@cupcakegirlxoxo Now I’m curious: what’s the marshmallow cream? Oh wait, do you mean Fenty Skin Butta Drop Refill Whipped Oil Body Cream with Tropical Oils + Shea Butter "Toasted Marshmallow"? I haven’t tried it (or any other variety of Butta Drop), but the ingredients look promising—especially if your skin loves shea butter as a moisturizer. Hopefully someone who’s used it can chime in. Good tip on the other item. Fenty sometimes has good sales direct at their site, so it’ll be interesting to see what their November sale looks like this year.

Dior: I mean, I had to get my welcome gift anyway so why not add a few lipsticks. Psh, “lipstick low buy,” what the heck is that. 😄DIOR Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Sequin Lipstick shades Stars and Sensation - @danielledanielle and I think @itsfi were curious about Stars. I’ve got feedback and plenty of lip swatches for you and anyone else who’s curious: SpoilerFirst off, these are liquid mattes, just like the regular non-Sequin shades. If your lips are as fussy as mine are about liquid matte dryness, you’ll want both a good lip balm (Aquaphor Ointment for me) plus maybe a non-drying lip primer for extra cushioning. In my photos below, I’m just wearing Aquaphor underneath Stars. Also, I didn’t use a lip liner (my choice would be PAT McGRATH LABS Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Deep Void) so my outline’s kinda messy. I usually use liner with liquid mattes so I don’t have to worry about rushing to clean up any mistakes, given how quickly these dry down. Here’s 2 coats of Stars during Dior’s recommended 5-minute dry down: L: high res rear camera (on phone). R: lower res front camera. The messy outline annoys me each time I see these photos. 😄After 5 minutes, Dior says press your lips together to bring out all the glitter. Here’s how that looks: Bottom is a low res front camera shot; I was trying to catch more of the glitter, because the 3 high res photos don’t do Stars justice in the sparkle department. Wish I’d swatched this during daylight hours.Even with a thin Aquaphor base, my lips are wishing I’d added a primer before lipstick. This isn’t the driest liquid matte formula I’ve ever used (that dishonor still goes to either ABH or Lime Crime; let’s call that a tie), but it’s drier than a NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment. It doesn’t feel gritty despite all the glitter. Next time I wear it (or first time I wear my other shade, Sensation) though, I’ll definitely use more Aquaphor and my trusty MAC lip primer. Stars’ deep purple color is transfer-proof, but its pink glitter is not. At all. Your lips will fairydust everything they touch. I didn’t notice any fragrance or scent during application or wear. In my photos, you can see where the color sheered out a bit after I pressed my lips together, particularly on my bottom lip. I’m surprisingly not mad about that… I kinda like how that looks. But if you want full purple opacity, I recommend applying it over a full lip base of dark lip liner. Speaking of layering, Stars does pretty well under lip gloss. Here it is under LH Cosmetics Infinity Glass (a clear, very lightweight, truly non-stick gloss): First off, these are liquid mattes, just like the regular non-Sequin shades.

Lemme live in denial for a few hours. DIOR Dior Addict Shine Lipstick shade Divine Plum - hmm, this seems sheerer than I expected. But I haven’t tried it on my lips yet. (Still wearing Stars right now.) Silver tier welcome gift + GWP - it’s not often I get a jigsaw puzzle in the mail. 😂 The GWP are #DIOR Diorshow Maximizer 4D Lash Primer-Serum for Length, Volume, Curl & Definition and 3 fragrances, including DIOR J'adore L'Or Eau de Parfum. Hand swatches of everything: Eh, maybe Divine Plum’s not really demi-sheer after all… we’ll see how it looks on my lips later today.Closer-up photo for sparkles.

What a beautiful bottle @itsfi . Will be fun to have a sniff!

It’ll be a great time to pick up some of the new stuff @blackkitty2014 ! Sooo many choices, ugh!! 😭🥰

@itsfi Ok so I have started a battle royal! Or a clash of the brows! So my lineup which I have all opened are:PATRICK TA Major Brow Lamination Gel 0.17 oz/ 5 mL MERIT Brow 1980 Volumizing Tinted Eyebrow Gel-Pomade LAWLESS Hold Up Soft Set Creamy Eyebrow Wax REFY Brow Sculpt Shape and Hold Gel with Lamination Effect 0.28 oz/ 8.5 mL NYX brow glue  I decided to do this over a bit of time and do a sort of march madness type thing. Or October Madness! So I have picked 2 contenders and I will try them out and really put them to the test over a week and the winner will go aside and I will pick 2 other and at the end I will battle the winners. This week I picked Lawless and NYX: I did use them over the last week and the winner of week one is: But first I will explain my likes and dislikes! Lawless: it applied well and held my brows in place. It didn’t leave any flakes or extras. It did work better on one brow over the other. But I think it was because it is longer. The colour matched well. NYX: applied well and held my brows in place all day. It didn’t leave any leave flakes at the end of the day which is why it didn’t win. So that leaves the winner of week 1 Lawless! next week I plan on duelling: PATRICK TA Major Brow Lamination Gel 0.17 oz/ 5 mL REFY Brow Sculpt Shape and Hold Gel with Lamination Effect 0.28 oz/ 8.5 mL Who will win!!!

My baby!!!!!!😋
