Beauty Purchases; 6/9/22

[ Edited ]

Hi Everyone!  Starting this early because I have an early morning tomorrow and not sure there will be time to post this before I go to work.  Let us know about your purchases this week?  Do you like them?  Is it a re-purchase?  Spill the beans!  LOL

 

Here's my list:

 

Paula's Choice - 2 bottles of eye makeup remover.  Great stuff.  This is a re-purchase.

 

Naturium - Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10%.  Going to try this after I'm done with current Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid.  Hoping I like it as much because the cost is much less than PC's.

 

Alpha - Renewal Body Lotion 12% AHA.  This is a re-purchase and a back-up.  Always have a bottle of this on hand.

 

Triangle powder puffs - from Amazon got a pack of 6.  Want to see if I like these better than the round ones.

 

L'Oreal - Tinted face balm foundation in Light/Med.  Heard about it from Angie Hot & Flashy and someone else on YT.  This is a curious, want to try it type of purchase.  Hasn't arrived from Amazon yet.

 

Wet n Wild - Photo Focus Loose setting powder.  I know I had one somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it.  So its a re-purchase of sorts.  At least its very inexpensive!  Hasn't arrived from Amazon yet.

 

NYX - Professional makeup mineral matte loose finishing powder.  This was another curious, want to try it so added it to the Amazon order.  

 

Real Techniques - Instant Brush Cleaner.  I have had Bare Essentials version of this for years and love it.  They aren't making it anymore so was very happy when I saw this and its a fraction of the cost of the BE version.  Added to Amazon order so will be here soon.

 

Skin Aqua - Moisturizer/spf.  Heard about it on this board from a couple of posters so ordered it from Amazon.  Hasn't arrived yet so will see if I like it.

 

Physican's Formula - Butter Bronzer in Sunset Bronzer.  Its a little darker than I'm used to so have to remember to use a lighter hand when applying but wore today and like it.

 

Thats it!  Looking forward to reading everyone's purchases.

@JudyL 

I purchased my favorite concealer Laura Mercier Secret concealer.  Medium coverage, it's NOT thick but rather lightweight.  I got 15% off at Nordstrom.

 

Happy weekend everyone.

@JudyL   and other Beauties

 

I purchased Not Your Mother's S&C Curl Talk. This is a first purchase (discount coupons make me want to try new things). 😂

 

Skinceuticals Vit.C serum is also on the way. I finished my Ordinary....liked it, but also enjoy switching from time to time.

 

Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara...the mini size (purchased 3) while they're available...great for travel.

 

***Sorry @Katcat1 , I have to disagree about LM Concealer. For me it's too heavy coverage and was difficult to work with. I used it up on bruises, tiny veins around ankles, etc., but just couldn't make it work under my eyes.

Laura Geller's Ethereal Rose, which I have adopted as my blush/contour. This is such a lovely soft shade on a light-medium skin tone, so wanted this as a standby.

 

And I've been intrigued with Perlier's royal jelly, so will be trying the Pearls of Youth serum. (Been intrigued w/ royal jelly as a supplement, too. Can anyone recommend a good one?)

@JudyL, I love to see someone with a healthy and robust beauty shopping appetite. LOL! I hope you enjoy your purchases and they all work well for you. 

 

I guess I only bought one thing...seems I can't stop with the darn blush purchases. Woman Surprised I was ordering some other kitchen stuff from Macy's and added this on. Like I needed another blush. Woman Embarassed I should receive it today.

@Shanus   Our skin is all different but use what works for you.  Laura Mercier Secret Concealer works for me.

@Katcat1  You're so right. It also depends on skin prep, amount of dryness under the eyes and if there are creases under the eyes. Different strokes, right?
