Now she has a reason to work 🤣.

Does anyone have a coverup that would help with red face blotches and is for very sensitive skin? Bonus points if it has sunscreen in it.

I use Garnier BB cream. It's in the sunscreen section at my store, but I wear it more in the winter when my skin is drier, though I use the formula for oily/acne prone skin. My skin is fairly sensitive, and I don't have any problems with it. It cuts down the redness a lot, and I use mineral powder foundation on top if I want more coverage.

NomoreDramaQ1015 Is it too late to return her to the hospital and say I'm done with my 10 year free trial?

Maybe you should have bought the extended warranty. You can probably return but will have to pay shipping and a 50% restocking charge.

My normal day time look.

A bit of pinkish/brown eyeshadow..... makes green eyes stand out
Black mascara
Good coverall foundation ...... in a shade that doesn't look like I've got it on.
and 12 hour lipstick in a reddish colour.

The idea is presentable.. but not over done.

Hair is long, blonde (streaks of other colours) straight cut and very well conditioned. (I use a dye every 5 weeks to touch up roots)

Nails have gel polish .. currently purple.


I like a bit of grooming....... makes me feel happy and ready to face the day.

I got myself a Disney Bambi eyeshadow pallet. I decided to go with Bambi because his is a brown pallet and I've been looking for some to match my eyes.

It's got a pretty gold in it I can't wait to try.

I also got new mascara because mine is gross, more of those zit patches and some eyeshadow remover. My Lisa Frank eyeshadows are heavily pigmented. Regular face washing hasn't cut it.

I got free Nyx products with my mascara purchase. Gwen can have the primer I'm not wearing foundation at the moment.

I'm keeping the lip oil and the lipstick ended up being the perfect nude so I'm keeping that too.

I like the look of the new urban Decay palette.  But I promised someone I wouldn't buy anything for a while.

At some point it will go on sale half price. They all do at some point during the year. On black Friday I got the Naked Heat, Naked Cherry and Naked Honey all half price. I had gotten the Naked Reloaded earlier in the year for half off. Just keep watching the sales.

I've been researching stuff for my increasingly darkened eyelids. This product has come up on a few lists. Anyone tried it?

I've been using products from this line .

Ordered a Peter Thomas Roth mask and moisturizer set using work brownie points and it arrived today. I just did the pumpkin enzyme mask and it smells so damn good. Face feels great, too. The water drench moisturizer melts on contact, similar to Tatcha's water cream. Can't wait to try the other four masks!

I just got a sample of that from Sephora. I'll have to try it.

I love anything from Peter Thomas Roth. Hilton used to give me a bunch every time I stayed.

My favorite is the gold mask. PTR is my jam! The moisturizer is so good. It will be on the sale too. On 3/31 it will be half price. Stock up!

Oh God, I am overstocked on moisturizers and masks! 🤣
Belif aqua bomb and the aloe version, CosRx snail moisturizer, Peach & Lily matcha antioxidant moisturizer, Olay night cream, Ipsy bag samples. Many peel off, wash off, and sheet masks. I have a skin care obsession.

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

I am getting pretty proud of my eyeshadow skills. They aren't Instagram or TikTok worthy but at least I graduated to more than one color and don't look like a clown doing it. I've even tried THREE different colors at once!

Thanks Andi! 😘

I'm rocking hot pink today.  I don't care what it looks like!  ROFL  I got a little too drag queen with it, but I'm happy anyway.

Have you ever used a foot peel mask? Like this: Foot peel mask link

I had no idea there was such a thing but considering we are heading to sandal weather, I was thinking about trying it.

I got this one, but I haven't tried it yet. I've heard really good things about it.

I tried one a few years ago . Worked pretty good . Kind of weird however . My feet were peeling for at least a week , if I remember right .

Several times. It helps if you soak your feet in warm water first. Not sure why, guess it helps the mask soak in. For me, it's usually about 2 weeks for it to take effect, then takes about a week. Warning, it's not a pretty sight.

ETA: If you are heading to the beach, allow about 3 weeks for your feet to look presentable again.

Any suggestions on frizz control sprays to be used on dry hair? I had a Schwarzkopf spray that worked well, but it appears to be discontinued.

I use Biosilk. Not a spray, but more like a serum. Can be used on wet and dry hair. Ut's the only thing that works for me.

Don't you hate that? Seems to happen to me all the time with hair products.

Yes, I think someone gave it to me, and it had been working fairly well. OGX discontinued a hair oil I used before that. Sigh.

Not sure if anyone uses it but Macys has some good prices on Clinique gift sets, plus extra 15% off with code VIP and a free gift with $31 purchase.

The Spring Haul is on. Drugstore deals instead of high end. I'm getting this palette that I've been trying to stay away from. I do not need it, but it's half price and the quality is really good. I love LA Girl. You can get the brand at Target and CVS, but check out Ulta right now if you want to try it since it's half price.

www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=pimprod2021882

ETA: The Nudist pallete is the one I used in our last tutorial if you want to pick it up. It's only $5.49 right now.

I don't have a spray recommendation, but if you have a Trader Joe's near you, their shea butter and coconut oil hair serum is amazing. And only $3.99! I have dense, wavy hair and it is great for air drying (or not).

I want to wear a foundation to smooth out the look of my skin but I also have to wear a specific sun screen. It's a cream. Any suggestions on what to do? I need help from how to use it and what to use. Right now, I blend Aliquippa foundation and my sun screen. But it looks 'glossy'. I'm totally clueless when it comes to make-up.
