@jaaayp I need to see if I’ve lightened up enough to at least use one of the shades for brightening. I went in the summer when I was darker and the shades just didn’t work for me. 🙃

I’ve been thinking about the pink blush a lot. I wish I could swatch it but it’s only available online. 

[ather]

This reminds me of @itsfi  she shared a picture of her wearing Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro  and it was my fav picture ever! It also is such a great mask! Thanks for enabling me 😍

[JoSometimes]

Since @heartsmyface is great at making demands requests, I would get her HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Optic Intensity Eco Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil Teal Matte in the hopes that she could teach me her ways! 🩵🩵🩵

Also SEPHORA COLLECTION Large Beauty Organizer to compliment her beautiful palette library and give her other beauty products an equally lovely home. 

[heartsmyface]

@JoSometimes  Awww thanks!!! 🥰🥰🥰. I have looked at those organizers multiple times and feel like I’d want like six to eight of them lined up all space pod style!  I do love thé look of them!  They’re so tempting!  
That teal liner is gorgeous!!!  Hahah, my ‘ways’ are to mess up and adjust until it looks good!  A little makeup remover on an eyeliner brush cleans up a lot of accidents;) 

[JoSometimes]

See @heartsmyface!? I just learned something from you again. Makeup remover on a brush. So smart!

A bunch of those in a row would look so cool!

[ather]

@JoSometimes  Awwww so sweet! @heartsmyface  is so encouraging! 

[JoSometimes]

@ather She really is the best!

[JoSometimes]

Tagging @Mellmars1185 in return. She’s amazing with MLBB lippie shades, so I was thinking Charlotte Tilbury Iconic Mini Lip Trio.

[Mellmars1185]

@JoSometimes Thank you for the thoughtful tag. If I got this as a gift it would definitely get used!! 💄💞

[JoSometimes]

@Mellmars1185 Thank you for thinking of me first!

[JoSometimes]

For @CynthieLu, I would back track to the first week’s challenge since were practically skincare twinsies. I was thinking something like Glow Recipe Fruit Babies Bestsellers Kit.

And then it would be a two-parter with this week’s challenge. I know she’s a big fan of Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation with Peptides + Ceramides 2, so I’d get her Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Best-Selling Blurring Buddies Set.

[CynthieLu]

You know me too be well 😜 @JoSometimes I love the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Best-Selling Blurring Buddies Set set and all things GR. 💖 I'd be thrilled by your gift! Thank you 🥰

I just got the Glow Recipe Avocado Ceramide Moisture Barrier Cleanser 5 oz / 150 mL to try for the first time and I'm very excited. I just have other face washes to finish first 😉

[JoSometimes]

I know the feeling @CynthieLu! The k-beauty cleansing balm I bought last week is still in the box because I have a little bit of my current one left. I can see the bottom of the pot but there’s still enough for a few days. 

[heartsmyface]

Ouhhhh fun!  

@Saradestin Urban Decay Space Cowboy Moondust Eyeshadow Palette  cause she’s the eyeshadow queen and these glitters would amp up her already spectacular looks for the holidays! 

@Mellmars1185 Fashion Fair Iconic Lipstick Nudeattude No one does a nude lip as well as our Mellmars and these lipsticks are soooo creamy and wonderful!   

@itsfi   Oribe Signature Style Hair Set   Cause this set contains an all time fav plus a few more irresistible goodies!  

@missjeanie  Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Sheet Masks 5 masks 0.63 oz / 18 g   cause we love masking and this one looks like a real treat!   

@CookieGirl1  Kosas Undressed Talc-Free Neutral Eyeshadow Palette   cause this is the perfect palette for a fair skinned and fair haired beauty who loves her neutrals!  

@ZombieMetroAnt Melt Cosmetics Melt Cosmetics x Disney Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Town Eyeshadow Palette   Cause Melts nightmare before Christmas set makes me think of no one else but our beautiful Zombie.  

[itsfi]

Ahhhh!!! I eyed that Oribe set @heartsmyface! 😍 You know I love me that Oribe texturizer; I remembered to pack the mini with me this trip. 🙌 It came in handy.

Oribe Mini Dry Texturizing Spray 2.2 oz/ 75mL 

[Saradestin]

Aaahh, thank you so much @heartsmyface ! 😘 I would be very happy with that eyeshadow palette 😄

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface Thanks for the tag! Thank you so much. That means a lot💞. I like your pick. I was actually checking out these lipsticks after I saw you post a look from the brand. Afterwards I saw a recommendation for this exact shade from a YouTuber I watch. I actually had it in my basket but didn't get it.

@JoSometimes Tower 28 Beauty It's a Mauve-ment Lip Gloss + Cream Blush Duo Set - I know you have been using their blush and spray. I am not sure if you have tried this shade yet?

[JoSometimes]

Aww thank you for thinking of me @Mellmars1185! I’m honoured we’re BIC besties. 😄🥰

That’s a really fun looking combo! I didn’t even know that one existed but it would certainly be fun to try!

[Sunnysmom]
