Re: Beauty Purchases 1/28/21

Hi ladies!  This week I bought an eyeshadow pallette from Tarte - the one shown on Q's website - and a liquid eyeliner from Tarte also.  Never tried a liquid eyeliner before, even when I was younger.  This one is two-sided - liquid eyeliner with what looks like a soft tip on the other side.  Anyway bought it mostly because it comes in brown.  

 

Also caved on the Supersmile TSV.  Will see how I like that and if it does what it says.  Not expecting super white but some improvement would be nice.

 

Finally getting rain here in CA.  So next few days into next week will be stormy.  Stay safe everyone!

L'Occitane Shea Body Cream. Don't need it but love the smell (and their almond scent too)

 

Stay warm! It's 10° in Chicago but at least the sun is out

@amyb   Hi.  I love Pomengranate Noir which i describe as spicy oriental which I have in the cologne.  The English Pear Freesia as mentioned I purchased the creme.  I usually purchase at Nordstrom and sometimes on Jo Malone website.  I also own Blackberry and Bay.  It depends on what type of scent you are drawn to.  Spicy, floral, citrus, woodsy.  Nordstrom always had an extensive collection of her scents to test but I don't know what is being offered because of Pandemic but if you are close to a Nordstrom, I am sure you can get samples.  You could always call Nordstrom to find out about testing and samples.  I own two colognes right now and one creme which should be arriving soon.  With the creme you don't use much at all.  Good luck.

@Heidismom   Hi. I personally use Skinceuticals and have for many years: Eye Balm, Emolliance, Renew Overnight for Dry Skin and their tinted spf called Physical Fusion (in the summer). 

 

SkinMedica is quite a bit more expensive but has a few standout products like their TNS Ceramide Treatment, Replenish Hydrating Cream and the Instant Bright Eye Cream. 

 

Some clients use and request SkinMedica otherwise I wouldn't stock it. I don't think it's worth the high price tag.

Just bought a tube of Tarte's Maracuja tinted moisturizer.  As long as my face is behaving I think I can get by wiht this vs foundation for every day.  I really like it!  It's been decades since I've tried a tinted moisturizer.  Along with my Elf Gotta Glow Lip Tint in pink, I good to go (to WM, not fine dining!)

@monicakm   The Maracuja oil is excellent for your face and also your scalp and hair.

@Katcat1 I agree about the maracuja oil.  Use a drop or two everyday mixed with my moisturizer and have for years.
