Hi beauty peas. How are you doing? Are you loving everything after the Sephora sale? Did you get anything special? I am loving my Glow Recipe Night Mask and the Pineapple serum. It’s wonderful, too. I am still using Retin a 2x week and my aha/Bha cleanser once a week. My skin feels amazing.
Your turn. What do you love? Like? Hate?

I am loving my Sephora eye cream. I don't know the actual name of it but it is a small white tub with a pink lid. So far; so good.
Jury is still out on my It Cosmetics foundation. I told the sales person I wanted a little more coverage than the Tarte Shape Tape I was using and now I think I like the Shape tape better or I just don't know how to apply the It Cosmetics foundation to my liking. I wish I had a professional makeup artist to make me up on a daily basis. You know to give me that natural look.
Not Sephora related but I also starting using Arbonne facial system for skincare. My DD was loving it and her skin looks great. Again not sure about it for me but maybe I am not in far enough to see results or my skin is too old and far-gone for anything to help. LOL.

I got the Fenty lavender colored powder and wander beauty nude illusion foundation from the sale. So far I like both.
I was at the Mall of America yesterday and stopped at Sephora. I got my birthday gift, a perfume sampler set, lipstick and tatcha blotting papers. I also got a few foundation samples to try before buying.
The Walgreens at MOA had a really good beauty section. They had wander beauty and lots of other trendy brands/products. I hope that more Walgreens stores start to add that.

Which one are you using? I find the CC+ cream HAS to be applied with a Beauty Blender type sponge or it looks very wet and masklike on me. I also sometimes use their Confidence in a Compact which I have to apply with a buffing brush very lightly. I rather hated both foundations until I found the right way to put them on, and then I love them. They blend in to my skin well and really don't come off my greasy face until I wash it off - and then it washes off very well. |

Anyone have a good eye makeup remover to recommend? I use Take the Day Off and I have to massage it thoroughly to dissolve my mascara which is tough to remove. I have a few others like Estée Lauder and Clinique and 2 kinds of micellar water and this is all that works. |

Anyone have a good eye makeup remover to recommend? Coconut oil. I use waterproof mascara and Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner and this melts them right off. |

I don't remember if I ever posted this on a prior beauty thread, but I've FINALLY found my HG mascara. I'm so in love with it lol. This Chanel mascara is the best one I've ever used. And I'm really liking this new vitamin C powder. It seems a little weird at first, but I mix it with my essence and apply it and so far, I'm loving it. All the benefits of vitamin C without the instability of it in other forms. |

My skin is looking brighter since I started using it and some of my blotchiness seems to be reduced. |

I’d been a little on the fence about trying the powder, but that deal was too good to pass up (that essence was already one of my favorites). |

I didn’t buy the bundle, no. I had already been using the essence for a while, and when I recently bought a new bottle from Soko Glam they sent me a sample of the Vitamin C powder. I liked the powder well enough after only about a week of use that I ordered the full-size when they had it back in stock  . |

Speaking of their Walgreens did you see they have a beta store for Birchbox where you curate your own box? It’s right up front, and one of a handful of stores. I flew out of msp the other weekend and went over before my fight for a bit of shopping. |

I replaced my peter Thomas Roth FirmX. I have dry skin year round and this stuff is amazing for non-rough exfoliation.
On a similar note the new Trader Joe’s blueberry açaí exfoliation for $7 is awesome too.

I wasn’t really that excited about most of the trial sizes they had so I didn’t do it. It was a good deal, though. The box she made was free with a 3 month subscription. |

I actually ran over for Lush. |

I only live about an hour and 15 min from MOA but haven’t been there in quite awhile. Next time I will try to go in more of the makeup stores (morphe, MAC, sigma, etc). today I saw a video that talked about Mac blotting powder and I want it! Wish I had seen the video before going there. Ulta doesn’t have it. |

Ok beauty gurus, I need a little help. What do you use for cystic acne? ( I'm self diagnosing here, but I'm getting very big, painful red bumps that take literally weeks to diminish the slightest bit.) I've always been a bit acne prone, but never like this.
Thanks!

I bought a box of ZitStickas about a month ago. I got a chance to use one last week when I felt a deep zit forming on my chin. I wore it overnight and by the next morning the zit was pretty much gone. It never did get any bigger, so I was impressed. I’m not sure how well they’d do on cystic acne, but maybe the reviews might say. They’re not cheap either, but they’ve worked better than anything else I’ve tried for the deep stuff. ETA: I’ve read a few of the reviews and it looks like they work pretty well for those with cystic acne, but they also mention how cost prohibitive they can be  . |

My newest obsession is my bamboo cotton reusable/washable rounds. I have 32 and I wash them once a month, they are amazing for removing make up and applying toner. Every time I use one and tuck it into the laundry bag I think “one less cotton round in the landfill.”
I’m looking more towards sustainability and less towards the latest and greatest.

I swear by Murad's: Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatmentand Clarifying CleanserI have been using these 2 products for about 20 years. I use the cleanser at night to wash my face and use the spot treatment when needed. I always wait for a 20% of code and go through ebates (or whatever the site is called now). If you like the cleanser, they have a salon sized bottle with a pump that lasts forever. I got hooked on these products when I bought a trial sized kit. ETA - Murad actually has a disc code now: FAMILY. Gets you 20% off your order and free shipping. Make sure you go through Rakuten to get an extra 4% off. My referral link: Rakuten Ebates |

Has anyone tried the magnetic eye lashes? I have started seeing them at Walgreen's and CVS and was curious. Love how some false lashes look, but I'd never do extensions or the glue ons. LINK - have seen other brands too. |

I am on the lookout for a stick foundation. I tried Makeup Revolution Fast Break Foundation stick and hated it. It separated on my skin and looked powdery after an hour. I tried it with a good primer (Cover FX), no primer, applied with beauty blender and brush. Nothing worked. I am trying L'Oreal Infallible stick foundation and it's separating around my nose after 2 hours. I'd love to find a stick foundation for travel purposes. Does anyone have any suggestions? The most I'm willing to spend is $40, so don't suggest the Tom Ford stick foundation.  Padresfan, I need to try those cotton rounds. Did you find them on Amazon? |

I was getting these on various parts of my body, but had one on my chin a few months ago that was not healing (the others took forever as well but they weren’t visible). I went to the doctor and it was a staph infection. Since I was on antibiotics I haven’t had any kind of pimple. |

Cystic acne is really more of a medical issue than a beauty issue. Skincare is important but if this is new, you really should see a doctor about it. There may be an underlying cause that needs treatment. |
