These are fun faves @CorgiMommy ☺️ I feel a little intrigued by KVD's mascara from your description of your lashes. Can I ask, what don't you like about it's brush?

[CorgiMommy]

@CynthieLu i am not a fan of the bulb at the end.  A bonus is at the end of the day it is easy to remove.  I think it would be a  great mascara for those with sensitive eyes.

[CynthieLu]

That's good to know @CorgiMommy . Thank you! 🙏

I've never used a mascara wand with a bulb at the end. 🧐 

I still think this is one i would like to try. I love when mascara washes off easily. ☺️

[CorgiMommy]

It is worth trying. @CynthieLu. It is as good as my favorite mascara Hourglass Hourglass Unlocked Defining and Lengthening Tubing Mascara Ultra Black .

The AC lip oils are so comforting @Titian06 , great choice! 💞

[Titian06]

Yes, they are, @Sunnysmom !  Definitely a fave!

[peculiarzmakeup]

Lovely faves! The Tatcha sounds fantastic and I’m looking into an Ami Cole right after this. These are amazing @Titian06 

[Titian06]

Thanks, @peculiarzmakeup ! 💖💖💖

@Titian06  Great favs! I love the Ami Cole lip oils too so good! 😊 

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu @CookieGirl1 @ather - Thanks! 💖💖💖

[CookieGirl1]

@Titian06 that's awesome that you found some new favs from our holiday gratis :).  I love it when that happens!

[CynthieLu]

It's wonderful to see items from the Holiday gratis make it into your loves list @Titian06 👌💕 they found a good home with you. 

Ahhhh Ami Cole's lip treatment oils are an such unsung little hero. Especially as the weather turns colder and drier, I can see needing to reach for this more and more this coming winter season. ❄️

[CynthieLu]

Oooh okay @AlexBT The Rich Cream is on my wish list. 📜 I've tried it so many times from foils, one day I know I'll cave and get my own bottle. 😉💙 

I really like your idea of sharing items that stood out not just in December but for all of 2024.  Here are some of my loves that I reached for all year long.

Thoughts in spoiler ⬇️

Spoiler

I've repurchased the K18 hair mask, Tatcha's SPF and Glow Recipe Few Drops soo many times, they are my tried and true.  

I can count on this Major Matte palette to get a trusty everyday look, I practicality use this weekly.  👌

The Kérastase hair oil is so silky on my hair. My hair is so fine I only need 1 pump so my bottles last forever. 🤩

There's something delicious and unique about the scent of the Pistachio Gelato perfume. I enjoy this perfume quite a bit. I even have a travel size for my purse too. 💚

💚🎄❤️

[Sunnysmom]

Aww this pic @CynthieLu ! Darling. 😍 I love Tatcha but I’ve not tried the sunscreen, great to know! 

[CynthieLu]

Than youuu 🙏💗 I'm kinda ready fussy about sunscreen @Sunnysmom I'm always looking for one that is fuss free and easy to wear. Thou I still build it up slowly and try to give myself a break between applying it around my skin care, they longer I wait the less likely anything is to pill. 

[Sunnysmom]

That makes good sense @CynthieLu , I agree they can be tricky. Plus sometimes different ones can break me out a little bit. My fav is still the good old Supergoop! Mini Glowscreen Sunscreen SPF 40 with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide .68 oz Sunrise / 20 m... original. But now I want to try your fav too! 💞

[CynthieLu]

You know what, I really enjoyed Glow Screen too @Sunnysmom. I keep telling myself I'll go back to it and save a little money but this one is just got me hooked. 

[ather]

@CynthieLu  Great favs! I see so many of my favs in your list! 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @ather 🙏🩷 Humm... Would it be the k18 and Kérastase that are also on your faves list? 😊

[ather]

@CynthieLu  Yes! How did you guess???
