@wildkat95 @CookieGirl1  I haven’t tried them either.  I wonder if they’re more buttery oily or serumy… The curiosity gets to me which is why I keep buying lip products. 

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface @wildkat95 I've actually tried one and I think I'm in the minority but I don't really like them.  I prefer a slightly thicker balm because I have dry lips and I like my lip products to stick around for a bit.  The Summer Fridays formula is a little thinner and not quite hydrating enough for my personal preference.

How is this such a great sale when I’m only getting 10% off as an insider? That is a mediocre sale.. other brands offer 10% off all of the time. 

[Madilove07]

it’s because you ARE an insider. you barely need any points to be an insider so it’s not fair to them to give you such a great sale, when you’ve barely spent any money there. once you rack up your points, you’ll get better offers. you need 1000 points to be rogue, and i think 500 for VIB. anything below is an insider im pretty sure, which is less than $500, since you get 1 point for every dollar you spend.

In my basket:

Fenty Lipstick -The MVP

Olaplex Lash Serum

Marroccanoil Hand-lotion 

cant wait!

[heartsmyface]

@Steffit26  Oh I didn’t know olaplex had a lash serum.  Off now to investigate the ingredients:) 

[Steffit26]

its because it just cane out last Friday 

[Loretta55]

Please don’t buy Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick  version @Steffit26. It smeared badly on me.

[heartsmyface]

@Loretta55  Thanks:). That packaging reminds me of the old urban decay lip glosses. 

[ShayGemini]

I need to restock on my skincare…even though lately they’ve been out of stock of my Fenty Skin. I’m hearing Rare Beauty Lip Oil is 🔥 so I need try it out!! 💜 When I have said a thousand one times I don’t need anymore lippies. 😂 Oh well! Hell to LipsForeverEva!!! #fentyskin #rarebeauty #lipoil

[Loretta55]

I have the same problem @ShayGemini. I recommend Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating Oil . I find it more pigmented than Christian Dior which you did not mention.

[curlychiquita]

I have the Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating Oil Cherry on my wish list, @Loretta55! Still deciding on it for the sale only because I have so many items on my wish list.

[Loretta55]

I really like it @curlychiquita . If you decide to purchase it, I am sure that you will like it.

[heartsmyface]

@Loretta55  The clarins lip oils are awesome!  agreed they’re better tinters than the Dior.  (And they taste better too).

[UpRhyzen]

Can anyone recommend the best shampoo and conditioner for thin fine straight hair?

[SineR]

I love Ouai myself...they have a shampoo and conditioner for thin and medium hair. I use the detox shampoo and medium hair conditioner myself. 

[Artistamongus]

@UpRhyzen im in the thin & fine hair club with you. I’ve had great results with Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo 32 oz / 1 L  & Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner 32 oz / 1 L  I wash my hair every other day. 🙂 if you have points there’s a great sample set that lets you try all the products (that was my gateway) Good luck w/ your hair.  

[Titian06]

Hi, @UpRhyzen !  I love Verb Ghost Weightless Shampoo and Verb Ghost Weightless Conditioner for my fine, thin hair.  If you live near a Sephora or Sephora inside Kohl's, stop by for samples before the sale to see if you like the products. 💖💖💖
