I wanted to see if you ordered anything from the half price sale to see if what happened to me, happened to you. I was sent old product. One of the three large size serums, I purchased, and the only one that had a manufacturing date on it, was the B5 which was 18 months old! Apparently, it has a max shelf life of 24 months. (i’ll be lucky to finish it before it expires.) 🤬I ordered three large serums from timeless during the sale and boy, has the company changed, and sadly, not in a good way. First, they are no longer putting manufacturing dates on their product boxes, only lot codes that would require you to call in and check what the manufacturing date for that lot code is (and really, how many people are going to do that?) You can’t check their lot codes online like you can with major cosmetic companies. The excuse she gave for no longer printing it on the boxes. “was to streamline processes” which is corporate speak for absolutely nothing Because they’re still printing the lot codes, so how much more effort would it be to print the manufacturing date, unless they’re selling old product and they don’t want people to know? What was more disturbing is the one box that DID have a manufacturing code, (because it’s an older product that was made before they stopped printing, the manufacturing dates, was manufactured 18 MONTHS ago! I told her this was unacceptable, and that they are known for making fresh products “in small batches” so I’d like to exchange for sending it was made fresh or at least in the last three or four months. I spoke on the phone to the same girl I always speak to there, who said she would speak to the fulfillment team about getting me a newer product. She then emailed me and told me that they had no newer product (so all their B5 stock is 18 months old?!!) so instead of giving me a chance for them to make some fresh, she refunded my money which was really upsetting, considering I Purchased, this big bottle during the half price sale so this product will be expiring in six months (assuming it is good for the full 24 months) and then I would have to buy the product at full price again - although I will never be buying big bottles again after this as it does seem that they don’t make the large bottles as often as they do the small ones, at least not in the B5. The worst part is that they apparently have a ton of the 18 month old B5 serum left that they plan on selling to customers. She said “we have to get rid of our old stock.” She didn’t say this, but it does seem like they use the big sales to unload old stock. (several other bigger companies also did this during the Black Friday sales.) If I had known I was going to be getting 18 month old product, I would’ve bought the smaller bottle because then the shorter shelflife wouldn’t have been such a big deal as I would’ve been able to finish it in time.. I’m frankly shocked they would sell something that old to customers. That goes against everything I thought the company was about, but the more I talked to the phone rep (and it’s a very small company where everyone knows everyone), I got the impression that these changes are because of the company’s growth. The girl talked about how they had grown and that’s why they needed to streamline processes and no longer less the manufacturing date on the box. As someone who worked in corporate America In corporate communications, I know a load of corporate crap when I hear it. So it seems that as they have grown larger, they are no longer sticking to The standards they were known for.. Maybe they don’t make The large bottles as frequently. I don’t know, but it looks like I’m going be having to switch companies. I’ve never heard of any cosmetics company, not putting a manufacturing or best by date on their products; The large companies put a lot code that you can go online and check the to get the manufacturing date but Timeless doesn’t do. Considering they sent me an 18 month old bottle of serum and are now choosing not to print the manufacturing date next to the lot code, it would seem that they are planning on diverging from selling their fresh made products The person I spoke to on the phone who told me all this, is the same person. I spoke to a few months prior who said that it’s always preferable to purchase directly from timeless versus their authorized reseller on Amazon because when you purchase from them, you know you’re getting fresh product. I reminded her of that conversation when we spoke. She really couldn’t say much considering they had just sent me 18 month old product. Then I got the email that I would not be getting a replacement, because the first woman center didn’t have it so they were refunding my money. So incredibly disappointed in this company. I think I will be switching over to Geek & Gorgeous Who makes their products and such small fresh batches that they often sell out until the new batch has come in. I’m just quite disappointed in this company who I loved, but it seems all companies change as they get bigger. I would not be at all surprised if the company is getting ready to be acquired by a larger company. Otherwise, I can’t imagine them, abandoning the principles they have been known for. Did any of the boxes you got, have the manufacturing date on them? We’re any of them old like mine?

Awsome!!!

Hello, Do you store all your Timeless serums in the fridge? Obviously it’s important for the Vit C to keep it from oxidizing. Mine lasted 8 mos without oxidizing until I could use it all up. I was so impressed. I buy the 1.7 oz in Vit C (like i think you got?) and 1 oz in others but am considering switching to the 4 oz for the Matrixyl Synthe 6 & CoQ10. The bottles look huge so I’m not sure if they wil fit easily into the sides of my fridge without taking up a ton of space needed to food. Trying to stock up during their 50% off birthday sale this week. Would love to hear if the big bottles fit easily in your fridge. Thanks!

That mauve/ brown color is great!

This is a great channel

Great tutorial Wendy! Thank you so much for sharing! I love your personality and the video was great!

Ew I love ❤️ the shades ! Wonderful job , great recipes thank you .

Beautiful! ❤

Where can I find the lip liner containers?

Thank you Wendy for sharing your journey . And its plant based too

I know this is an older video, but I just want to say that I really appreciate your honesty about your experience. The science behind hair care is so interesting and I literally cringe inside when I hear of people using soap on their hair. For some people, it works, but in the long run can do a lot of damage.

in reality, it is not this easy.

Please share measurements

Can you make smudg free professional gel liner?

Good for you for trying this, even if it turned out too soft to begin with! Is your recipe the "amended" version? Are there other sources beside Aliexpress? Would love to see some other colors: gray, brown, turquoise, lavender, etc.

Interesting recipe for the bronzer. How would you suggest one get the right color/tone? I have a slight tan and my skin has a peachy undertone. I would love to see you do a BLUSH STICK recipe, using shea butter, maybe cocoa butter, coco oil, colorant, etc. I use Cocoacare 100% cocoa butter that comes in a 28g/1 oz push-up stick that I would love to use for a blush stick container so I'm saving mine for this purpose. Again, I'd prefer a "beetroot" similar color but perhaps you could do 2 or 3 different shades. Just giving you some ideas for more videos!:) Will be checking out your other videos too. Thanks!

Hi Wendy ,so happy to come across your channel as I've been looking for some SIMPLE recipes for cream makeup using basic ingredients that don't break the bank! I have a few comments and questions. Is beeswax necessary in the recipe? If so, how much would one use from a block of beeswax??? Next, I like your recommendation of the TKB company and have been looking at their website. I would like to see you do a shea lipstick with a "beetroot" color, whether you use actual beetroot or micas. There are so many pink/red micas that I would not know what to choose to get a beetroot color. I've read that beetroot has to be ground really fine to mix in. Perhaps if you feel like it, you could try using beetroot AND also use/mention what colors of mica would work. It would be greatly appreciated! Last question on the lipstick: Can you use regular lipstick tubes as opposed to the balm-type tubes? I'm going to subscribe and also comment on your cream bronzer for another beauty idea. Please keep posting!!!!! All the best!!!

Did you figure out how to fill the liners? That's my challenge

keep it up !

♥

That color have mica, if you looking for a video you will see how poor children work on mica mine, 7 days a week, 8 to 10 hours. Please stop to abuse children for your makeup, stop using mica

Nice

Hello, could you please tell me at what temperature did you add the fragrance?

vitamin c is good for the AM. It boosts your SPF and fights the stressors during the day.
