Feb. 8: Cute romance - Lancôme Idôle Eau de Parfum and sexy romance - Dior J'adore Eau de Parfum

Thank you so much for letting me know @danielledanielle. I had been checking online for a while last year and earlier this year. Did you pick up any of these glosses? I hope they make their way in store at some point - I’d really like to swatch a couple of the shades.

@arlenekim, this!!! Ughh! Allergy season really does a number on any makeup I wear on my eyes. 😔 I look forward to the weather warming up, but not for the allergies that come with it.

Now available in the US also - VDAYSCENTS

lol @Sunnysmom. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if a few of these things found their way to you. 😆

@niki172 No, but that can happen if you have an allergic or sensitivity reaction to something in the product. Could be a fragrance component or something else. I wish Chanel would go fragrance free with everything, personally, but especially their face products. I don’t use foundations with fragrance and even use their blushes sparingly for that reason.

Hi @Deezley ! A problem with many natural aluminum-free deodorants is all the essential oils and/or baking soda they contain, which can irritate sensitive skin. Do you know if your underarm skin’s sensitive to any essential perfuming oils in particular? Routine Baking Soda Free Blackberry Betty (full size glass jar version or the mini jar) is the only deodorant I can think of right now that contains no baking soda and might have an essential oil blend that’s easier for sensitive skin to tolerate: blackberry, raspberry, and vanilla oils. I used to use this and other Routine deodorants all the time. In fact, I still keep some mini jars in my purse/bag in case of emergency. (I use Vanicream’s antiperspirant each night after showering and don’t need to apply more in the morning, but on a very hot muggy day I might need a little extra non-stink insurance from Routine.) If you hate the idea of applying with your fingers, consider Routine’s stick form of Blackberry Betty. Note that the stick version contains baking soda; don’t know if you’re sensitive to that. Might also wanna look at their other scents in jars and sticks. They sell mini jar kits that are a good way to try several scents. Oh, and Routine is based in Canada. If you're in the US like me, their site will display prices in USD. I think Routine also still sells via Amazon.

The new Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wands finally made an appearance:

Hi @StaciaAnna ! If your lips are damaged (sounds like they are), you should focus on healing that skin rather than exfoliating, which can worsen the problem. I recommend applying a good petrolatum-based lip balm to damp (with water, not saliva) lips to protect and promote lip healing. When your lips start looking smoother, then you can add a lip scrub to your routine—and keep it to maybe once ever one or two weeks, because lip skin is very thin. I exfoliate my lips just once or twice a month. You can also try using a lip oil to help your lips look and feel smoother. A cruelty-free lip scrub I like is ColourPop Lippie Scrub. It usually comes in various scents and some of them sell out quickly.
