@Cissy63, your approach is the best one - just keep on with your mani, whether your nails are long, short or in between! I will follow your lead, or, at least try to! 😊

My two all time favourite brands for acne friendly foundation and concealer are Fenty Beauty and Nars. The Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mini Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation and NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation (or the NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation) are foundations that cover my acne so well and they do not worsen my breakouts. The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer # is my holy grail of concealers. If you have acne, radiant might sound horrifying, but I don't find that it makes my acne stand out at all! PS : all of this products are great for oily skin. I hope this helped !

@missjeanie, it's been a journey to say the least, with making my way through the full size Biba palette. lol, there's definitely a deterring effect for me as far as purchasing goes, seeing how long it takes to work through eyeshadows. 😲 I don't have enough eyelids to use up all my current shadows 🤣 and yet, I have a feeling I will at some point pick up more shadows (that's the truth) , but I will aim to be more strategic and thoughtful about it. I'm thinking for me personally, smaller palettes, quads make a good fit; or, I should say quints as Dior does quints and I have a good amount of Dior products I've accumulated over the past few years. 😍 Yeah, but for that lockdown, I would not have even attempted to pan this palette - I needed something to focus on and stick to, and eyeshadow from the full size Biba, every single day - every. single. day - at least for the first year and most of the second, was that something. 😅 I'm focusing on those prarie and rustic shades for these last 7 months of the year - the shine shade I feel will work through itself just given my natural tendency to reach for that shade out of these three. My next "hmmm, maybe I'll try that" approach to use more of these shades is to take some product from their pans and make cream eyeshadow out of them - either 3 different creams or one with a mix of all 3. 🤔 I have my vitamin E oil, rubbing alcohol and plastic jars so I just need to decide what I'd like to try my hand at, and when.

Second @jaaayp . I will look it up and bookmark it now @itsfi 😘

Thx you for the tag @itsfi . I just finished watching her and Sofia See Beauty. Sofia has all 4 new ones. I’m sooo conflict of picking up 700 and 710. Liked you said, they’re so pretty but not different enough from the stuffs we already had. And one little quads liked Stora Dolls probably last us more than a year of daily use. I know I won’t be that strong not picking any up but I will limit myself to 1 or 2 the most. Sigh.

I recently purchased the Maison Louis Marie Discovery Eau de Parfum Sampler Set . It's on sale for $11.00--half off, so I couldn't resist. However, it's only a five-piece set, not the six-piece set as described. No. 13 Nouvelle Vague is the fragrance not included in the set I received. Here are my thoughts. No. 02 Le Long FongTop: Hinoki WoodMiddle: Cedar, Patchouli Base: White Musk, AmberComment: For the most part, I could not smell this one. I could tell something was there, but I couldn't tell what it was. No. 04 Bois de BalincourtTop: Sandalwood, CedarMiddle: Vetiver, Nutmeg, CinnamonBase: Woody, AmberComment: Although I could only smell this one for about two minutes, I absolutely love it. All these notes are right up my alley. 🙂 No. 09 Vallee de FarneyTop: Grapefruit, Black Pepper, Orange Middle: Geranium, Cedar, Patchouli Base: Vetiver, Musk, AmberComment: I could not smell this one. No. 12 BousvalTop: Sicilian Bergamot, White Cardamom, Italian OrangeMiddle: Eucalyptus, White Ginger Lily, Oakmoss, Petigrain, Heliotrope Base: Cedar, Myrrh, Musk, AmberComments: I could not smell this one either. I have this issue with many scents. 😄 Antidris CassisTop: Black Current, Bergamot, Black Pepper Middle: White RoseBase: Oakmoss, Musk, Tonka BeanComment: For the brief moment I could smell this when spritzing it on, I caught a whiff of citrus and sweetness. The two didn't really seem to go together, but it was so fleeting, it was hard to tell. For the sale price, it was worth trying these. Overall, though, how disappointing!

Ahhhh, the Marc Jacobs beauties in this capsule are making me nostalgic @missjeanie! That's one of his OG eyeshadow palette! I regret (well, somewhat) passing on a few of the eyeshadow palettes of his that I had. Yes, his New Nudes lip collection was great! I think I also found a good nude lipstick that I liked back in the day. "I shouldn't like such an expensive lip balm so much." Hahaha! You know, missjeanie, that sentiment just speaks to me. 1000%
