Ooh, I think you'd get a kick out of it @Sunnysmom .  However, if the store nearest you aren't really stocked, it can be frustrating based on other experiences I've read/heard.  I've have nothing but positive experiences though, and I kind of love the idea of me makeup goodies hand delivered to my door

@danielledanielle  Hope Curvy works well for you! And yeah, I had the same expectation of NARS Orgasm Rush until I swatched it in-store and saw how red it is—which isn’t a bad thing, just not what I’d hoped for. Still, that might end up being the “bolder than Orgasm Edge” shade I pick up to test the blush reformulation. Let me know what you think of it after you’ve used it.

Great hauls @danielledanielle.

This is an epic last sale haul, @danielledanielle!

Great (and relieved) to hear your order found its way home @danielledanielle, complete with a pit stop in Vegas, of all places. That Wicked brush is so cute! I picked one up as a gift affter you mentioned it. Love the berry shade of the Cay Skin balm; I'm still debating whether to pick up the newest shade - do I need another balm? Not really, but I like the formula and I would be keeping the family together if I got that last shade ... we shall see what comes after a little purchasing pause. I've heard the lip mask is good too. 🤔 

I would love to hear your thoughts on the Sulwhasoo mask. I like their serum and have used the older version.  

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi, I tried it before, it didn't really plump my face, but it was softer.  It was also refreshing, when I first tried it, it was winter and so cold that the mask stayed cold 🥶.  I'm gonna put these in the fridge just to relive that 😄

[Cissy63]

@danielledanielle  Oh so many wonderful products! I am reading so many good reviews on the Too Faced bronzer stick 😍. Enjoy!

[danielledanielle]

@Cissy63, good to know.  I'm still playing with it, it goes a little orange on me, not bad, just not what I was expecting.  Smells delicious, as expected

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle you're such a haul queen! Ugh that O/S x Wicked brush is killing me!

[danielledanielle]

Thank you fellow Haul Queen 👑 @makeitup305 

It's ridiculously cute and not a bad blending brush if I do say so

[jaaayp]

You always get the stuff I'm eyeing! The funky things that I teether on whether I should get @danielledanielle !!! I would love to know your thoughts on Freck Beauty Cactus Water Cleansing Lactic Acid Toner 6.5 oz/ 192 mL !!!!

[danielledanielle]

@jaaayp, we're all just one big beauty mindhive I tell ya

Freck Beauty Cactus Water Cleansing Lactic Acid Toner 6.5 oz/ 192 mLis great.  It's a replacement IMO for Son & Park's Beauty water, which I love and still get elsewhere (is it real ..I do not know).  It's a light toner.  I also use it a a refresher if I'm reapplying makeup or cleanser in the mornings when I didn't really have a heavy day before.  It tingles, but I like that, some people noted a sensitivity in reviews here.  The top on the bottle can really be difficult to open, so I don't screw it shut completely... If you are it on securely, it takes brute force to get it off and it's a glass bottle.  The lactic acid did give me some mild brightening, but that's tapered off now.

[jaaayp]

Is it for brightening @danielledanielle? 🤔 I don't mind the tingling.. also I don't have sensitive skin so I may not even feel the tingling LOL I'm looking for something for dark spots.... yay or nay? 🤔🤔🤔

[danielledanielle]

No @jaaayp , but it fits with the products claims of improving appearance and radiance, which is what lactic acid does as an exfoliant.  It might help with dark spots.  I had good luck with Hyper Skin Gentle Brightening Gel Cleanser with Mandelic Acid 5 oz / 150 mL with my dark spots in combo with their serum.

[jaaayp]

Just to confirm... dark spots AKA acne scars @danielledanielle ? In case we talking about different things LOL have you tried EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum with Niacinamide and Vitamin C 1 oz/ 30 mL ? Because I tried recently and worked well for me... deciding if I wanna buy the full size 🤔 unless... this Hyper Skin Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL is better?!?!?

[danielledanielle]

Oooh, I want to @jaaayp , but I get angry cysts when vitamin C or salicylic acid is too high in a product. And a sometimes fragrance, but I can't tell which one yet. Most companies don't include the percentage, so when I don't react, I assume it's low, so Hyper Skin Brightening Dark Spot Vitamin C Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL is safe for me.

Since EADEM Milk Marvel Dark Spot Serum with Niacinamide and Vitamin C 1 oz/ 30 mL worked well, stick with it.  Niacinamide has brightening properties as well.

[jaaayp]

@danielledanielle oooh sensitive skin, I see 👀 they really should start disclosing the % of certain ingredients... unless.. that's their secret formula?!? (I mean they're doing it for retinol already) 

The eadem has been sitting in my cart since the sale... I'm working through TULA Skincare Brightening Treatment Drops Triple Vitamin C Serum 1 oz / 30 ml and then I have the iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Green Machine Vitamin C Dark Spot & Hyperpigmentation Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL on deck after... sigh. First world problems 🫠

[sister13]

Oh yay! Such great picks! The DM is a great eyeliner and I can’t wait to hear how you like the Water Powder Serum, I need to test it more but it seems great so far! Also, I’ve been loving LYS Beauty Higher Standard Cream Glow Blush Sticks Curvy so much, I thought it would be too orangey but it’s so pretty with an amazing glowy finish. Enjoy! @danielledanielle 

[danielledanielle]

@sister13, yes I've been enjoying the water serum as a primer.  I love the dispenser and how smooth it applies.

You were also an enabler inspo for the LYS Beauty Higher Standard Cream Glow Blush Sticks 😄😉
