Beauty Purchases week end 2/21/2020

[ Edited ]

Hi Beauties,  I hope you all had a great week.  I did some shopping online.

 

Fresh Brown Sugar parfum (this scent is awesome with sweetness & lemon).  A warm,inviting scent to add to my collection of Fresh parfums.

Two hand-poured lipsticks by Color The World (30% off sale)

Acure Volume shampoo

Acure Radically Rejuvenating Marula & Rose Serum Stick

Acure coconut cleansing towelettes

 

I love this new Serum Stick by Acure.  My skin is soft and very hydrated (it's for the neck too).  I hope you have been shopping.  Share your purchases.

Re: Beauty Purchases week end 2/21/2020

Much to the detriment of my credit card, I stopped by the Chanel counter on Monday.  Purchased two red lipsticks, one in a soft glossy formula and one a bit more matte. I had cleaned out my lipstick stash and found I was lacking in the red department!  Also picked up a new peachy blush called 'in love' because I saw it on a You Tuber and it looked SOOO good.  Really complements the red lip.  Oh and the new Volume de Chanel mascara in brown - re launched as part of their spring summer desert themed colors.  I did refrain from getting any more eye shadows, so some restraint was exercised!  

 

In the last two years, they've discontinued my favorite foundation - Lift Lumiere - at Chanel and my go to back up, IT Confidence in a Compact as well.  I just ordered the IT compact from Ebay. 

 

But I'm now on the hunt for a new foundation.  I've purchased two drug store foundations this week hoping they would work and each one has been a bust.  I had heard good things about Elf so picked up one of those and the L'oreal Infallible. The immediate splotchy- ness on my face and inability to blend these two were a disaster.  I'll have to give them away to relatives.  I'm thinking the poor result might be due to the skin care items I use in the AM,  

 

Any help with foundation with medium coverage that helps to blur and fill in fine lines, wrinkles and some texture would be appreciated.

@Sammijo10  You may want to try No 7 foundations which are at Target or Walgreens.  I shop at Target because it seems the selection is larger and you can return if it doesn't work out.  They have several different foundations and even a tinted moisturizer so check it out and it is reasonably priced but a quality product.

I really love this eyebrow gel. My brows have gotten more sparse with age and this is a swish swish product and my brows look fuller and more even. I have lost my patience with pencils, I go to this one every day.

I rounded out this week by purchasing L'Occitane Almond Shower Gel & Hand Cream (A352324).  I've been wanting to try the Almond Shower Oil for a long time & found this duo last night.

 

Have any of you used the Almond Shower Oil?  If so what do you think about it?
