I’m so grateful to have spent 2024 sharing recs with the best group of beauty lovers around – it has certainly inspired me to expand my collection 😅 – and I appreciate you all for always being open, honest, and generous in sharing your product knowledge with each other! It warms my heart. 💞

Okay, enough of the mush! On to the good stuff. 🤣 Here are some of the products I’ve been reaching for the most this December:

Obsessing over the Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation My color is MC2 and it is a perfect match!! The formula is unmatched - I am seriously obsessed, it feels like silk!! If anyone is looking for a new foundation I think you should try this!

@danielledanielle omg YESSSS I love you for this! And in general, but you know, this is such a good list to sink back into the rabbit hole with lol. 

[danielledanielle]

Welcome back and hop to it 😁 @Mcakes  🐇

[Sunnysmom]

Now this is a list @danielledanielle ! 😍 So many amazing favorites and new ideas! 💞

[peculiarzmakeup]

Amazing faves and I love the categorization these look incredible I’m glad you have some tried and trues thats a great feeling! @danielledanielle 

[PrettyPaint]

@danielledanielle Incredible list. I keep meaning to try the DM liner - glad to see that you like it!

[danielledanielle]

It's definitely my fave liner @PrettyPaint .  I do baby mine, meaning I don't travel with it and it stays upright in a holder.  This liner lasts pretty much all day for me anyhow, so I don't need to carry it for touch ups.  I love a brush tip liner and it has a nicely fine point that makes cat eyes so easy for me.  I can also get my inner corner for a siren's eye.

[PrettyPaint]

@danielledanielle That sounds amazing. I do a cat eye most days, so it's definitely good to have a reliable liquid liner. I think I'll buy this next when it's time to replace my current one.

@danielledanielle  Wow. Loving your 12 things for Christmas!!! Awesome! 

[CynthieLu]

Ooooh okay, you made a wildly impressive list here. 😍 @danielledanielle
