Missha Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule. I've been using Glossier Hyaluronic Acid + B5 serum at night since January, but they're out of stock, so I'm going to try something new.

To each, their own, but I too find it puzzling how one can spend so much time and effort in making the skin look and function as beautifully as possible, only to cover it in makeup. To me, the end game is the elimination of foundations/powders etc. If your tone and texture is beautiful on its own, additional coverage is superfluous.

...also Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream and a backup of Glass Skin Refining Serum (I hear that stuff sells out, too).

Malin&Goetz Detox Mask I have used this for years and the new one must be my sixth one bought over that time. I ran out and did have another mask I started but had to get my Detox Mask when I spotted SpaceNK open.
The packaging is plain and many ignore it but I adore it. I have sensitive skin and the acids do not work for me but this does. Oh and it smells like almonds.

Pat McGrath Divine Rose Palette, I have dithered over this one since its release. Then dithered over the Divine Rose II Palette when the Pat McGrath site sale was on. Made a decision and as II was sold out bought the original DR one.

Peach & Lily Wild Dew Treatment Essence. I really like this brand and I'm currently on an essence kick; I think it's my favorite part of the whole routine, which is funny because I found it superfluous for a long time.
So I get an email from Dior to tell me they have revamped the Dior 5 colours eyeshadows new colours and textures. As I had bought directly from them before I received the early release email to order.
Bought Mizah which is leopard browns and gold and Rouge Trafalga reds.

Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder (I really like Herbivore's Blue Tansy mask but if I ever get back to work, I know I'll want a quicker 3-4x/week exfoliant, and this is a lather, rinse, and you're done type of thing.)
Glow Recipe Papaya Sorbet Cleansing Balm, Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask and Eye Sleeping Mask (the latter two are replacing my RoC night cream).
Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub (I've been on and off with full body exfoliation since I was a teen and this stuff is the best I've yet tried. Coffee isn't the harshest of exfoliants and it gets the job done with no irritation, plus it contains oils that do actually soften my skin for longer than just the duration of my shower. However, lol, the marketing is cringey as h***.)

Earlier in the year, Pat McGrath had a sale on her site and I did buy the mini palette but got refunded over the lipstick which was sold out.
Last week I spotted Deep Orchid on eBay starting price cheaper than PMcG sale and won at the starting price. The weird thing it turned out to be the limited edition pink packaging that had been on sale at PMcG site.
DONNA
Peach & Lily Glass Skin Veil Mist and a refill of Power Calm cleanser, refill of Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, and MAC Powder Kiss lipstick in Stay Curious. MAC's spring collection disappeared from everywhere before I could get my hands on one of the featured lippies, called Baroque the Internet, and that saddened my lipstick loving hort. I'm sure covid had a little something to do with this. Anyway, in Ulta today, I saw a new display for these Powder Kiss soft focus mattes, and Stay Curious looked like it might be a similar shade (and I think Baroque was the same formula, only in a clear matte finish tube, as opposed to black).
Didn't use the cucumber one that much as i wasn't out in the sun as much as i've wanted so didn't see a need but have been using the heck out of this pumpkin enzyme one. smells great.
Just thought i'd drop back in here and let everyone know i received an email today that said they're doing 30% off site wide with code "SAVE30"
Don't stank.
SpaceNK were doing their spend £60 and get £15 off the other week and I bought Algenist Collagen Liquid.

I almost pulled the trigger on that Pat Magrath set you mentioned in an earlier post, because hot damn I love her eye palettes. I also saw Mitzah today, which was *very* tempting, and probably will be coming home with me soon.
I did get some Charlotte Tilbury stuff—CT basics, like black eye pencil, Pillow Talk and Pink Venus Lip Cheat, Hollywood Filter, and the Magic Cream, which is awfully good stuff, just the right weight for my taste. It could save me a fortune on La Mer. I also reupped my precious Estée Lauder repair serum, picked up a tube of Chanel Les Noirs mascara (they sent me a sample with my last fragrance purchase, and I loved it). Also filled out my Urban Decay palettes—Naked Ultraviolet, Naked Reloaded, Naked Honey (I really do love these palettes—great payoff for the money), plus a Too Faced Pumpkin Spice palette, and It cosmetics’ BB cream, as my treasured cheapie Maybelline is darn near empty. I’m not nuts about full coverage foundation unless I’m doing really heavy club makeup that has to survive dinner, a work night until at least 4am, whatever after party happens, and only a solid spackle holds together all that sculpting and lighting
Plus a couple of drug store goodies—a Maybelline City Mini eye palette and my favorite St Ives Green Tea scrub. The latter in particular overperforms, and it costs less than 10 bucks for a big tube. It was recommended to me by a number of skin care professionals, and also by a couple of my doctors, one of whom was an Olympic hurdler and still is a gym rat. His skin always looks fantastic, and we both have slightly oily skin despite our being personnes d’un age certaine. I can’t recommend it highly enough, if you have even the slightest tendency to breakout, or just want something that really brightens your skin. It’s much better than their old apricot scrub (they still make that, but it has those weird oversized apricot kernel pieces). The green tea one has a very fine scrub consistency, and it also smells great, not heavily perfumed but with a deliciously fresh scent.

I just bought a matching Urban Decay set that I’ve been eyeing for a long time—Mrs Mia Wallace lip liner and lipstick. It was a blind buy, and I wonder what it’s going to look like on me. The color looks, appropriately, like a dark 90s kind of vampy red. Interesting choice of marketing, as I think it’s pretty obvious that Uma Thurman/Mrs Mia is putting on Clinique Black Honey (old ribbed alternating matte and silver tube—I miss it) in the scene where she is, ahem, powdering her nose, putting on her lipstick, and talking to Vincent Vega over the home intercom speaker. I’ll report when I have tried it. But I needed a vampy red that isn’t too gothy, and this one looks fun.

Estee Lauder long ago discontinued my favorite powder blush color (Desert), and for the past 5 years I've been scrounging little travel sizes and GWP samples of it on eBay. But I just found a seller who had 4 full-size boxes of it and bought them all. Hooray -- these will be probably last me 5 or 6 years!

After winter, my skin is like the scales of a snake - it is too dry, peeling. I’m not used to constantly using body creams and lotions. I use it only when necessary. My order came over the weekend - Reshape + Body Lotion. After a couple of days of use, there is no irritation, it does not cause allergies. Hope the skin condition gets better.
