@itsfi  I saw this and thought of you immediately. I am definitely into trying this one when it comes out. Hopefully it’s available in Canada 🇨🇦 

 

plus I’m pretty sure we talked about greasy donut skin 🍩 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi it's probably a sign that you need both 😉.  I won't be picking one up, at least not right away.  I think that they're cute and the colors are pretty but they aren't calling to me like some of the other blushes that have started popping up.

[itsfi]

Ha, I need to find out if these are refillable @CookieGirl1. If they are, then I'll definitely get one and if I like the formula, then maybe another at a later date. If they are not refillable, I will try to stick to just one for the time being. I have some other blushes I need to incorporate into my routine and these seem like they'll be around (absent the inevitable out of stock situation) so one should be fine. I have time to determine which one and that decision will probably be made the day they launch, but for now, the plan is for one blush stick. 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I hadn't even considered that they might be refillable but that would be nice.  I love it that more brands are starting to make refillable products!

These are stunning I love the shades! I’ve always wanted to try Rhode @itsfi  beautiful collection 🤩

[itsfi]

These shades are very pretty aren’t they @peculiarzmakeup?! Which color(s) would you go for? 

Ohhh, I’ve been very impressed with her skincare line. I can be fairly particular when it comes to skincare products but have been pleased with what she has put out. Her lip treatments - both the tinted and untinted ones are great. 👍🏼 I love her glazing serum and her newest addition, the cleanser, makes for a good second cleanse. 

@ather is a huge fan of Rhode Beauty so she’ll have some good insights to share. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Yes! I agree!! I’m so picky with skincare also and I’m sure it’s because my skin is the more picky one!!! I currently love the whole line and use it every day!!’ I’m surprised that there’s so many shades in the new blush line! I’m surprised in a good way!!! @peculiarzmakeup  You definitely need to check it out! I would say try the lip treatment first you can’t go wrong with that one! And the glazing fluid is another great place to start! I love RBC because it’s so rich yet light on my skin. I don’t feel like it’s heavy and sits on my skin. I love how it absorbs quick!! As @itsfi  mentioned the cleanser is a great second cleanser it is gentle and I feel like it’s really good at cleaning all the leftover makeup on my face! I usually use Farmacy Clearly Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm as my first cleanser!’ The glazing milk is also great. I like to use it when I start my nighttime routine it gives that extra moisture my skin craves!!! I can’t wait to hear if you decide to try the new blush or any other items!!! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

I will 💯 be trying a lip treatment thanks for the great reccomendations @ather  and @itsfi 🫶

[peculiarzmakeup]

I’m drawn too juice box and piggy from the set I adore these names and the shades. Thank you for sharing on that I’ve been wanting to try the lip balm and usually when I try one thing it leads to another. I’m glad you have had good experiences with them 💕 @itsfi 

ooo @ather id love to hear your experiences 

appreciate you both! 

[itsfi]

💯 on the names @peculiarzmakeup! Love the attention to detail there. Those are two great shades you’re eyeing. 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Appreciate that so much! I wonder if they are blendable shades I will have to do my research 🧐 @itsfi 

[ather]

@peculiarzmakeup  They look very bendable from what I have seen online! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thanks for letting me know I appreciate it so much 🫶 @ather 

[ather]

@itsfi  Are there any shade(s) you are gravitating towards?? 

[itsfi]

Too many shades @ather. 😝 My eye definitely gets drawn to certain ones but I’m trying to be good about not picking up more of the same shades even though my blush collection is on the smaller side, relatively speaking. Ha! I’m going to look for more swatches leading up to her launch day - I was off by 5 days with my guess!

BUT that means the release date for these blushes is the same day the Diptyque city candles become available for purchase this year and since both the Diptyque and the Rhode release are  on the exceptions list to my no beauty buy month, I’ll be hitting pause on my “haul hibernation” on the 20th to pick up both!!! 😊 If I’m feeling the need to be extra strict on my no buy month, I’ll tack on another day and end it on July 1. We’ll see though; that will very likely be a last minute call. 😝 

[ather]

@itsfi  Awww I’m taking the same approach also! It’s on my allotment to buy this month so I think I will limit myself to only 2. I have been good up until this weekend. When I made a few small purchases but not beauty related. So I think it’s ok! Which Diptique candles are being released? Summer scents? 

[itsfi]

You're so good with being mindful and thoughtful about your purchases @ather! It's inspring.  

Diptyque makes all their City Collection candles available to the general public for one week during the year. It's usually in April but they pushed it back to June this year. It's been a tradition for a few years (5 maybe?) that I pick up at least 1 candle every year. Ordinarily, these city candles are only available in the boutiques located in the city for which the candles were named after. There are 10 candles in the collection, with the newest one being Seoul, which was released last year. They don't always produce a candle every year. Some of the candles have notes that seem like they'd be summer scents - London, Berlin, Miami and Beverly Hills - Diptyque City Collection Candles. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Ooooi like that! It’s kinda cool that they only allow the city candles to be sold for a short time! It’s kinda a cool thing if visiting the places you pick up the candle! Such a neat concept!  I’ll have to check out the thread! 

I’ve seen Diptyque candles around before but I didn’t realize the exclusivity of them! 

[itsfi]

@ather, it's more the city candles collection that is exclusive. You can find the brand's products at Nordstrom, Space NK, Bloomingdale's - that wasn't always the case. The department stores also carry some of the limited edition pieces, but not the city candles. 

[ather]

@peculiarzmakeup  Those are both beautiful choices!!! Hmm I think I was more gravitating towards sleepy girl and freckle. But honestly I think every shade is gorgeous! I love the Summer Fridays blushes that looks like aren’t made now so I’ll pick up a different shade from what I have in those!! I hope you try them out!!! 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Thank you! I appreciate hearing your thoughts and blush is on the horizon for me right now so I’m definatley in that era haha 😆 @ather 

[Sunnysmom]

More hints. When. You guys know @ather @itsfi ?! Clearly we need more blush.
