Yes I am! I love her too, so much more relatable than many other YouTubers, for me.

I also love Wayne Goss and Jackie Aina (though her IG annoys me). Wayne Goss will probably forever be one of my favorites.

I have a love/annoyance view of Wayne. Some of his videos rub me the wrong way, but the dude knows his stuff. I scrolled past an undereye video of his the other day, right after I read and agreed with the older undereye post on here. Creepy.

I have also been watching a lot of videos from Mr.KongsMom and Elle Leary.

Yes! I saw that video and thought immediately of the discussion here!

Not the most professional Youtuber but she does talk about eye concealer and she's 51.  Like it.

I've been spending my money on hair and skincare products lately instead of make-up. Like others mentioned in this thread, there just isn't anything I find that exciting out there. I'm also annoyed by the constant new collections that brands are releasing (it's like they quickly put something together to get the latest and greatest out before the competition does). I'm not into unicorns or mermaids or festival looks and the new releases tend to not be the brand's best formulas for their products (from what I've seen and read).

I can't remember how long ago it was (2 yrs maybe), but I had unsubscribed to emails from all of the cosmetics brands, Ulta, Sephora, etc so that I wouldn't be tempted and also removed the apps from my phone. I may do that again. I'm Diamond level at Ulta and it's only early June. NOT GOOD.

Yes, I've been focusing on hair and skin products as well. Now that my skin is improving significantly, I'm beginning to wear less and less makeup.

I feel like everything looks the same and nothing really stands out to me. I don't get the "Oooooh, I must have that!" feeling anymore.

I also have not been buying much - primarily due to budget issues, but I am also starting to realize I have sooooo much!

HOWEVER - the new UD "Born to Run" palette is calling me. I have been wanting the perfect travel palette for ages!

I was looking at this last night too, looks pretty gorgeous. I'm going to wait and see what it looks like in person and what the reviews are like.

I destashed so much the other night-UD Alice in Wonderland, Lorac Pro 1(kept Mega Pro 1), MUR Neutrals vs Newtrals (I really only liked the peachy colors) and a couple others as well. I'm also going to destash Modern Renaissance but I'd love to make a little money on it. I guess I could post it here.

I also destashed a lot of my highlighters and lip colors. I had a LOT of dupes so I basically kept the most high end of each shade. I still have like 5 high end gold highlighters but I'll do a second pass through and declutter some more.

Does anyone have the Sweet Peach palette and do you love it? As I mentioned, I destashed the MUR Neutrals vs Newtrals palette but the peach/pink/rose colors are what I really liked and wondering if Sweet Peach would be a good replacement.

Sweet Peach is my go to palette! I don't think I've ever hit pan on an eyeshadow but I've managed to do it on 2 of these pans so far.

I bought the TF Boudoir Eyes palette and I’ve used it every day since I opened it. I wish they had a smidge darker shade for me to use as liner, since I like a soft powder liner look, but so far so good. And I tried liquid liner for maybe the second time ever this week and it was not a disaster.

I have my palettes on rotation but this is the one that breaks my rotation, meaning I'll use it for a week, then go to the next palette I'm supposed to rotate to. I love it sooooo much.

So I got a deluxe sized sample of Dior’s new Backstage foundation with my recent order and I really like it. It’s light coverage and it felt really nice on my skin all day. I got shiny by the end of the day but in a dewy sort of way. Just what I need another high end favorite haha.

[beetea]

Does anyone have the Tarte Aspyn Ovard palette? It looks beautiful but my general feelings on Tarte's eyeshadows is that they're too powdery.

[secretlyevil]

I’ve been dupe researching for tarte shapetape. Ran across an article that had a few listed, one was WnW’s concealer, Photo something or other. I picked it up this morning on my trip to Ulta. Fingers crossed! It was really inexpensive, trying not to get my hopes up but it would be so cool if it lived up to the article’s claims.

[wineandcheese]

Has anyone used the Hourglass stick foundation? I was thinking of giving in and trying it. I used to use the Ulta brand stick foundation but then my skin changed. I prefer stick foundations when I need to do my makeup fast and have been out for awhile. I’ll take other suggestions too.

[secretlyevil]

Liquid eyeliner and I will never be BFFs. The pens seem to be a bit more idiot-proof but other than those I struggle.

[tiramisu]

I'm in dance recitals right now and I counted how many different products I used on my face. 28 total, not including any tools. 9 are eyeshadow colors. I don't know why it surprises me, but it does. And I've got lots of compliments on my makeup this week, which has been nice.

I have. It’s nice, no complaints, but I prefer liquid. I love the hourglass stick highlighter.

I like the Bobbi Brown stick.

Gross, KVD has come out as an anti-vaxxer. I’m glad I stopped buying her brand a while ago.

I really like the Lancome foundation stick. My skin tends to be combo/oily and it held up nicely for me!

Yeah...hence my trying different liquid liners. The PF one seems dry to me.

So I bought a pre-loved sweet peach palette for $20 shipped from an online makeup exchange, now I'm debating on also picking up a practically new Just Peachy mattes for $30. Opinions?

I'm a huge fan of the JP Mattes too! My only complaint is that a couple of the shades are super similar to one another. They blend like a dream though!

Cool, thanks! And it looks to be complementary to the Sweet Peach. I *could* get a brand new JP Mattes from TF online for $36 but I'm thinking in the interest of less global waste (and I save a few more bucks) I might as get the one being sold on the exchange.

NYX lip butters feel so good. I don't wear mine enough. 

[NewOrleans]

I saw an ad for a WnW product. I liked the name: Liquid Catsuit Lipstick.

I have the weirdest zit. At least I assume it's a zit. It's just settled into being a little tiny lump on my chin/jawbone that refuses to either go away or come to a head. At first it seemed like a normal zit - kinda painful, reddish, and then it stopped hurting and turned regular skin color again and now it's just...there. It's been like two weeks.

what the hell! how do I make it go away? I tend toward the occasional one-off hormonal zit on my chin, and this was right in line with that pattern, but now it's outstayed it's welcome.

Could it be a small cyst? Or an under the skin whitehead? Can you get a needle or lancet and poke it and see what comes out? Full disclosure: I've been watching a lot of popping videos on YouTube lately.
