What Is Your Most Recent Product or Item Change In Your Basic Makeup?

ECBG — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 18:06:37 GMT

I have absolutely loved Mally's origonal eyeliner pencils that had the black powder you applied over them. I wore it until I had to order sets from amazon! Then I found out the single pencil worked.

A friend sent me some gel liners from Laura Geller. I'm in love!

I'm also getting better brows from Mally A275649. I had used a Clinique brow powder I had to fight with!

I stopped with the black eyeliner. Yesterday I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror and realized all it does is accentuate my deep blue circles under my eyes. I have been sick and it really is showing. No amount of concealer can hide it..

@ECBG, my mascara.

I have tried $3 mascaras, drugstore, higher end, the brands offered by QVC and HSN. I have found nothing that I wanted to keep using.

Then I got a sample of Le Volume De Chanel (waterproof). I liked it well enough that I treated myself to a tube. Now I'm on the the replinish program!

I've been a big believer in that you don't need to spend a lot of money to have great products...and I was actually very mixed about loving this mascara so much because of that.

But this makes my pathetic lashes look naturally fuller, longer and keeps the curl. And I can easily get 3+ months out of a tube without the formula drying out. Oh, and no caking or clumping. So for me it's worth the price tag because the never ending cycle of trying a new mascara too often is finally over.

@kzjohnson, I have very thin lashes while our son's are like a fur coat! Unfair! Would you mind telling me where you purchase your mascara? I've been using Mally's and it's begun clumping like crazy.

Thanks.

@ECBG, I buy directly from Chanel (.com). I do mostly because the price is the same just about anywhere that sells Chanel, and Chanel has the auto replinish program.

You always get sample options, and this may sound silly but their packaging on everything is impeccable. Just so "fancy"...makes it feel a little special. FWIW, the current tube I'm on I've been using for just over 3 months and no clumping! If you treat yourself, I hope you like it as well as I do.

BTW, I used to use Mally's as well and gave it up because of the clumping issue.

@ECBG

I have started using Younique liquid foundation and the aesthetician when I went in for a facial kept complimenting my skin.

After spending about $300 on new products without having success, I started using Azelaic Acid yesterday for rash and rosacea. It took care of a cystic acne bump that was threatening to rise to the surface (it is now gone) and it cured the red scaly rash on and under my eyes. Found it myself.

I recently received the serum foundation from The Ordinary and it's good. Coverage is good, it's lightweight and the price is phenomenal!!

To use a facial moisturizer on my face and decollete. After menopause my facial skin is not as oily as it used to be (I spent my teen years to my 50s dealing with acne) and so I never used a moisturizer on my face back then. My skin on my body has also become itchy sometimes so I need to use a moisturizer sometimes too.

I'm also dealing with seborretic dermatitis on my face so I'm trying different cleansers. I found a bar of soap for this condition at CVS so I'm giving it a try as well.

Optical Illusion primer by Urban Decay. I received a free sample when I purchased 2 other products in this line. It goes on very smooth & keeps my oily t-zone under control.

I switched my regular foundation for Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector. It is lightweight, has SPF 20 and gives me enough coverage. Pefect for summer.

I went to one lighter shade of Brow pencil in L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer. I went from Dark Brunette to Brunette shade.

I'm not sure @CANDLEQUEEN. I've only ever bought fragrance from Chanel until I happened upon this mascara as a sample gift.

LOL @ECBG!!! My Daughter and I have skimpy lashes, while my 4 Sons have the "Fur Coat lashes!" I Agree! Totally No Fair!

I changed foundations. I love my new foundation, but found out it's being discontinued. I was able to purchase a few back-ups though, so I'm good for awhile.

Another thing I changed was that I started using a Nyx makeup sponge to blend my foundation. It also helps me clean up the edges on my eyeshadow when I've colored too far outside the lines.

In preparation for my white hair later this month (oh God, what am I thinking), I'm trying out a few brighter lip colors...still pink, but not my pinkish nudes. I'm liking Trish McEvoy's Precious Pink & Lancome's Poodle Skirt.

I went back to my 20s and bought a tube of Clinique's Raspberry Glacé lipstick. 💄

I also bought Clinique's old time cake eyeliner in brown.

I have a few things that I have done differently lately.

I have such sensitive skin and have wanted to use a scub of sorts but everything is too harsh. I found one by Boots that I love and so far, so good! It is called Jelly Balls! It is very gentle, fragrance free and has small beads. So far, so good. I use it a couple times a week and I think it really helps my skin feel smoother!

I, too, have decided that when I do wear liner, which isn't often, that black is too harsh for me now. Instead, I use brown, or blues. Same with mascara. A deep brown looks much nicer.

Also, I have recently started wearing a bit of blush. Blush has always been a no-no for me. I never could get it right. But since I found the Milani Tea Rose, I am enjoying it very much! I also am putting a bit of highlighting powder above the blush and I think it looks really pretty!

For summer --- I have started really liking lipsticks with a bit of shimmer or frost. I am older, yes, and didn't think this would look good on me any more. But it seems to light up my face more!

@kzjohnson- thanks for the review but I have one question before I try it - does it have a plastic brush? It looked like it on the pic I saw. That is a deal breaker for me. Can't get the product on my lashes decently and almost scratch my eyes out with those things! They are like weapons of eye destruction to me!
