Beauty Purchases 7/8/21

Katcat1 — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 02:42:16 GMT

Hello Beauties, I hope you have been shopping -- don't forget to check out Nordstrom's Anniversary sale when it starts. I purchased Petunia Pickle Bottom Pop Art Belle cosmetic/train case. I was lucky to have a $20 Note so I did not pay full price.

Did you Beauties, get any bargains or something special? Share with us. Have a wonderful weekend and always stay safe.

Well @monicakm my resolve to not buy any more makeup didn't last long. Last weekend, Laura Geller was having a sale and with 40% off, the prices of the items I bought were drugstore prices so how could I resist that! Bought 2 INKcredible eye liners - navy and gray; spackle eye primer, and a concealer. Still on the concealer hunt.

Also from ULTA I bought 2 Milani blushes - Petal Primavera and Luminoso; from Flower Beauty I bought a blush in Sweet Pea; also purchased a NYX lip liner - pink nude and some setting spray.

@monicakm my hair color is up for debate. HAHA When I look in the mirror in the bathroom, my hair, to me, is light brown with gray mixed in. However, when I saw a picture of myself with my DD the other day, my hair looks all gray. My DD and sister say its a lot grayer than what I see in the mirror. HAHAHA My eyes are blue and I heard years ago that gray makes blue eyes bluer and it seems to be true.

@marmarbrooklyn What kind of shampoo is it? I have a salt & pepper longer pixie. I stopped using the blue purple shampoo because it made my silver darker. Happy Belated Birthday.

@JeanLouiseFinch NYX has some pretty nice products at reasonable prices.

@Katcat1

Hi Thanks so much ! Both shampoo and conditioner are silver . No blue or purple at all . I have a pixie too . I never liked the blue or purple they can be a bit drying . I purchased from Sephora so I could return . It was a splurge , but I use very few products on my hair .I also really simplified my makeup and skincare a few years agorarely spending more than $20 on the items I do use .

I purchased the 4Ever Magic eyebrow gel in blonde and it is the first ever eyebrow product that is actually the color of my brows (at least of what is left of them and not gray). I have tried so many pencils, powders and gels over the years and most are either too dark or turn reddish on me. I had a problem that the first pot was dried out and had to exchange. Gel comes with 2 spoolie brushes and has 2 colors in the pot. Is the most natural looking brow product on me. I am brow challenged and have a scar in one brow where I ran into a wire fence on the farm when I was young. That scar is a bare spot that is sooo hard to cover but this product does pretty well with that.

That's some haul! Just a warning. Whatever you do, DO NOT think about "snot" when you're applying the snail snot and don't look it when pulling your hands apart after rubbing it between your hands...it's kinda stringy (g) I'm on my second bottle.

I've heard a lot of good things about the NYX Butter Glosses.

The glycolic acid I use has been a game changer for my complexion. The previous routine had helped a lot. I'd be fine with the results but the addition of GA took it to another level!

@monicakm several years ago, I had about a 90% Korean skincare routine so I'm not worried. GA isnt new to me either, just a new product to try.

You Tuber MUA Robert Welsh has had a scar in his eyebrow since he was really young. He said he wears it as a badge of honor (I guess for not dying when he fell down the stairs as a toddler).

I don't watch Robert much (guys wearing makeup really isn't my thing), but I watch a lot from his twin brother James who focuses more in skincare. I do get a kick out of them when they are in videos together. Something funny happens and they both have the same laugh and mannerisms.

Why did you stop with the Korean skincare regimen?

@monicakm I saw Dimitri (Skinn Cosmetics). He took his glasses off, leaned in and looked right at me, and it was all over. He became "my boyfriend", as DH put it, for years. I keep trying to break up with him, but he has a moisturizer and oil that I love.

@JeanLouiseFinch Your remark about Dimetri hits home with me. I had to laugh sinceI had that reaction to him and I really like his products.

From Graftobian - a pink shade of highlight/corrector, which I'll use at the inner corners of my eyes to reduce any hint of shadow.

They also gave me a lipstick color, Summer Night. Looks dark, but is the lovliest color, or I could say, perfect color, for me.

Re: Beauty Purchases 7/8/21

Katcat1 — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 14:10:40 GMT

@Kabella I always rotate shampoos: hydrating shampoo, clarifying shampoo, volume shampoo. I might have one more.

Re: Beauty Purchases 7/8/21

Kabella — Fri, 09 Jul 2021 15:58:23 GMT

@Katcat1 I also rotate because my hair needs vary. We both did not like Ouai but I I did buy the Quai detox. I could not tolerant the scent of Ouai shampoo or conditoner & found it drying. But the scent of the detox is different & not as drying as the Shampoo hmm. I do have Pureology hydrate Sheer conditoner (without cones) & I have to use a leave-in when I use Ouai detox.

I only use the detox ionce a month or so. my favorite of all is Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo & conditioner & next is Olaplex. Pureology has some silicones that are not water soluable hence the need for the Ouai.
