Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Favorite look you worn: On Wednesday, I did an eye look using UD x Kristen Leanne Kaleidoscope that had me oohing and ahhing! Eyes: MAC Orb browbone, Kid transition, Viseart Chroma shade 2 (deep black-brown) to create a gradient into Kid blown out an up, UD 13th floor on entire lid from lashline into the black-brown shade, Leo applied over most of 13th floor, except for crease and outer V, Brixton in tear duct. On lower lashline, again 13th Floor and Leo, plus some smudged MJ Blaquer underneath. Very winged eyeliner on upper lid using my HG Essence Midnight In Paris Gel Liner, curled lashes and mascara. Kept cheeks and lips a more toned down peachy nude tone.

Most used product of the week: Definitely UD x Kristen Leanne Kaleidoscope Palette!

Any new beauty discoveries: That at nearly 59, I can *still* rock a very deep, dark, smokey eye look and somehow not look ridiculous? ?

My skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool
Favorite look you wore: easy/peasy looks again this week – from Tarte Aqualillies, Barefoot all on the mobile lid and Sundeck in the crease; Sephora Cappuccino to line and Marc Jacobs skinny liner in Blacquer on the upper waterline; MAC Brick-o-la on my lips and, for a change, an IT Cosmetics blush that came in a CC face trio a few years ago
Most used product of the week: Sephora Cappuccino liner (it’s one of my go-to’s)
Any new beauty discoveries: I “rediscovered” Clinique’s Jenna’s Essentials eyeshadow quad (I think they may have discontinued it, which is a shame) and MAC Brick-o-la (I really want to finish it before it goes “off”)

My skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Favourite look you worn: Yesterday I used the most beautiful olive shade – Spectacular from the bareMinerals duo The Scenic Route, with Hustle and Half baked from UD Naked 1 and it was very pretty.
I paired it with my new EA lipstick Cayene Pearl – a lovely russet shade.

Most used product of the week: All my stapes – Elf Flawless foundation in porcelain, Clarins Prodige blush in soft peach, Naked 2 and Clarins Jolie Rouge lipstick in Cinnamon Spice.

Any new beauty discoveries: That I love it when our Budget beauty shop Priceline has a 40% off all skincare sale!

Sorry to report a dull week for me with color cosmetics . I have been doing a lot of playing with all my new skin care purchases from The Ordinary and Algenist . Basically I’m seeing how many The Ordinary products I can pile on without irritating my skin ! I did try the Tarte Maneater eyeliner and liked it s lot .

?. A lot. I’ve done at least 4, and prob with other products. Always choose the waterbased, but i’m aged/oily/dehydrated…and now psoriatic. Don’t get me started.

Most used product of the week: Besides my dailies, Kat von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation. My cystic acne mega-attach is clearing up, but still there, so I downgraded coverage slightly. Also, my Coastal Scents Shadow Pot palette I put together. I always seem to be using those bright mattes for something.

Any new beauty discoveries: Igneous Cosmetics (Etsy) came out with a vegan, matte eyeshadow collection earlier in the month. The colors are gorgeous and the texture is amazing. I’m so impressed with how great they are.

Can’t right now, esp eye looks, but I do concealer as tolerated. (Psoriasis) Dead is not a good look, unless it’s on purpose. It hit my vermilion border (lip line; my inner slp is showing.). Enough OTS. I wanted to tell the reader that was looking for tubing masc, sorry, I don’t remember who: There is a new tubing by Eyeko on Ulta, if you use them. It’s called YOGA and has one of the stranger brushes out there. I like the other eyeko (Black magic/ dark navy) that I have, and have hopes for yoga.
