Sephora

Thank you @caitbird; you win some, you lose some, right?! They can't all be amazing, and the subpar products make us appreciate the good stuff even more when we come across them, yes?! I've given away most of my samples and the ones I have left are, for the most part, either tried-and-true beauties or products I've been wanting to try. Oh no, I'm so sorry that the innisfree made you break out. 😣 I wonder if it was the fragrance in it or maybe just an ingredient that did not suit you. I tend to do fairly well with innisfree products but I knew going in, the consistency of the moisturizer would be too light for me. I probably should have included it in the batch of samples I donated. Lesson learned.

You got the methods DOWN @itsfi !!! Speaking of bronzing drops... I was so tempted to pick up the MAKEUP BY MARIO Softsculpt® Multi-Use Bronzing & Shaping Serum 🫠🫠🫠 Do you have a Dior shade, twinsy?! I'm thinking I'm probably 1W but I haven't gone down to the store for a shade match.. I'm debating if I wanna just order online.... (yes. I am so lazy)

Samesies @Sunnysmom ! I have both the loose powders from LM. I also actually have the loose powder from Hourglass too! Eerily similar, the two brands, now that I think about it..... 🤔 I thought about purchasing over the memorial weekend but I told myself that I needed to shop my own stash and I have the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder AND a refill.. technically they're supposed to be competing with the CT. Do you find hourglass to be better?

LOL so far I have and used the Elemis Pro-Collagen Firming Retinol Alternative Renewal Serum 0.5 oz / 15 ml (I really love this... which is bad because this is pricey and im not rich enough for this. oh and look! It's retinol alternative 😉) and I have the beekman collagen booster. I use these two alternatively and my skin definitely feels firmer (either that or my face is getting fatter and plumper). Thank God both of these are boosters and only need a few drops vs a whole dropper! I was just gifted the Paula's Choice Pro Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster 0.67 oz / 20 mL which I haven't opened yet (I honestly think it'll take me forever to go through the two boosters above so may need to give this away) Ahhh. It makes sense. I think I mildly know what it's like because as you said, it's somewhat normal at a low level. I do get mild dryness and redness which is why I only use retinol at night if I know I won't be wearing makeup the following day! I usually slap on the LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask and find that that helps a lot or the following day, I use the Tower 28 Beauty SOS Daily Skin Barrier Redness Recovery Moisturizer 1.86 oz / 55 ml . Well, it's great either way tho because there are so many retinol alternatives now!

@caitbird I should check out what they have now, too.

@itsfi Wow!!! I see so many! I love that you thought @missjeanie always keeps 40 on hand. I wonder how many you have on hand. Hmmm I wonder how many I have on hand. I usually keep a stick formula in every backpack and purse I have!

Ugh this blush @makeitup305 ! 🤩

@itsfi This is a beautiful picture! And I love this lineup! The Gucci mist bottle is so pretty! 😍

I know it goes on my face

@CorgiMommy thank you! I'm very happy with my new setup. How do you store yours?
