Last Makeup Product Finished: It is a tie between Mac Fix + and Burberry Nude Power: Sheer Luminous Pressed Powder (which sadly looks like its being discontinued from Sephora’s stock).

Last finished makeup product: I think that it was Maybelline’s Master Precise felt-tip eyeliner pen, if “dried up and replaced” counts as “finished”!

Last skincare product you finished: Zelens PHA + Bio Peel
Last makeup product you finished: Stila stay all day waterproof brow color
Last beauty product you repurchased: Dennis Gross Ferulic & Retinol eye serum
I have just finished watching the last YT video posted by Caroline Hirons; it’s a review of Zelens brand 🙂
Hey Nicole.. It’s an excellent line.. pricey, but quietly effective in the best way possible. I love the PHA pads because it is an acid which never ever ever angers my skin and I can use in winter without causing dryness. I also love the vit D oil which soothes whenever I have gone and done something too aggressive. I want to try the Vit A oil and the stem cell moisturizer. On my hit list. Oy.
I love Caroline.. she’s brilliant and funny and she is entirely responsible for teaching me proper skincare routine. I follow her am and pm protocols.
Hey Wwendy! I apologize for my late reply (it was a crazy day yesterday). Thank you so much for your recommendations. I already have on my list the vit D oil 🙂 I’m sure it will help my skin, especially after my bout with rosacea at the beginning of this year. Curiously, my rosacea was confined to my right side (the affected area took the shape of a triangle on my right cheek) and when it hit me I had it all (redness, flushing like crazy and pustules). Luckily, I was diagnosed very fast and received the proper treatment. Now I can walk without makeup if I want. I have to be extra careful though during our winters here in Montreal and protect my face with a good hydrating cream and with a winter scarf when it’s very cold and windy.
I love Caroline too. She’s so knowledgeable, a no-nonsense type of person and so down to earth. Her videos are like a treat for me; when watching them, I feel like having a chat with a friend over a cup of coffee (or cup of tea if it’s evening). I changed my skincare routine completely because of her.

Last beauty product you repurchased: Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
Hi Logan!
I’m with you on the UD primer. Did not see what so special about it, no matter how I tried.
MAC Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base does a much better job, I feel. NARS eye primer is also better than the UD one, IMHO.
Yep, we’re all very different — the Anti-aging Primer works really well for me. The standard one doesn’t, and I haven’t tried the others in the range, but UD Anti-aging is the only primer I need.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC 15, NARS Sheer Glow in Gobi
Last skincare product you finished: It’s Skin collagen eye cream. Works, affordable. Nothing to write home about.
Last makeup product you finished: UD 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil in Mood. Should have looked up Christine’s rating for it first. Not terrible, fully used it up, but it smudges a bit, despite its puprose. Do not recommend.
Last beauty product you repurchased: Lancome Effacernes Long Tenue concealer. Seems to be what my dry underye respond to the best, so decided to stick to it for the time being.
Last skincare product you finished: Almost teaching bottom of the Cera Vé face moisturizer I used everyday under foundation or as moisterizer. Huge jar proud of myself for almost finishing that thing. Will repurchase.
Last makeup product you finished: Elf mascara, Cover Girl mascara (in red slim tube can’t read name anymore).
Last beauty product you repurchased: A blush palette from Profussion newly introduced at Target. I like it! It has a pretty soft mauve and the other colors are beautiful too. Didn’t needed but love to try new stuff. 🙂
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Last skincare product you finished: I think it was a big sample packet of face oil or essence that I used after I got a sunburn in September. I don’t remember the brand. Boscia, maybe?
