I’m really liking the Merit blushes..especially now with cold weather!

[CynthieLu]

Great fav @diannkaye There are so many pretty shades in the line up 🤩

[diannkaye]

This month flew by it seems like! My workhorses for Jan were:

#Necessaire neck serum which is such a smooth but nourishing  consistency especially when paired with 

GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI All Time Prime Clean Hydrating Prep & Smooth Face Oil 0.95 fl oz. / 28 mL . I truly think my neck lines are a bit smoother and less dry in just a few months. I’ll take it. This oil has become my favorite for all over and my neck and I’m so grateful to have been gifted it as a gratis! I’m on my second bottle.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Anti-Aging Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid  is perfect for a bit of a quick glow plus well needed hydration right now. 

Bobbi Brown Skin Color Corrector Stick serves well for a light weight eye concealer and I love how it’s not drying at all. Helps with dark circles nicely too. 

rms beauty Volumizing Mascara 0.23 oz/ 7 mL is almost perfect for a one and done mascara. Glossy, dark and not clumpy plus it layers well. 

Gucci Long Lasting Bold Lip Liner Bordeaux is great for a low key day when worn with 

goop GOOPGENES Clean Nourishing Lip Balm Trio in tomato . The liner really holds and is so smooth. The balm tastes yummy with a good bit of color. 

Gucci Luminous Matte Beauty Blush 03 Radiant Pink is the prettiest most natural pink blush ever. I love the glow it gives!  The Chanel no 1 red balm goes nicely over it too and over the lips.

Great choices for the month 💖@Sunnysmom 

I keep almost getting the oil primer by GXVE, it seems so nice 🤩 

ooh yes those blushes are lovely! I found my shade favorite in the Gucci blushes, your right they are so natural looking. I waited months for Apricot to be back in stock, so happy with it, thier formula is so nice and smooth 👌 😀 

Nice looking photo of all your excellent must haves 🩷

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks so much @CynthieLu ! I’ve struggled to find an oil that wasn’t too reactionary or too much and this one is a solid win. The scent is so soothing too. Ooh, Apricot is such a lovely shade, yay for grabbing it! 💞

@Sunnysmom The photo alone makes me want to try all of these goodies. I am curious about the neck serum and the Gucci blush💞

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @Mellmars1185 , yup it’s def time for you girlies to get on the neck cream, you have time! 🥰 Some of us of a certain age are fighting it hard! 😭 Seriously it’s a pretty great serum almost a lotion.  Not sticky or too thin either. I’m very impressed and just wish it came in a gallon jug. Lol. The blush would be stellar on you. You gotta. 💞

Losing the light a little bit but it’s so pretty! 

[Mellmars1185]

@Sunnysmom Thanks for the swatch. It really is so beautiful. Ohh the serum must be really great. Gotta try that too!

[Saradestin]

Those products look amazing @Sunnysmom !! And the picture, once again, gorgeous! 

[Sunnysmom]

It’s so rewarding to see some results from creams etc @Saradestin ! Ah, thank you so very much! 🤗🥰

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom I'm honestly not sure that I've heard anyone talk about the rms beauty Volumizing Mascara 0.23 oz/ 7 mL but now I'm curious!

[Sunnysmom]

I started using it again after my favorite Ilia dried up and I really do like it @CookieGirl1 .  It’s a little bit wet at first but after using it for a few times it gets much better and layers nicely too.

Kerastase Resist line- Love how soft and manageable this made my extremely damaged hair. How could it get ruined in one year?

Josie Maran Argan Smooth Skin Resurfacing Serum 0.85 oz/ 25 mL 

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter Unscented - How I love using these two at night and waking up to smooth skin!

#Armani Beauty Neo Nude A-Line Liquid Blush 53 Actually this is shade 50. Perfection and I wish I had a backup of this as it seems they are discontinued. One of the best gwp's I have ever gotten.

Surratt Dew Drop foundation-  Very smooth and just a bit glowy.

CLINIQUE Clinique Pop™ Lip Colour + Primer Lipstick   Bare Pop- one of the best nudes ever for me.

Two of the cutest minis and also excellent- Gucci L'Obscur Lengthening Mascara 1 Eve Black  and DIOR Dior Addict Lip Tint .

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Anti-Aging Standard Size - 0.33 oz/ 10 mL . I love the shimmer this gives my eye looks. It also makes some shades more wearable. It woukd look pretty on its own also.

[CynthieLu]

Love your loves! @Ispend2much6 

The mini Dior is so sweet! 💗

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu. Thank you! It is precious!

[Mellmars1185]

@Ispend2much6 I really like the Kerastase samples I have tried so far. How long do thr full size bottles last for you?

[Ispend2much6]

@Mellmars1185. They're new to me but I'm thinking not as long as I would like.

The balm protector is great- still protected my hair when I styled it the next day.
