Yay!I'm so excited. Sorry bout the tax love! Glad you were still be able to get the 30%. Elegant-one you rock!
Was going to get the eye balm but I still have quite a bit of the Shiseido eye cream I bought last year. After that's gone if I like this line I'll try it!
I want the Algenist products to work as great for everyone as much as it did for me! I think it would be a really really great line for those that struggle with acne because it really clears the skin.
I'm using the sample packets of the eye balm but ordered the genius cream one.

I'm hoping it's going to be good for my skin. Mine is dry and sensitive, but somewhat prone to clogging. I'm hoping the cleanser I bought helps all that! Also, I bought the Beauty Unmasked set from Sephora, so together I think it'll be a win.

I have seen the results mask gives and I was stunned. We put it on my colleague who had shitty skin- congested, uneven , dull... she really doesn;t take care of it. After only one use when she washed it off her skin was GLOWING. even toned, even texture, congestion less visible. seriously unbelievable

You have totally sold me on this mask. Elegant sold me on the cleanser and she was so right I love it, now I'm heading off to order the mask!

I always recommended this for my combo/oily clients, it has really good coverage without feeling cakey. it is very matte for sure, but most of my oily clients loved this.

I'll be picking up the mask for myself and the purifying cleanser for my daughter.

Strong opinions here!!! It's everything PeachTwist said: smooth and long wearing. I'll swatch the pencils on my hand to show someone and when I clean my hands later the Highliners still remain. I have to use MUFE Sense Eyes to get it off. Even though these liners are smaller many of them are colored and probably won't be for everyday use so it's just as well. It's a good way to try them.

Amber was too yellow. Praline, seemed to beige/brown, but works. Around my hairline it was off. I got a sample of a color, but no name, and I STILL can't figure out what color that is. I've looked at all the brown ones. LOL Maple, Chai, Amber, Praline and Pecan. I think that is all of them. I'm going to try and go swatch them again in order.
The BD shades in YSL are more yellow. The Bs are more beige. I believe BD55 is actually darker than BD60 so try both.
There is no "order" to the new LM foundation shades and it is beyond frustrating. You'll need to swatch a lot of them. I honestly never found a good match in this formula. The two colors I mentioned are off on me too. Did you try putting Amber on your face? It's terribly yellow swatched, but it was passable on my entire face.

I have the Algae Brightening Mask, but didn't open it because a) I was not trying any new skin products in the months leading up to my wedding and wrecking my fabulous skin, and b) when I rediscovered the jar mid-summer I thought it was another hydrating mask and figured I'd save it for winter. I went to use it the other day and remembered it was a mud mask.
Monsy: How do you think this compares the the GlamGlow PowerMud (green)? I don't have congested skin so I'm not sure if the results will be significant for me.
