Sephora

@PrettyPaint, with the weather changes, this cozy blanket for my face worn while bundled up in a cozy blanket for the body was a perfect pairing! ♥️

I too purchased Grandelash and was so disappointed. I have been in it for 5 months and there is so minimal change. I use to use revitalash and is use to work great. I am actually going to buy this again. It is showing that Sephora carries it but they do not just like another person said very strange that they would do that. So just wanted to let you know grandlash did not work at all for me your not alone.

I've had good luck with Nars Pore and Shine Control primer (ordering it again about the 4th time - but it sometimes pills under certain foundations). I also have large pores so it's a trade off; silicone pore-filling primers look great for an hour or two then encourage foundation to dissolve once the oil shines through. I get oily about 1.5 hrs after foundation (with setting spray and powder). I have Becca too and it works but it also shows through sheer to med foundation and if you have to blot, it's a hot mess. I also have to use a beauty blender to apply foundation because brush won't smooth foundation over Becca. It was fine when I was using Lancome Tient de Idole - but not with my Armani Silk Luminous and Sephora Best Skin Ever. I haven't tried Estee, Tacha or Fenty. Post back if those work. Ones I've tried and don't like- Tarte clean slate poreless (pills under foundation)- Milk Hydro grip - helps foundation last longer but doesn't help oil control and is sticky, so blotting was an issue - but if I didn't have to blot, was impressed how it held foundation- Hourglass Mineral Veil - didn't do a thing-Too Faced Hangover replenishing - didn't do a thing-all the Smashbox, didn't do a thing-all Makeup Forever - didn't do a thing-Sephora Beauty Amplifier - didn't do a thing-Stila One step correct; I like it at first but then my Shiseido foundation that I used it with was as discontinued.-Laura Mercier (forget which one) same as above The pore filling ones that are all similar - they all dissolve with oily skin - they are great without foundation; :- Bite Beauty Skin Optimizing Primer- Benefit Porefessional - Bobbie Brown Primer Plus Matifier - Beauty Blender- Dr Brandt Pores No More- UD illuminating primer - my go to until it was discontinued - I had the best luck with blotting and it not looking like a hot mess with it. I'm trying Rare Beauty with the foundation too and reordering NARS before it's gets discontinued. I use points to try primer if offered because it's so hit and miss.

Blue Mercury online and in stores. These sets are always worth it and sell out quickly!

Stop the presses! First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser has been re-formulated. I can't believe it! It's such a popular cleanser. Here are the old ingredients:Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Allantoin, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Pca, Coco-Glucoside, Glyceryl Oleate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Lecithin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Maltodextrin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, EDTA. Here are the new ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Hydrogenated Coconut Acid, Sodium Isethionate, Stearyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Sodium PCA, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Coco-Glucoside, Glyceryl Oleate, Sodium Chloride, Allantoin, Sodium Phytate, Chrysanthemum Parthenium (Feverfew) Extract, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Maltodextrin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Tocopherol, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Tetrasodium EDTA. The packaging is different, too. It's similar, but I noticed the differences right away. I've only tried it once since receiving the new one today. The smells is much more "soapy." To me, it's reminiscent of Ivory soap. I also found that it lingered. The texture seemed similar when I squeezed some out, but once I rubbed it between my palms I could discern a difference. The lather seemed a little thinner. Also, this isn't a foaming cleanser, but it does foam a little in that it gets some bubbles here and there during the lather. I found the new one was foamier. I guess the cleansing was OK. I did have some oil on my face and it seemed to break through it well enough. I can't say for sure how my skin has reacted to it with only one use. I'm also curious how well this will remove makeup. I thought that the old one was pretty good, as long as you had realistic expectations. I'd hate to see the new one fail in that department. I'm curious to hear other's reactions. I never considered this would change. I thought it was such a staple. I don't know of anything else like it.

Definitely need a clean-up brush, Q-tips are way to thick and leave fuzzies. I tried Elf and NYX, they dissolved in a few manis. I bought one of amazon (it was $10) but I've had it for 2 yrs now. Eventually they get dry on the ends from the acetone. I use straight up 100% acetone and not nail polish remover. Blot the clean up brush on a paper towel or you'll end up having the acetone dissolve the polish and it will run into your cuticles and sides, esp with a shimmer or holo :-).

Ty @Loretta55 , was glad to get it, too!

@eshoe Thank you for the suggestion ❤️
