Finally getting around to post my August goodies...

[lmaster]

Yes!! Great bunch of goodies @CookieGirl1 

[haleyvvvv]

Amazing hauls, @CookieGirl1!! Kush mascara is such a fave and that new DDG serum looks intriguing!! Enjoy your goodies!! 

[CookieGirl1]

@haleyvvvv I haven't tried the MILK MAKEUP KUSH High Volumizing Mascara 0.34 oz/ 10 mL before but I've heard mixed reviews; I'm happy to hear that it works for you!

[haleyvvvv]

I hope it works for you, @CookieGirl1!! It's definitely a little messy but I like the drama it gives my lashes.

@haleyvvvv Would love to see a pic of the dramatic lashes you get with the Kush mascara!

Left is one coat of the MILK MAKEUP Mini KUSH High Volumizing Mascara 0.13 oz/ 4 mL. I opened a new tube today so it's not as dry as I prefer. Right is no mascara.

@haleyvvvv Those ARE good results!  Thanks for posting ❤️

sooo lovely @CookieGirl1 ! let us know how the Dennis Gross retinol serum works for you (what is your skin type if I may enquire?) -- I've been eyeing it but it's new and rather pricey! that palette looks so pretty too 🙂

[CookieGirl1]

@thomasinaC I'm still working on a current retinol serum but I'll be trying this one soon.  I have normal-to-dry skin and usually my skin is very tolerant; while I've tried several retinol formulas I haven't found one that I felt really made a noticeable difference yet, so I'm hoping that maybe THIS one will be more promising!

[thomasinaC]

If you ever decide to go the Rx route Refissa is made for dry/mature skin — just be sure to hydrate. I’m in public now and don’t want to be Rx level peely & the ddg serum looks so enticing. I tried the one from the Ordinary but I felt it didn’t really agree with me so I use it on my body… & I’m currently going to trial a sample of the Shani Durden one. I’ll let you know how it goes! (I’m sensitive with dry skin & eczema so it’s always a burden to find that holy grail, sigh! Best of luck !

Great haul @CookieGirl1! That CT setting spray is the only one I've notice a significant difference with; hope you love it!

[CookieGirl1]

@SurprisedLemur I already know that I love it; I think that this is my 3rd bottle because I'm nearly done with my second 😂. 

[SurprisedLemur]

Hahaha yep, it's amazing 😂

Great hauls, @danielledanielle!! That PMG pen is so intriguing!! Enjoy your goodies!! 

[thomasinaC]

@danielledanielle amazing choices - also loving the nars! (PS - I use Toppik too ever since a chunk of my hair fell out during stress - it works pretty well if you add a texturizing spray first (Oribe is my fave), fluff up your hair and then kind of whack it on where needed (unless you're using it for bodifying like on set). The only problem is if someone tries to muss up your hair, eek! Do you have any preferred application strategies?

[danielledanielle]

@thomasinaC , ooh sorry to hear about the chunk of hair!

I use it just on my crown, where my hair has thinned out on the sides mainly.  I usually style, sprinkle, and then brush it with my edge comb to disperse it a little more evenly.  It usually stays okay, but yes, if someone comes into contact with you then it's a topping on them.
