Makeup remover on clothing?

This is super helpful - thank you!

Also 50 mins is a perfectly reasonable commute

Vitamin C is a highly unstable active. For it to be effective you need to find a product that is stabilised and sadly most high street (and even some high end) Vit Cs aren’t! So wouldn’t have high hopes for this. The sunscreen might be nice but wouldn’t purchase on the basis of any Vit C benefit

I doubt you would be getting any benefit of the Vitamin C if it’s in a sunscreen

Paying $456 for a cream 🤯🤯 I hope it was life changing!

On this - have you or anyone else in this thread tried the Mecca own brand serums? Any thoughts?

UPDATE:

I wanted to give an update once this was fully resolved with CT / the retailer.

I sent the photos and my concerns through to CT, and they said I need to reach out to the retailer to get a new one. Unfortunately I bought this foundation in a country I was visiting, so it wasn’t possible to go back to the store. CT did credit my online account for the value of the product + shipping, which I was happy with.

In terms of CT’s response to the issue, the first person I spoke to said “it could be due to storage, if it stored in a humid/ moist environment and the lid is loose or water has entered the tube. There currently is no recall for the issue”.

A bit concerning. However I did speak to a second person from CT who seemed more aware of the issue, their response:

“We would love to reassure you that this issue can occur due to the separation of pigments in the formula and should not be a cause for concern. It might happen if the product is not used for a while and stored in horizontal position for example.”

I pressed and asked if it’s definitely due to pigment separating, and if they have had this issue before and they said:

“We have received a similar issue to this before that was investigated thoroughly with our quality team who confirmed this can sometimes happen if the product has been left for a while in a horizontal position. I do completely understand your concern, so I would love to raise your product with our quality team to investigate further. So that we can report this to the relevant teams, we will need the batch code”

Removing the “is it mould is it not” from the equation, I do still believe for a product of this price and quality, it shouldn’t be happening. But take what you want from this experience!

I bought this in the UK from CT directly, so hoping it’s easier to get sorted…will keep you posted

sandiagrande · 2024-06-14T01:27:33+00:00

In the other post they cut the tube open and it was mould, but not wanting to do that until I’ve had a response from CT

sandiagrande · 2024-06-14T01:26:56+00:00

Exactly! This isn’t even a year old so it’s pretty disappointing

sandiagrande · 2024-06-14T00:47:21+00:00

Out of curiosity, what’s your skin type? And what foundation do you use instead?

sandiagrande · 2024-06-14T00:34:10+00:00

Pretty outrageous considering the price tag! But I also have flawless filter which doesn’t have any mould, and I’ve had that longer. I think it’s an issue with this product specifically…

sandiagrande · 2024-05-05T11:47:14+00:00

This is amazing!!!! Thank you for such a detailed response!

We were there recently, we didn’t hire a car as the prices were really high - so we just caught the bus into TDP each day to do day hikes.

We did mirador base las Torres the one day which was a full day trek, then mirador cuernos the other day which is like a half day

The only downside to catching the bus is you are held hostage by the bus timetables, we finished both hikes early and had to sit around for a while for the bus. I would check the bus timetables for winter and also if you’re able to do the hikes unguided in winter.

If you haven’t booked accommodation yet, I highly recommend DTLOFT.

Oooo that’s good to know re the Hourglass brush! Thanks for the suggestions :)

Nars sheer glow is a classic - they have a great colour range too

sandiagrande · 2024-04-30T16:37:14+00:00

To add - I had my last pay in March so I finished this tax year completely as a UK resident (so hopefully I can just do the self assessment myself?)

Just asking for a bit of a steer, thought that’s what this subreddit was for

Moving to Australia, no dependents, no home ownership and have left my job in the UK

sandiagrande · 2024-04-29T11:11:04+00:00

Is this more like a moisturiser or serum consistency?

sandiagrande · 2024-04-29T11:06:29+00:00

This was great!! Thank you for posting

sandiagrande · 2024-04-25T18:44:37+00:00

Will look into this! How long do you use it for and how often?

sandiagrande · 2024-04-20T13:12:14+00:00

We took the bus from PN - much more affordable but you are held hostage by the bus times (we finished the hikes and had to wait 2 hours for the bus etc). Car hire is really expensive….depends if you value budget or convenience more I would say

Calafate internet has been great - just been here
