Gumballs! We're trying something new!

For the Creamsicle Scrub. I would use it on hands, feet, and body in the bath or shower. Just gently rub in your skin and rinse off.

For the Microdermabrasion Cream, I would use it before cleansing your face about two to three times a week. Gently rub it into your skin and rinse it off with warm water. I know a few of us use it in the shower.

Ok, one of the surprise gumballs I got was a gorgeous hot peachy-pink lippie called Ashley. I LOVE it!!! Is that something brand new, or from the past? I would've ordered one for my friend if it was with the rest of the lippies... no way am I getting rid of this one, lol.

Ashley is among the first colors Karen made. It is definitely a pretty pink.

I got Ashley and Seedy. Love them both. Seedy is so close to my lip color!
I rxed a Sparkley (a colorless gloss) too - I gave it to my son - he has been eyeing my makeup !

let me know what you think about using it with the cream. it did definitely seem to mix better with cream rather than straight oil.

I tried mixing the ACTive Powder into GoW Lift Me Up Lotion. I honestly thought it was more dry feeling than when I use the HASerum. It worked, and I did feel the slight tingle Karen talked about in the ACTive Powder description when mixing it in the cream. With the HASerum mix, I would just feel a tightening. I did not like the feel of the cream/powder well enough to switch. I usually do a cream after my HASerum/ACTive Powder/Emu Oil mixture sinks in a little. It is now so ingrained inmy routine, that it took me several nights to remeber to even try the ACTive Powder in a cream!

thanks for trying that, jen. i have started mixing it with my HA serum and like that a whole lot better. i do feel a little tingling now and it goes on much smoother. thanks for the tip (again i'm not sure how i forgot the vit c is a water soluble vitamin! duh

Slightly OT but relating to the above posts - could Karen consider producing a Hyaluronic Acid serum please? I understand GoW sells them, but I can't buy from there (I don't have the classic credit cards) and, to the best of my limited knowledge, there isn't an alternative broadly available to UK shoppers. It is a not-so-new 'buzz' ingredient and a major focus of marketing campaigns in the famous name brands latest products. But I'd prefer the simplicity of the HA itself (not wrapped in chemicals guised as moisturiser) and frankly, I'd rather trust Karen than most others! Just a thought to conjure with.

Yes...I thought I'd work on some serums this week. I don't think I'll do a straight HA one though. I've tried a few, and played with it as an active, but for my money I don't think it quite delivers the "bang for the buck". It's not a bad ingredient, but I really prefer Tamarind Seed extract- it has better clinical evidence for skin smoothing/hydration/wrinkle fighting, and it's more cost effective.

I'm waiting on a shipment of some stuff, and then I'll get moving with them.

That's exciting - I wouldn't mind how a HA-type product was made, so long as it's natural / botanical as much as possible and not wrapped in unpronounceable hydrocarbons I'd be confident in your knowledge of how best to make it (you've never let us down yet!)
