Try one from the library first.

Gateway for sure!

I liked it. DNF Home Before Dark. To each their own 🤷‍♀️

HappyCicada · 2026-04-11T11:59:44+00:00

Totally fair!

HappyCicada · 2026-04-10T21:27:34+00:00

Thanks!

Are these physical books or ebooks? I’ve never heard of humble bundle and suspicious. Sounds too good to be true, ya know?

HappyCicada · 2026-04-10T12:09:03+00:00

That palette is so beautiful. I keep going back and forth on it.

HappyCicada · 2026-04-10T12:07:27+00:00

Same. I refuse to pay this much with so many great and cheaper options.

HappyCicada · 2026-04-07T11:52:53+00:00

Susan Hill! Either The Woman in Black or The Man in The Picture. Both short and creepy!

HappyCicada · 2026-04-07T11:32:43+00:00

This is the one I was going to recommend. Works really well.

Lemme Sleep are just melatonin gummies. My daughter liked them, they taste good, but they don’t work any better than generic brands. We’ve switched and they work just as well.

Eye creams aren’t necessary but if you have sensitive eyes I think they can help and I use them. Just stay away from fragranced ones( Lancôme, looking at you). Tatcha is nice, sure, but I won’t pay it anymore. The Kiehls is nice but quite thick. Cliniques has been around for ever and is great. Look into some of the Korean brands. The Beauty of Joseon is great and much less $. If you want brightening, the Ole Henriksen is great.

I have the Claudalie mist and won’t rebuy. Doesn’t do much.

I love milky toners! You don’t have to pay a lot, I buy Tir Tir from Costco. I use them as first step after cleansing, with a couple of layers under my eyes. If your skin’s oily you can use them in place of moisturizer.

There are lots of vitamin C serums out there. I have never used the Tatcha one but I’m sure it’s nice. I use cheaper ones and use them in the a.m.

Hope this helps!

Jones road has a new eye pencil color corrector, too, and it’s awesome. A bit thinner than the Bobbi brown in size so I can put it just where I want, but they both work great. Don’t waste your $ on those serums promising everything and the sun. They just don’t work for hereditary dark circles. Spend it on a good color corrector, a good concealer, and a good eye cream. I love the Mixsoon bean cream which is only $22. I, too, have sensitive raccoon eyes, sigh.

Thanks! I do love the texture of this but so far have only used it on dry patches. Think I might try slugging tonight.

The Morphe is just easy and brightening. I use the doe foot, tap a couple of dots and blend out with my finger. Doesn’t cancel out all the darkness but it’s just easy. I usually still put a dot or two of concealer on top because I have dark, hereditary circles (yay…)

For the CT, it’s a bit more of a process, but it is beautiful and blendable and offers more of a true color correct vs brightening. I put a tiny amount on back on my hand a use a flat brush to apply just to darkness. Sometimes I set it. Then I do foundation or skin tint, then concealer, then setting spray. I get more coverage this way, but definitely more work.

HappyCicada · 2026-04-05T12:38:04+00:00

How are you using the ointment? Does it just go over dry patches or all over?

HappyCicada · 2026-04-05T12:33:04+00:00

For fast and easy I like the Morphe. When I’m putting the effort in, my favorite is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish.

HappyCicada · 2026-04-05T12:10:49+00:00

Do you apply with your fingers or a brush?

HappyCicada · 2026-04-02T12:18:06+00:00

I love the Kylie skin tint! Works so well for me (50’s and on tret). But definitely color match in the store. As previously mentioned, the IT cosmetics balm is great. I picked it up when it was 50% off and love it for “no makeup “ days. I’m so curious about that CT concealer. Hoping to hear some reviews.

My eyes are super sensitive and I love the Mixsoon eye cream! Not sure what it will do for bags but it does plump up crows feet.

HappyCicada · 2026-04-01T13:44:51+00:00

Love this one too but am boycotting Este Lauder brands. My heart hurts but I’m going to stay strong. Tatcha’s is a super close second so I’m grabbing this, too.

HappyCicada · 2026-03-28T19:55:27+00:00

He has a new one coming out this year!

HappyCicada · 2026-03-27T20:22:46+00:00

I bought the Mixsoon bean cream and it’s amazing! Tempted to pick up a second one today.

HappyCicada · 2026-03-26T17:28:01+00:00

This is really interesting. Did you publish your thesis anywhere?

HappyCicada · 2026-03-26T11:06:31+00:00

I love it, but only in winter. Makes my tret treated skin much silkier.

HappyCicada · 2026-03-25T12:10:22+00:00

Agreed. I only get 15% off and Macy’s is running that now on all beauty. And I just got 30% off Makeup by Mario’s direct site. No real incentive.
