@Chloe168 ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Clean Mascara After Midnight is the best I’ve tried.

Ooooo, kitties, @sister13 ! That had to be the highlight of your trip! 🤣

@makeitup305 Gorgeous look and photo!!

@Samtian I usually pick what fragrance I'm going to wear based on my mood/what sounds good at the time (based on looking up the notes/description if it's one I haven't tried yet), so it's helpful to me to be able to find a specific sample relatively easily.

@CorgiMommy according to Ethical Elephant (a cruelty-free resource site where I often check whether brands are CF or not), MM (and L'Oreal, their parent company) do not test their products on animals themselves but *do* allow their products to be tested on animals where required by law (i.e. in mainland China). So, not cruelty-free ☹️

@danielledanielle Good to know, and thanks for the feedback! When I swatched some shades of that new Hueguard Tint SPF 50 sunscreen, the one closest to my skin tone pulled noticeably too warm. I’m not surprised the shade you got leans a bit orange. Hope it does work better for your “summer” skin tone. 🙂 I know sunscreens are costly to develop and test, and some brands try to keep their shade ranges kinda narrow as a result—and the shades usually reflect brands’ assumption that everyone wants a “got some sun” tan/gold/bronze tone. Interesting that Live Tinted’s range of this sunscreen does include an olive undertone and 2 or 3 neutrals, but the only cool undertone is the lightest shade and none of the medium shades are neutral. 🙄 Then again, the medium shades might all end up being too ghostly on my face vs. my hand (like the original Hueguard SPF 30) so I dunno, I could end up needing one of the deeper shades if I was going to try this sunscreen. The SPF 30 contains almost double the zinc oxide as the SPF 50 (which is interesting; I also see a chemical sunscreen on the latter’s INCI list, and LT might also rely on titanium dioxide to reach that SPF 50 rating), so the SPF 50 might leave less of a white cast on my face. I don’t think I could get past the scent though… that’s one of the things that made me give up on ILIA’s sunscreen. /nerdy rambling
