@itsfi Amazing progress! It's been fun watching how fast that WA goes!

For the month of December, I want to try my hand at facial massage. There are a host of products out there for that, including gua sha, face rollers, etc. - all at varying price point. Most things I've read have called for one of those tools and a face oil I wanted to try something a little more budget friendly tool - my knuckles. I'm also opting to do it with my current cleanser as part of my second cleanse step of my evening skincare routine. I've given this technique a try a few times last month and for December, I'll aim to do it 2-3 tmes per week as part of my evening skincare routine. Will give an update on that in a future post to the Habit Stacking Thread 📚. My second cleanse is typically a water based cleanser but I've recently just been using one cleanser for both steps - Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover, a favorite of the lovely @caitbird. While it is not a face oil per se, it is oil based and gives me the slip I need for doing this facial massage. Also, Charlotte Cho, the founder of Then I Met You did a YouTube video with James Welsh where she mentions using this cleansing balm for a facial massage. Tools: Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover and my knuckles Other Resources: I follow Face Yoga Studio on YouTube when I do this - there's an 11 minute video titled "Using Your Knuckles to Massage Your Face and Boost Collagen. Reverse your age!" that I've found easy to follow along with. I watched it a few times before actually putting it into practice so that I would be more familiar with the movements.

@danielledanielle The baddie vibes this look is giving! I’m totally here for this! You look amazing! 🤩

Thank you @CorgiMommy 🙂

@curlychiquita I don't think I ever saw anyone post about lovelyskin. I've shopped with them and thought they were good.

@makeitup305 agreed!!!

Thank you for the tag @itsfi -You cracked me up with "a red for grown-ups." I really do think the Armani looks great on you, but I completely understand if you feel like it's a bit too bold. -The CT blossom red is lovely on you, and I think my very favorite might be the Florasis Burgundy Berries. I've never purchased anything from them before, but that's a lovely shade!

I love your pictures, @gonerogue! I’m glad you had a great trip even with the hot weather. Having my hair in a bun all day bothers my scalp, too.

@lilymoonly i know the others said the rare beauty blush and i love it so much but it is reallyyyy pigmented and might not be suitable for extremely pale/fair skin. if you do get it i would recommend getting the mini version since it literally never runs out lol. make sure to use a very (very) little amount since a little goes a long way. i would also suggest maybe trying the benefit benetint as it's layerable and you can adjust the pigment of it according to your skin tone. hoped the helped 🤍
