Request for Vit A and D serum

Karen, I know you're busy with everything right now (congratulations!) but I wanted to put in a request for a oil-based serum with ergocalciferol (activated vitamin D) and a retinoid of some sort in it. All the drugstore retinoids are all siliconey and gross, but the active ingredients seem to be he...

Re: niacinamide and salicylic acid?

Actually, I only use the scrub about twice a week. More than that is overkill. I could definitely use it at a different time. I also have some stuff with other acids that I'm going to use up first before I even try new things, but I wanted to plan ahead. :)

Re: niacinamide and salicylic acid?

That was fast! I mainly REALLY LOVE awesome sauce and like my scrub (the one with the salicylic acid) a lot, too, and wanted to be sure that I could still use them both if I started with some niacinamide products. Since the scrub doesn't remain on the skin, I'm hoping it will be fine. Of course, I'l...

niacinamide and salicylic acid?

On the description for super serum, it says that the niacinamide in the product is incompatible with all acids. Is it completely incompatible with salicylic acid as well? I have a drugstore scrub that I like that has 1% salicylic acid, and was wondering if it would be worth it to try a sample of the...

GWP watermelon coconut mask

I'm so excited to try this! Any ideas on what to mix it with and at what ratio? How long to leave it on? I am thinking tomorrow is brains and beauty night.

Re: Facelift is back, and brought a few friends...

How would this compare to the Vitamin C Peptide serum? I've been using that for a few months, and I'm not sure it's been as miraculous as I'd like. My skin is oily, acne-prone, and dehydrated. Awesome Sauce sounds like it would be good for addressing the acne and for hydrating - how does the amount ...

Re: Let's Talk about Hair....

Things I would use:

1. shampoo concentrate - sulfate free and with enough preservative to predilute in a squirt bottle. Bonus if it has a citrusy scent. Could be sold in a 4 oz. bottle and used at a 1:8 or 1:16 ratio.

2. silicone-free serum

3. pre-shampoo treatment (maybe)

Re: Valentines???

I'll second the matte tomato-red blush. I'd be all over that.

I've also been wanting a red gloss with blue duochrome and a pink gloss or stick with green duochrome. Both should be vegan, ideally.
