Over the weekend, I read something in print (I don't remember where it was, just that it wasn't online - I was physically holding the paper) that said that the drying cream was fantastic. I figured it couldn't hurt to try. I hope it's not TOO drying - my ski has been pretty dry lately. Would you (or anyone, really) be able to explain why everyone seems to love rose water? I don't really get the hype. I'll definitely update with my thoughts on the products after trying them a couple times.
It's almost like a clay cream or something.. I only put it on bumpy/congested area at night -chin and sometimes my forehead- and in the morning they are usually gone. My sample firmed and kind of dried up after a bit (i still smeared on almost every last bit haha) but my full size that i got in Dec is still soft and spreadable, I feel like it will last forever.
Wow! That's pretty fast! I kind of hope it will replace my PTR spot treatment. The Mario Badescu drying cream is significantly less expensive - I could buy 3 of the Mario Badescu drying creams for thrice of 1 PTR spot treatment. The PTR stuff works for me though, so I don't mind spending so much more.
I feel like I should clarify its on bumps that want to turn into blemishes, not an actual blemish. But still! I am in love. I recently tried the evologie that was sampled through birchbox (I bought a trial kit from their website where you pay shipping) and the serum has been awesome at actual blemishes. Hopefully the drying cream will reduce your need for a spot treatment. I can't, for the life of me, stop touching my chin ugh. The drying cream has greatly reduced breakouts and I haven't had cystic acne in like six months. I used to get one or two each month on my chin.

These are the Jouer samples I got. I was told I was supposed to receive the lip enhancer as well, but didn't. I'm not too worried about it though because I don't really need it. The four packets of luminizing tint are all different colors, even though the girl I was speaking with asked me to choose a shade.
My per-fekt samples! Absolutely love the packaging! I got the lash perfection gel, the brow perfection gel, skin perfection gel, and lip perfection gel. Can't wait to try them!
I also e-mailed Juice Beauty and Jurlique. Both said they'll be sending me some samples!
How do you purchase the samples from per-fekt? I don't see them on their website.
Rosewater has been used in cosmetics and skincare just about since people began making skincare and cosmetics. A lot of people just like the scent, but it also has anti-inflammatory properties and is calming to skin and moisturizing to some extent. Rosewater actually has some of the oils and waxes from roses in it, even though you cant see it. Rose hips (the part of the plant where the petals grow off of) is high in vitamin C and is used in skincare products and vitamins, so I'm guessing that rosewater most likely has some natural vitamin C, but I don't know that for sure. I notice a little difference in my skin when I use the Mario Badescu spray, but I don't know how much of that is from the aloe and other ingredients. It feels good on my skin and I love the scent! I even spray it in my hair sometimes for the scent. A lot of Middle Eastern cuisines use rosewater when making deserts too.
Sephora has Color Couture oil that I think is Argon oil for 12.00 on their website. Its a fairly decent sise bottle. I had a bottle and lasted me quite a while because you only use a little bit at a time.
