@jen81  Never to late to post favs!!

Products I think I’ve used every day in May!

• U Beauty Super Hydrator- truly gives continuous 24 hr hyaluronic dose 

• EM Cosmetics Soft Amethyst Serum Blush- so soft and perfect base under other blush or powders 

• Hermes blush- using Nuit and Ombré daily! 

• Lisa Eldridge Myth lip velvet - perfect for bare faced or low makeup days

• Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream 0.67 oz/ 20 mL - really helps my eye allergy issues this spring so will be buying full size next

• rms beauty Straight Up Volumizing Peptide Mascara 0.34 oz/ 10 ml - best clean mascara out there right now I believe . Boy does it work! Tried mini and immediately bought full size!

@Sunnysmom  Oooo I’ve been wondering about the rms mascara. I think the old version wasn’t as good! 

[Sunnysmom]

Definitely agree @ather , I did not like the old at all. This new one is quite amazing and I’ve always been so picky ! Deep black, not too wet or goopy, layers easily.  The brush is decent size too, not too giant and it’s the good traditional kind .

Wow @Sunnysmom! 😍 That's fabulous that you've used these beauties every day in May. They're legit monthly faves! 😁 Love Hermes Rose Nuit and Ombre is such a pretty shade. I picked up the RMS mascara during a Memorial Day sale and have been reaching for it a lot; will probably be a monthly fave for me for June. I also picked up an Em blush during a sale at the end of last month; it arrived the other day. 

[Sunnysmom]

@itsfi I know! It was pretty shocking to me as well when I realized it! 😂 It’s legit great mascara right? 

You did?! There is a new EM thread if you want to show us your blush sometime, I’d love to see it! Hard to find good swatches of her line sometimes. 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I am liking the the RMS mascara a lot. 😁 Along with the Em treats I picked up last month; I've just been slow to post. I'll look for the Em thread; would be good to see some swatches. YT have some good videos, with swatches, of her beauties. I have the blush in Pink Nectar. @eshoe 

Em Cosmetics blush - Pink Nectar

[eshoe]

Ooooh @itsfi maybe it was one of your hauls that I saw! So pretty. Yes @Sunnysmom @time to check out the thread.

[itsfi]

@eshoe, it was probably someone else's haul. I only recently picked up the Em Cosmetics serum blush and haven't posted other than the pics here. It'll be fun to see swatches on the new thread. @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

I love that on you @itsfi , it looks so perfect for you. And against those fun nails! 🥰 I need to look on YT, great reminder. 

[itsfi]

Thank you @Sunnysmom! I went back and forth on a few of her serum blushes; lots of pretty shades to choose from. 😍

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @itsfi , I started with Cherry and added on once I realized how much I loved them. I can actually even see me going through an entire bottle. 😳😱😂

[eshoe]

Wow, such pretty favorites, @Sunnysmom! I especially love the aesthetics of the Em blush💗

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @eshoe she’s pretty and really soft on. Do you have some EM? 

[eshoe]

No, @Sunnysmom...at least not yet😄 I believe I hopped on over to the brand’s site after one of your earlier hauls. It looks familiar and it has caught my eye more than once now!

[Sunnysmom]

😂 Happy to enable @eshoe ! It’s what we all do eh? You will really like them. Actually there is a promo right now too! I got email.  I’ll put it on the thread ok? 

[eshoe]

Ha ha thank you @Sunnysmom 🥰

[SportyGirly125]

@Sunnysmom Great favs.  I feel like the odd one out in not liking the Hermes blush as much as everyone else.

[Sunnysmom]

Oh no @SportyGirly125 blush is such a personal thing I get it! I started out a bit more skeptical I think because of it being a little more matte than I usually prefer and it turned into a very wearable thing for me. And I do agree with you on the rather light shall we say packaging! 😊 Did you try Ombré? It’s such a perfect shade with a little color but not too much and can give an almost bronzey summery look I think. I use it with a dot of the pinker ones over it sometimes too.
