My great Sephora deal! - Page 2

And thank you oodles, BarTopDancer, for giving me two packets of the Microdelivery Peel you received in your kit! YOU ROCK!

I tried out the Peel last night while geekily watching American Idol. I was a little nervous, because microdermabrasion & me just don't mix. I have sensitive skin and it causes me to break out something just awful.

<--imagine this sad little fella covered in spots. That's me, post peel.

However, I really liked this one! It burned a little, so I slapped on lots of cream afterwards to soothe my skin. Keepin' fingers crossed! Here's hopin' it works! So far so good!

The micro-delivery peel is amazing!! I accidentally bought two other micro-dermasion/facials scrubs from philosophy last week and got the micro-delivery samples (what I'd actually wanted to order....long story

....basically dsnylndmom wasn't around and I screwed up).

The scrubs/facials I ordered are okay.....great love and great mystery (?) I think they're called? But the micro-delivery peel system will be my next philosophy purchase! My skin looks better than I've seen it in YEARS. It's amazing!!! I've had an actual three-part microdermabrasion done before, and this stuff makes my skin look a thousand times better than salon facials and micro!!

I've also been using this eye cream the last few weeks (3) and if I wasn't so lazy I'd go upstairs and grab the bottle.....it's Active C, but I can't remember the brand...it was spendy, but highly recommended from a friend who works in a medical spa and it WORKS. I barely have an trace of a line around my eyes any more. And I don't use it everyday....I sometimes forget. But after about ten days....the lines were fading. And now they're almost GONE. It's the weirdest thing!!!

Between the eye cream, the micro-delivery peels, and the bare minerals...I look so much better....like I actually care about my skin! I was aging fast there for a while. Time to sloooooow that process down a little.

Ooooooh Claire I"m so glad you got to try the peel!!! That's great that it's working so well for you! Can you get over how good your skin feels after it, soooo soft and purrtyy! Now you understand my " I SWEAR" by it

YOu're going to be addicted I know it! I've got my bare minerals on the way now I need some of that eye cream, that sounds great!!

Allly now that you've used the peel how did you like it?? I can't wait ot hear

I'm still looking for a decent priced moisturizer that won't oily up my skin, suggestions?

Sephora is an anagram for "Arse Hop"... back to your regularly scheduled thread

As much as it pains me I think my new face stuff must go back. I used my old regimen last night and my face was nowhere near as oily. I don't think the wash is strong enough. I have two more attempts of different combos to try. If nither of them work back it goes

UvaGirl · 03-03-2005, 03:29 PM

Sorry the new stuff doesn't seem to be working for you BTD ~ I have very similar skin issues and have tried various things - some work and some don't.

Just had to share, I discovered the coolest bargain the other day at the Body Shop. I hardly ever go in there, but I was browsing & found their Tea Tree Oil blotting papers. Perfect for that midday shine and only NZ$4.50 for 65! Bargain!

BarTopDancer · 03-06-2005, 11:47 PM

The face cleaner, the eyeshadow (didn't show up) and the nail polish (already had that color) went back today. No probs returning it. I decided I'm going to use up the eyeshadow I already have (I have like 12 differnet colors) before I invest in new stuff or else I'll be duplicating.

AllyOops! · 03-07-2005, 01:47 AM

NO more peels for me.

After yesterday's peel, my skin is still bright red and sore. Today, while I was shopping in Macy's with my brother's girlfriend, it got a little toasty and my face stung even with little beads of perspiration.

And I'm breaking out from the friction. Bumps ahoy!

My former dermatologist warned me ages ago that scrubs & exfoliants of any kind were a big no-no for me.

Sadly, my peel days are over for now.

I know that feeling. I didn't get to test the peels since they were going back and I figured I should have 2 samples left to return with the package. After your experience I'm glad I didn't try them. Someday when you are feeling brave again try the St. Ives Apricot scrub. It's so gentle.
