The strawberry and peach smells really good. I haven't tried them yet. I'm excited to try the shower balm. I got the sponges to hopefully help me with makeup application. I finally found the Beauty Impressions lip balm in vanilla and cherry scent. I love all the lip balm scents of this brand.

I'm so happy that he's a great eater now. He decided to start eating, and he went from 8g for about 6-7 months to 22g on his last weigh in. I'm sure he's a little heavier now. He's still half the size of my other male snake that arrived with him.

He's so eager to eat now that he sometimes drags his food off his plate and gets shavings on his food. I plan to put him in a bioactive enclosure soon.

The last 2 pictures are from different times that he ate his food.

Which makeup setting product is good? I don't wear makeup, but I need to start wearing at least foundation. I have normal skin that isn't dry or oily. I don't have acne or sensitivities. I'm getting a few wrinkles, and I don't want to accentuate them. I'm trying the Prolux foundation, and it will come off if I touch my face. I don't want that.

I was looking at the aloe gel in the bottle online, and the ingredient list looks different. It looks like they took out the 2 common allergenic preservatives that I've heard Dr. Dray talk about. I didn't get the aloe gel, but I probably will at some point.

I've noticed that I'm seeing those 2 preservatives in fewer and fewer things. I just got the Baby Love creamy baby oil lotion with the whale on the label. It's the only product that I bought at DTwith those preservatives. Luckily, I don't have allergies to anything right now. I hope they replace them in the creamy baby oil lotion. It feels awesome on my skin. The scent should be taken out even though it's not that strong, and I don't mind it.

The makeup brush looks good. I didn't buy it. Is it better to use a brush or sponges for foundation?

Anybody have experience with the dual cream eyeshadow stick from bpure?

This confusion in what color works is why I don't wear makeup. I'm afraid to look worse with makeup or to look like I thought I looked better than I do even though I really look like a clown with a mask.

I didn't blend these into my skin or prep my skin with anything like moisturizer or sunscreen. I wiped them on thick. I tried to get a good picture in the same light, but it's harder than it seems. Number 1 is Linen and 2 is Sand. I couldn't find the color Natural. I think Natural might work best of out the bottle, but who knows because they look so different on skin. I have 4 colors, but I didn't want to open them all if I didn't need to. I really believed 1 would be the closest match. Number 3, A, and B are mixes of 1 and 2.

Which one looks decent enough? Should I keep looking?

I wish Prolux sold a sampler kit with a big dollop of each color that they have in a blister pack or something. I'd pay for that.

I dont know why some of my pictures turn sideways when I upload to Reddit.

I couldn't believe that I found the Prolux foundation. I have little idea of what color will match me. I got 4, and I'm hoping something matches or comes very close. I've never really worn foundation because I couldn't get a decent match. I'm getting older and need to start wearing foundation to help prevent and get rid of dark spots by preventing them from getting darker. I saw Dr. Dray on YT talk about how foundation or tinted sunscreen helps people with deeper skin colors prevent dark spots from visible light. Regular sunscreen doesn't protect from visible light. I didn't know that foundation or tinted sunscreen could help protect my skin from dark spots, so I never put much effort into finding a matching foundation.

I'm naturally tan in color, so I got the shades that weren't the darkest or lightest. I think the light-medium from bpure's Essentially Ageless concealer is a decent enough matchm I tried to narrow the shades down more in the store, but I couldn't tell between the shades. I must have looked like a total weirdo trying to take pictures with a bottle of foundation up against my face and neck. The pictures didn't help me choose at all. Looking in a mirror at the store didn't help me either.

I found the Orchid moisturizer, LA's totally awesome hypochlorous acid, unscented feminine wash, honey butter cream, honey drip body milk, aloe spray, and 2 of the Spathecary lip balms. I'll probably use the lip balms as solid perfumes.

I'm excited to try all of these new things out due to some reviews in here.

My skin isn't sensitive. I might have a dry spot now and then. I don't have acne or oily skin.

I tried the Dermasil Melon Jelly, GBC Glowing Vitamin C in the pink tube, and the GBC Rice water cleanser. All of them were good. None of them dried out my skin or felt greasy and heavy.

I finally found the XtraCare Hydro plus cleanser, and my skin felt smoother and softer after the first use. I thought it was a fluke, so I alternated between my cleansers to see if it was all in my mind. My skin liked the Hydro Plus best.

I compared it to the Orchid cleanser because it gets rave reviews. I tried it a couple of times, and it was good but not as good. The Orchid bubbles a little more. My skin picked Hydro Plus as the winner. I'll use my other cleansers up, and I'll stick with Hydro Plus cleanser.

I got the Hydro Plus gel moisturizer. I tried probably 4 moisturizers to see if they'd work with my sunscreen. So far, only the Hydro Plus has worked with my sunscreen of choice without pilling. Ip only use Banana Boat Sheer Sensitive Body Lotion SPF 50 because I don't like the texture or scent of other sunscreens on my face. The Hydro Plus gel moisturizer has a faint scent that fades fast, so I don't mind it. I wish they'd make it fragrance free.

I found the Orchid cleanser. Everything smelled wonderful. None of the scents were overpowering and knocking out my sense of smell. The scents smell great, but they don't stay strong, but that's what I want. The honey foot glaze was the strongest scent. It smells like opening a huge jar of fresh honey.

I made a mistake and got the feminine moisturizer, but it can be used anywhere according to the label. I meant to get the body wash. I wanted to compare it to Lume body wash. I was in a big hurry and grabbed the wrong one. The scent is very mild and doesn't last for more than a few minutes. This moisturizer soaks in so fast and my skin feels veey smooth. It feels good as a hand lotion if avoiding greasy fingers is important to you.

The body butters in the black containers feel and smell awesome from my first impression of them. I put a small amount on different parts of my arm. I love melon, so the green one is my favorite scent. They're thick, absorb fast, and spread easily.

The lip balm in the green tumbler is so cute. It's lime scented but no real flavor that I can taste. It spreads nicely and feels good. It's not heavy or greasy on the lips. The top is kind of hard to unscrew the first time. I want to get the watermelon one that I saw. They'll make cute containers for things like vitamins earrings after the lip balms are used up.

I haven't tried the Beauty Impressions lip balms except the coconut lime. The coconut lime smells really good. It goes on easilu, feels nice on, and not greasy or heavy. It's a little more slick than the lip balm in the tumbler but not by much.

I haven't tried the Dermasil day cream, but I'm sure it's great. I've used the night cream, and it's great.

The weird thing is that the XtraCare Extreme Renewal Cream has a different texture than the jar I bought about a week ago from a different store. They have the same numbers on the bar code label. I don't know why they'd be different. One is runny and more translucent. They feel the same on my legs from what I can tell. I'll have to test it some more. I don't know why they'd be different at all.

I was tempted by those food flavored toothpastes because I'm so curious about what it's like to brush with food flavors.

I love these potted lip balms. However, I don't like touching potted lip balms with my fingers if I can't wash my hands before digging into the lip balm. I know most people don't mind doing that, but I can't bring myself to do it. I almost never buy potted lip balms because I can only use them at home where I can easily wash my hands. I got the idea to get these applicators. They're flexible silicone and come with a cover. Now, I can buy all the DT potted lip balms. 🤣

DT has a nice silicone applicator that's about the size of a lipstick, but I didn't see a cover for it. I've also seen silicone lip scrubbers at DT that would probably work. I need something small with a cover to take in my little purse or pocket without it getting dirty. I've seen some shorter applicators, but I got these long ones to make it easier for me to hold.

The serum in the bad Dermasil roller bottle can be put inside an old roller bottle that works. The top part that holds the roller ball can be taken off. I wedged tweezers under the rim of the roller ball holder and pushed up to take it off.

I was going to use an empty dropper bottle, but I found the old roller bottle. I got that eye serum in the red bottle years ago from DT. I don't know why I kept the empty bottle, but I'm glad I did.

After washing off the top of the red bottle, I tried to put it on the Dermasil bottle. The opening on the Dermasil bottle is slightly larger, so that didn't work. I washed the red bottle to put the serum in it. The red bottle was only supposed to hold .25 oz, and the green one holds .50 oz. The serum barely fit inside with just enough room for the top part with the roller ball.

I've been looking for something like this. I saw someone post about it in here a while ago. I didn't think I'd see them, but I saw a box at the small DT that's almost across the street from me.

They feel well made. I have a label maker for when I fill them up. I got 3, but I'd like to get a couple more. These are good for travel or if you want to take a few things in your purse or backpack in a more organized and compact way.

I think they hold about 2 ounces each.
