Essence, anyone?

Just FYI, I noticed tonight that almost all Essence makeup is 30% off on Amazon tonight. I love several of these products and some have even won Allure awards. $3.49, award-winning, full size mascara or lipstick? Yes please! (No, I’m not affiliated but this is a great deal!)

Considering switching boxes from IPSY. Which to switch to?

I currently get IPSY (both Original and Extra). I like it, but I skipped March and doing that made me miss the Tatcha moisturizer I REALLY wanted in the April Beauty boost. 😭 So, in my frustration, I am considering trying something different for a few months at least, so I’ve got about $50 to “spend” if I go to a different box. Not sure which is the best box value though. Influence/deinfluence me… was strongly considering the Allure box but willing to consider alternatives. I like makeup and skin care products, especially K-beauty products, but I am very picky on my hair stuff and hate getting hair products. Thoughts?

April 2026 Extra

Boxed and unboxed :)

So far, not a huge fan of the sticky texture of the maracuja lip vinyl, in general, but the color is absolutely stunning and I think with a lip liner, it’ll be gorgeous.

I already know that I like the hydrating sunscreen milk, this was a replacement for one my mom absconded with, and I was looking for a good translucent powder so I’m glad I chose the lys. Love my Polite Society rose, though, so it will have competition there. I’ve never tried a lavender powder, so I’ll definitely be looking forward to that in the formula Z. The Dallas & James items were travel versions of two I have already in full size, but wanted them and the volume spray for an upcoming trip I’ll be going on. Definitely excited to try the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin lip/cheek. Last, I’m very intrigued about the Dr Lili Fan toner and eye serum.
