@Iwantcoffee   You're so right. I purchase the mini BB mascaras when they're 25% off on the BB site. I don't wear mascara every day, so the mini's last me the 3 month toss out mark. When on sale , I do stock up and purchase 3 or 4.

15$ ! And I did notice colored mascara is coming in strong 

for spring ☺️


@MalibuFox   Wow, L'oreal is raising their prices! That's almost the price of a Chipotle meal Smiley SurprisedSmiley Very Happy.  Oooh that's great that colored mascaras are all the rage for this Spring, because I have blue and purple mascaras! I think colorful mascara is a lot of fun- I wear it on its own or underneath brown mascara for a subtle everyday look. Smiley Happy

@Shanus A big fail for me was JVN Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner.  They changed the formula about a year ago and I did not like the change. I still use JVN recovery serum, leave in conditioner and shine drops.  They are favorites.

@ninjawife   Why do companies fix something that isn't broken? Dislike the newer formula and only use the volumizing S&C and the styling products as usual.

@Shanus  LOVE THIS POST ...  so much fun.

 

Looking at the past year.....

 

FAVORITES:

RMS CRIMSON LANE LIP BALM (perfect sheer red)

RMS LIP PENCILS

RMS LIP NIGHTS

MAKE UP BY MARIO CREAM BLUSH

BK BEAUTY BRUSHES (amazing - great quality - makes a HUGE difference)

LAURA GELLER ROSEY & RUSTIC EYE SHADOW PALLETTE (all wearable)

LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK

 

FAILS:

BB POT ROUGE FOR LIPS & CHEEKS (doesn't last on me)

PATRICK TA MAJOR DIMENSIONS II (just okay-thankfully got on sale)

LYS CONCEALER & BRUSH 

 

@JeanLouiseFinch  First,  I hope you are doing well and improving each day.  I hope you get to go HOME today.   Take a look at the Laura Geller Rosey & Rustic pallette.  The colors are much more wearable then the BL Teddy Girl pallette,  which I'm beginning to agree with you on!   Sending you a hug.

Thanks, @nyc1. 😊  I was discharged yesterday afternoon.  I have a handsome male nurse taking good care of me  at home.😉  I've had considerable shoulder pain from the CO2 but that's started to resolve.  Shifting in bed is painful but getting better too.  Everyday is a step in the right direction.   

 

I'll check out that palette.

@nyc1   Experimenting and loving RMS and Makeup By Mario. I'm thinking MUA really know how to formulate colors and textures that work best.

 

BB Pot Rouge has changed formulas and not as good as before...always happens. The price went up too and MUBM cream blush is so much better anyway.

@JeanLouiseFinch   SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME ...  what a nice bonus having that handsome male nurse to help you!!!   Maybe give him a tweak on the cheeks when you get the chance! Heart

 

BTW ...  the LG shadows in that pallette are a lot more muted and a lot less pink.

@nyc1 - went and looked at the Laura Geller website at the palette you mentioned.  It looks so pretty.  Went to purchase it and a lip balm and something must be going on with LG's website because it won't let me checkout.  Even though I am signed into my account, I get a a weird "failed" message.  Maybe thats a sign that I shouldn't get it. HAHA
