Your skin tone/coloring: Dark with golden undertones. MAC NC45, Urban Decay 9.0 or 10.0, NARS Macao
Favorite lip combo of the moment? I’m a one-lip-product kind of gal in the first place, and I haven’t really been wearing lip products lately!
One holy grail skincare product? Origins GinZing Eye Cream. It’s a staple!
What shampoo are you using currently? DevaCurl No Poo. Always. 🙂
Skintone/coloring: neutral, very fair
Fave lip combo: Rosey, dark, and bright mattes
HG skincare: spironolactone (a prescription pill that saved my skin from cystic hormonal acne)
Shampoo: TIGI purple shampoo
Hello! My answers are all over the place as the medication I was given also turned to give me awful negative side affects and I was just told to stop so I’m not quintessentially with a routine as I go through through this I’ll be happy to contribute what it would usually be! 😀
■ Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest/thin sensitive; color is added by the veining! 😀
■ Favorite lip combo of the moment? Any balms or lip treatments. My lips are a natural plum/red/purple. Maybe it’s just me, but when I’m sick, I don’t feel like putting germs to my luxury color lippies, I love them too much! And with the GORGEOUS acne from the meds.. Going deeper with my lip color just does not fabulousness make. 🙁 But hydration is super good! 😀 *Positive* A few of my favorites in rotation presently include whatever I can most easily reach and the following: Baume de La Mer, currently on me doing its thang, Tub Aquaphor, not the Aquaphor lippie squeeze tubes; they’re awful to my lips! Sara Happ Lip Slip, MJB Lip remedy, ( blanking on proper titles, sorry), Kevin Aucoin The sensual lip balm.. Everything is “sensual” with Kevin Aucoin.. AmorePacific Moisture Bound Lip Treatment, though I swear it leaves a film but I’m not sure if it’s me or film, and using up another Nivea kiss of moisture, royal blue stick container balm. I used to love those and baby lips, went right through them, now they do nothing for me so I finish them up by exfoliation, honey, and having to reach for them. After these are used up, I’ve a line waiting I cannot wait for! 😀 These are my combos I reach for now. God I’m long winded! 😛 But maybe it will help others, so I go for it. 🙂
■ One holy grail skincare product? Hydrating lippies/balm/treatment and WATER!
■ What shampoo are you using currently? I use a combination of a few great thorough cleanses with Sachajuan Scalp Shampoo, amazing, then Agave Smoothing shampoo/conditioner/oil, adds back moisture, softness, smooth hydration, fantastic, and then I go in with the Oribe Gold Lustre line for some fine pampering! Maintenance is very few wet washings for me and then with Agave oil and Oribe Soft dry conditioner as needed in between. Hair and scalp are better than ever for me with these products! 😀
How’s about you, Christine?
OMG I AM SO SORRY! I’m On a different device and DID NOT notice WHEN I clicked as a reply! I’m so sorry, Barbara! Hello! 😀 Im just going to leave it– It was meant as my own answer.. But you’re all pretty savvy so I thank you for understanding? :/
Your skin tone/coloring? cool and very fair, about mac nw15
Favorite lip combo of the moment? loving the viva glam miley lipstick and gloss together <3
One holy grail skincare product? st. ives timeless skin moisturizer
What shampoo are you using currently? renpure coconut cream shampoo
■Your skin tone/coloring: Fair (currently tanning)
■Favorite lip combo of the moment? Anything matte and nude! Would really like to try ABH Pure Hollywood and Milkshake!
■One holy grail skincare product? Lubriderm lotion
■What shampoo are you using currently? Bedhead Dumb Blonde
Oh man I can’t wait to try Anastasia liquid lipsticks! I hope Christine will be reviewing!
Your skin tone/coloring: light to light medium with yellow undertones (Chanel B20)
Favorite lip combo of the moment? Don’t have a fave combo! I’ve just been using lip chap lately, it’s really cold here right now (-44C) & I’ve been sick the past few days
One holy grail skincare product? Sunday Riley Crème Charisma Cleanser, it’s the first thing I use in the morning. It’s so gentle & wonderful & can be mixed with Good Genes to make a mask
What shampoo are you using currently? I have a few on the go! Lush’s BIG shampoo (unfortunately this has SLS in it & I’m considering not using it any more which is a shame because I think it’s a good clarifying shampoo, my skin is sensitive because of a mild skin condition), L’Oréal EverPure Volume Shampoo & Moroccanoil Volume.
Your skin tone/coloring: Neutral and pale, NARS Siberia, w/white mixer in the winter
Favorite lip combo of the moment? Bright matte blue-based pinks to deal with the winter blues
One holy grail skincare product? Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peels
What shampoo are you using currently? None! I exclusively co-wash
My skin is light.
Favorite lip combo: any caramel-colored lip stick with Marc Jacobs nude lip gloss.
Holy grail product: the Macro Exfoliator from Rodan&Fields. It gets my skin super smooth and takes off so much dead skin!
Shampoo: Japanese brand called Tsubaki.
What about you, Christine? It would be nice to read your responses as well!
Agreed!
Your skin tone/coloring: light warm
Favorite lip combo of the moment? Catrice Longlasting Lip Liner in Upper Brown Side + e.l.f. Lip Balm SPF 15 in Rose (super budgetproof!)
One holy grail skincare product? I have a few Paula’s Choice gems in my routine that I am totally hooked on
What shampoo are you using currently? I alternate between different shampoos, at the moment mostly between the Kérastase Densifique shampoo and the Wella Elementals shampoo.
Skintone/Coloring: Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.
Lip Combo: Either a tinted lip balm or MLBB shade. Lips are the least important thing-for *me*-in a daily/non-event look, so I just typically grab something randomly. Most of my “go-to” shades are MLBBs or pinky-nudes, so they pretty much all work equally…
Skincare: Oils! Jojoba, argan, coconut, grapeseed, etc… It’s been pretty cold lately (for SoCal standards), so my skin needs optimal moisture. I find pure non-petroleum oils tend to be fully absorbed by my skin, and I get the full benefit, as there are no synthetic chemicals to block absorption of the “good” ingredients. My skin gets the full benefit.
Shampoo: I usually just buy what’s cheap… I’m using Herbal Essences Rosehip-something… They were on sale 2/$6 a while back. My hair is fine with anything, although I do take care of it by not heat-styling on a regular basis, or use styling products.
Your skin tone/coloring: NW10/15
Favorite lip combo of the moment? Chanel Pirate over MAC Cherry lip liner or Chanel Giggle glossimer over a clear lip liner. I’ve been lazy lately, what can I say?

Favorite lip combo of the moment? Makeup Forever Lip Pencil in 3C with Makeup Forever 4N lipstick over it (from the 50 shades set)

I just started it two days ago, so I can’t comment on the efficacy yet. I also use a sulfate free shampoo from the beauty supply store for my wavy frizzy hair.

Favourite Lip Combo of the moment: You know, I very, very rarely actually combine my lip products, but I have actually been entertaining myself by using Guerlain Extrait de Rose (Rouge Automatique) as a ‘glitter topcoat’ for other lipsticks, with some success!
One Holy Grail Skincare Product: Rosehip oil! Not least because it doubles as waterproof makeup remover too, LOL! #studentrogue
Shampoo: Some Palmolive one. I really like it because it makes my hair feel light and clean, but still soft and not stripped.

I actually just switched up all of my skincare routine, but the origins ginzing moisturizer is so good for the day for wearing under makeup and not feeling to thick or greasy
Shampoo I don’t splurge on at all. I use honestly anything but I like the Aussie pure clean shampoo.

What shampoo are you using currently? OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo – this, and the conditioner, makes my hair feel so soft and very manageable.
1. pale with olive undertones
2. I do not like layering lip products on top of each other, as it makes them transfer even more. I keep drinking water every couple of minutes and the tranfers are killing me.

4. Head & Shoulders
Your skin tone/coloring: between fair and light; cool undertones, warm features

Favorite lip combo of the moment? Maybelline Touch of Spice with Buxom Dolly gloss
One holy grail skincare product? Olay foaming face wash- I don’t like to mess around with a separate makeup remover and this removes everything!
What shampoo are you using currently? Mane ‘n Tail- It’s for humans and horses!
> Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm undertones (NC 25)
> Favorite lip combo of the moment? Max Factor Lipfinity in Spiritual (an MLBB that wears like iron) to even out my lips then I apply one of those pesky glittery transparent GWP glosses (why don’t brands hand out different colors every once in a while?!) on top of it.
> One holy grail skincare product? Estée Lauder ANR. It made a difference (i.e. smooth out fine lines and plump skin) after the first use and continues to do so after over a year of daily usage. Big love.
> What shampoo are you using currently? Kevin Murphy Angel. Pricey but makes a huge different to my fine hair compared to drugstore shampoos.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light, warm
Favorite lip combo of the moment? hourglass icon lipstick. I have the matching lip pencil but not sure if it’s the best to use with it – it darkens it quite a bit and I like the brightness of the color on its own. I generally don’t put gloss over lipstick, unless I’m doing a nude lip (and even then I pat it way down).

However, my current go-to lip colors are from Colour Pop (Creature, Bichette, Pitch) for drama, or Performance Colors (Rumor, Pink Chocolate, Incognito) for more subtlety — about evenly split between all of them, as I change my look daily
