I use a Sacha Cosmetics powder with no fragrance, alcohol or silicones and my go-to highlighter is Tilbury's Filmstar (light).
I keep a backup MAC Studio Fix compact at home that I may use once a year or so now.


Eta I really need a silicone and alcohol free moisturizing lotion with Spf !

Thanks for sharing! Ugh, I'm useless with skincare. I don't know ingredients. I should probably find a silicone-free primer. I have crazy oily skin so I definitely need a good primer.

Me too...oil slick = no fun BUT less wrinkles! ;) ~ My go to routine since last year has been the Olay Instant Fix Wrinkle Revolution Complex. Fancy name for it's a daily primer! I combine that with the BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector. My makeup stays put, does not oxidize and I only have to blot a little bit during a full day of wear. Two things to note about the Olay is it does have a slight fragrance...but it does not irritate me. Also it has dimethicone and glycerin as ingredients.

So true! I approach any new skin care with serious caution...Like boschicka (I almost wrote boss lady! :D) above I really should look at the ingredients more...well I guess I do but I do not go super in depth. I just look for things I know will irritate my skin in any way.

That Becca primer breaks me out in my forehead area :(. The MUFE Step 1 Equaliser Mattifying primer is similar and doesn't wreak as much havoc on my forehead as Becca's. It still breaks me out but not with a one-off use. I'd have to be using it every day for it to do that.

That is a bummer! I use the Becca primarily over my nose area and inner face (pores baby...it sucks!). I guess I have been lucky to have no issues. I did try a sample of the Smashbox Pore Minimizing...It did not break me out, but I don't know that I ever saw any benefits from it's use. My Becca tube has lasted forever...so when it gets low, I will keep the MUFE in mind to try.

I love :heart: twirling!:twirl:
HELLLOOOO Neighbor!!!
:hand:It was a beautiful day for sure! And I was at work all day!

As for Christmas I do the holiday decorations over Thanksgiving weekend...It takes me 2 days to get the tree up and fully decorated...so many ornaments now...memories, stories, etc. You cannot just unwrap them and plop them on the tree.

Also, I have new studio/closet/office furniture coming! New storage for all my beauty stuffs! So I am full on fall dekraapifying all my clothing and again some of my makeup stash...so much work...but I am full on thrilled for grown up girl furniture!

I'm not sure I mentioned it before, but I am going to be a step-grandma!!! :D
