@CookieGirl1 Did you try the MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush ? That had a pretty gorgeous finish as well as the Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Golden Hour .

[danielledanielle]

@lnum , I've tried the Merit, and its finish is lovely!  Dewy and buildable!  Not a huge fan of the rare beauty pinch blush, it's a lot of pigment in that blush and blending it out is work in my experience.

[lnum]

Thanks @danielledanielle . I guess we will see how they all work out on me. I haven’t worn makeup very much in the last year so I’m easing back in. 😅

[curlychiquita]

Fabulous list, @lnum! I have oily skin and I've used the Charlotte Tilbury foundation and I remember liking it, but I didn't buy it again and I don't remember why.

[lnum]

@curlychiquita Thank you for the feedback! I am going to give it a shot. I’ve wanted to try this CT foundation for awhile now. 

[jen81]

@lnum  Such a great list. I love the volition mask. The DDG eye serum is amazing and I love the FAB cream as well!

[lnum]

@jen81 I have heard great things about the DDG serum from many people so finally giving it a try. What do you like about the Volition mask? I hope it will be a replacement for my Glamglow supermud which I’ve grown tired of after so many years. 

[jen81]

@lnum  I love that it seems to detoxify. I have dry skin that feels oily at time in t zone. I can apply this all over and it feels like it dries up some excessive oil without drying my skin. Skin feels soft and hydrated. It’s the best of a clay mask without the sucked dry after effects. I didn’t like glam glow because it would dry me out too much.

[lnum]

Thank you @jen81 , this sounds like the perfect mask and exactly what I am looking for. 😊

[eshoe]

The Volition Beauty Detoxifying Silt Gelee Mask 2 oz/ 60 ml seems to be gentler than the Glamglow in my experience, @lnum. The Volition does not dry down as much, and it also has tiny exfoliating granules. 

[lnum]

Thanks @eshoe . That sounds right up my alley in that case because I find my normalish cheeks and dry neck don’t appreciate how much the Glamglow sucks the life out of them, 😅! I am currently using the LANCER Skincare Clarifying Detox Mask with Green Tea + 3% Sulfur 1.7 oz/ 50 mL but I don’t think it’s worth the price imho. I didn’t know about the exfoliating granules, I always find that a little strange in a mask that is not meant to be actively rubbed, but I’ll give it a try.

[eshoe]

@lnum They are small and sparse enough that you can easily rinse them without giving your skin a good rub. I am really not sure why they are necessary in it, either!

[powerglove]

I’ve had my cart ready for the past two weeks for the sale! I’m going for the dyson air wrap, some skincare favourites and some exciting new makeup products im looking to try. It will be a hefty bill but I hope everything will last me until the second sale in the fall! 

[quspork]

I hear you on hoping this haul can last us until the fall sale, @powerglove! What new makeup are you looking at for this haul?

[grneyedgrl27]

I am concentrating on skin care. Need suggestions on sunscreens that do not cause breakout or make my pores look huge. It is difficult to find a sunscreen without dimethicone, the probable cause of breakouts. 

[ivy3011]

elta MD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 - Tinted , it’s not waterproof. 
For waterproof and one I also love DRMTLGY Tinted Moisturizer Spf 46 Anti-aging. I know they aren’t Sephora but these go on so good and give such a beautiful glow. Drmtlgy has great coupon code sales. 

[clairemateo]

This sunscreen is not from Sephora but it’s the klairs soft airy UV essence spf 50. It has niacinamide and its a gel texture. It has not broke me out ever. It does not have the ingredient you don’t like (if that is the only word for that ingredient). I love it theirs no white-cast and seeps into my skin very quickly.

[SportyGirly125]

@grneyedgrl27 COOLA Full Spectrum 360° Sun Silk Drops Organic Sunscreen SPF 30 1 oz/ 30 mL COOLA Mineral Sun Silk Crème SPF 30 1.5 oz/ 44 mL Supergoop! Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30 PA+++ 1.5 oz/ 45 mL 

[LinaAlaqraa]

I want somethings for the pores and blackheads also dark around under eyes

[skincarequeen27]

For dark circles I recommend Saturday Skin Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream with Avocado 1.01 oz/ 30 mL it’s not crazy expensive, lightweight and if you stick to using it you will see results!

[NonaJab]

For the dark circles I would recommend the Tatcha pearl tinted eye illuminating treatment, it works like a concealer but it’s actually skincare that works towards treating it while also help brighten the eye area. You can use it instead of concealer and just set it with setting powder to last all day and look Matte, or just reapply it throughout the day if you want to keep the radiance. 😊
