It’s my FAVORITE omg it’s amazing. You can even get a little sample vial of it from LuckyScent if you’re unsure! Union’s “Celtic Fire” is also insane and wondrous, but it’s really Too Much for warm weather.

Oh you know what, Finch sent me a shadow stick to try and now I can’t remember if it was Laura Mercier or Bobbi Brown! It WAS pretty great, but it was also a super pale goldish-nudeish shimmer, so any creasing etc wouldn’t have been very obvious. (I’ve also got a Bobbi Brown cream shadow that’s fab, but it was an LE…

You’re so welcome! Man I love ALL of those. Also, check out DS&Durga’s “Bowmakers” sometime — it’s very very much in the same genre as Zagorsk! More wood/resin than incense, but that same kind of dry crisp sharp vibe.

Yeah, kinda — they’re creamy, but you can’t really pick up a dollop on a brush and paint it on like you can with a true cream shadow. Still tho, most of the ones I have are EXCELLENT performers, and they don’t irritate my eyes. And they’re five bucks! Also I just tried four of their pressed powder shadows which, to my…

I KNOW, the purple DOES look good, but that blue is screaming my name.

I REALLY like a lot of the ColourPop Super Shocks, but to me they perform more like a slightly creamy powder, rather than like an actual cream shadow. (Also, I just got “Sailor” and omfg it’s my new fave thing in the world.)

YES! Well actually a friend got it as a point perk and sent it to me, and I’m CRAZY about it. So smooth! So easy to apply and blend! No irritation! Crazy long wear! From the reviews on Sephora, it sounds like the ivory one is maybe problematic, but the others look great — I plan to order the black and cobalt mattes to…

CdG is my JAM. I’ve got Standard and two from their Incense line (Zagorsk and Avignon) and there are so, so many I love!

That’s what I do — plug phone into PC, open windows explorer, phone will show up under “This Computer” in the directory tree. Select photos you want to copy (or whole folders, since iPhone puts them in multiple folders) and drag them to wherever you want to copy them onto your PC’s hard drive.

I use the niacinamide + zinc serum from The Ordinary, which cuts down oiliness *a little*. I can’t do most mattifying primers etc, as they have heavy silicones that give me cystic acne. I try to keep it at bay somewhat via TCFS blotting papers and an occasional touch-up dusting of Meteorites (kinda mattifying, but not…

YES OMG I AM THE QUEEN OF CREAM SHADOWS. Also I have sensitive eye skin which some things (UD primer, UD shadows, MUFE Aqua Creams) irritate, which makes my eyes water, which ruins the makeup. ALSO I have oily skin. So : very picky about What’s Good.

It’s here! And yay, come play with us!

It definitely does! And it’s SUPER easy — if you don’t wear makeup, all you need is one moisturizer with broad-spectrum blah blah, and also it’ll be easy to reapply. If you DO wear makeup, you’ve got your base moisturizer with sunscreen ... and then it’s pretty easy to buy foundation, powder etc that include it as…

Yay! And yeah, you’d know if you had issues, because it would be something you care about. Like, I’m still battling acne at age 44, so a lot — okay MOST — of the stuff I put on my face is about taming or preventing breakouts.

You should be using a good sunscreen daily! Preferably broad-spectrum! Everything else is seriously just ... optional. Unless you have issues you want to address, which, it doesn’t sound like you do. Lucky you! Spend your time and money on other things!

If you want to get fancy, you can next-level that shit and start shopping for golf skorts. Look like a skirt! Stretchy shorts built in underneath! And they have POCKETSES! And they come in delightful colors and patterns! I have quite a few from Loudmouth, Lija, Greg Norman, Prana, and Cutter & Buck and I heart them…

I appreciate their listings of ingredients, and their notes that “hey this one ingredient is great BUT it’s way far down the list so there’s probably not enough of it to do anything AND/OR they combined it with ____ which renders it ineffective.” But they can also FOH with basically failing any product that has added…

Dude go order multiples of that ColourPop Blotted lip, like, right now. They’re SO GOOD. I only wish they came in more shades — I got “Lolly” and ordered “Deja Vu” and “Drip” the next day (still waiting for those). The formula is fantaaaastic. It’s matte but not chalky, feels nicely waxy and occlusive, easy to…

Really! My results with bimatoprost aren’t like “holy crap my lashes are past my brows,” but they’re DEFINITELY good results! I’m sure that results can vary according to one’s genetics and such. IIRC, I got my GrandeLash from either Amazon or Drugstore.com. Finished the whole tube over 2-3 months, and I had zero…

I find that the thicker cream and gel liner types work best with basically a tiny flat filbert brush — tapered and rounded flat shape. These are less floppy than a lot of the usual liner brushes so they’re better for non-liquid formulas. Also, the wider flat side is ideal for spreading product over a larger area (big…
