💜 Tatcha Mini Dewy Skin Mist 0.4 oz/ 12 mL 

And I was soooo excited to see this brush from Danessa Myrics available in Canada. I heard about it from @danielledanielle on the The Danessa Myricks Beauty Thread 

I signed up for text notifications, and I got the notification it was in stock. 🎉 I'm so happy I was able to get one of her Kabuki brushes before it went OOS again. I grabbed it along with one of her new releases of the Lowlighters.

🤩Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Face 2.0 Teardrop Kabuki Complexion Brush 

🧡Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Lowlighter Soft Glow Highlighter Lowkey 

Spoiler

Swatching The Contour Stick Mini from WA.  My first thoughts were that it's very creamy and blendable. I tried it on the contours of my face as well, and I blended it in easily with my fingers. 😊 
This is shade Biscuit

And Danessa Myrics Lowlighter in shade Lowkey.

I think it's really beautiful 😍 

This brush has a velvety feel to me and the bristles are very dense. I'm excited to try it out with my skin tints and blurring balm powder too see if I can get the airbrush finish I've heard about. 
The brush comes with it's own little stand too. 😊

Excellent haul @CynthieLu ! WA biscuit is my favorite contour!

[Sunnysmom]

WA makes such lovely natural products @CynthieLu , I’m sure you’ll love it. It all looks good, especially the DM! Looks like a wonderful color for you! 

[curlychiquita]

Beautiful, @CynthieLu! The Danessa Myricks brush looks so fun and the blush color looks lovely.

@CynthieLu  Great haul! 

[SportyGirly125]

@CynthieLu @Amazing haul!

[CynthieLu]

Thank you! @SportyGirly125 🙏😊

[lmaster]

That is the best contour shade I swear! Great picks @CynthieLu 

[CynthieLu]

It's my first anything by WA @lmaster but I'm thrilled to hear you love it. So far I'm impressed by how well and easily it blends. Ease of use is very important to me. 😉

Congrats on the kabuki, @CynthieLu !  Have you tried it with the Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Lowlighter Soft Glow Highlighter , yet

[CynthieLu]

I've been trying it out with my Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Soothing Serum Skin Tint Foundation with Peptides + Ceramides 4 and Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder 2. They are such different products/formulas but it performs really well with them, especially the balm. @danielledanielle 🤩 

Did you pick out a brush set yet? I'm going to eagerly await anyone who gets them to share thier thoughts and pics of them. 😉

[danielledanielle]

I went with the face set @CynthieLu .  I originally wanted the starter and detail, but several of the brushes demo'ed on the TMT weren't in the starter set.  The only really appealing brush in the detail set was the angled eye liner, which I don't have, but then got a Bdellium one of off amazon.

The whole set with 40 brushes it pretty tempting, especially if you sign up and get the 20% off, bringing it down to about $9 USD per brush.

@CynthieLu  Oh how I love the Elasti-Cream!!! 💞

[CynthieLu]

Thank you! Oh me too @Southernchic99. I've had it in mini's before so I'm thrilled to have this big jar going into the summer. 😄 I kinda wanted the large LE Tub but it went O/S on the Canadian site before I could get my hands on it. 

What's your go to moisturizers going to be this summer? 

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  awesome hauls! Glad you were able to get the brush you wanted - it's beautiful! I hope it works well for you 💜 I think I want to get a contour stick to try experimenting with contouring more - is this the first one you've tried, or have you tried others?

[CynthieLu]

Thank you! @caitbird This is my first ever. Same! I wanted to try something new. I usually use random bronzers from my collection as makeshift contour or even eyeshadow. 😉 I saw this mini and thought it was a nice way to experiment and explore without breaking the bank. 

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu great haul!  Sol de Janeiro Mini Beija Flor™ Collagen-Boosting Elasti-Cream with Bio-Retinol and Squalane 2.5 oz/... is definitely my fav SDJ scent and I LOVE the Kérastase Mini Elixir Ultime Hydrating Hair Oil Serum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL .

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @CookieGirl1. 💕 I saw this serum get some love on the Monthly Favorites: April 2024 Edition! thread and couldn't resist trying it in a mini when I saw it was available. 😉 I wish more mini's were around out there, it's a lot easier to try new things without spending to much 💰💰 

How do you use the oil? I usually use hair oils after I wash my hair as a finishing step. But I'm open to trying new things. 😊

[CookieGirl1]

@CynthieLu I hope you love it!  I usually let my hair air dry for a bit and then finish it with a blow dryer so I like to dry my hair for a minute or two, add just a bit of the oil throughout my hair, and then finish drying it and it makes my hair so soft.

[CynthieLu]

Oooh thank you for sharing @CookieGirl1 I'm going to try that 😉

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu  so glad a favorite brand is now available for you.  Enjoy all your goodies
