i sooo need to try this stuff!

natalie1885 · Sep 2nd, 2008, 09:59 PM

i bought these about 2 weeks ago...LoVe all of it, the scent, how it's great on my oily/sensitive skin & the buffering lotion and drying lotion truly do work!
the seaweed night cream & oily freen moisturizer sunscreen are my favorite moisturizers to date. very light, not heavy and satisfies my skin's thirst!

Nice purchase! Have you tried the drying mask yet? I have it, but I haven't tried it yet because it smelled so awful when I opened it.

natalie1885 · Sep 3rd, 2008, 04:49 PM

hey seven7!
yeah i've used the drying mask twice, it does smell awful bwahaaah! but it doesn't bother me as much i think bcuz i was used to smelling proactiv products which to me smelled pretty nasty...and hurt my face too :(

plug your nose...heeeheee and then dive in & use it & have vanilla scented candles all around you, that might help bwhahaaah!!

seven7 · Sep 5th, 2008, 04:01 PM

^lol, ok good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this stuff stinks.

But, I will brave it this weekend..with or without vanilla scented candles.

Oh, and about the silver powder (I saw your post on the RM forum), they have it on their website, and code 325527 *should* give you 15% off, which usually is about enough to cover shipping.

natalie1885 · Sep 5th, 2008, 08:16 PM

^^OMIGOSH seven7, thanks for that code!!!! yaaaAAY, i'm going to order.

about the drying mask, the other thing i forgot to mention is it has a lingering scent even after you wash it-but it works wonders-so i like it still

madem0iselle · Sep 6th, 2008, 03:39 AM

quick qs- ur not supposed to shake the drying lotion right? so does that mean the pink is condensed at the bottom and when we dip the Q tip at the clearish part (top) not the pink part right?

also, how long can the drying lotion and drying cream stay in the shelves of our washroom for? a year?

about the silver powder, when you dip with the wet cotton ball, the next time you use it will it still be powdery since water has touched the powder already before...

thanks in advance!

I REALLY need to try these products, especially for my acne.

How do I request samples? I didn't see a place on the website. Or can I go to any Nordstrom's and ask?

Please let me know, Thanks! :)

Yikes...ok, I'll make sure not to put it on before planning a night out then, lol.

It is pretty stinky, but I have noticed that using Lush Ocean Salt right after using it does a pretty good job of getting rid of the leftover "stink," St. Ives scrub doesn't do too bad of a job either.

ellacoach · Sep 7th, 2008, 09:30 AM

I just used the silver powder for the first time on my chin and this stuff rocks! No more blackheads!!!

On there website the menu on the top, second tab from the right is "consulting" click on that and it will ask you to fill out a survey. They'll send you some samples based on that...

No, you're not supposed to shake the drying lotion, and I've always dipped the qtip into the pink stuff at the bottom. I just double checked the bottle, it does say that you need to dip it in the pink stuff..

And yes, the silver powder stays powdery.
