Beauty Products I've Used up / Would I Buy Again

[@ChristinePacinda]

I was chuckling about your comment of wanting larger shampoo bottles than conditioner, because I'm the exact opposite. I use far more conditioner for my very long hair and have finally started buying large bottles of conditioner and smaller bottles of shampoo.

[@Pamela-B]

Me too!

[@hkr3520]

Same Same Same!!!

[@Lisa-yg9tn]

Ditto!

[@milicamarshastefanovich3312]

I’m 51, and have always taken good care of my skin. Truthfully, I don’t see a difference in my skin using any form of vitamin C. Once I finish up what I have, I will no longer be purchasing it. I’m coming to the conclusion that none of the marketed serums do anything. In the end, all you’ll need is a moisturizer, sunscreen if you want, I hardly use them because I prefer to wear a wide brimmed hat, and some form of retinol accompanied by a think moisturizer. I absolutely love the Cerave night cream that you showed us and in the winter I love to add a squirt of their gel oil to it. Absolutely perfection in my opinion.

Hi Bobby, when I was going thru menopause, I started acupuncture for my hot flashes and night sweats. After about 4 weeks (of twice weekly sessions), they finally subsided. I went every 4 weeks thereafter for about a year and then slowly tapered back. It REALLY helped me, and I went thru early menopause in my late 30s when they really weren’t offering HRT. Just thought I’d share this with you since it helped me.

[@dianemoyers4223]

I love your honesty, and I love that you are paring down. I have so much stuff, and so many boxes to break down.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thanks Diane! I honestly feel that simpler is better most of the time!!!!

[@marydenney8249]

When you mentioned sleep it peaked my interest. I was exactly like you. What worked for me was a 30 minute walk everyday. Now I sleep thru…unless I have to pee…then I go right back to sleep. No redoing my HRT or any other drug worked. Walking is what worked for me

[@kimshine4011]

I'm the opposite. Conditioner bottles are too small. I always run out of conditioner before shampoo. I also double cleanse.

[@kimvillasenor3]

Very informative and fun video! Words are hard when you are up at 2 AM 💜

[@laughin212]

I love your lipgloss/lipstick, what color brand is it. It looks great on you.

[@emp2291]

I bought smaller versions of the Oribe after so many people raved too! I was completely unimpressed and so glad I didn't splurge on the bigger sizes.

[@tomjones2157]

I go through 2 - 3 conditioner bottles for every shampoo bottle! When my hair is very short it's 1.5 conditioner to 1 bottle of shampoo.

[@CurlyQScrapper]

Magnesium glycenate is what my pcp recommended and works great for sleep!

[@debbiekelly4316]

Have you tried taking a magnesium supplement for sleep? It’s the only thing that works for me!

[@MindfulMidlife]

I take it every night. Sadly, it doesn’t do much for me.

[@tquirkyt7118]

❤ I am 57 and I’ve been on HRT for a few years now, and I had major trouble with sleep just like you describe. Magnesium has helped a great deal…you have to play with a different types and how they work for you, and in what dosages. I’m currently happy with Kappa Nutrition Magnesium Complex (a combo of L-Threonate, Bisglcinate and Malate) and a separate Oxide as needed. I also take sleep gummies (Nevis 5-HTP) with sleep supporting ingredients. I have stopped taking melatonin with all the studies coming out about it, which are very concerning. ❤️LOVE REMEDY❤️ I also stopped Tretinoin and use this instead 😎 Love the Laneige lip mask too…use it night, morning…love❣️The only thing I feel is equal, is the Biossance Squalane + Rose Lip Balm in a tube💥 Love Kerasal for my fingernails at night✨Also love The Perricone MD eyeshadow, which I’ve used for over a decade, nothing compares, and No One talks about…until you‼️✨

[@klwh6513]

Some melatonin thoughts, GNC melation works well. Sublingual 1 mg helps fall asleep and they have delayed release for waking at night. To stay asleep a delayed release works better.

[@heatherbakken1936]

If you really liked the Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo and Conditioner, try the Verb Ghost Shampoo and Conditioner. It's a more affordable option with virtually the same ingredients. I discovered that from Angie Hot & Flashy.

[@browneyes-cj8eg]

you just make me smile.. I take magnesium citrate and progesterone at bedtime and also wear a estradiol patch on my rear all week.. I'm 72 and will not go without these things.

[@missyliaj5lori942]

Thks for the great /honest reviews,have some new products I need to try😊

[@dianemoyers4223]

I love Agency too, but I have a stockpile. I can't use it everyday. I have cut back to once a week. Once I use up my stockpile, I will consider signing up again. I really don't like monthly subscriptions. I like to order as needed.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Yes. subscriptions can be problematic for that. I can't remember, but I thought you can skip months if you need to or have it come at a slower pace??

[@dianemoyers4223]

You are right, but I actually need to press the button. LOL. That is what I will do if I sign up for another subscription. That you.

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for doing this. I love timeless vitC. At night, I alternate dermelect sleep serum & outcrease retinol & one night I use cosrx snail mucin & cream. Oh I just love woolzies pink hibiscus lip balm. I appreciate you being here ! Hi Mrs. Betty ❤! I hope that you're doing well. So far, I've picked 43 quarts of cloudberries & blueberries out on the AK tundra. God bless you immensely ❣️ 👋

[@leneskov5184]

In stead of Tretinoin I can recommend Geek&Gorgeus A-Game - it is a retinaldehyde and comes in 0,05 and 0,1 %. I have been using it on my neck and chest that cannot tolerate Tretinoin.

[@champagenroses]

I take the Webber Naturals Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 mg - Vegetarian Capsules. I take 1 capsule just before I go to bed - it does help me sleep better 😴 Take care everyone 🌹

[@carolgriffiths6603]

Magnesium Glycinate is a must have for me.

[@erinf4712]

Jergens self-tanner, Cera Ve PM, Timeless (Vit C and CoQ10), and Kerasal are all my go tos and have been for years.

[@jenniferbull84]

Super fun!

[@alamryfarms754]

Hi Bobbie, for sleep, I take the Kirkland (Costco) doxycycline succinate 25 mg. It helps me so much! It’s super inexpensive and I don’t feel hungover in the morning. Melatonin is a joke for my body. Hope that helps.

[@pjgrace3183]

I swear by doxy succ. (Unisom), for maybe 30 yrs. Only ingredient that’s worked for me. I occasionally add a Charlotte’s Web CBD sleep gummy, when my brain is racing and won’t stop. I cut them in half, works just as well for me as a full one, and a jar lasts longer.

[@MindfulMidlife]

Thanks, I haven't! I'll see what my doctor says, but I may look into the Kirkland brand!

[@DaltonsFriendswood]

Find the best price for Timeless products is often at Target.

[@lisaharr1477]

Wow ! What a bucket full of stuff !!! I love your reviews, speed reviews, yahoos and boos, all of it ! It really helps when I want to try something new. So thank you Bobbie! I wanted to suggest to you to try the LaRoche Posey Adapalene gel to use as your anti aging. My skin is super sensitive too and I started out with the prescription Adapalene and have now gone to the over the counter version because it’s WAY more affordable. Adapalene has only been studied for acne so it doesn’t claim any anti aging benefits, but I worked for a dermatologist for many years and she says it definitely does work for anti aging. I totally agree that it does. It will make you peel occasionally, but I always use the Cereve pm moisturizer as a first layer, then apply the Adapalene and that really helps with the peeling process. Let me know if you try it ! I really love it. Love your videos Bobbie !! You always brighten up my day !!!! 💕💕💕

[@MindfulMidlife]

I think I used that quite a while ago and it didn't go well for my skin. I'll look again though! Thanks Lisa!

[@lisaharr1477]

@@MindfulMidlife oh no ! Maybe the prescription would be better ? It has a lot of buffers to help with the typical retinol issues. I hope you find one that works for you !

[@canine6023]

Jones Road beauty have you tried this make up? Could you test it out?? looks interesting for older women .

[@karlaharvey2623]

Hi Bobbie, Karla 63 here once again. lol. I too had to quit Agency. My skin Never not peeled and never wasn’t scaly. No matter what changes my Provider made. I tried Medic8 Crystal Retinaldhyde and my skin loves it. What’s great is they have several strengths. I started with their strength 6, for two months, then went to 8 for one plus months and am now on strength 10. My super dry, dehydrated skin loves it. It’s pricey, but so worth it. My mom Loved the CereVe night cream, so I bought it and am loving it for pm routine. Oh, I love Purito Seoul Wonder Relief Centella Cream( unscented). It’s amazing for super dry skin. I will be repurchasing on YesStyle for fall/ winter months. I don’t know what it is, but every moisturizer with Ceramids makes my face sting abit? I too tried Amika Shampoos and would not repurchase. Great Emptie Video. Always enjoy your personality and honesty. Always get a few giggles in thru them. Thank you Bobbie for being you. Oh, my Optometrist told me to never use Lumify in my eyes? With long term use, it can really cause problems with our optic nerves and blood flow. ? I will keep you in my prayers that you start sleeping thru out the nights. I went thru that and was walking around like a zombie. I am so grateful and thankful to my Dr for Rx a great sleeping med that has and continues to give me amazing sleep. 😊

[@MindfulMidlife]

Hey Karla! Thank you for your prayers! Yes, I am a bit of a zombie some days as well. Thanks for your suggestions. I'll look into the ones you have liked! I've never heard of Medic8.

[@karlaharvey2623]

@@MindfulMidlife medic8’s Crystalized Retinaldahyde is really popular. They are a medical grade skincare line. Their retinaldahyde along with their night cream has really helped my skin. I’ve repurchased several times. It is pricey, but there are many with Discount codes and they are always doing sales. I’ve had no side effects from using.

[@leek7987]

High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate 240 mg. I get this from Costco. Life changing for me as far as sleep goes. It took a while for me to notice but now it makes me so sleepy that I jerk myself awake when I am in bed reading. If I do wake up, I am able to go back to sleep. Mention to your Dr. I researched at Cleveland & Mayo Clinic.

[@dawnbrandt2917]

Hi Bobbie! This question doesn't have anything to do with this video ( 😔) but I remember you mentioning the readers you wear. Can you remind me of the brand and where you got them? I think they look great on you and I want to try them too.

[@cindystafford9267]

Bobby do you keep your Timeless Vitamin C in the refrigerator? And have you heard that you have to use the Vitamin C within 3 months. I would like to buy the larger bottle as I think it is more cost effective. Love you videos thank you for your honest reviews

[@MindfulMidlife]

No I don’t! I don’t keep track too well on how long I use it but I’d guess that’s about how long it takes to get through the larger bottle.

[@paulachristie7807]

I can't use both Tretinoin and a vitamin C with L - Ascorbic Acid. I certainly couldn't ever use 20% vit C. I had to chose between the two and chose Tretinoin. I do use an anti-oxidant serum with Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (a stable Vit C) which is less irritating.

[@Sunluvn1]

Thank you for this video. I agree wholeheartedly on the Oribe shampoo & conditioner hype. I wasn’t impressed either. Wanted to suggest a moisturizer from E.L.F. Holy Hydration Face cream for all skin types. Love you & all your honest review videos. 😊❤️

[@lorimehrtens3552]

So funny- I use more conditioner than shampoo. I always wish for the opposite than you 🤣😂 My hair is short which could be the reason.

[@wendyrose67]

Hi there! I saw a video you did quite awhile back where you talked about not being able to get a moisturizer or lotion that contained Urea anymore. Maybe it was Eucerin? Anyway, I've recently discovered Gold Bond products that do have Urea and I cannot believe the difference it has made in my skin! I'm even using the hand and body lotion on my face. You might want to check it out 🙂

[@Pamela-B]

Hi Bobbie 😊 I really enjoy the Cerave night cream for winter and the PM formula for summer. They’re both great and don’t irritate my skin. I’m currently paring down my routine also. Using up what I have. I have a laneige tub that has taken me 2 years to use up too! 😂 Honestly though…my favorite skincare line is Tatcha. It’s expensive, but it lasts a really long time because a little goes a long way. I only buy it on sale and from Sam’s club.

[@MindfulMidlife]

I'm sure I had my tub longer than 2-years - yikes! Tatcha is a great brand! I wonder if it's at Costco? I've never seen it.
