<<< <<< <<< ๐Ÿ‘„>>> >>> >>>


(1) Makeup


FACE: Latest routine is just wearing
concealers as a foundation.

Under my eyes, around my nose,

blend out with a brush.


Many brands have released new concealers in the last 1-2 years, 
so I recommend browsing all of them!!!


Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer
I had an older/different version of this, but recently tossed because it was too old.  I thought the Dior concealers were insanely high quality... When I put it on, I thought "This is magic..." !



LYS Concealer

Creamy formula, had also been my go-to! Unfortunately the cap broke, so I threw it out. I would totally buy more if didn't already have like 3-4 other new concealers in my stash waiting to be used...


Other concealers I want to try:


Kulfi Concealer



FOUNDATIONS... classic one is Dior!

Recommend any of Dior's, this is my current one:

Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation


I ALWAYS have this on hand:



I have these at home that I'm waiting to try soon...





And... I also want to try . . .

LASH GROWTH

Controversial product...

Some people do not like that lash products containing PG (prostaglandin) analog.
This ingredient was/is originally found in glaucoma medicine - and a physical side effect is LASH GROWTH. So companies like Latisse started selling this product. But many cosmetic companies aren't FDA approved so there's a risk to using products with this ingredient.

More info about the risks/negatives here...


Negative side effects reported by some include: losing fat around the eyes, more sunken/wrinkly skin around the eyes, dry eyes and thinner eyelids ...
Some Tiktoks went viral on this last couple of years...


IF YOU DON'T CARE... 


Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH

I saw incredible results.

I used it every other day and
once my lashes got long, I used 1x / week.



BUT IF YOU ***DO*** CARE... 


The Ordinary Lash and Brow Serum

Try this Ordinary one - doesn't include the controversial ingredient. Much cheaper. Online people are saying they're seeing good results. I use this regularly too.



Eye Products


Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow
THE BEST. Oldie but goodie.
So good when you’re lazy.
Liner and shadow in one.
GREAT staying power - won’t budge, once it’s on.
Many imitations, can’t compare!!!



MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Resist Color Pencil Eyeliner

Also another LONG time fave since I was in college - I basically always have a Black and Brown pencil of these on hand - always.




Will be re-purchasing this liquid liner - Very very good!!! My pregnant bff started seeing more oily eyelids and couldn't wear her old eyeliner... THIS ONE stayed on, though!



Everyone needs at least ONE eye shadow palette that's got all the sparkles...
The Huda one I have isn't sold anymore,
but this HUDA Rose Quartz one looks nice...
 
Last 1-2 years has been the year of the BLUSH.

MANY incredible new blushes out on the market...


Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

VERY POPULAR. Incredibly pigmented. 1 dot is enough.

Buff it out with a sponge or a brush or fingers.




Fenty Cream Blush

This Fenty one is a few years old
but I only finally tried this one recently.
Can use a brush or fingers to apply.



MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick
This was one of the originals on the market!

I STILL love using this. Deposits just the right amount of color.




Very popular brand among my friends!

The lip oils and the foundation stick are supposed to be great!
I'm definitely trying this soon...



Dior Lip Glow Oil
Be like the Tiktok kids...



And I could go on ...  Ping me for more :)

(2) Skincare


Glow Recipe PHA BHA toner

Very popular, very gentle and very effective... a must-have for my sad nose lol



Everyone needs to be using Vit C in their routine!



My skin loves ceramides!





LANEIGE Cream Skin Milk Oil Cleanser / Toner/Moisturizer vs

LAST YEAR, I got really into gentle, low pH facial cleansers. Switching to gentler facial cleansers has worked well for my skin. From Sephora, I like this one in the AM. And I'll use more exfoliating/stronger face washes at night. I ran out of this specific cleanser but started using the same line's very gentle moisturizing toner.



Innisfree Fermented Soybean Essence
Ran out of this awhile ago - but did enjoy this as a step 2 hydrating essence. I like the gel-y texture.



Kate Somerville DeliKate™ Recovery Serum
This is one of those MAGIC serums........
I will repurchase this when I run out, despite it being $$$$. Great for after-sun exposure. Or just when your skin feels wrecked. I definitely saw a difference just in 1 night, the next morning.



Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask
This stuff is MAGIC.
I only had the mini, and it lasted me long time.
Basically, when I put this on at night,
the next morning my skin is amaaaaaaaaazing!!!



And I want to try . . .


Anything by RANAVAT - like

I got a small sample of this brand's brightening serum.
Very luxe!


 

(3) Hair


This year, I tried really hard to go blonder...
With all the bleaching and balayage,

needed serious hair repair.


K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask

THIS STUFF IS EPIC. Hands down needed for bleached/colored hair. Olaplex who?



And I tried switched to fancier hair care.
Love this gentle hydrating Verb Shampoo.







Pureology Leave-In Spray

Love how this smells and works!



I want to try this next!


(4) Fragrance

In addition to all the Classic brands that you know (the Armani, the Gucci etc.)... Sephora also launches and carries tons of interesting unique NICHE Fragrance brands!!


And did you know you can get Discovery Kits from many brands? It's usually around $20-35 and have multiple fragrance samples - so you can find your signature scent.
