@greeneyedgirl107, it’s a challenge not being able to search for your reviews. It would be great to be able to access them again; I know it’s being worked on. I try to keep track of products I review but some days are better than others.

Went to Kohl's + Sephora today, and so many testers were MIA!

When I out of sunscreen on my face and then concealer, and then later you look in a mirror and it’s peeling off! I hate this so muchhhhh!

[heartsmyface]

@GraysieJ This tends to happen when you’ve applied too thick a layer and the outer layer dries leaving the product underneath still moist.  Try thinner layers- especially with concealer in the mobile areas of your face where cracking and peeling is more likely to occur.

When I do my lashes last and the mascara gets all over my makeup and then I have to take 15 extra minutes to redo one part of my makeup.

@Jenna2024   Sucha pain.  Take a fine tipped makeup brush or a bullet brush and dip it in makeup remover and swirl the tip over the smudge.  Then use your beauty blender to bounce over the area you just tended to.  It can save you a lot of time.

@Jenna2024 the struggle is real

Went go to use my highlighter for the second time and it completely melted which is confusing because it’s always cold where I am. It’s still useable with brush but was just surprising to see. 😕

@peculiarzmakeup Awwww I hate this.  It doesn’t feel luxurious using a melted bullet.  I had a Dior lipstick that melted on me and I LOVED the colour.  It took months to get it looking decent again.

I got a Sephora brush set so I’ve been using that to apply, I also got the WA blush petal and the same thing happened. I thought it was the heat but I guess  they just melt for some reason in my experience. That’s tough with the lipstick, I’m glad it’s improved a little since then. 🫶❤️ @heartsmyface I appreciate your kind words and feedback 🙂

When my makeup gets cakey

[greeneyedgirl107]

I got a new Youth To The People Adaptogen Soothe + Hydrate Activated Mist with Peptides 4 oz/ 118 mL and the mist is too fine.  I switched out the nozzle with my old one, but I'm wondering if they permanently changed the nozzle.   Maybe I got a bum one?

@greeneyedgirl107  Funny: I thought the old spray pump produced a surprisingly fine mist for something that contains shea butter. (Not Glow Recipe watermelon mist fine, but nowhere near as splatterblob as I expected.) And YTTP felt a need to make the mist even finer? Sheesh, talk about brands “fixing” what ain’t broken. 🤦‍♀️

I’m glad you had an old bottle for a component swap. I can see YTTP changing some of their packaging components to improve their sustainability record. Next time I visit one of my local Sephoras, I’ll have to spray the tester of this facial mist out of curiosity—though I won’t know if the tester’s the old or new packaging, and this is enough dangerous curiosity to make me visit every Sephora store within city limits just to see how fine that mist is now. 😂 And see, this is how I drive myself a little nuts—must know, therefore must test—and end up spending more money because I don’t often leave a Sephora empty handed (too many temptations).

@WinglessOne Sephora field trip!

[peculiarzmakeup]

That sounds super frustrating, interesting that the old one isn’t working 🤔 it was good thinking to try though hope it gets resolved 🫶 @greeneyedgirl107 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@peculiarzmakeup thank you for the support.   My old nozzle did in fact work - maybe I wasn't clear in my post.  I don't mind swapping it out, as I save my used packaging for such circumstances.   However, I'm concerned in the back of my mind that the nozzle may conk out.  Or, that in the future all the nozzles may spray too fine.  This is a staple for me, so it's frustrating.

I CANT stand patchy makeup or makeup that doesn’t blend easily!!!!

[makeitup305]

@KileyRhys I feel you. If the blush picks up my foundation, immediate no.
