Sephora

@heartsmyface, thank you! The RdF shade turned out better than I expected - that color family can lean too greige on me, but this one was okay. A splash of maraschino cherry juice? Making a note of that on my phone. That sounds yummy! 😋

@itsfi Thanks so much! I have no idea why it took me so long to acquire Nyx, I guess because I was anti light polishes for several years, but I'm happy I finally grabbed it! ✨💜

@PrettyPaint me too 😀

Beauty Breaks are rare on Fridays so I hadn't even thought to check for one...thanks to @greeneyedgirl107 for the heads up! Item 2608060  

@wisechhavi If by “breaking out” you mean acne: when retinol speeds up the creation of new skin cells, it can also push acne-causing gunk to the skin surface faster, resulting in sudden new acne. Most folks call this “purging.” It usually lasts no longer than a month; think of it as vitamin A evicting all that crud from your pores. Your retinol cream might’ve just caused a purge. About moisturizers: do you know what’s causing your redness? Do you use anything else in your routine (a serum, toner/essence, etc) to address redness? I have mostly-dry combo skin that’s quite reactive/inflammation-prone. I use a licorice root serum (It’s Skin has reformulated it for worse, so I can’t recommend it anymore and I’m using up my existing stash) and/or a centella asiatica serum (COSRX Pure Fit Cica Serum) to soothe redness. My usual PM moisturizers don’t specifically target redness, which is usually fine since I use other products for that. But when my skin’s very cranky red, I use an Aveeno fragrance-free body lotion on my face as a moisturizer because they contain colloidal oats: I like the Skin Relief lotion and the Eczema Therapy one for this. Oh, and COSRX Pure Fit Cica Cream Intense is a goodie if your skin likes centella asiatica.

@Loretta55 that's it, Lilah! Thank you.

@AznAngelLiz Your skin is glowing! You look so pretty 😀. Good job with decluttering!

@Samtian Isn't that too bad when something so wonderful gets discontinued?! Oh dear. Enjoy it 💖

Thank you @PrettyPaint! It’ll be interesting to see what shades Chanel will have for its tweed blushes this year, compared to past releases.
