Just wanted to call out that H&M eyelet blouse from last week's post...it's fantastic and looks much more $$$ than you can imagine. there's something about the tailoring...i want to say "sharp" as a perfect foil to the "soft" theme of the eyelet. 10/10 thanks kim! hope everyone out here has a great day :)
Have you tried the Lancome Cils Booster XL Mascara primer? It’s excellent. And thanks for your previous recommendation of essence | Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara. I had concerts last week and I couldn’t get my false eye lashes to stay on, so I used it instead!
I used to subscribe to Flamingo Estates’ veggie box, for bi-weekly produce deliveries. I liked the veggies, but would end up doing the same thing every time with them: oven roasting the veggies to puree them into a delicious yet pricey soup. I want their tomato candle!
I love Hanni Splash Salve, really makes my skin soft. Something about applying it while in the shower and not having to put on lotion after feels like a time saver.
I used to only use waterproof mascara, but now I've been loving tubing mascaras. They don't run and they don't come off, even in a little rain. But, put some soap and warm water on them, and the little tubes slide right off. My favorite is by Em Cosmetics.
I am struggling to find an eyebrow prod. to cover the grey...I do not want to dye my brows. I have blonde hair and am fair skinned. I was using an Anastasia Gel Mascara eyebrow product but they changed the formula and do not care for the new one. Bought the Benefit wax gel mascara and it does not seem to provide much coverage for those grey hairs. Recs?
I have black hair that has now grown out silver, and my brows are mostly still black but getting grayer. I really like NYX Tinted Eyebrow Mascara in Espresso. It covers the gray, looks natural, and keeps my thick brows looking nice. It's also cheap and comes in other colors as well.
I hear you about the eyebrow dye. I started using this product and it works. I look weird/Eddie Munster-ish for a day or so until it settles in, but then I have actual eyebrows for about 3 weeks. Everything else doesn't provide enough coverage, looks too artificial, etc.: https://www.iherb.com/pr/godefroy-instant-eyebrow-tint-light-brown-3-application-kit/89255
When I am disciplined about applying a brow enhancer daily, that also helps a lot.
What brow enhancer do you use? I need to start. I use Baebrow eyebrow tint and it also works well - some random product that came across my insta feed.
There’s a very cheap ELF tinted brow gel that comes in lots of colors and uses a mascara-type brush/wand. FIVE DOLLARS and I swear it is no different from more expensive brow gels from the cosmetic counter.
Rare Beauty's precision pencil is my favorite eyebrow product of all time! Better than benefit, glossier, anastasia, all the all-stars. Looks totally natural.
Nothing like being reluctantly poor with expensive taste… 👅 🤭❤️
Flamingo Estates tomato candle smells like summer. If you love fresh, in season, sun ripened tomatoes , you’ll love this candle .

Still faithfully using Kosas which I learned about from one of your posts. I love how easily it blends in and looks like I am not wearing anything.
Same! Glad to see the travel size.
I'm also a fan of Dream Beam. Very lightweight, does the job, and looks good.
For someone who doesn't have a skin care regime, you have pretty fabulous skin. Have you been wearing sunblock since your twenties? Asking seriously.

i also regret that VD is the fucking bomb 😝

The FE bath products are, rather unfortunately, kind of amazing. The Clarity bath wash is also wonderful, as are their soaps.

FWIW, Paulina Porizkova’s favorite eyebrow pencil is an actual…pencil. Like a bog-standard no. 2 pencil. Maybe worth trying?
Revitabrow I think. It's pricey (by my standards) but sometimes I can find it on sale.

Vintners and Idole are both wonderful products!
