That Gucci blush is so soft, @Ispend2much6 . The mascara is unfortunately for the pocketbook lovely, too. The packaging and product are both stellar. Enjoy 😁

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  Thanks!  Then I'm very glad the mascara was a sample; those seem to last awhile (unless it's one of those tiny samples in a card.)

[eshoe]

Oooh I did not catch that, @Ispend2much6 - I requested the same sample and 🤞🏼 it is included!

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  Yay!!

@Ispend2much6 you're going to love that Gucci blush - it's so finely milled and pretty on the skin.

[Ispend2much6]

That's what I'm hoping for @niki172 - thank you!

[Cissy63]

@Ispend2much6  That’s a wonderful group of products!!

[Ispend2much6]

@Cissy63  Thank you so much!

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 you created a nice, curated order 🙂

[Ispend2much6]

@CookieGirl1  Is "curated" code for "expensive?" 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@Ispend2much6 maybe in this particular case they're synonymous terms 😂.  But well worth the splurge!

[faeriegirl]

Great choices @Ispend2much6! The LE packaging on the Givenchy powder looks great!

[Ispend2much6]

@faeriegirl  Thank you!  Now I HAVE to behave.

[quspork]

Great picks, @Ispend2much6! Those Gucci blushes seem to be a big hit this season! 

[Ispend2much6]

@quspork  They really are quite the hit; hoping that's a good sign.

Beautiful products, @Ispend2much6! 

[Ispend2much6]

@curlychiquita  Thank you!  I just had my hair done today, and my beautician used Kerastase Blond Absolu products on my hair.  Very, very nice!  She used a pro conditioning treatment, plus the shampoo and some spray.  My hair is soo soft right now, and frizz free.

[Saradestin]

Awesome choices @Ispend2much6 ! I can see the Community Favorite Gucci blush in there 😍

[Ispend2much6]

@Saradestin  Thank you!  This community knows their beauty products, so I knew it would be worth trying!
