I received the philosophy kit with the purity, microdelivery and the new sheet masks. I did the mask, it was really good. It has a texture unlike any other sheet mask. It really like melts onto your face and bonds with it delivering a lot of hydration. Very enjoyable to use.

@Katcat1 

Hi I mentioned on another thread that Colorscience is having a friends and family sale ,so I restocked on my sunscreen , eye therapy 3 in 1 and brush on sunscreen powder. 

@Harpa  I am curious about the lipstick too. Recently I have seen them advertised as lipcolors for older woman. I am 56 ,I love all the charitable work they do but reviews are mixed . 

have a great weekens everyone !

I wanted to buy the newish Maybelline Snapcara, but it only comes in 3 colors:  black, black cherry, and blue.  No brown.  Bummer.   But if any of you ladies are looking for cherry or blue, there ya go.   Since I was in a rush to finish my shopping list and get back home, I bought Maybelline's Great Lash instead.  I haven't used Maybelline in decades.  I applied it this morning -- not impressed.

@tototwo  The Snapscara comes in 5 shades I believe.  I own the Bold Brown.  Go to another drugstore or Target carries it to get the Brown.

Thanks for the info, @Katcat1 !   I'll look around some more.  I don't relish beauty shopping as much as others, and usually buy the first thing I see.  

 

Do you like the Snapscara?  Any opinions?

@tototwo  One trick I have been doing for years is once I take the wand out of the tube I wipe it once so it is not completely wet when it hits the lashes.  It is still wet but not overly so.  Yes, I like it.  I am finished of paying $$ for mascara.  Maybelline always offers nice mascaras.  Since I am a mature woman, I prefer brown mascara for a softer look than black.

@Harpa   Very pretty shades.  I like creamy lipstick.  Matte is too severe for this old lady!  lol

Re: Beauty Purchases Week End 8/16

I decided to try Almay Goddess Gloss lip glosses. They have shimmer and are duochrome. One is called 400 Rainbow which is orchid with a silver shimmer shift and the other is 930 Dreamy which is a dusty rose with a lavender shimmer shift.

 

I also bought some more boxes of the L'Oreal Preference hair color in shade 50 Santorini neutral brown as I like how this hair color covered my gray roots.

 

I also bought another bottle of OMI Menturm The Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ from T&T grocery store as they sell asian beauty products including this inexpensive japanese sunscreen.

@Harpa, do you like those lipsticks?  My BFF ordered several but she's not used them yet.  I have a few on my list to purchase but I'm waiting for reviews.

 

 


@Lipstickdiva 

They've not arrived yet. The many reviews I've read all claimed that they were long-wearing.


@Lipstickdiva 

They did come yesterday. (super fast delivery!)

I can concur they do wear like a lipstain. Texture is like a balm, not drying at all. Flawless is more like a nude (with color). It works nicely on me, a brunette.

For decades I've heard that top makeup artists depend on Great Lash.  I love the price but I've never warmed to the product.  However...

 

If Maybelline ever discontinues Full 'N Soft washable, I don't know what I'll do.  I've been loyal as a Lab and have been using it for so many years.  It saved my lashes. Heart
