GLAMGLOW YOUTHMUD™ TINGLEXFOLIATE TREATMENT

If you've been reading my blog you know I love to take care of my skin. I like to do face masks on a weekly maybe even twice or three times a week. I always like to try different masks so that I can keep my skin guessing. Since I was in high school when I use any type of skincare product for too long it stops working. In my search for trying to sample any and every facial mask out there, I discovered GlamGlow a while back. Back then when I started using this mask, the only mask they had was the YouthMud. I read a lot of reviews about this and a lot of people either loved it or hated it. People complained that it was too harsh and it burned their face off. I also read reviews that was the complete opposite which was that they loved it. It extracted the blackheads immediately and that they would never go a day without it. 

I was skeptical at first but I figured that I'd buy it from somewhere where I can return it just in case if my skin broke out or in the words of other people that my face burns off. I read more into what the product actually does and I saw that this mask would leave your skin noticeably radiant and glowing. It works with your own natural collagen which it uses to gently resurface your skin by exfoliating your skin. By resurfacing your dead skin cells this makes your skin look smoother, brighter and softer. This mud mask also makes your skin look tighter and while refining and tightening your pores it will make your skin appear more youthful while absorbing impurities.

When I first got this mask I was surprised how much I got considering it was not cheap. The "big" pot retails for $69 which is a hell of a lot of money for a mask. I figured, let me try it out and see what the fuss is all about. I put it on my face and yes its a mud mask so I was expecting the ease of clay mask. Nope, this has green tea leaves which makes it hard to apply and its a bit messy. Once you get it on, you feel it working right away. It does tingle and yes the first time I did have to fan my face because it was a bit much but nothing I couldn't completely handle. I left it on for about 30 minutes and once it was dried, I washed it off. I poured water on my face and scrubbed my face ask much as my skin allowed and then just washed the rest of it off. It was really exfoliating. I love this mask but not sure if I would repurchase just because of the expensive price tag. Luckily, +Sephora usually has it as a 100 point perk and I grab it there when its available.

Do you have any beauty products that you wish weren't so damn expensive? Comment below!

Skin Care Tips to help Acne and or Breakouts

Skincare is very important and as if you've read my blog before you know that I am obsessed with with it. I want to know everything involved with it and I want to be able to help anyone and everyone that comes to me with questions. One question I usually get is how I treat my skin and what do I do to keep it looking flawless. I don't have full out acne but I do have occasional breakouts usually on my jawline not sure why but I do. I have different things but generally I try to do the following:

I try to not use products that will overdry my skin. I've noticed that any time you try to treat acne or blemishes the products that are designed to treat them are very drying. I have oily skin and I've noticed that some products are over drying which isn't good for your skin either. I try to get products with aloe and cucumber which are natural moisturisers. One of the cleansers that I love is Clean & Clear Advantage Daily Soothing Acne Wash which is really hydrating but helps clean blemishes. 

Another tip I can give you is to make sure you moisturize your skin. I know me saying this is kind of weird since I have oily skin but honestly you need to make sure you are moisturizing your skin day and night. Now a days there are all different kinds of moisturizers available to treat different types of skin. For someone with acne or blemishes, you should really be looking at oil free products. You don't want to add more oil but you do want to make sure that you add moisture which is different. I've said this before but just because you have oily skin,it doesn't mean that you don't need to moisturize your skin. You need to make sure that you are always moisturizing your skin because eventually adding moisture will trick your skin that it doesn't produce oil. Over time your skin will be less oily.

Third tip that you can use is to always make sure that the products that you use have salicylic acid in it. This will help treat your skin while you actually aren't treating it. So yes, there are your spot treatments that you can use and those will be great to use but what about when you have your makeup on and want to also have something that can treat your skin. Well there are a lot of makeup products such as concealers and foundations that have salicylic acid in it. Neutrogena has a lot of different products from a drugstore standpoint and then Clinique also has those types of products available in their makeup lines for a more luxury standpoint.  

Another tip which I think is 100% common sense but it is just easier said than done is to not pick at your face. This is definitely something you hear all the time but it is something that many of us still do even though we know its not good. Picking at a blemish irritates it and just makes it worse. This is prolong the healing process and it will just make it a mess on your face so best tip I can give you is to do not do it.

My final tip that I can say is if your blemishes are too hard to treat on your own, you should go to a dermatologist so that you know what type of blemishes you are dealing with. Before you can treat anything you need to know what it is. This is something that I recommend to those people who have been trying to clear their skin with no results. You want to make sure that you know what you have before you can treat it because you might have been irritating it. 

These are some tips that you can use to help on your path to clearer skin. These little things have helped me and I suggest that you try them too. Let me know if there are some tips that you use? any suggestions?

Skinfood Hydro Fitting Snail Mask Sheet Review

Hope this doesn't disappoint you to read about more skincare products but I just love them. I would love to be able to not wear makeup because I don't need anything to help cover up anything meaning no wrinkles, no dark circles or anything like that but until that day I am always going to be on the hunt for the fountain of youth. Moving on to the products of today's blog post-- If you read my post from yesterday you already know that I recently went to Urban Outfitters with my good friend +Carrie L. and I went on a bit of a shopping spree. I was really happy to be able to go since I don't get to Union Square a lot. I got the Nippon Kodo Deitanseki Facial Soap Bar and was totally in love with it. If you haven't read my blog on that you should definitely look for it. Its worth every single penny. While at Urban Outfitters, I also picked up a couple of other things. One of the things that I finally was able to get my hands one was Skinfood's Hydro Fitting Snail Sheet masks. I've been reading reviews about these sheet masks for a while now and was unable to find it in the city. Now that Korean beauty products are all the rave, they started bring different products to life such as sheet masks with different types of anti-aging properties such as snail extract, green tea extract, and ginger root. I've been wanting to try all of these different things because culturally Koreans are all about skincare and so I figured if any products are worth buying it would be these! I was really happy to be able to pick it up.

I was very excited to use this product. This particular one is a hydrating mask and it also has the anti-aging properties that come from the snail extract. This sheet mask fit on my face perfectly. There was a lot of serum on the mask enough to be able to rub into my next and under my eyes. It left my skin really hydrated just after one use. Snail extract that it has is really good for anti aging properties. Not sure if you have read in the beauty blogs lately but snail extract is the next best thing for anti-aging. When I used this mask last night and I left the sheet mask on for about 30 minutes and once it I removed it I smoothed over the serum into my face and didn't wash it. I went to bed and this morning my skin was just radiant. It felt hydrated and plump. I would definitely recommend this mask since its probably one of the best sheet masks that I've tried in a long time. This retails for $15 which is $3 a mask since there are 5 masks in each packet. I know that its more expensive compared to other sheet masks that I've talked about but I honestly believe that this one give you really good results. You can buy these from Urban Outfitters online or in store. You can also purchase this on Amazon. 

Do you have any foreign products that you've seen lately that you were dying to try? Let me know I would love to give them a shot.

Nippon Kodo Deitanseki Facial Soap Bar Review

If you follow my Facebook page you probably saw that I recently went on a Urban Outfitters haul. I went out for dinner with one of my greatest group of friends here in NYC and while at the dinner we brought up my beauty blog and one of my closest friends +Carrie L. said she wanted to go to Urban Outfitters and then Sephora. I was all for going with her and it was great. The night was really gorgeous to walk in the city and we caught up while walking. I was super excited to go to +Urban Outfitters because they have a great selection of many things but one of the things that they have is a variety of foreign beauty products. One of the best things about living in NYC is that you have amazing variety of different things at your finger tips.

A couple of weeks back I went there and picked up Panda Dream eye cream and I was super happy that I did since it really works. I've been using it ever since. I figured I'd go back and get some for my Mom since I spoke about it to her and she was jealous. Once I was there I was strong armed into buying other things, obviously. Carrie showed me this bar of soap. It was black and I immediately said I needed it without knowing what it was. Most of the lettering was in Japanese so I really couldn't understand it but I still wanted it. This soap is something else. I got home that night and wanted to use it. I removed the plastic and a really strong odor came from it-- sort of like menthol. This soap is enriched with Koalin clay and carbon powder which I think was that menthol smell. Now that I have wet it and have used it for about a week the smell has gone. This soap is definitely not for people with sensitive skin-- I don't think. I feel its a bit harsh since it really makes my skin tingle after and I really feel that my skin is really getting clean because my skin feels really tight after using. I've put on my night time retinol and that stung a bit which isn't a bad thing since retinol is so strong I didn't think it was an issue. The good thing about this soap is that it has Bentonite which moisturizes your skin and it leaves it feeling fresh and hydrated.

I raved to Carrie about this soap because if she didn't show it to me I probably would have passed right by it. I do see my skin looking clearer and just more radiant. This soap retails for $10 and you can find it at Urban Outfitters in store or online. $10 for a bar of soap isn't that much since its a huge bar of soap and since you use it on your face, I can easily see it lasting about 6+ months. If you need a new soap I totally recommend this one and trust me you won't be disappointed.

Do you have anything that you've just stumbled upon and were really happy your purchased? Please let me know in the comments below.

Sheet Masks-- Eye Edition

The other day I spoke about my weekend with my biffie +Valerie Suarez and how we stopped in TJ Maxx and I went overboard and bought almost every mask possible. I went in and bought everything and since I had so many, I wasn't able to blog about them in one blog so this is the second portion. In this post I wanted to dedicate it to all the eye masks that I bought. 

The first one is I got was Earth Therapeutics Hydrogel Under-Eye Recovery Patch. This is for when you have tired and puffy looking eyes you can just put these on and they will help your eyes depuff and not look tired anymore. This has a couple of active ingredients like green tea and this contains organic anti-oxidants that help protect the skin from aging. This also has anti-oxidant vitamin complex and this is vitamins a, c, and e and this smooths, protects, and conditions. Other ingredients are aloe vera, cucumber and chamomile. All of these are soothing, hydrates, help with puffiness and swelling and then the chamomile relieves  and naturally comforts. These are different because these aren't wet with liquid as most other ones that I've tried are like. They are completely dry and have all the goodness in a gel form. I put these on my eyes and after a half hour, I can see a difference. I usually leave these on while I do my eye makeup just to catch any fall out while depuffing my eyes. 

The next one I have is the Spa Life Wake Up Under Eye Revitalizer. These are different than the ones prior because these are soaking wet. They come all in a ziplock baggie and you can see the liquid that is saturating them. I keep these in the refrigerator by the way. These particular ones have espresso and vitamin E which hydrates and perks up the eyes. The caffeine from the espresso will perk up your eyes and help your eyes not look tired. I usually put these on in the morning before I am ready to get out of bed. I leave them on for about 30 minutes. They smell just like coffee, thats the only thing that I would want to point out. They do work because my eyes look more rested than usual when I used these. 

The next eye mask I bought was Spa Life Radiant Under Eye Treatment. This one was a definite "judge a book by its cover" type of buy. I saw that these had diamonds in it. I immediately said-- yup I need diamonds for my eyes.  These are said to rejuvenate and brighten under eye skin. These little beauties have collagen in it so your eyes will look younger, firmer and more radiant. The diamonds will brighten the skin so after 20 minutes your eyes will look well rested and also brighter. I use these usually at night and I do not put these in the refrigerator. I lay  in bed while listening to the TV or watching it since with these you can keep your eyes open, like all the other ones too. I do not use these all the time, I use these as more of a treat once every 2 weeks while rotating the other ones in more frequent. 

The last eye masks that I got were the Cucumber Hydro-Soothing Cooling Eye pads. These look like little cucumber slices. They are saturated with real cucumber extract. This is good for your eyes in that cucumbers are known for soothing the skin. This will relieve the puffiness and will also help soothe and hydrate your under eyes. These are ones that need to be put on your whole eye so I personally like to put these on when I am taking a bath and I am able to close my eyes for a bit. These smell amazing and I put them in the refrigerator so that they are even cooler than normal and it give you a great "ahhh" moment. I like doing this after a long day at work. 

Well these are all the ones I bought that weekend that I went out with my bestie. I know I completely went overboard but I love these things and honestly for the prices that they have them in TJ Maxx, why not.

Sheet Masks-- Face Edition

This past weekend I went into the city to meet up with my bestie +Valerie Suarez and we first went to Sephora which was so much fun. We went through the whole store, tried on different things, looked through different products. Valerie got her skin matched by that Skin IQ thing that +Sephora has so that it will pick up all the Foundations that Sephora has in store for you to buy. I think its great if you are one of those people that are really scared of getting something too light or too dark. If you aren't always sure of what color you should be using, I would say this is definitely something for you. This is a free service too. I believe that not all Sephora's have this but I would just call your local Sephora and ask to see if they have the SkinIQ machine that tells you your skintone.

After that fun time in Sephora we went to get our eyebrows threaded which is always fun. It isn't as painful as you think. I recommend it if you need something quick and flawless. This doesn't leave you red so if you get irritated with wax, this is a great alternative. We then went on to TJ Maxx. I was all for it because the TJ Maxx on 16th street in Manhattan is great for beauty products. I immediately went to that section. I wanted everything. I picked up about 6 different masks. From sheet masks, to mud masks, to under eye masks. I wanted it all. Valerie told me I needed to get myself under control so I picked everything up and then sorted through the ones I didn't want. They were so cheap. The masks were about $4 & $5 which is a steal. 


I am going to have a Facial edition and an Eye edition since I bought too many and it would made this blog super long. Today we are going to talk about the face masks. I'm picking them at random so the first one I chose was Forever Luminous Hydrating Facial Wrap Volcanic Ash + CoQ10. This mask is suppose to help moisturize and renew your skin. The CoQ10 is an anti-oxident and that is the anti-aging component. So you can use this mask both cold and hot. For the cool one, I personally put it in the refrigerator just so that it can get cooler and that will help with any puffiness that I could get. If you want a warm treatment you can throw the individual foil package and dunk it in warm water so that the mask can heat up. Do not put the package in the microwave!! So after you choose what method you want to use, all you do is take the mask out of the package and then put the mask on your face. You wear it for 20 mins and then you can peel it off. I used it and I have to say that I love how soft my face came out after. I put it on for about 30-40 mins because I was taking a nap and fell asleep for a bit longer than I hoped for.

The next mask I got is FY Face Wraps Cucumber & Aloe. This is another 20 minute mask. Its suppose to be soothing and refreshing hence the cucumber and aloe. The cucumber has high levels of hydrogen so this is where the soothing components. The powerful cleansers help sooth the skin and will give you a healthy glow. The aloe vera in the mask will hydrate your skin. If your skin is irritated for whatever reason, aloe vera is really good to put on your skin. Again as the prior mask, you can use this cold or warm with the same instructions as above. I used this one cold and I since I had gotten threading over the weekend, my skin was a bit irritated so this one worked like a charm. 

The last mask I am going to talk about is the Beauty Concepts Clear as Mud Purifying Mud Masks. This mask is suppose to detoxify the skin and minimize your pores, refine texture, balance oils and smooth and refresh your skin. The mud masks come in their own pods and honestly can be used for 2 applications. The first time I used it, I made the mistake with taking it all out and putting it on my skin until I realized I had enough to put on my face, neck and chest. The next time I use it, I will preserve it for 2 uses. But yes all you have to do is spread it on your skin and wait for about 15 minutes. I always wait longer than intended but when I removed it, my skin did look detoxed. I don't know how to explain it but my skin was definitely brighter and prettier after this mask. 

So that is the final review on the face masks that I got and I was happy that I purchased. They all were about $5-6 and they really work. I will follow up with the second portion of these masks and talk more about the eyes.

Aspirin Mask

I know you are all probably reading this thinking, what is this girl thinking with aspirin as a mask. I have to day I read a quick article that were talking about home remedy beauty products and I figured I'd give one a try. I've read in the past that if you crush up some aspirin and put it on a pimple it will clear it up right away. I honestly don't ever believe that hype because I've used almost every spot treatment out there and nothing worked. I've used the Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment,Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment etc and nothing has worked. Now I do not get acne per say but I can say that every so often I do break out. It's more of a hormonal thing, during that time of the month. So I saw I was getting that one usual pimple a month and since I has read about this I went ahead and googled aspirin masks and I figured I'd try one. I saw one that was easy and all it is is Aspirin, distilled water and honey if you want to make sure you don't over dry your skin. Honey is really good for your skin either way, I usually just put some honey in my face before I take a shower so that it hydrates it and smooths it. 

I did my mixture, I used store brand aspirin about 8 pills and dissolved it into a little bit of water. You want to make sure that the texture is more paste like that watery. Once that's all dissolved, I add a bit of honey which I use a little not more that needed to make sure that the mixture is easier to spread onto my face. Once it's all mixed up, I take a foundation brush that I use only for mask application and I slather it on. I start at the area where my pimple is and then I just went ahead and did the whole face and neck area avoiding my eyes and mouth, duh! I left it on for about 10 minutes and rinsed it off with a wet wash cloth. I did see my skin was exfoliated but not to the point where it was overly dry. I noticed immediately that the pimple went down. I honestly didn't even where it was and to actually see where it was, I needed to feel for it with my finger. It's been 1 day since I did the mask and the pimple is completely gone. The reason I knew this was going to work was because saw immediate results once I rinsed the mask off. I'm hooked!

I totally recommend this to anyone who wants to have clearer skin or if you want something that is like a spot treatment. Please note: that if you are in any way allergic to aspirin, do not try this mask. This will give you the same allergic reaction as if you were ingesting it.

Do you have any homemade remedies that you use? Or are there some oldie remedies your mom or grandma told you and you swear by still? Let me know I am always up for hearing about new things people are doing.

Beauty Oils... what's the scoop?

I want to be able to give you the lowdown on beauty oils. They've been around for a while now because I remember using oils as cleansers in high school, which was a while back. These are now oil serums that are good for your skin. There are many different oils that you can get. There are ones that help with aging or give you a brightening glow. There are so many different ones that its probably hard to choose which one you want. I've noticed that I like to stick to the ones that are regular since I add drops of these into my moisturizer plus I like to use them as cuticle oil or anything else that I want extra moisturizer for. One of the ones that I love is argan oil. Now there are a ton of things that come with argan oil. Its really good for your hair so one of the products you've probably heard of is the Moroccan Argan

Oil hair products. These are good even though for me, I think they make my hair a bit too greasy so I stay away from those in general. Some of the beauty oils that I like with argan oil are +josie maran 100% argan oil and 100% argan oil light. I love the light one since I have more oily skin, I feel that the light one absorbs into my skin faster without feeling oily. In the morning my face feels so soft and I think it attributes to the oil. Another thing that I learned to love to do with the beauty oil is put it on my cuticles. This does wonder on your cuticles, what I do is remove my polish and then I put a couple of drops on each nail and go to bed. I rub it in before I go to bed but then in the morning, my nails and cuticles are very hydrated. This helps my hands stay hydrated which a lot of people don't realize that when dealing with this whole anti aging process a lot of people forget their hands are a dead tell as to their age. So always make sure to take care of your hands.

Another serum that I love is the +tarte cosmetics Maracuja oil, this the other one that I use which I do the same thing. I use it the same way. Another one that I love because I was able to get a sample from +Sephora is the +boscia skincare Tsubaki beauty oil. This one has a floral scent that smells like heaven. This one helps with the premature signs of aging which for me would be great since my skin hasn't aged fully. I think once I finish my Josie Maran and Tarte one I will buy the Boscia one. I am really starting to like the Boscia skincare lately, so I will probably be buying a cleanser from them once I finish my +olay pore refining cleansing scrub. But all in all I think everyone should be

using a beauty oil. Doesn't matter which one you decide to use, you cannot go wrong if you at least have adapted one into your skincare routine. Everyone needs it, even if you have oily skin. As I've said before, these trick your skin to thinking you've already produced oil therefore your skin produces less oil making your skin less oily. Josie Maran 100% and Light retails for $48, the Tarte Maracuja and Boscia Tsubaki oil retails for $46 so they are around the same price. Please go out and splurge on these and thank me later.

Fresh 'Black Tea Instant Perfecting' Mask Review

Back on the skincare kick, today I want to talk about my new favorite mask! Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. Fresh brand is probably best known for it's lip balms. They are not cheap and honestly, I don't think they are the best but I have bought about 3 of them. I recently received a gift from my dear friend +Madeline Mulero for my birthday which I am reviewing tomorrow so stay tuned. In the +Sephora box, I got a couple of samples which I always love because I usually get to try things that I might have not bought without trying first. I received this in a sample and OMG! I was stoked! The sample you receive can only really be used for 1 application. I went online and looked at the Sephora website to see what this product was suppose to do. This mask is suppose to hydrate, immediately revealing softer, healthier, firming looking skin. Its sort of a lotion look and feel to it, nothing like a clay or peel mask. This mask has black tea ferment but you might know this as Kombucha which has a lot of antioxidants that helps with wrinkles but also helps smooth and enhance luster. Not only does it have black tea ferment but it also is added with lychee seed extract and that helps with the firming and the collagen. 

After reading what it was suppose to do to your skin, I was hooked. I rushed to take off my makeup, went in and washed my face with my +Clarisonic just so my face would be exfoliated completely and the mask can be absorbed completely. I didn't do anything else from my night time skincare routine and went straight to the mask. I opened it up and like I said, it has a lotion feel and texture. The smell isn't my favorite but its not that serious to say that I wouldn't use it ever again. The minute you put it on your skin, you feel a cooling sensation and right away I knew that this was working! You are suppose to leave it on for about 10 minutes, I left it on for 15 or 20 minutes because I am a rebel like that. Since its a lotion type mask, when you go to take it off, its very slimy so I used a washcloth to remove it with luke warm water and my skin still felt cool. My skin was definitely softer and felt smoother and hydrated. Not sure about the wrinkles since I only used it once but I am definitely buying the larger size of this mask. Only downside is that this mask retails for $88 so I am not sure if I will buy it in the next few weeks. I really think thats a bit much for a mask but I will go and see if I can snag more samples from Sephora until I buy it because its really good. 

Do you have a facial mask that you love? Let me know in the comments below, I would love to try them out!

Biore Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

Lately, I've been reading from one of my favorite fashion/beauty sites Refinery 29 and they have a lot of different posts about fashion and beauty and other things. I like it the most because there is a local section and so whatever they talk about i.e. best facials in the city or sales in the city, I can go locally and experience what they experienced!

A lot of the articles that have been written lately are ones about skin care-- how to go from winter to spring. This is one thing that I am always interested in reading because I love to see what new and different things are people doing out there to get flawless skin. One thing that I keep reading about is blackheads and how it is imperative to get rid of them so that they don't develop into whiteheads and start really messing up your face. So after reading this, I went straight to the local drugstore and started to look at what was available for blackhead removals. I saw a lot of cleansers but I still have my pore minimizing one from +olay so I didn't want another cleanser. I opted for the oldie but goodie pore strips. I saw that Biore had newer version of the old strip. This is the Biore Ultra Deep cleansing one which has ginseng and tea tree oil. So you you apply this just as you would apply the regular one, wet the area and smooth it on. Immediately you feel the tea tree oil cooling on your skin and you can actually feel it working. I personally use it right before I take a shower and leave it on so that the heat of the shower will open up my pores. After I get out of the shower, I let it dry until the pore strip gets really hard and then slowly, lift it off. Thats the trick, to slowly remove it. Once you remove it, you will see all the gunk that comes out. You feel so clean after. Wash your face with a scrub and then seal it with your night time moisturizer and you are good to go! 

I do this routine about 1 or 2 times a week and thats part of my skincare routine. This retails for about $5.99-6.99 which isn't that bad and you can find it in most drugstores. 

Do you have a special skin routine product that you can't live without? Comment below!!

Boscia Bright White Mask Review

Lately I've really been into skincare. I started realizing that it doesn't really matter how good my makeup is, if my skin looks like crap covering it up is going to just make it worse. I'm always into the brightening skincare products like I referenced in my prior blog with the facial wipes that I use and the Ponds cream. A few times a week, I like to use a face mask for different things, detoxifying or stress relief. This Boscia Bright White mask is for brightening. This mask is an advanced antiaging mask that brightens, hydrates and smooths the look of skin. Its suppose to even skin tone and also help the appearance of dark sports. Its also said that in 4 wks 81% skin appeared more radiant, 86% skin appeared moisturized and overall improvement in their skin. I use this mask every other week even though I should probably use it once a week. Its a peel mask which honestly, I'm not too much of a fan of but if you put a thick enough layer, it should be good peel off without being a pain in the butt. I've been using it for about 3 wks now and I do overall see my face brighter but not sure if its because of the mask alone. The best part of this mask is the way it smells. I love love love the smell. It smells florally and its just so intoxicating, that you are only suppose to have it on until it dries fully but I leave it on for about 30 mins. I love it and definitely seeing myself purchasing it again. It retails for $38 which is a lot, I know and its a +sephora exclusive so you can only find it online or in-store. I will be looking for dupes so stay tuned.
