Good morning!

Neogen Peeling Mousse - bought this from HSN and have been using for 2 weeks, every 2 or 3 days.  At 69, I have noticeable large pores from age and a lifetime of very oily skin.  I've tried several products and cleansing methods over the years to keep those pores cleaned out.  I'm kind of a fanatic about it.    After rubbing this peeling mousse onto my skin, there are tiny black balls that form on my skin's surface.  I really can't tell if this is dirt from my pores, or if the mousse itself forms black balls as it dries.  But, I'm happy to report that my pores do appear to be smaller and, in some places, my complexion is smooth as glass now.  Since I haven't added any other new products to my routine, it's probably the Neogen causing the improvement.  Time will tell.

Bought some "Flower" colorless finishing powder to replace my It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores.  Haven't used it yet - will review another week.

Moringa oil has been gaining popularity so I decided to buy some. Should arrive today...stay tuned.

@tototwo  Suggestion - try mousse on your hand and see if you have the same reaction.

Okay, I just put some moringa oil on my really dry arms. It sinks right in. Has a herbal smell to it but pleasant. It's not sticky or greasy. My arms look very hydrated and the crepiness is not as noticeable either. I like it!

The Magic Mist spray to set your makeup by e.l.f. is really nice.  I held it 12 inches from my face and, of course, closed my eyes.  I believe it was $3.00.

Hi @Katcat1 - did that, but not on my hand. I rubbed the mousse on the under side of my arm, between my wrist and elbow.  I still got a few black balls, but only about 5-8 of them and they were microscopic.  I really had to search for them.   When I rub it on my face, I get much bigger clumps and 30+ every time.

Morning! Purchased the Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Overdrive color. 

Very similar to their Junkie shade, only Overdrive doesn’t have the sparkle/glitter? of Junkie shade which is a dark green.

Still hoping Urban Decay will someday put out a true green that is not lime or neon or forest green color.

Some Lipstick Queen lipsticks from Winners in Canada.

The Chess Bishop Determined mauve matte lipstick. This is a demi-matte orchid shade.

The Eden Red glossy lipstick for my daughter.

The Morning Sunshine color change (from yellow to coral) glossy lipstick for myself.

The Hello Sailor blue sheer glossy lip topper lipstick. This doesn't look good by itself as it can make your bare lips look like you are turning blue but can turn a warm toned lipstick into a cool tone one.

The Saint Bare Nude lipstick for my mom.
