July Randoms

I broke out naked2 today in who knows how long and forgot how much I love it. It was my first palette purchase and was my favorite and go to forever.

I am wearing the wrong foundation. It's most definitely a winter foundation and I didn't use powder this morning so I feel shiny/oily.

Anybody else using Pixy Glow Tonic?

I added it to my routine last Friday and been using it everyday. OMG, I can see the difference already but should I be using this everyday off the bat? I'm scared my face will suddenly react to it. I've been wearing the Watery Essence sunscreen too.

If this keeps working, I want to try TO's glycolic acid toner.

Yes, I've used it and liked it. I just started TO's and it's definitely a bit stronger. My skin has been fine, but I can only use it at night and it stings ever so slightly.

Champagne Supernova, I love the Glow Tonic- the acid component of it is very, very weak so you shouldn't have any problems with using it every night.

Does anyone know of a product I can add to my Bare Minerals mineral foundation if the lightest shade is a little too dark/warm? I know they make mixers for liquid foundations but not sure about loose powder

I vaguely remember hearing of a mineral powder foundation lightener, but i don't recall the brand. How off is it? something that can bit fixed by adding a smidge of transparent powder? Are you opposed with mixing it with a lighter shade from another brand?

When I used BM like 15 years ago, I had the same issue and ended up switching to another brand completely- Everyday Minerals. They had a better variety for pale girls like us.

I'll try some transparent powder. It's not off by a ton, but it's definitely darker than my neck so I have to try to blend it out. If that doesn't work I'll try another brand and hope my skin doesn't hate it. Thank you!

The original MegaPro palette will be on Lorac's website this Friday for one day only.

I love mine.

DH found the flower beauty sponges while he was out running errands, and brought me one home!!

[robinsbff]

i ordered from sephora this morning and got a shipping notification 2 hours and 3 minutes later.

Ugh, I'm not a fan of The Ordinary foundation. Both versions oxidizes throughout the day so my face developed this slight tint orange around 2:00 PM each time I used it. I'm not a fan of the primer either. Back to MAC I go.

TO's skin care stuff is still the best I've ever used though.

I'm laughing so hard at this right now, you guys. Why do people keep trying to make this a thing? It doesn't work, so stop trying!!

I can't remember which YouTuber it was but she tried a similar product and a bra insert. I can't see myself trying a makeup applicator like this. All I could think about is I'm putting my makeup on with a chicken cutlet lol.

I was impressed with my July BoxyCharm box. So far I like everything except the colourpop liquid lipstick. The only reason I don't like that is because it's a deep hot pink shade that I would never wear.

This is a really pretty palette.

I saw that on reddit a while back. It looks gorgeous.

PSA: I was just at Marshalls and they had a TON of Bite lipsticks for $6.99 apiece!

[redheadbaker]

My new job is directly across the street from an Ulta. I should have my employer just make my checks out to Ulta.

Whoa! Did you happen to notice if they were multi-sticks or Amuse Bouche? I know they changed their formula last year, so I wonder if those were the older formula.

I *think* amuse bouche but I'm not totally sure. The color names I remember are Zin and Tannin, if that helps!

The Laniege lip mask is legit! I love it and I looooove the strawberry flavour too!

It just moisturizes lips all night. I got it when Gothamista mentioned that it didn't budge all night. I would usually put on lip stuff but it would be gone in no time. This stuff is there when I wake up. I can't wait to use it in winter, I usually get really bad chapped lips.

I can't stop watching empties videos.

I use this too! I recently read (on Reddit?) to layer the Hada Labo gokujyun lotion under it, and that boosts it even more. Its great!

Empties and PR hauls are seriously draining my whole summer away.

I saw a bunch at my T.J. Maxx, they were butter cream lipsticks in heather and cream shades. I am not a lipstick person, so I didn't get them. I wonder if I should have now. Hmmmm....

My local stores have only had the Bite Lipsticks in the old formula. I still picked one up though...
