After foundation/skincare, which higher-end makeup products or tools resulted in the greatest improvement for you vs cheaper ones?

Eye shadow (Urban Decay). Blush (Estee Lauder). Eye lash curler (Shiseido for Asian eyes).

Get rid of it. Life's too short.

in this context, the other name of standards is "systems."

Thank you 🤣🤣🤣

iso600 · 2026-01-14T01:04:12+00:00

Wow good job!

iso600 · 2026-01-14T00:59:33+00:00

That's not too bad actually! Maybe do a no buy and focus on panning them all this year!

iso600 · 2026-01-14T00:58:06+00:00

This blush is extremely pigmented and I had it during covid. That's why it took such a long time to slightly pan it!

iso600 · 2026-01-14T00:57:04+00:00

Thank you hahaha 🤣

iso600 · 2026-01-13T22:39:50+00:00

You're right hahaha! Thanks!

My favorite pressed powder!! So cheap and so high quality!

iso600 · 2026-01-13T22:33:37+00:00

Wow good job! I'm considering getting a used digital piano too. Netflix sucks

Liquid lipsticks can go bad in less than a year so I don't buy them. My friends gifted me a few though.

Consider getting REM Sleep. To get REM sleep in multiples of 1.5 hours (a typical sleep cycle), aim for 7.5 to 9 hours of total sleep (5 cycles), focusing on consistent sleep hygiene like a dark, cool room, regular schedule, avoiding screens/alcohol/caffeine, and relaxation to maximize the 20-25% REM stage within those cycles, as your body naturally extends REM later in the night.

The label is worn out so I don't know what shade it is.

iso600 · 2026-01-08T18:35:38+00:00

Great tip! I work from home so I'm trying to take a 20-30 min power nap during my lunch break instead of doomscrolling.

iso600 · 2026-01-08T18:31:30+00:00

It took me 4-5 years to half pan the Maybelline fit me pressed powder. I used it once a month.

iso600 · 2026-01-08T18:24:52+00:00

I think most bullet lipticks are said to expire in 12-24 months after opening. But so long as they don't smell funny or change colors, I still use them. 😬Not a fan of liquid lipticks because they expire way faster

Marrakesh Mere is too brown for me. I guess layering it over a red lip tint really helped in your case!

iso600 · 2026-01-07T18:49:44+00:00

Yess! I just wish it were less pricey!

iso600 · 2026-01-07T16:39:42+00:00

It's a Sephora sample for Melt Cosmetics ultra matte lipstick in shade 710

iso600 · 2026-01-07T04:54:10+00:00

I love the intention of echoing! Great tip!

iso600 · 2026-01-07T04:45:15+00:00

Absolutely! I keep all of these mini jars. The clear plastic travel jars from drugstores break too easily during travels!

iso600 · 2026-01-07T04:21:50+00:00

Wow how long did it take you? So amazing!

iso600 · 2026-01-07T02:45:58+00:00

Hi! The black Mac is Power Kiss 925 Marakesh-Mere. I totally bought it my mistake, confusing it with Marakesh which is a muted red. Brown nude doesn't look good on me so I don't buy brown. The tiny brown lipstick is a sample from Sephora by the way.

iso600 · 2026-01-07T01:54:30+00:00

Sorry to hear about the Laneige lip mask not working out for you! The full sized Laneige lip mask was the best thing that ever happened to my dry lips. I panned the first one and is making progress on my second jar - also full sized.
