My skin is SO dry—like I’ve put on Vaseline and been dry again in less than an hour dry—so keep that in mind with my advice. If you want a super thick cream, plain old Vanicream is great, not expensive, can be found at places like Walgreen’s. The occlusive ingredient in it is petrolatum. I also have started using whipped grassfed tallow on my skin. If you’re not vegan it’s amazing. I buy from two ladies online, they have a very no frills website called Fannie and Flo. It can seem greasy at first but my skin soaks it up really well after a few minutes and I feel like consistent use has really improved my skin’s baseline level dryness. It is full of vitamins and minerals, and the lipid profile is one of the most compatible for human skin. At night I do the tallow with Vanicream on top and wake up feeling pretty good lately.

Someone on Reddit already got their mailer for 6/27 through 7/17. Nothing terribly exciting in there, but here is the upcoming Fragrance Crush: And here is Skinfatuation:

Hi @lenofnyc ! Have you ever tried a tinted balm or lip oil? Those are good options for a sheer wash of color, and some balms and lip oils are buildable to demi-sheer or medium coverage. My favorite tinted balms, PAT McGRATH LABS Lip Fetish Sheer Colour Balm Flesh 3, aren't sheer on my lips (on me, the Lip Fetish balms are very pigmented), but some folks do get sheer coverage from them. A less expensive option (and on sale right now) is fresh Sugar Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 15 . Cheaper still are SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lip Balm and SEPHORA COLLECTION Melting Lip Clicks Lip Balm . Or consider ILIA Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm or ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil Only You , There are plenty of other options to choose from at various price points. Or, you can apply any lipstick and then blot your lips on a tissue or the back of your hand to sheer out the color. If you're wondering what color to start with, well... that depends on your personal preference. 🙂 Neutral pinks, rosewood, and berries are the usual "can't go wrong" universal shades. "True/classic red" and various browns are solid neutrals. But then, some of us are completely comfy wearing lipsticks in shades of orange, purple, black, blue, or green, so... whatever shade grabs your attention is the one to try. I've already tagged some Sephora Lipstories products, but if you're up for trying a lipstick instead of a tinted balm, SEPHORA COLLECTION #LIPSTORIES Lipstick are a good way to experiment with various colors without spending a ton of money.

Hi @fairlyfreshy ! Many sunscreens can give you a dewy look all by themselves, as long as they're not marketed as "matte finish." If you like mineral sunscreens, consider Saie Sunvisor Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF 35 or any shade of Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 Sunscreen Six ; both of these give me a dewy finish. One of my favorite chemical sunscreens isn't sold at Sephora: OMI Verdio UV Moisture Essence SPF 50. It's a Japanese sunscreen you'll find at retailers like YesStyle and Stylevana. It leaves me more dewy than Saie's sunscreens; it gives more of a "glass skin" finish. Some sunscreens by La Roche Posay and CoTZ will also give a dewy finish. For serums, oils, and creams: that all depends on your skin type/behavior, skincare goals/issues, and the other products currently in your skincare routine. In fact, if you have a good skincare routine, your skin's in good shape, and you have no major goals/issues to address, then I say forget about adding these products for now. Just add a dewy/shiny sunscreen instead.

Thank you, @FullCoverageBB!! 😊

Totally understand.

Just give it a try, why not?

@PrettyPaint Great idea for a duel!! 🙌 Sorry to hear they caused some irritation! I'm glad to hear the tingling didn't turn into anything serious. 😅 I haven't tried any masks from this, mostly because I've heard they weren't anything to impressive. Great job getting through them!

@eshoe So glad we can redeem online now!
