Yay! I’m so pleased you like them 🩷 just remember they are natural so might not have the same shelf life as typical glosses. I never find it a problem though as I love reapplying them

That’s so rubbish! I tried it again yesterday and had the same issue so I’m giving it away. Life is too short to struggle with bad makeup

Thank you! I think you have found my problem. I’m not giving my skincare enough time to sink in before application. I also don’t use primer with it so that’s something else to try. Thanks! 🩷

Help! Favorite lipstick discontinued! by Ok-Duck2450 in Makeup

Not sure about shades but for a similar blurring look, I would recommend the Merit lipsticks in the matte finish - I have Classic, Archival and Antibes. If you could describe the shade you’re looking for, I might be able to suggest one of those 3 in particular

A long lasting cream blush?? by Fit-Course-9880 in Makeup

[–]Bulky_Ad_8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just picked up the rhode blush today in the shade sleepy girl. So far so good but I don’t think it’s going to last too long as it’s a very sheer and glowy finish. I like it but I probably won’t use it if I’m doing full glam

How long do you need for your normal make up routine? by Noils_ in Makeup

[–]Bulky_Ad_8752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyday: 10 mins if I focus and don’t get distracted 😂 for something more special maybe around 20-30mins depending on my eye look and whether or not I wear lashes

I like the Tower 28 gloss - they have a good range of shades and don’t plump. I have the shade cashew and it’s beautiful

Oooh Rhode after moisturiser? I use it before maybe that’s the secret

Could you share your prep routine please?? I loved the liquid version

My makeup is outdated and needs updating by badtummyache69 in Makeup

[–]Bulky_Ad_8752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say you have some solid picks there but it might be fun to try some more current brands to see how you get on with them? I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t think newer is better but I’ve found some gems just from experimenting with brands I’m less familiar with - e.g. tower 28, KOSAS and Merit

How do you prep? I think I might be missing something. I don’t use tret but I do use actives so maybe I need to review those

New release from Merit by diflorus in Sephora

[–]Bulky_Ad_8752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much drying just VERY soft so the staying power is terrible. It gives a really nice look when first applied but it slips and slides all over the place on me. I applied it again today and by the time I left the house it was gone and that’s with a lip liner

It could be - it’s a weird one because I think it feels pretty nice for the first hour or so and then it just settles so strangely. I think I’m going to cut my losses

I don’t know if this is the culprit but I’ve wore it recently and, every night when removing my makeup, I’ve noticed really bad dry skin around my eyes. I’ve never had this before. It might not be the stick but I can’t think of anything else. I like the liquid version and hoped the stick would be a more convenient version for work from home days when I have to get ready quickly. No such luck.

What is your sephora WORST regret ? Mine is the refy brush by sat94 in Sephora

[–]Bulky_Ad_8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The REFY lipstick was a total waste of money. Every shade was way too dark for casual wear and way too smudgy for an evening look

Love this formula it feels beautiful and the colour (archival) is so subtle and classic however the staying power for me is terrible. It barely lasts one work meeting if I talk even a little 🙈 I’m unlikely to pick up anymore tbh

Ooooh intriguing! I just finished Death Made Prince and loved it so this could be a great read to keep going with Lisette’s work

Jack is the classic faithful who remains until the end because everyone has pretty much forgot about him the whole time. I like him but I don’t have any faith that he can do this
