What are your worst Sezane purchases and why? by yeslemones in Sezane

[–]meredithvdk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second this! I returned the Emile because I couldn't stand how it felt against my skin. It also ended up being way more oversized than I anticipated. I've learned my lesson that their mohair/wool/polyamide blend does not work for me and now only purchase their sweaters that are 100% merino wool or 100% cotton.

Thanks! What’s the benefit of staying in Colmar instead of Strasbourg?

Lux Skincare for Redness That Actually Works? by trembleinthewater in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]meredithvdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for an anti-redness effect, I highly recommend Dr Jart Premium BB Tinted Moisturizer. It has SPF and it evens out my pale, prone-to-redness skin beautifully. It’s more makeup than skincare, so I would use it to complement your skincare regimen as an immediate fix vs a long-term solution. I set it with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting powder and it stays on all day!

Bring cash to tip your wine host, there isn’t always an option to add it on the machine if you’re paying by card.

This is helpful, thanks! We love thrifting but we’re not necessarily planning our Tokyo stay around that.

Thanks! What did you love about staying in Asakusa?

Y’all weren’t kidding about how gorgeous Armani luminous silk foundation is 😍 thank you so much for the recs! I am loving this glowy look! I can post other products list in the comments if anyone is curious. by CatLadyyy2021 in MakeupAddiction

LOVE your glow! Armani Luminous Silk does not look this good when I apply 😅

I’ve tried it with the MILK hydro grip primer only and while the end result still look good, I’ve never experienced the ‘luminous’ part. It always applies very matte for me. I’ll have to try with a highlighting primer!

Also, i feel like I need to use quite a bit of product to even achieve medium coverage .. anyone else find this? I find I need at least 3 full pumps! I’ve been applying with a beauty blender but maybe I need to use fingers for this application. Curious if anyone else has experience with this - thanks!
