I love the BB tin lip balm; it’s my usual overnight balm as you can build up a nice layer and it stays on overnight. I need to get a new one, but they haven’t been in stock online at Sephora lately for some reason.

Deborah S. Avatar

Skin tone: Fair with cool undertones, NW5-10 with grey hair and deep brown eyes.

Last blush I wore was Ciate London Glow to Illuminating Blush in Baby Doll. I like mixing my highlighter with blush so these blushes work well for me. I feel like I get a better outcome on my older, dry and textured skin when I either mix traditional blush with highlighter or use one that is already mixed.

Last eyeliner I used was Nabla eyeliner in Crystal from the Freedomination release.

Last lip balm was Aquaphor. I ran out of the Nuxe Reve de Miel and since it isn’t sold at Target anymore I have to order on-line. I did hear that they are phasing out of the U.S. market so will have to see if I can still find it in the future. I have the Jack Black one but don’t care for it much and haven’t tried the Clarin one yet. Everybody says it is amazing.

Last blush you wore? CdP Perfect Peach cream blush

Last eyeliner you used? CdP new pen liquid liner in black

Last lip balm you used? I actually wore Eve Lom Demure today for a bit of color, but my new discovery is the Fresh Caramel lip balm. Apart from smelling amazing, it lasts a long time on the lips (multiple beverages and eating) and provides nice hydration and is buildable for a thicker layer overnight. I like the Sugar balms, but I don’t think you can build it up enough to provide overnight hydration that will last.

Last blush you wore? Nars deep throat.
Last eyeliner you used? The black Maybelline gel/cream eyeliner that comes in a pot, can’t think of the name right now.
Last lip balm you used? I think it’s important to use natural products when it comes to lip balm (think about how much is ingested and all of the unknown chemicals some contain). I use the Alba Botanica Hawaiian Lip Balm in pineapple and passion fruit interchangeably every day.
