Sephora

@MCSSavvy You are being sweet; no, it's not you, it's me. 🙂 Fixed it! Cult Beauty in the UK.

@lmaster you're inspiring me to buy cheaper makeup brushes, because when I first started buying at Sephora, I wasn't aware of cheaper options out there and was paying like $35 per brush and I had to custom order a brush cup holder. If I could go back in timeeee. I would've just bought a cheap brush set and made sure I cleaned it every single time I used it and not every 3 times. The foundation bristle stains won't come out no matter how many times I clean it now, because I didn't clean it much in the past when I first used it.

The Brightening CC serums are gorgeous @Sunnysmom! Expensive but gorgeous! I had a friend who used to work at the by Terry counter and I would not so discreetly suggest that a mini set of all the CC serums would be amazing!!! I need to find someone to relay that to again. 😆 Ohhh, I had not seen that LM highlighter. 😍 Pretty compact design. I used the last of my Nordies rewards (I picked up the Cle de Peau LE holiday lippie - your swatch of it did it for me!)

@klawbeauty @Welcome to BIC! Love GA luminous silk.

@SlimNShady It depends on your skin type/behavior and whether or not shea butter typically helps your skin. I've been testing The Inkey List's moisturizer all month and it works for me, but not as well as my former favorite (which I won't list because it contains fragrance). I've been alternating it with CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and I kinda think my skin likes the CeraVe better. If your skin's especially dry or you have very dry patches here and there, you can give your moisturizer a booster: Apply a thin layer of facial oil over or under the moisturizer. Just put a couple drops in your palm, rub your hands together, and gently press the oil wherever you need it. Not all oils are occlusive, but they do all provide a nice emollient feel and deliver some antioxidant benefits. Sunflower, argan, squalane, marula, and mineral oils are occlusive. A good cheap facial oil to try is e.l.f. Nourishing Facial Oil, a wonderful blend of beneficial plant oils with no yucky essential oils. Layer a petrolatum-based product over your moisturizer. I do this in the winter, and whenever I have very dry or irritated patches, with Aquaphor Ointment. If you're sensitive to lanolin, CeraVe Healing Ointment also works (its base is mineral oil). So will plain ol' Vaseline or another brand of petroleum jelly. @MCSSavvy 's Vanicream suggestion is also a good one! Oh, and don't be so quick to snub CeraVe. 🙂 All their products contain skin-loving ceramides, and their moisturizers contain pretty much everything your skin truly needs. In fact, I think mixing a couple drops of facial oil into CeraVe Moisturizing Cream will work perfectly for me this winter—and that combo will cost less than a jar of my former favorite moisturizer.

Oooooh, this one does smell amazing @lmaster! ♥️ It makes me think of this strawberry rhubarb cupcake that was a special offering from a cupcake truck near an old work site. 🍓🧁 I know, food is always close to my mind. Especially when it comes to masks, it seems. 😂 Eminence also makes a strawberry rhubarb exfoliating powder.

@GeorginaBT - Funny you mentioned that... I usually don't get dm's and it's been an ongoing issue for quite some time now. I did get a notification via email. It included a copy of the message so I read and replied to you via email - unfortunately that is the most reliable way for me to communicate privately. Thank you for reaching out to help!!!

@Nickelliebear1 Omg What We Do in the Shadows is an amazing movie. I've seen it so many times.

@greeneyedgirl107 I don’t have much on my list either but looking at this Olaplex set, I am thinking to finally try it. I only use No.3 somewhat regularly. Shampoo and conditioner I’m just not sure how many uses I can get out of these bottles as I have very long and thick hair. I think this set is a good value to test it all out.
