Pepper is a great shade! I have a mini of it

Any Inglot lovers here? I happened to step into Macy’s for the first time in years and found the stand. I bought a lipstick #129 and fell in love. I went back and picked up  four eye shadows (pretty pinks/fuschia), a 4-palette (top and bottom attached via magnets) and two lipsticks for $69. Reminded me of how much fun…

I squeaked by and just made VIB Rouge, I fell in love with the Marc Jacobs eyeliner pencils this year and kept buying them through the year and in December realized I was thisclose by a $100 so I tried the MJ eye crayons which also lasted all day on my oily lids. Doubt I’ll spend that much next year but I am going to…

Thanks! I am not one for regular maintenance with cutting my hair, it’s usually I’m putting my hair in a ponytail or clip every day time for a haircut.

Aloe-Up! is a reef safe, water-resistant, high SPF sunscreen that goes on very nicely. It lasts in water for 80 minutes, and when you’re not in water, like normal sunscreen (reapply every 2 hrs when in sun).

I got Glamglow face masks with my Sephora money. I have my eye on Lorac’s Unzipped Gold Palette.

I got my sister-in-law some Bliss Spa products for Christmas. I hope she likes using them. Mostly, I just wanted something to put in the really cute bag I found for her.

I finally got my hair cut. I was looking at some different hairstyles that might take work and thought nah, a layered bob will be good because I’m terrible at upkeep.

Modern Renaissance is my GOAT. I think I might hit pan on the pale matte shade, the shiny pink and the light taupe.

I’ve suddenly made it my mission to get the perfect metallic/glittery/over the top eye look down. I’m sick of slightly shimmery shadows! I want to look like a drag queen! I’ve ordered MAC’s water-based mixing medium as I’ve heard it’s good, but now I need some glitters and metallic pigments, and it feels like there’s…

Look on Surrender to Chance or Lucky Scents! They do samples and decants of a TON of perfumes. I usually get my perfume from BPAL but those sites have let me try or get smaller sizes of some other perfumes I like but maybe don’t want an entire bottle of. It’s how I tried several Le Labo scents without shilling out…

I got an ulta gift card and trying to figure out how to spend it.

I do like tony moly’s stuff. Thanks for the rec!

Awesome! And I’m happy to help if you have any questions about getting started. (Don’t let my insanely long routine scare you—you can do as much or as little as you need/want.)

oh man, I need to read this at some point and start following these beauty threads, one of my resolutions is to actually have a skincare routine.

I love LUSH. Mostly because I like my make up simple and to have as few containers as possible :P They have tiny bottles of pigments that can be used for a variety of things and can be mixed to make unique colors like paint. I have the color below to use for eye shadow, a pink one to use for blush, and a number of…

I just got my first Play Box. I like it a lot buuuut one of the samples was empty. Bummer. Sephora refunded the box and gave me 500 points though so I guess I’m not that bummed I missed out on the fire engine red lip stain.

100%

two tarte lippy lingerie pens (pure and envy) and a tarte lip scrub. the scrub is amazinggggg i love it!

On a delicate topic, but any advice for a bikini wax virgin? I want to get back to the pool, not shave and not scare children (or the teenage lifeguards who have probably never seen a pube, thanks to internet porn :P)
