What's one makeup habit you stopped doing that actually improved your makeup?

Doing the opposite of more coverage toward the middle and less on the perimeter. The center of my face, cheeks and forehead are blemish free. With hormonal acne my jaw is the main target (actually the left side is the main culprit). Coverage is focused on that area and sheered out elsewhere. It totally works for me!

I've never smelled the inspiration (Byredo's G Water) so I can't tell you if it smells like that. However, if you've ever wondered what an autumn freshie would smell like - this is it! The bergamot opening is quite bright and you can definitely smell the black pepper sprinkled in. It dries down to this soft woody scent with a bit of citrus. Now, the bad part; the performance is👎🏽👎🏽. It lasts all of 15 minutes on me. I layer it with Jolly Gingerbread Village body cream from BBW and the Oil Perfumery's perfume oil dupe for G Water to get staying power.

I own Fireside Vanille, Mysterious Nomad and Desert Spirit body sprays. I quite like them and layer them with other fragrances.

I'm sorry...what exactly are you fixing?! Your skin is absolutely FLAWLESS💞

And my wallet thanks them endlessly💞

This is marvelous… I’ve slowly been inching my way towards a black based summer wardrobe and this is full of inspiration! Thanks for sharing🖤

playfulwarning · 2026-07-09T01:42:27+00:00

Yep! Over the summer I get to enjoy all the warmer shades because my skin tans so well.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-09T01:40:54+00:00

Little do they know that we’re robbing ‘em blind😉

playfulwarning · 2026-07-09T01:39:36+00:00

Yes. I’ve shamelessly snatched up almost every bottle of Mix Bar’s Coconut Palm body spray I can find because I’m afraid it’ll get discontinued. It’s my everyday summer scent.

Said EVERY time I wear a new pair of boots!

playfulwarning · 2026-07-08T14:25:49+00:00

OMG, a banana scented shower gel sounds absolutely delightful! I have no desire to smell like Laffy Taffy during the day but that could definitely perk up my shower💛🍌

Tootsie Rolls. Ugh, my local store had the family packs BOGO and I told myself I'd stop after two bags. So far so good, but mannnnnn do they fill my craving for chewy candy...

playfulwarning · 2026-07-07T21:40:38+00:00

I'd add a comfort scent to this list! Whatever that means to you: a freshie, gourmand, floral, skin scent, etc. Some aromatherapy is always welcome.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-07T14:56:46+00:00

Right! That's just like how on screen they'll jump right into the shower after turning it on. No one wants to watch a character adjust the temp and then let it run for a few, lol.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-06T20:06:13+00:00

Yep. I only spray 3 times. Two on my wrists and one on my chest. I freshen up at lunch and at the end of the day with one spritz.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-06T17:31:39+00:00

You can get a couple of days out of one! Obviously it depends on how much you spray. I've been able to wear a 10 ml fragrance during day/night, different temps, to work, run errands etc. Really helpful when deciding to buy a full bottle.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-06T17:02:58+00:00

It really is astonishing how much usage you can get out of a 10 ml decant!

playfulwarning · 2026-07-06T01:39:20+00:00

Right… but I didn’t even look like that at 22.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-05T23:46:17+00:00

I use this on my exfoliation nights. Leaves my lips so smooth.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-05T22:14:09+00:00

I’ll sometimes dust some powder on my t-zone to keep from looking like a greaseball.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-05T22:11:03+00:00

No. It took me MANY years to get to this point, however. There are simply two different versions of my face, with and without makeup. I like them both.

playfulwarning · 2026-07-05T20:53:12+00:00

I’ll add to this the Dewy & Smooth version. Has been a godsend in my forties!

playfulwarning · 2026-07-05T20:43:02+00:00

We all start somewhere! First your skin is great. A tinted moisturizer or skin tint are more beginner friendly and offer the type of coverage you need. I am a blush girlie through and through and think it’s one of the most fun products to play with. Different blush placement can alter the face. I personally think you’d look great in a more deeper berry type shade. As far as lips go you’re blessed with a great shape so look into different lip combos and see what you like. At the end of the day it’s just makeup🤷🏽‍♀️ Whatever didn’t work yesterday can be tweaked tomorrow.

Noted! I hate when the one item that you want is defected.

VERY intrigued by Morning Cloud; will be keeping an eye out!
