I can't believe June is almost over😲. I have not posted any looks but I have been using makeup. 😍 I am absolutely loving ILIA Mini Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil Duo in Saint. It's so pigmented and looks like a professional MUA did my lips. ❤️ I much prefer it to Tower 28 Shineon Milky lip gloss. It feels great on the lips but barely any color. 😞 I finally tried the Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Power Hour and that is a hit! It's the cream blush that minimizes my pores the best and it is so easy to apply. I can use it as a pigmented lip balm and needs only one swirl of my finger to coat my lips. If I was going on a summer vacay, this would be my blush and lipstick::) I got this as a sample and will definitely be looking into this sustainable fragrance brand The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Eau de Parfum Spray It's sweet and gourmand which reminded me of a lighter version of Maison Margiela ’REPLICA’ By the Fireplace . I can't believe this has less than 10 ingredients as a parfum!❤️❤️❤️ Last but not least, is the outstanding blush that is PAT McGRATH LABS Skin Fetish: Divine Powder Blush in Paradise Venus! It really lives up to it's Skin Fetish name. Not powdery at all and looks as creamy as a cream blush. I have been using it as a bronzer and blush on my medium skin tone. I LOVE multi purpose products!

Last of the Lisa E order arrived and these truly are lovely products! I will never ever go through one of the blushes 😆, just a dot is right! I really love the feel and finish of the highlighters. Such a subtle difference in colors. While the Crystal Nebula looks warmer in the bottle it appears cooler on my skin. Cosmic Rose gives a little more pinky warmth tho very similar almost on me. These feel amazing and not tacky one bit, drying down quickly. (I do wish she had one that is even cooler so maybe she will for fall/winter. 😊) Mountain Walk blush is my favorite I think , perfect flush and if used very lightly seems almost similar to Pink Poetry on my skin tone, so I probably did not “need” that one 😂. Pink Soap is unique tho probably not the best shade for me , but I can see why others love it. And Venetian Red is very soft , blurry watercolored look too. That will be nice this summer. I regretted buying so many but now that I see them I am glad, because of their differences! Oddly, Spirited Away may be my favorite lip which is usually never my shade of choice. I added it last minute and so glad. It seems to give some neutral brightness to my pale lip tone whereas my usual cooler tones in Rose Official and Painterly are very subdued and almost blah on me. I worried about that. I do wish her lip pics were a bit more true or else it’s my screen. They appeared so different in different shots but again different people obviously. Again I probably did not “need” Rose or Painterly but…for science. 🤓😊 They are definitely quite sheer. (The Myth and Blush gloss were back ups because I truly love her glosses even not being a gloss girl.) All in all, another great creation from LE! @blackkitty2014 note Crystal Nebula. @niki172 this may be that glow you are seeking along with your moisturizer besides our beloved Chanel! 🥰 SpoilerRose Official, Spirited Away, Painterly lip, Myth and Blush glossPink Poetry, Mountain Walk, Pink Soap, Venetian Red blush, side is Crystal Nebula, Cosmic Rose highlighterRose Official, Spirited Away, Painterly lip, Myth and Blush glossPink Poetry, Mountain Walk, Pink Soap, Venetian Red blush, side is Crystal Nebula, Cosmic Rose highlighter

@TraceyEB I have seen so much about the bath line in Instagram and it looks amazing. I can't fathom why I want the line especially since I don't care for the #5 fragrance! HAHA

Hello dear, yes it is legit! I was worried at 1st and it took forever to get the wiretransfer (not a check cuz im Canadian) but it finally did happen. It took a lot of calls and emails tho. Keep contacting HelloWorld and it will happen. I promise you, it's legit 😄

Found these today and the new TJ body butter smells like the SDJ Bum Bum cream

I have the Baume Shine complexion universal highlighter and Petal Bouche Matte. The Baume shine is small but mighty , not sticky nor glittery, dries down well and is creamy. Just healthy illuminating glow. The lip is definitely matte but not uncomfortable at all and the color is just… glorious?! Lol. It’s the best reimagined velvety rose. A bit tricky to apply as it goes on quickly and spreads but it’s manageable once you work with it. I would love to see the applicator a bit smaller and controlled but oh man the color is breathtaking! Waiting to receive the Betise Bisou Balm, just out yesterday. I know @eshoe has tried the Boum-Boum Milk and likes it, did you also get the fragrance? Love to hear any of your thoughts. @itsfi did you try anything yet? 🌹

@ellielop I think advice depends on so many factors. If he's lonely and wants to start looking it would help to assess what he is comfortable with, what he likes to do, and what kind of relationship he is looking for. Some people are more forward and others more reserved. Some people are comfortable meeting new people in a crowd in an organic manner while others prefer something more intentional or are amenable to a little match making. Some people are looking for something very heteronormative while others prefer something different. The answers will determine where and how he should try looking. The benefit to meeting people more organically, say in a bar, activity group, or crowd, is that it's easier to tell who you click with and you can do it in a lower stakes setting. But you have to be the kind of person comfortable approaching and talking to strangers and have the ability to be positive, courteous and respectful of boundaries when rejected, especially as men are still expected to take the initiative in approaching and being rejected. Online searching is definitely more convenient and rejection has less of a sting when it's not face to face. Having said that, it's more work up front and you can invest all this effort only to find out when you meet in person there's zero chemistry. Also, I think it's really tempting to screen out people online using details that wouldn't matter if you clicked in person and experienced a natural attraction. Good luck to your dad 🙂

@RavenR Thanks for the update! Hard to tell what's going on with this line

You make a good point there - I know I really appreciated the thread and checked in often but I now realize that I kind of took it for granted and didn’t consider the work involved in managing the thread, so a belated Thank you from me and please accept my apologies for not being interactive or sharing they sooner. I was a bit surprised that nobody else was posting deals in the comments as crowdsourcing might take some pressure off too. once again thank you and best wishes for a fab summer
