@riiko  If you are looking for brushes, the SEPHORA COLLECTION Complete Brush Set  is great.  Sephora brushes are the bomb!!

[riiko]

Brushes sounds great! I won’t go bad and I can also give it as a gift! Thank you for your suggestion😍

[Buootiful]

Hi @riiko ! If you want something luxe, I would try the Armani Beauty Mini Lip Maestro Liquid Matte Lipstick Trio . You get to try 3 shades equal to one larger lipstick by itself. 😍 or, I see Urban Decay in your cart and Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Glossy Longwear Liquid Lipstick PDA  is a very good non-drying formula. It lasts as a stain all day drinking and talking, just retouch in the middle!

[riiko]

Both of them looks great! I watched review of the urban decay lip gloss, and people seems to like it! It would be a good time to try new things😍 thank you for your suggestions! 🙂

Beautiful classic shade  @carofl ! 

[danielledanielle]

Belif also does a great gift set, this year's has the sunscreen belif Glow-on-the-Go Holiday Travel Kit .

[ChooseDior]

I love belif moisturizer! Have you tried belif Aqua Bomb Brightening Vitamin C Cream with Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz/ 50 mL ? It's my fave from their line 

[danielledanielle]

@ChooseDior, I have, reminded me of aqua bomb texture wise, great pick but my skin doesn't always do well with vitamin C, so I stick with belif The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb 

[ChooseDior]

Oh ok got it, yeah vitamin c can get tricky 

[danielledanielle]

Eh, that's most skincare with sensitive skin.  But what didn't work for me can be someone else's HG.  I'm happy of you're a fan of the brand @ChooseDior . 

I do wish they'd bring back the aloe version 🥲, though

[ChooseDior]

I have a sephora problem 🙈 I hit another year of Rouge way earlier than I expected 😁 definately gonna get another DIOR 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow palette! Soft cashmere looks gorgeous!! Have the MERIT Great Skin Instant Glow Serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid 1.69 oz / 50 ml  in my cart as well. Gonna do a lot of restocking of my all time fave #Tatcha products as well. Open to suggestions! 

[Saradestin]

That eyeshadow palette looks amazing @ChooseDior ! 

[Buootiful]

Hahaha. Don't we all? To be Rouge through 2022, I think I hit it in March or April of 2021. 😜 

Also, if you use The Dewy Skin Cream, I would get the Tatcha Dewy Skin Essentials Set . It has a full size The Dewy Skin Cream plus 2 deluxe for the price of the moisturizer. @ChooseDior 

[ChooseDior]

Thanks for the tatcha suggestion! I'm kinda obsessed with the brand. My faves are the Tatcha The Texture Tonic AHA Liquid Exfoliating Treatment 5.07 oz/ 150 mL Tatcha The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser 

[BonitaErin]

Which of the DIOR 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow do you already own?
