Sephora

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Badgal voluminizing mascara from Benefit. I’ve tried almost every mascara out there and nothing lengthens and voluminizes without clumping the way this one does. Just one coat is super natural and makes you look like you were born with the prettiest lashes. You can apply two or three coats and really pump it up if you want drama.

No, @itsfi, I did not. I am on a no-buy for the first half of the year. I thought I would challenge myself after failing miserably last year. But it’s something I may pick up,lunar some point, after noting others’ thoughts here!

  just the better parts of my boxycharm pop up haul. I’m happy the Natasha denona palettes were in the new packaging, not old. I picked up 3 blushes, 2 of the 5 pans, and then one old November boxycharm box with another 5 palette which is called “peak” and was a boxycharm exclusive. Pretty happy with my haul. Everything pictured here was under $100, including the farmacy toner and Korres body butter.

@Crumblecakez I just got confirmation from Gucci that Gucci Envy Me has been discontinued. I owned it years ago and liked it very much. I finally decided to buy another bottle, and now it's gone. 😞 There are so few fragrances that I truly enjoy enough to buy a full size bottle, so I'm very disappointed.

Lawless Lip Plumper- Final thoughts: I really like this. After a few days of testing the initial stinging for me has lessened. It more or less tingles with a slight sting now. It lasts over a half hour before it gets tacky on me. I don't like the large air bubbles in the package though. I also noticed zero plumping action.Saie Skin Glow- As mentioned before it's too much for me to use if I'm going somewhere right from the start. After it sits on my skin for 12 or more hours I really really like the glow that leaves. This photo is from over 12 hours after application. Those two items are hands down my favorites. Tomorrow I'll test the blush and my final thoughts on the highlighter.

@Mcakes @ZombieMetroAnt @@Thank you both for hosting this and the very thoughtful note and gifts!

Oh goodness, that's a lot. I guess I messed up then considering I just bought lots of stuff from the ordinary brand. I got the AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution so I guess I'll return that. I got the granactive retinoid 2% emulsion, the ascorbic acid 8% + alpha arbutin 2%, and then the hyaluronic acid 2% plus B5. So, do you think I need to return all of it? I have used hyaluronic acid in the past and it doesn't upset my face unless I don't use enough water, but all of these other things are very new to me I have never used them and I can't test any of them right now because my face is in an uproar from having an allergic reaction to aquaphor healing ointment out of all the things. I will definitely buy the Cerave hydrating cleanser you recommended though and as well as the SPF! Thank you so much for all the help though before I ruined my face

@itsfi Fragrance samples are one thing I can never part with - and I never even use mine!

Thanks! I have got to swatch my colors and mark how many coats I like on the back so I can stop having one hand come out better than another lol

@Titian06 you are welcome. I am always looking for classes so I post as soon as I find them.
