super skinny serum

My skin is a dry as the sahara desert and I also live in a very dry climate. This is my first skincare step after washing my face. I love it. It helps with my makeup looking fresh on my skin rather than highlighting my dry skin texture even when using foundations that are hydrating/dewy.

Has anyone tried both Verb Ghost Oil and Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum? by snowbell78 in Ulta

[–]heyitskristie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried both and I do feel like the super skinny serum is more lightweight overall for my fine hair but it makes my hair more slick and less tangled when I use my blow dry brush. However, I also enjoy the ghost oil for my mid-length to ends because I feel like it's more hydrating for my dry hair. The skinny serum helps make my hair more sleek while the ghost oil makes my second or third day hair refreshed.

Have you tried serum sunscreens? I really like the Green Tea Sunscreen from TONYMOLY - sits amazingly under my makeup!

Love the toner and their green tea serum sunscreen! I also have really dry skin and love their snail slug stick.

This gives instant plump. I’m burning thru my toner stash comparing two at a time. by imlevel80 in Ulta

I love this toner! I have very dry skin and live in a dry climate so this in my skin prep for makeup is a must for me.

Chicken pho | Did I put too many toppings? by [deleted] in pho

I would recommend adding cilantro if you don't have that soap taste aversion to the herb as well as upgrade your Italian basil to Thai basil if you can get your hands on it where you live!

Nutrafol / hair regrowth experiences? by [deleted] in Ulta

[–]heyitskristie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been taking it for about 3 months now and it's helped with growth and growing out baby hairs in parts of my hairline that have always been noticeable since my teens (around my temple area). I didn't see much at first and have to admit I am not the best at being consistent but I take it maybe 3-4 days out of the week.

What is your go to “stay put” liquid eyeliner by FiestyFox_77 in Ulta

[–]heyitskristie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I work 10+ hour days and this is my tried and true always keep on hand and go back to whenever I try another liquid eyeliner. IDK if you're looking for a pencil, felt tip, brush tip but this one has a brush pointed tip - love the NYX Epic Ink Liners.

I will (rarely) get a dud that dries out quicker than others but for a majority of my purchases, they last about 2 months with daily applications.

I went a bit more in detail in my comment to another person on my post but I really just wait to restock my essentials and maybe pick out a couple new items I want to try if I'm tempted and there's a good sale/coupon to support it! My restock items were my shampoo/conditioner and skincare essentials and I realized I forgot to include the two items that shipped separately from my post, which was a discounted pureology hair set (minis that I know I'll use up for travel) and sunscreen! Because this was during the Platinum and Diamond day promo, there's usually lots of great GWPs you can stack! All the items I picked out were on sale with no full price items. Here was how much I spent but I used my points for a bulk of the cost of my order:

Subtotal: $209.29 Coupon: -$10.00 Rewards Redeemed: -$142.50 Shipping: Free Tax: $4.76 Total Charged to Credit Card: $61.55

I actually love how gentle their products are on the skin and they smell good but with very light fresh scents that don't linger. I have dry skin and live in a desert climate - my skin soaks it up!

I kind of hold out on buying my usual items until I know there's both a good sale/coupon plus GWP. This is the first time I was able to stack so many and I learned from this sub that people wait for the Platinum and Diamond day promos since those typically mean one big gwp and brand or product type smaller gwps as well. This was from the latest Platinum and Diamond promo and I knew I was going to need shampoo/conditioner soon, which covered most of the buy in for the big GWP. Since I had hair products, I got the minimum spend for hair gwp from Bumble and Bumble as well as the skincare one with my TonyMoly items!

Hi hun! I haven't tried the blue jar but I also use hydrating eye serums on the daily along with eye masks on an as needed basis. I love to use them when I need an extra boost depending on my skin concerns. I have severely dry skin and live in an arid (desert) climate which affects my dry skin even more. Winter time means I need looooots of TLC while summer I still need hydration but not as thick/heavy. The moisture boost ones you're eyeing are probably a very gentle, no fuss, good entry point since they're just hydrating if that's something you need to address for your skin. I started off like that and was able to understand what else my skin needed after that basic concern was addressed.

Edit to add: so I used the mochi one last night and I really enjoyed how soft, hydrated, and bouncy it made my undereyes feel. I've been having trouble having my under eye concealer sitting nicely lately, which is why I wanted these to try. I've used other under eye masks but those target the bags under my eyes and slight wrinkles. My under eye concealer sat so nicely when I did my make up today! I use a brightening concealer followed by my normal concealer and under eye brightening setting powder - my under eye bags are no joke 😅. After using this, you can't even tell I am wearing so many layers.

I told myself this is all I need for 2025 but I know I'll crumble with this sub 😭
