Dare we hope that the fact that the GWP hasn't changed means the Valentine's collection is coming this weekend? ;)

Re improvement in 2012 I for my part only have one simple wish:
I would absolutely LOVE a stronger AHA toner! Perhaps 12 % ?

Perhaps give people a choice between 8 % or 12% strength in the AHA?

I have used SN`s AHA toner well over a year, but I feel it could be stronger!
It seems my skin need it to be more potent or something. I can use it every night for three or four nights in a row, then it gives better results, but I don`t even turn red or sore! So would love a stronger one I can use less frequently so I don`t have to use up a bottle so quickly... :oops:

I can also use the BHA frequently without probles whatsoever along with the AHA, and it helps with my cysts because of my skincondition.

I second both of these! I love love love SN's AHA toner but I do think my face could handle a higher %. And I've been looking at buying MUFE's Mist and Fix to set my makeup, it looks similar to UD's DeSlick. My T-zone is super oily so I'm hoping something like this would keep my makeup on longer. I'm sure whatever Karen could come up with though would be better and more natural!

Is there a projected release date or anything? I'm hoping to place a very large order around February 5; might it be out by then? Of course, the worst that happens is I have to place another order. Darn. :D

Oxana:

I think your idea of a pressing kit is genius! I have read your posts about pressing shadows and make up and have wanted to try myself, but find myself intimidated. I have read other blogs about pressing, and there is so much conflicting information as to what is the best thing to use as a binding agent. I know that there are commercially available bottled binding agents, but they all seem to contain dimethicone, which I am allergic to. Some mention using alcohol. Some have mentioned jojoba oil, but I think that can turn rancid. I know that you use FCO, but that makes me nervous as well. I have sensitive skin, and if someone looks at me cross eyed my skin can break out! Is FCO the only binder you have used, or was that your binder of choice after trial and error?

Also, where is the best place to get the little tins and cases?

Thanks!!
