@mywellnessstudi You may want to check out a thread that @danielledanielle put together🏫🎓BIC University 🎓🏫 . She did a great job at breaking down different techniques and products for contouring!

@MaryyCH I don't believe Sephora has offered points in exchange for reviews, at least not that I've noticed. But the Beauty Insider Challenges do award points. When there's a new one showing, sign up for it and then complete the tasks within the challenge. The points tend to appear in my account within a day or so, if not right away.

I think subtle shades like Iris can be really versatile if you use them as highlighters or layer them over other colors to make them stand out more.

Thank you so much!! @SportyGirly125 😘

I tried not to buy things I could get for (or near) $0 OOP via Ulta points or Nordy Notes; those are my biggest stockpiles of reward cash. This rule didn’t keep me away from YSL’s sale, but it did keep that order small—and it stopped me from buying direct from various brands, vs. planning to order from Ulta or Nordy. Passed on MYKITCO’s flash sale on sale event: I didn’t wanna pay the $18+ shipping fee plus customs fee upon arrival. Luckily, the one thing I wanted most hit Beautylish over the weekend, so I got it at an even better discount plus free shipping. 👍

It was not all that long ago @Samtian when I was sheet masking twice a day because I was on a mission to use up all my sheet masks 😬, so if you want to go with 2 different eyeliners, have at it. 😆

That's super kind @Ispend2much6 , I'm a model in my head, that's about it 😂

Breakouts. They happen. 😩 I've been getting one, sometimes two, every month, it seems, for the last few months after a period of time of not experiencing any breakouts save one every 4 or 5 months. After last month's breakout, I went to find this Solawave Bye Acne: 3 Minute Blue + Red Light Acne Treatment and have been putting the handy, travel-friendly and easy-to-use gadget to use when I feel a pimple forming. I put it to use recently on a couple of pimples this month. Using this little do-hickey on each spot for a few minutes each for a few nights has been good - it doesn't hurt and some good results can be had, depending on how consistent you are with using it and the size and nature of the breakout. Consistent use, of course, plays a key role, but I also found this works best (and faster) on smaller or moderate sized zits, which makes sense, though I did see a reduction in redness with larger breakouts than I would otherwise experience if I didn't use this device on them. As for the two pimples I used the device on this month, one was zapped away before it could fully form - yesssss!!! The other one, a little bigger than the first, took a little more time, but the area didn't get as red or inflamed as my breakouts can get. TL;DR: Portable, quick (3 minutes per spot) and it doesn't hurt, and works fairly well when I feel a pimple forming. Good for reducing healing time for mild-to-moderate pimple and inflammation.
