I would love to try Topicals Faded Serum for Dark Spots & Discoloration 1.7 oz/ 50 mL . I think this would be great to help with my acne scars. I’ve heard great review and would love to give it a try.

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil - sometimes my lips are okay with a synthetic form of menthol; it depends on what else is in the product and how it's formulated. But both shades of RB lip oil I tried (Joy and Affection) failed the comfort test: uncomfortably tingly/prickly and surprisingly drying. And that was over a very thin layer of Aquaphor Ointment (my daily lip balm). I did like the beautiful stain Joy left behind, but not at the cost of comfort. I tried again with a thicker base of Aquaphor to buffer discomfort and keep my lips moisturized. I figured the tradeoff would be getting no persistent stain when the lip oil wore off, and I was right. The stain is the main—maybe the only—reason I liked these lip oils, so there's no point keeping them if I have to give up the stain just to comfortably wear them since they're not long-wearing at all. This product was a huge disappointment. Obligatory disclaimer because I know someone will take it personally: SpoilerI know many (many) people love these lip oils. That's great for them! Yay for them! 👍 Pointing this out because when I negatively review a beloved product, I almost always get comments or messages from someone (and I'm not restricting that to BICers; this forum is not private, and threads are easily findable via Google and any other search engine) defending the product as if I'd just trashtalked their mother or something. Remember, we don't all like the same things and that's okay! Heck, some folks hate the overall performance of Glossier Cloud Paint which is my favorite cream blush, and I'm okay with that. It's a blush, not a family member or close friend. No one's jabbing at me personally when they negatively review Cloud Paint. Sheesh. Now, if Glossier's founder or current CEO does some bigoted, harmful, or blatantly dishonest/shady crap that goes uncorrected or unaddressed by the brand, then yeah, I'll lose respect and trust in the brand and possibly side-eye folks who still support them. When actual harm is caused, it's not "just makeup" anymore. I know many (many) people love these lip oils. That's great for them! Yay for them!

When actual harm is caused, it's not "just makeup" anymore. So anyway... how about a product I actually love other shades of? Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Voile Sheer Lipstick 213 Love is Better - this one's not so much a miss as an underwhelmer. The 2 other shades I own are not sheer on me. This shade is. It’s also too close, colorwise, to one of my Pat McGrath Lip Fetish balms. I should exchange it for a different shade, but I'm nervous about getting in TRE trouble since I've made other returns and exchanges this year. Sigh...

I really feel your pain on that one, been convinced into a false sense of security when picking up some of the most popular skincare brands' products too many times now! Interestingly - and quite luckily actually - when it comes to makeup, I have only suffered allergic reactions to all liquid formulas I put on my face by a brand called Juvia's place. I love their formulation textures but my skin gets red and has reactive breakout pimples pop up across my face. Luckily no other makeup brand has caused me issues like this, but I have decided that I will be sticking to my trusted Urban Decay foundation for the foreseeable future Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Foundation 92NN - I use shade 50cg that's no longer at Sephora, Armani Beauty Mini Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation 9 and the #bite beauty changemake foundation that is no longer in existence (sad).My worst skincare disasters have been from the brands that people have over-popularized as being the best dermatologist approved or formulated with dermatologist formulas. Unfortunately it's just a somewhat regulated cosmetic term that many brands that use a lot of essential oils, for example, can still use and there's a whole lot of reasons why unless a dermatologist is personally investing their own R&D and money into the products, it doesn't mean much to have labels that dermatologists worked with a brand or approved certain formulations.I have had success working on my partner's oily acne skin and getting him used to not treating his skin so harshly but using actives that will help him keep the acne more reduced consistently, so if you want to know some of those products that have worked best for that, do let me know.And I hope to update about that foundation Dr Rattan is in the process of formulating soon.

@gracefahlstedt I confess that I do it totally wrong - I tend to wear it as a quick and easy lip gloss in the morning if my lips feel dry, because I'm not consistent with my evening routine. That's if I'm not wearing makeup, mind you. On makeup days, I do a careful evening skincare routine.
