@keana1!!! You can post!!!! 👊🙌 Great to see you!! Oh, I hadn't thought of mixing the HA with an essence or toner. Good point. Making a note of that fabulous rec!

Hi! From my experience with what you described, if the pimple keeps coming back, there's definitely something trapped in the pore. I think Aha and Bha are key; chemical exfoliation then obviously physical exfoliation to remove the loosened cells. I'd try Dennis Gross Aha/bha wipes- the wipe's texture will losen and pull the dead remaining cells in that area off, cutting off the trapped debri or bacteria's "energy source," lol. Moisturizing is important too on an inflamed area like that- to try to prevent it from becoming so dried out that when you go to squeeze it you just peel off some skin. I used to love Aha/bha serums but the wipes I mentioned are a game changer. Totally prepares the pore for extraction.

Stunning @Sunnysmom, absolutely stunning! 😍 All your red lippies look spectacular! And the blushes, too! I've wondered about the colors of some of these beauties - thank you for the pretty swatches! 💖

@haleyvvvv Yay!!! You are going to have so much fun!

@JRachaelE I have dry skin and I really enjoy Herbivore Pink Cloud Rosewater + Squalane Makeup Removing Face Wash 3.38 oz/ 100 mL and Tata Harper Nourishing Makeup Removing Oil Cleanser 4.1 oz/ 125 mL . Pink Cloud is a super gentle, creamy jelly, slightly foaming, but not harsh in any way. It leaves my skin feeling super clean, but not stripped. Tata's Nourishing Oil cleanser is, well, oil. And it is a tad bit "nourishing". Very nice. My skin loves it. Cleansers won't really moisturize your skin. Balm cleansers maybe. I don't really like those, but if that is something you might be interested in trying, here are some that are really nice: Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm , CLINIQUE Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm 3.8 oz/ 125 mL , Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm 1.7 oz/ 50 mL ... and Mahalo Unveil is a dream!

@Ispend2much6 I know. It was so hard as the weeks went by since the time frame was suppose to be 4-6 weeks not almost 12 weeks wait.

@missjeanie Yay!! I got 2 blushes, 2 balms and the Fix+ which should be here tomorrow.

A sample of Tom Ford's Rose Prick found its way to me recently, and I've been testing it last few days. This might be the first TF fragrance I really like. I am really, really enjoying this. Which is a shocker to me. A rose! ( Not a fan, but something strange's been going on lately... ) It's a beautiful, warm, spicy, musky rose. There's even some wood later on. At first it is a blast of fresh, green, rose. Then spices emerge and take over pushing the rose to the background. After a while the whole thing turns musky, tad powdery ( not much ), softer, and a bit woody. With spices still going strong, and the constant rose in the background. Not dominant, but not quiet, either. I like the rollercoaster and how it is all mixed together so wonderfully. Simply beautiful! Kind of old fashioned rose made modern. It smells like both at the same, if that even make any sense. Whatever and in any case; it really speaks to me. So much so that I am thinking about getting me a travel size to properly test it and see if it warrants the full size bottle. Oh. Don't let the pink bottle fool you - this is not a super feminine scent. At least not on me. It leans almost masculine on me. And I love it!

These are my favs: (not all found at Sephora)lip scrub: the handmade heroes coconut sorbet lip scrub $10 on Amazon. lip masks: LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Original MILK MAKEUP Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask 0.28 oz/ 8 glip balm: Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Vanilla hope this helps!
