I can barely find brands like Wet ‘n’ Wild and NYX in drugstores, though I know they have distribution in some! I’d honestly love to see some of the overseas “drugstore” brand equivalents in U.S. drugstores (Sleek Makeup comes to mind).
ColourPop’s fall collection. Their theme was well-done and well-executed.
In this weekly feature, it's all about sharing your all-time favorites—what you'd recommend to others, what you've really enjoyed, and so on.
A good setting/finishing powder really does it for me, something like Guerlain Les Voilettes or Urban Decay Naked Loose Powder. I have normal-to-dry skin, and I don’t think my pores are particularly large/noticeable, so that’s enough for me.
Happy Wednesday! Here's this week's survey, which you can copy and paste and share as a comment.
I reach for thicker night creams, and I start getting better about using hydrating masks as my skin tends to get drier as the temperatures drop. This in turn means I tend to use foundations with more luminosity or a hydrating primer (really liking Hourglass’ 28 serum).

This might surprise you… but just a Jack Black Lip Balm and two Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lipglosses! I don’t usually keep much in my bag, and if I put anything extra in it, I take it out when I get home (usually something I’m testing).
I love them, but they’re super easy to make yourself, so it feels like a real indulgence spending $10+ on one. They always sell them in jars that are really quite large and take forever to finish! But I love the effect they have on my lips.
