@ShannonAlexis as you know, i adore the PTR cucumber mask. it is a very very close second to my PTR rose mask. i used the cucumber mask this morning after doing a gentle peel followed with a clay mask, and i just could feeeel my skin drinking it up and, in a sense, 'relaxing'. i think everyone should have the cucumber mask in their arsenal, definitely.

With all the mentions of Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks I feel like I need to go pick some up. I've never tried anything from that line although I did have my eye on the Filmstar Bronze and Glow palette for a bit! 😄

@MariekeBT You really should give some CT items a try! They're very good and the packaging is also beautiful. It's like being transported into her world where everyone is old Hollywood glamorous and a "darling"

[MariekeBT]

I think I'll do my current basics for now because I'm sure they change over time! 😄 

1. ABH NG Highlighter Palette (I know a lot of people didn't like it because it was very glittery, but I absolutely LOVE it personally)

2. KVD Bow N Arrow (this is the perfect MLBB for me) 

3. Dr. Brandt Pores no more Primer (this is the only primer that really helps control my oil that I've found so far, I can't go without it!)

4. Tartlette in Bloom (this was a hard one, but I love this palette. it has neutrals AND shimmers and really got my to experiment with mattes mroe)

5. Burberry Cat Lashes (This really makes my eyelashes look curled even though I don't use an eyelash curler. It also stays on all day and doesn't flake on me)

6. Missha Intensive Treatment Essence (I think this is the name, this changed my skincare game SO much, I absolutely love it, I think it really helped me with my oiliness)

7. Nest Citrine Rollerball (I haven't tried the bottle version, but I love this rollerball, it lasts so long on me and just smells amazing, Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming is a second)

8. Cinema Secrets Setting Powder (this setting powder is amazing! I kind of like it more than the Laura Mercier although I love that one a lot, I wish more people loved it!)

[TKLJ]

I want to love KVD Bow n Arrow so badly, but sadly it's just "my lips but exactly the same" on me. I'm still so drawn to it; I swatch it every time I'm in a store. 😄

[MariekeBT]

@TKLJ, I just went and bought the liner in store! Maybe it'll work more functional as a liner for you than a liquid lipstick? 🙂

Graphic Bronze! I remember you were wearing that in one of your recent WAYWT photos. It's so beautiful and I think I have only worn mine once so far! 😮

[jemly]

@fatimamummy i think the NARS tinted moisturizer is extraordinary. if i had a better match to my skin i think it would be my all time fave too !

[fatimamummy]

It is indeed extraordinarily @jemly I have found a great match in it luckily so no going back for me.

[NotCrocker]

1. Chrissy Teigen X Becca - Hibiscus Bloom is bright and lovely
2. My go-to is Hourglass in Fresco
3. Don't really wear any. Trying out a vitamin C serum to make my existing base (skin...) even
4. KVD MetalMatte palette is my current go-to, but I am still working through all the variations to find my fave combo
5. Guerlain Maxilash
6. Clinique Exfoliating scrub is my jam for always
7. Acqua di Gioia
8. Got a lash lift a while ago and it is my favourite thing. Not having to curl my long, unruly lashes has been a saviour!
