Uh...mmmm...aaaahhh...not so much strong will power. I think different mindset.
I still want all the pretty things all the time! But I am working on being mindful about using what I have.
In the meantime, I am making my must/lust list and I am saving some pennies for a spring splurge.

Yup, pretty much it! That's wisdom. I haven't bought near as much makeup this last year than in previous years.

I just got the red marbled lipstick this morning & I LOVE it on!!! On me, it is the prettiest strawberry red. I'm so happy I got it.

Yay!! Pictures, please?

thankfully I do not have sensitive eyes and many brands have scented mascaras - guerlain, ysl... but this one scent really lingers for a while i can smell it. So for those with sensitive eyes I would say be cautious.

Thank you so much Monsy your blog post answered all my questions/concerns. Your photos make me want to buy it even though I am so allergic to scented mascaras. I would love to splurge on a luxe mascara that gives the same results as YSL The Shock but without the damn scent!!!!

 

[Monsy]

you are welcome. I think scent started fading after couple of weeks but my eyes started itching a bit last couple of times i wore it which is unusual since my eyes never used to be sensitive

Finally got the Lip Perfector and picked up the Shock palette as well

I think it's cool YSL now has a brow pen, if anyone gets it do share your experience with it

Has anyone tried the Kiss and Blush Duos? I tested them today and really liked #1 and #5. They feel really smooth and easily sheered out or built up. I tried them on my hand and would use them on my cheeks only if I bought any.

I just got a nice size sample of the Shock mascara. I hope I like it. NM is offering a very nice gift with purchase packet with a $50 purchase. It has the Shock mascara, a nice size sample bottle of the Blue Serum (which I've tried & really like) Cle de Peau brightening serum & something oil cleansing Kiehls.

Monsy - did you ever get a sample of the Chanel Blue Serum? I've tried it all this week for the first time & it really smooths & gives the skin a wonderful texture with some radiance.

I got couple of tiny samples maybe tried it three times. It's ok but I am not crazy about it. Too light for me I think doesn't give me any hydration. Maybe it would be better in the long run

Yes, I agree. Definitely no added hydration. For me it was more just smooth skin texture. I just ordered one of those new Sulwhasoo Makeup Balancer in #1 pink. There are 3 of them - pink, lavender & green. I'm curious about this product

not to use alcohol by now! <------obviously, I'm still having the typing issues lol
Thanks! Don't you think that they would know

 

[Winthrop44]

I don't think they care. They just want it to smell good and feel light. What gets me peeved is that they do know better if you look at the ingredients in Solution 10 that they formulated with a derm.

I guess so. Do you know if the Solution 10 is any good?

I have it and like it. It is good. Very gentle. It might not be moisturizing enough for winter so I am keeping my bottle for warmer months.

 

[Monsy]

sorry I thought you asked me lol

I agree with Monsy. It's great for sensitive skin, very gentle & calming, and I know it's not doing anything negative to my skin which imho is half the battle. I add an oil my skin likes or a serum to increase the moisture level when I need to. I'm constantly looking for a less expensive bland dupe, and have been using Avene Tolerance Extreme Cream instead for awhile for this reason....but I still come back to it if I feel like I messed up experimenting with actives because I think the white tea extract is really calming. I wish they would come out with a serum without alcohol & fragrance for the line, although I imagine it would cost an arm and a leg. I did a Live Chat on chanel.com one day with the derm who helped develop Solution 10 and it sounded like they were working on additional products, but who really knows.

ETA: If you think you'll really use it the larger bottle is a bargain compared to the regular one.
