💨 A Very Windy Low Buy Update #1💨 3 Month Check-In + Winter Skincare Empties |

[@p.y.6581]

I know many of my friends going through this experience: want to own and try different beautiful products which promise us hope of beautiful skin, skin gets more sensitive and worse, go back to basic skincare, more experiments, more damage to skin, one day finally become a minimalist.

Sometimes we need to go through various trials and errors to understand! I know I did lol -_-

You have a very calming personality, voice and also a soothing perspective. Makes me settle down and consider what i have instead of what i need need need. Thanks for your videos, big fan :)

Thanks for watching! ☺️

Awww I'm so enjoying these videos Michelle!!! Thank you. And you are right about trying to embrace minimalism.

[@michxmash]

Thanks for watching! ☺️ So far I've only experienced positive outcomes using minimalism as a tool and definitely not being too extreme about it.

[@giadac.8677]

@@michxmash You are right. I think that the way to go is to avoid overbuying. I should definitely learn to finish my products before purchasing new ones :)

I use the same cosrx snail cream. Its one of the only moisturizers that doesn't irritate my cystic and hormonal acne prone skin and I freaking love it, I use it as both morning and evening creme so I go through each tub in about 4 months and no irritation happened. in fact whenever I do have irritation/breakouts from experimenting with other products, I go back to that one to calm my skin down. only downside is that its very glossy so I can be a bit too shiny. YES if you find that garnier fluid GET IT! back when I lived in Europe id only buy that, went through maybe 3 or 4 bottles of it, its same like Shaka fluid just sooo much cheaper.

I was very impressed with the COSRX Snail Cream, totally get the hype! I had a fear of finishing it up and I am punished for it lol. Definitely gonna look for the Garnier SPF now if it's that similar to Shaka Fluid!

My low buy is going well, too. I have very full shopping carts on both the Ulta and Sephora websites, but I've not been purchasing until I use up my comparable products first.

[@michxmash]

I actually removed Paypal as my payment option because I had moments where I was just way too impulsive with purchases if I used my cart as my wishlist!

@@michxmash I think You Tube beauty providers walk a fine line between conscientious consumption and need to provide product information.Better you than me! Keep up the great work!

hey Michelle, I'm at about 2 months using the .04 retin a micro. Prior to that I was using Differin xp as you did. Not seeing much improvement in the anti aging department. Was wondering how long you think I should give it. Did you notice a specific time line?? thank you....

[@michxmash]

I can't say since I was more focused on acne control and don't have major signs of aging. In general I noticed skin looked smoother, pores looked smaller and post-acne marks fade faster.

Hi love watching your videos! I am looking for a hydrating moisturizer that leaves a dewy finish on the face without clogging pores. I have tried the bioderma atoderm moisturizer but did not like the mineral oil in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you're in Canada or the U.S. try Phytosurgence Verdant Forcefield. Really liked how juicy it made my skin look especially in the summer! I mentioned it in my Mid-Year Faves 2021 and I may have used it in a PM routine.
