lol! i didn't even think about glossy box opening up soon! How much is their subscription?

I can't verify it, but I read $21/month. There is a thread on here, check for Glossybox USA.

I don't know about the other person, but I just broke out into rashy hives . my skin just feels like sandpaper now, so I'm not sure if/when it'll to start feeling better than before I tried this stuff. guess it was the niacin?

was this product even supposed to be a peel? "strengthens the skin's moisture barrier by up to 50%. . . improves hydration and transforms the skin's appearance." the name itself "amplifying elixir" is vague in and of itself, so I don't really know what it is :/.

It sounds like it's actually clearing your face up. I would give it a little longer. Really good products often make your skin peel, sort of like a detox. Just be sure to moisturize for the rest of the trial of the product!

Ouch! I haven't used mine yet. Perhaps you could e-mail DDF to see what they say. Hives does sound like some kind of allergic reaction, whereas peeling could be just a really strong product. Either way, I would understand if you ladies stop using it.

So there are no more codes that can be stacked with the BBSOCIETYAPR are there?  Bummer, I was thinking about ordering the By Terry....

I have a 15 off 75 purchase that came with a purchase I made from them that should be stackable because its a unique code. PM me if you want it. I'll have to send it once I get home from work though...and find it, haha.

I have read people getting rashes after the niacin flush. Though I'm not positive if it's due to strength or allergy to product. Actually looks like it is due to an allergic reaction: http://www.livestrong.com/article/456746-side-effects-of-niacin-rash/

I've been using the DDF Elixir for a week (2 x day) and haven't had an adverse reaction but my skin is fairly oily and I've been moisturizing within 1 minute of applying. But it seems this product is causing many people problems. Wonder if there was a bad batch out there as it seems to get decent reviews on Sephora.

As for the person who had peeling... I don't think that should have happened. Not with this type of product that is to increase your moisture barrier. I reached out and chatted with the live DDF rep and they said it should not have caused peeling. But everyone's skin is different.

wiki says the niacin flush lasts 15-30 minutes--it was a little sensitive/itchy the night I put it on, but in the morning as soon as I took a shower I broke out in hives. wonder if it reacts to water in any way?

I'm also having great success with the DDF even though my skin is currently combination-dry. The very first time I used it I had that crazy flush, but it went away after moisturizer. Now I have zero reaction and my skin looks brighter with every use.

So far it's been hair care and skin care:


 

 

[nelliebelle1197]

Somewhere upthread someone mentioned that CS told them there were to be more makeup items coming. We will see.

 

[Nessax3]

[Fluttershy]

Well, I started freaking out earlier because the BBTWITTER code is expired and none of the codes seemed to be stacking, so I e-mailed customer service and they told me that codes are stackable (so there is no need to worry about them taking away that ability), but BBTWITTER is expired =(
They offered to give me a $25 credit though...which I thought was awesome...lol.  They also emailed me back within 2 hours...that is some amazing customer service!!

Glad to hear they will still allow stacking.  Maybe they will come out with another code before my April box code expires.  I just need more than $15 off to justify the By Terry considering how many skin care products I have laying around.......

 

[yanelib27]

All I have is 30.00 to stack on a 75.00 order... still debating on using it. I tried the PTR foundation and I love it so I may get that and something from this months brands to make the order 75.00 ... still debating on what to do.. I could also use my 300 BB points and purchase a foundation from their shop.. has anyone tried the Smashbox foundation? Any thoughts?

Lol that person would be me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The peeling has went away (thank god). I think my skin peeled because I was using too much of the product (since it comes out so runny). I started using a very small amount and now my skin is back to normal! I still can't stand the smell of it though.. reminds me of onions for some reason lol

I just used the DDF for the second time since I got it and I notice no redness/flush/tingles at all. My skin seems fine with it. I am interested to see if I see any brightening results from continued use. Since thats what it claims to do.

Glad the peeling went away. It just seemed to be an odd reaction for a "moisture" treatment type of product. The smell is soooo stinky. I' hold my breath when applying and then sniff something pleasant (like the cookie scented candle next to the sink) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone received their Allure magazine yet?  I opted to receive it, but have not got a magazine issue yet, and I'm a bit worried since it has been over 2 months now...and they usually say give 6-8 weeks before your first issue arrives, right?

=/

I was really looking forward to getting the magazine, too. lol.

 Nope.  I contacted CS last month and they didn't know when it was going to be sent.
