@eshoe Wow, I totally need to look the Benton Snail Eye Cream up! Sounds perfect.

eshoe · ‎03-01-2020

@PrettyPaint it’s a pretty unique formula. I haven’t tried another eye cream like it. Maybe if tapioca were miniaturized and blended into an eye cream🧐? My under eyes love it when I’m too tired to pat in Tatcha The Pearl Tinted Eye Illuminating Treatment Moonlight

RebeccaBT · ‎03-01-2020

@eshoe That is one of my favorite mascaras!

Best,
Rebecca

The wand is so flexible, @RebeccaBT - and the product itself is a great consistency, doesn’t clump at all. ❤️!

blackkitty2014 · ‎03-01-2020

@eshoe2 of your favorites are mine too. I bought 2 YSL tints #2 and #3. I used up the Chanel hand cream deluxe sample I got. It’s a good one. I think I will buy it. 😘

itsfi · ‎03-01-2020

@eshoe, I remember those YSL lippies; bummed they were discontinued. How would you describe the scent on the Glossier?

eshoe · ‎03-01-2020

You are correct @itsfi, I’ve had the YSL sample in my stash for close to a year and decided to finally try it this month; now it’s in my Empties and Loves💗 😭

You is really close to pink peppercorns in scent, also slightly like Commodity’s Velvet, if there was a ‘light’ version. Spicy honey. It’s comfy, like the sensory equivalent of a cozy sweater.

itsfi · ‎03-03-2020

“Spicy honey”? Oooh, that sounds really nice @eshoe!

SportyGirly125 · ‎02-29-2020

@eshoe So glad you are loving the Chanel hand cream. My Mom introduced it to me and I have loved it ever since. I use the tiniest amount because it’s so luxe and really is a treat. It has a lovely ocean like scent to it.

eshoe · ‎02-29-2020

Your Mom has excellent taste, @SportyGirly125. I use only the very tiniest amount, too, it is a rich cream and the scent-yes; a bit like the ocean🐠

My makeup hasn't really changed much in the past couple months, but I recently got KLORANE - Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - Loose Powder Formula which I'm loving. It's the first really effective dry shampoo for my fine, Asian hair that tends to get oily and flat (most dry shampoos make my hair look worse). I couldn't believe how clean my bangs looked at the end of the day!

My combo skin keeps getting confused by the weather (seriously, 80 degrees one day and snowing the next), and I've found that using The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil 1 oz/ 30 mL at the end of my nightly skincare routine has been helping with moisture.

@txcatx So happy to find another lover of KLORANE - Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - Loose Powder Formula! This is one of the items I hoard b/c it's such a HG for me!

itsfi · ‎03-01-2020

@txcatx, TO rosehip seed oil is a staple in my skincare routine when it’s cold. I am definitely giving that dry shampoo a try; it sounds like the very thing my hair needs.

pocketvenus · ‎02-29-2020

This month got very cold so I've been loving

DHC's Color Lip Cream. It's a very soft balm with a hit of colour that's very gentle and youthful. Not as moisturizing as the original formula but definitely more moisturizing than lipstick.
Skinfix Eczema+ Hand Repair Cream 3 oz/ 89 mL I received this as a part of a gratis awhile ago but it was not the right season. Now is the time!!! It is a little greasy but I also don't need to constantly reapply as with other hand creams.

tastelikewater · ‎03-03-2020

@pocketvenus The Skinfix is a February favorite for me, too! Definitely one of the best pieces of gratis I've ever received.

PrettyPaint · ‎03-01-2020

@pocketvenus I received that hand cream as part of a gratis too and have loved it ever since! 🙂

itsfi · ‎02-29-2020

@pocketvenus, I didn't realize (and I'm not sure why) that DHC made color lip creams. I really like the original; will be looking into the color versions very soon ... like right now. hahaha! 😉

pocketvenus · ‎03-01-2020

@itsfi I also really like the original but the coloured formula is surprizingly pigmented!

haleyvvvv · ‎02-29-2020

@BrendaBT such nice faves! I love the CT lippie and the Ilia mascara sounds interesting. Thanks for starting the thread this month. Reading everyone's faves has been good!

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel 13 oz/ 385 mL

Spoiler

This isn't quite as aromatic as the cream, but is lovely, and my skin is soft and clean after and smells delicious.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">This isn't quite as aromatic as the cream, but is lovely, and my skin is soft and clean after and smells delicious.</DIV>

Philosophy Clear Days Ahead Mattifying Clay Toner

Spoiler

I surprisingly like this, it reduces redness and isn't drying on my normalish skin. I'd never really considered clay in a toner, but am definitely going to look further.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">I surprisingly like this, it reduces redness and isn't drying on my normalish skin.

The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% Serum for Facial Wrinkles 1 oz/ 30 mL

Spoiler

Such a good find! It has been slowly helping with fine lines, plus can't beat that price!<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">Such a good find! It has been slowly helping with fine lines, plus can't beat that price!</DIV>

OLEHENRIKSEN - Truth Serum® Mini

Spoiler

It's not the strongest vitamin c serum, but I definitely enjoyed it. I'm cycling through other vitamin c serums for the next bit, but so far am probably going to return it. I like it's fake scent, better than the terrible butter popcorn smell. It's a smooth serum that goes on well and definitely brightens up my skin.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">It's not the strongest vitamin c serum, but I definitely enjoyed it.

Ace Beaute Vintage Dawn Palette (BC)

Spoiler

I've been doing this thing where I use a different palette from my stash each week, so I can 1) shop my stash, 2) not spend too much time trying to pick out a shadow in the morning (I get a little overwhelmed by too many options and it takes too long to make a decision) and 3) not get too bored trying to get through what's in my stash by rotating them.

I used this at the beginning of the month after getting it from my BoxyCharm in January. These colors are so beautiful and blend nicely with each other and there's so many possible looks! I haven't really liked any other palette this month.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">I've been doing this thing where I use a different palette from my stash each week, so I can 1) shop my stash, 2) not spend too much time trying to pick out a shadow in the morning (I get a little overwhelmed by too many options and it takes too long to make a decision) and 3) not get too bored trying to get through what's in my stash by rotating them.I used this at the beginning of the month after getting it from my BoxyCharm in January.

MILK MAKEUP Mini KUSH High Volumizing Mascara 0.13 oz/ 4 mL

Spoiler

I'm not a huge mascara person, I'm blessed with pretty long and abundant lashes, and usually when I wear mascara it makes my glasses streaky. I like that this isn't clumpy, and adds a bit of volume with only one swipe (for me) and doesn't irritate my eyes. Its dries fast-ish and only occasionally streaks off in the rain but not on my glasses!<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">I'm not a huge mascara person, I'm blessed with pretty long and abundant lashes, and usually when I wear mascara it makes my glasses streaky.

OUAI - Texturizing Hair Spray

Spoiler

I spray this on my hair and then go outside in the slightly humid ocean air and I get gorgeous wavy texture. I got a sample size in a sephora favorites kit, and when I work through my stash, will be likely picking up again<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">I spray this on my hair and then go outside in the slightly humid ocean air and I get gorgeous wavy texture.

THE ORDINARY -

Spoiler

Thanks to the lovelies in the BIC boards for hyping this! I use it at night after an active and it definitely makes the process better and less likely to cause any harm or overexfoliation.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">Thanks to the lovelies in the BIC boards for hyping this!

SUMMER FRIDAYS - Jet Lag Mask

Spoiler

Been using this as a sleeping mask for most of January and all of February. It is so great! Leaves my skin soft and hydrated in the mornings especially in the winter. I just finished my mini size 😭 and am going to be working through other things in my stash until I get into the full size I have.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">Been using this as a sleeping mask for most of January and all of February.
