Man, I have a lot of reading to catch up on here today! Y’all are chatty and I love it. ❤️

So I have several things to share:

  1. I am still planning to share pictures of my kitchen remodel, but two things have been holding me up. One, we still need to touch up the paint but are struggling to find an exact match for the color (it’s a lighter grey and the seller left cans in the garage, but we can’t find the exact shade yet because the whole house is varying shades of grey with white accents). So there are some rough patches on the walls that haven’t been fixed yet. Two, I was going to have everything super organized and show pictures of everything neatly put away, but I’ve been going back and forth with the company about the last organizers and I’m still working through finding places for a few things. So would y’all want to see pictures anyway knowing that it’s not 100% finished and organized, but like 98% there?

  2. I decided to replace my rolling plastic drawers with an IKEA Helmer unit and I’m so glad I did. It’s smaller, much more stable, and I can store all my nail polish standing upright. I still have plenty of space left even with all of my nail tools, nail polish remover, nail/cuticle treatments, stamping plates, wraps and so on in there. It’s such a good piece and still fits my skincare fridge on top.

  3. Sunday was my birthday! I’m old. ☠️ But the important thing is that my husband got me the new Pat McGrath Mothership VI palette AND the Natasha Denona Gold Palette AND and Mount Lai jade comb (amongst other non-beauty gifts). He’s the best at gift giving. I’d consider marrying him again.

  4. Speaking of my husband, thanks for asking after him yesterday! He got home safely after a very. long. drive. and we’re all good here in Texas. Our neighborhood saw a lot of rain but didn’t flood. (We bought this house last year and made sure that it didn’t flood during Harvey, so I feel mostly safe when these things happen.) Today it’s clear and beautiful, but given yesterday’s mess he stayed home to work and I’m very grateful that he has a job where he can do that now.

  5. Because he’s home today, instead of eating popcorn for lunch while my daughter screams at me, I was able to actually cook. So I just made some empanadas. 🥟 Yes, I realize that’s a potsticker emoji but it’s the closest I can find! We never like the same fillings so his are filled with refried beans, jalapeños, and cheese, and mine are knockoff humita filling with creamed corn (frozen kind with real cream, not the canned kind) and mozzarella cheese. They’re super easy to make, you can buy the dough rounds at the grocery store (I like the Goya puff pastry kind), fill them with anything, seal them up by pressing the edges together, poke a hole for the steam, and bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes. They’re amazing with some pie filling or Nutella too.

Any advice on getting a discount on a gym membership?

New to getting back into skincare and makeup so I was happy to try Juice Beauty as they seemed like a crunchy, yummy brand and mostly I just wanted to smell like Jolly Rancher candy while glowing, naturally. I kept hearing good things about their mask and I really wanted the body lotion. So when the promotion came around I took the plunge. I think I still like the product (have not had a reaction yet) and I like the looks of the ingredient list (but what do I know?!?) but I really get a drugstore vibe from the product and the packaging. I can’t get over how incredibly inflated the price is. The Green Apple line doesn’t smell like apples (and yet here I am complaining of a DS vibe, typical Gemini). I would describe the Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Moisturizer as a basic to mid-range moisturizer-in-a-tub. Again, YMMV, but for $25 an ounce, the glass jar isn’t fooling me. At $44 an ounce, Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Over Night Cream is heavy, greasier than I am used to, still doesn’t smell like fruit and comes in a space-age plastic jar with a pump on top. So, if you’re a germaphobe like me and want your products that come in tubs to be less exposed to grime and oxygen, you can pick up this handy refillable on Amazon. It is double walled and many reviewers complain of the bulkiness. I don’t have counter space and just a regular med cabinet, so I am looking for a similar airless pump that takes up less room. When I checked out the Juice Beauty products at WF, it seems like the products carried at Ulta are a different variety and ultimately seem to be “glammed up.”

Looking for small, refillable containers for my minimal-storage bathroom. I prefer airless pumps. I keep finding options on Amazon but none that I love.love.love. I was looking to buy singles in beautiful glass at WF but my store only has two options, neither of which are airless pumps, and I’m hoping that with a variety of sizes/colors that I can forgo labels on my everyday items. Here are the bath product storage and containers that I have had for a few years that I’m happy with. I put balm in this one. Looking to continue with this bamboo/natural aesthetic for skincare containers. I also picked up some airless liquid pumps at the dollar store to hold micellar, remover and rubbing alcohol that I am happy with.

Also, since I have both travel size and original or jumbo size containers of products like sunscreen, I would like to find a suitable pump or syringe to refill my travel size containers. I keep reading reviews of syringes that clog or fail after a few uses. I know there are other subs I should direct this question to but just wondering of anyone here has any recs.

Last but not least, saw this wallpaper at Target. My walls are too textured but would love to find a similar product or contact paper to put inside my medicine cabinet. Inspired by a post I saw earlier this week. I get so excited by certain things no matter how small, eek.

I love Shiseido's senka mineral water uv gel. It fluctuates between $6-8 for 40 mL on amazon. It's very thin/watery, doesn't leave a whitecast as far as I can tell, isn't greasy on my combo/oily skin.

I also like Nivea's sun protect water gel (not super protect), which I can't find on amazon anymore for some reason. It has the texture/finish of Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing gel for oily/combo skin.

Ah, thank you! I should have checked the Ask Us Anything threads first. I love how yours turned out. The outer shape of those palettes is so nice.

My situation is a little bit different. I got that Saucebox collection that's 32 individual shadows, each 1.5 inches in diameter, and they high-key need a home. Thought about getting a few regular sized palettes and breaking it up to make it more manageable, but landed on this gigantic monster.

If it doesn't work for the shadows I guess I could make it into a nice coffee table. 🤣

I’m sure it will come back sooner or later. Maybe in a slightly different style or color.

Meanwhile, if you search for ‘makeup brush set’ on Amazon, you will find tons of sets with near-5-star reviews for around $15, and some even under $10!

I have heard really good things about this set. - I own just the stubby kabuki from this set and it is excellent.

Here’s one with white bristles (also comes in purple!)

And there’s even a unicorn set .

So really - lots of choices out there. I would just read the reviews carefully. There’s even an app that can tell how how many of the Amazon reviews are fake. I forgot the name of the app, though.

Update: OK, it might be fakespot.com
I’d just heard about it online. I don’t know if this is the app I’d heard about.

(According to Fakespot, the first 2 sets have reliable reviews; the unicorn set does not).

Hi everyone,

What are your favorite vanity top/countertop makeup mirrors with lights? I'd like one that plugs in and magnification is not necessary.

This is my current mirror: https://www.amazon.com/Conair-Double-Sided-Lighted-Makeup-Mirror/dp/B003JFBXMM

And this is an example of the type of vanity that I have: https://www.amazon.com/BEWISHOME-Cushioned-Dressing-Dividers-Organizers/dp/B07NZZQYTX

I would like to have something larger and brighter than what I have. I don't have much natural lighting in the room. I'm open to anything really. My budget doesn't go up to Simple Human mirror level price but I have some leeway. I'd love to hear everyone's recommendations!
