Thank you, @itsfi !  I just ordered one! 

[itsfi]

Am excited to hear your thoughts on it @tsavorite!

[Sunnysmom]

Wow @itsfi congrats on a very cool gratis from Rhode! Think I bought a set after you gave it high marks. 😊 

What do you think of the GXVE eye shimmer cream? I haven’t tried them. 

[itsfi]

I’m all set with skincare @Sunnysmom. Funny how that probably won’t stop me from looking at more skincare. Will try to keep it at just looking. 😂🤣😂 Oh, did you pick up the lip balms and skincare from Rhode? 

The GXVE eyeshadow surprised me; I didn’t know if it would work on my lids but they go on and wear really nicely. I have the shade GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Paint It Up Clean 24-Hr Cream Eyeshadow Midriff. It’s a cream to powder. Not too thick, not too thin. Not runny like some liquid eyeshadow. It takes about 20 seconds for it to set and once it does, it does not budge. Not sure about the 24-hour wear claim, but it’s held up well to a 10-15 hour workday. 👍🏼

I get it @itsfi ! Always on the hunt for an amazing new skincare miracle over here!! 😭🤣 I only got one of the lip balms and and the original duo skincare after you and others mentioned it!  I wasn’t sure if it would be enough for my dry skin but have been happily surprised. They’re both really moisturizing and also give a nice glow! Thank you bunches for the swatches! I was looking at Pogo. They look promising! 💞

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, the Rhode serum and moisturizer perform really well, alone & together. I know what you mean, I was a bit skeptical the moisturizer would be rich enough but it works beautifully. It’s got some great skincare ingredients. @ather is also a fan of the brand! 

Pogo is really pretty; it’s on my list to try next but I’m not sure when that will be. It should come as no surprise but I have “a few” other eye products I want to get through (and to just try out for the first time) before picking up more. 

[Sunnysmom]

Yes they both really have good ingredients @itsfi , color me impressed! Def @ather that helped in this as well! 🥰 Love that you guys have the pulse on new/innovating effective skincare! 🤗 More eye products?! No! 😆

[ather]

@Sunnysmom @itsfi  I agree! I love Rhode. Both. And the lip balm too. I have been living in BRC it’s a rich moisturizer but it doesn’t clog my pores or feel heavy. And Glaze is also an awesome serum!!

I really haven't purchased much makeup lately; my recent hauls have been centered around everything else, I guess.

[curlychiquita]

Everything looks great! I tend to buy my re skincare than makeup during the sales, too. @CookieGirl1 

[CookieGirl1]

@curlychiquita there were a few makeup-ish items that I seriously contemplated but I didn't want them enough, I guess.  I never want to talk myself into buying something just to buy it.

@CookieGirl1 Great haul!  I spy Leahlani mermaid mask.

[CookieGirl1]

@SportyGirly125 I blame @eshoe for getting me hooked on it in the first place and I got major fomo when I saw that you hauled it 😂.  It's genuinely one of the best masks I think I've ever used.

[eshoe]

@CookieGirl1 it just feels so soothing and the scent is amazing! A FS is next on my mask list to purchase, I just bought a FS Meli Glow from Leahlani and it is like applying a layer of fresh honey raspberry jam to my skin, yum! @SportyGirly125 

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe @Love the meli glow especially after I use honey love or the mermaid mask. 

[eshoe]

You mask in layers, @SportyGirly125? Now I know how to extend my skincare routine…anything to stretch it sounds good to me🙌🏼

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe I don’t always double mask but when I feel like my skin needs extra pampering. My skin thanks me the next day.  

[eshoe]

@SportyGirly125 I can understand why! The closest I get to double masking is using two different masks to target different areas of my face at the same time. Or using a wash-off and then a sheet mask. But sometimes I wish my skincare routine lasted longer, so I am going to employ your method once in awhile, for good measure 😉

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe @Let me know what you think once you tried it. 

[CookieGirl1]

@eshoe I keep telling myself that I need to finish some of the things that I have before I revisit and purchase more from Leahlani; her products look so nice and you and @SportyGirly125 definitely make me want to try more!

[eshoe]

@CookieGirl1 my Leahlani masks are my most favorite for when I need a little escape. I haven’t found the scents anywhere else and they are sooooo incredibly soothing without being stuffy. @SportyGirly125
