We Discuss: New Beauty Product Recs.

M: Oh I have a new product rec!

A: Yay!

M: Wait but first is Goop involved with Supergoop?

M: Because if so, dammit.

A: Nope!

M: Whew

M: This stuff:

A: Oooh

M: I think this is even better than IT Cosmetics

A: Oh, awesome

M: It’s more matte which is nice when it gets hot

M: Not too thick

M: It’s spf 35 not 50 which is the only downside

M: But I think it holds up better

A: Oh, this sounds really promising

M: And THEN I heard about this:

A: Oh damn

M: Which you can spray right over your makeup later in the day

M: And it re-ups your sunscreen!

M: Without fucking up your makeup! What?!

A: This is the answer to my prayers because I ride after work and don’t have a way to reapply easily

M: I know!!

A: Genius

M: Their sunscreen oil is nice too

A: It’s allll about the sunscreen

M: Summerrrrrrrrr ILU

A: Yaaaasssss

M: Anyway I have only used the CC cream for three days but so far so good

M: I think it would be drying in winter possibly

A: I will definitely have to get a sample of this stuff

M: Not shiny, good coverage, A+

M: I use a Beauty Blender to apply

A: I have given up on the BB

M: I am suddenly into it

M: I use it for concealer and that cream blush too

A: I’m just old Fingers McGee over here

M: It makes the coverage so smooth and even

M: I smear it on with fingers and then blend

A: I’ve just never had much luck with it but maybe I’m doing it wrong

M: I use the Real Techniques one

M: And the coolness of the damp sponge feels nice? I don’t know. After years of using brushes suddenly I’m into it.

A: I’ll probably give it another try at some point

M: 4 days in and this CC cream hasn’t made me break out so it’s a winner

M: And someone complimented my skin and said it was annoying that I don’t even need foundation so win win win

A: THAT IS GOLD.

A: I need to buy this stuff stat

M: I mean that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me

A: Awwww

M: Hahaha

A: I still remember the nicest compliment I ever got and it was 15 years ago

M: Not really but it’s basically my makeup goal

A: I mean, that IS the goal

A: I wish I’d known about this before I made my last Sephora order

M: I’m sorry

M: I bought it from Amazon because that was easiest

A: Oops, It’s sold out on Sephora anyway

M: Aha

M: I’m going to wait and get the setting spray for my birthday but that’s next for sure

A: Did you get the light/medium?

M: Yes and it’s a touch dark but I was accounting for one day getting enough sunlight to alter the tone of my skin which is a foolish notion.

A: Hmm. I don’t know which color to get

A: If the light/medium is a little dark on you, it’ll be too dark for me

M: Well I will say I thought it was a touch dark in the tube but on me it really matches.

M: So idk

A: I might try to get a couple of samples first. The internet is super conflicted about the colors.

A: Also, did I tell you I bought that dumb foot file thing that Kim France posted about?

M: No!

A: 

A: It takes some time but my sad lizard feet look way better. It’s good stuff.

M: Ooh nice.

A: How sad is my rec? So sad.
