Although I wouldn't necessarily suggest the exact one that I bought. It had a few scratches, etc. when I got it. I thought I'd share the concept of it though because I think it's a quite elegant solution when you don't have the space for a full vanity. There are quite a few products with the same idea at different price points and with slight design variations for sale online though!

I suck at photoshop. But it's clearly the face make-up that's important. The hair doesn't mean anything.

Amazon amazingly!! It’s $75 so it’s a bit expensive, but compared to most lit mirrors it wasn’t that bad because they were all around $200. It plugs in too which I needed because I’m in an apartment and can’t wire anything. Came with everything to set it up. Just have to have a drill and hammer (-:

Nicely pigmented and pretty darn cheap and easy to make, it's something I'll definitely be experimenting with more. The basic recipe is 1 crayon to 1/2 tsp. shea butter and 1/2 tsp. olive oil all melted down together. Easy peasy!

From left to right the lipsticks are made from the following Crayola crayons from a 64 pack. (Well, the first one was just a bunch of scraps of red, purple, and gold. Sorry about that!) Then was 2/3 red violet, 1/3 gold; lavender; tickle me pink; carnation pink; melon; salmon; wild strawberry; and 3/4 violet red, 1/4 gold.

Lip swatches here: https://imgur.com/a/TZwZn

Protips; USE CRAYOLA. Crappy crayons (looking at you, RoseArt) won't do the job. You will need a lip brush to apply these. I did it with my fingers and could not manage a clean/even application but still love them. Also, while these colors are fairly matte, I've found that a quick swipe of cheap gloss makes them just as shiny and wonderful as any expensive gloss lipstick. Oh and have a ton of paper towels on hand. Everything I own is covered in shea butter. Totally worth it.

IIRC several posters here and elsewhere had their account banned without exceeding the purchases.

Overall, even if they did only ban accounts exceeding the limit and it's just a coincidence that it was mostly asian sounding names and chinese domains, they handled it extremely poorly.

Are you that stupid, that you will make a claim and feign horror without even doing background research? Here is the Oxford Dictionary definition of tanorexia. Please do not speak so rudely to another human being, whether it be in person or on the internet, in trying to get a point across. Matter-of-fact research is much more influential than calling strangers stupid for no reason.

I wouldn't normally do this and I've already posted on r/indiemakeupandmore, but when I saw this post about the eye palettes for Tangled, I knew I had to speak up :)

Tangled is one of my favourite movies (and I pretty much have every line memorized) and I started a little Etsy shop selling tinted lip balms and eyeshadows. I knew for my first eyeshadow collection it had to be something spectacular so I decided to do one based off of Tangled! :D :D :D :D :D and yes, there's an eyeshadow named 'The Smolder'

Take a look! I've already posted this on /r/indiemakeupandmore but if you use the code Reddit20 you can get 20% off your purchase until February 1st.

PS: mods if this isn't allowed let me know and I'll remove it.

EDIT: 8:07PM EST. WOW!!! I just got inundated with orders. Thanks everyone sooo much for their support! Unfortunately I am now running low on supplies since I didn't think this would take off so quickly so I need to order more. Shipping is usually pretty fast so I should get more soon but my current turnaround time as of now will be one week from now until I can get more in! So sorry!!!!!

I use Isehan Kiss Me Heroine Make waterproof long and curl mascara and I'm OBSESSED. I avoided this mascara forever, but now it's my holy grail.

I struggle with my mascara rubbing off on my lower lids all the time, but this mascara holds a curl all day and never flakes off. It makes my eyelashes look SO LONG, and I'm Asian, with normal, straight lashes.

I think they’re referring to something like colour switch . It’s essentially a sponge in a pan that removes eyeshadow from your brush in between colours.

Hi there, I have this bag too and have used it as a gig bag traveling to different jobs as a MUA.

I do have to warn you that while the bag is awesome, the metal on the straps will literally break, and your bag will crash to the ground with all your stuff. TWO of the metal pieces broke. Carrying it by the handle is safer, but it will eventually warp the inserts a little.

My solution was this: 72" HD StrapaHandle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C4TQQW6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Goes all the way around the bag, doesn't stop you from opening it, and makes the handle more comfortable.

Just thought I would share :) it's such a great case! Good buy!

That lamp is absolutely stunning. Where is it from?

Heyyyooo! I'm your girl. I have MS and have wicked hand tremors among similar annoying issues when it comes to makeup. Chunky shadow sticks like this has been a staple and a lifesaver, it's thicker to hold and line with than a liner but pigmented darker than a shadow and more forgiving for mistakes due to what I lovingly refer to as the shakes. If you use a primer (I go for tube or doe foot types, they're easy to smear with a finger) it's nice to layer a shadow over part of it and then it just straight up looks like a nice casual liner/shadow combo.

I've found that using self grip athletic tape to wrap around smaller lids and brushes has been a lifesaver, it's a good surface for me to keep hold of and really get a good grasp on and you can wrap a smaller brush to build up the thickness you need, where you need it on the brush or lid or whatever, without worrying about a sticky mess.

Also I cannot speak highly enough about the magic of beauty blenders for cleaning up a look and blending out coordination issues.

Your title says this but your facial expression says this lol.

For real: It's suuper pretty with your skintone and hair!

That's super awesome that you figured out the cause of your breakouts. Just a quick note: 91% alcohol is actually too high of a concentration to fully sterilize your brushes and makeup :( it actually evaporates too fast to kill all the bacteria! 70% is definitely better if sterilization is what you're going for :) here's a research gate article explaining it!

Here’s where you can find the bag! I fit all of my high end products including multiple large pallets (like my Anastasia Glow Kit and Naked Smokey) in it and it’s so organized and easy to carry! Just thought I’d help out. ��

Edit: Just in case anyone is curious here's a link to the Amazon reviews.

The saem cover perfect tip concealer is a Korean dupe for Nars Radiant Creamy concealer. It is slightly less creamy but more pigmented. I would say it’s 95% as good and costs $5 on Amazon. Game changer. I don’t mess around with Nars anymore.

I've also heard of people using that term, but whitecap is definitely correct.

"Whitewash" is also what you call that old lime and chalk paint used to paint barns, so that's what it makes me think of, lol.

The makeup artist from What Not to Wear has a great book for makeup basics, including eyebrow stuff. get this book!

Edit: spelling

I missed my chance to use that! Lol. Thank you!! I bought a set off Amazon actually and they're super soft! Here's the link for them: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY8ICR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lfZvDbE3JRWGE I use these brushes mixed with some from palettes I bought or a random Real Techniques brush. ☺

I love my e.l.f powder brush more than any of my other brushes, period. It's the perfect size and the flat top makes it so easy to control the amount of powder I use. It's $4.99 on Amazon but I bought it in Target for $3

Same thing, different name. Maybe this one will do?

Also on amazon! Let me see if I can find the link for you:)

pro tip for the contact paper (i did my counters with this stuff), use windex while applying it and squeegee the excess out from underneath. you might think it's not sticking because it's wet, but once you squeegee it out, it definitely sticks. the edges are a bit difficult to get down if they're wet, so just give them a few to dry off and then wrap around the edge. the windex helps get any bubbles out from underneath, and makes the overall process WAY easier. if you do have a bubble or two after, you can use a super small pin/knife to cut a small hole to let the air out.

So I always see these products and decided to order them a few weeks ago. I left it on about 2 hours, normally I’ll just throw it on before bed though. It’s dry enough to go to sleep within 15 minutes or so and has never left marks on my white pillow cases.

So the shape isn’t perfect Instagram brows, but it’s more than enough for my daily no make up deal and beef up my nonexistent brows. The stain lasts about 3 days this dark. It’s still there after, but too light. So you’re looking at the applying every 3-4 days.

Hope this helps someone who was curious!

I love that there are different light settings and they're dimmable.

Damn, I guess the editors of the Oxford Dictionary are a bunch of idiots... It's really not necessary to call someone an idiot because they hold a different opinion than your own.

Hello everyone! I posted both my Frozen and Tangled inspired collections on here and wanted to share with you my Tea Party collection :) It's filled with more neutral tones than the Frozen collection but has more colour variety than the Tangled collection :D Let me know what you all think!

Oh ps: You can take 15% off your entire order (not limited to The Tea Party Collection) with the code TEAPARTY15

I didn't design it - we get all our designs for the printer from a website called Thingiverse where people upload their own 3D designs for printers, there's quite a community. Basically every day at work I go on there and decide what cool thing I am going to print that day :)

It has quite a wide base so it feels very stable, I don't think it would tip over.

It's made of ABS plastic which is hard - it goes through an extruder at 230 degrees C which melts it and then spits it out like spaghetti - the spaghetti is laid down in layers and it dries hard almost instantly. It's pretty tough but can be brittle along the grain (a bit like wood I suppose).

I think WWI was a big breaking point for makeup.

Mascara was oddly enough invented about at the same time on both sides of the ocean, the brands Rimmel and Maybelline both got started by inventing mascara. Maybelline mascara was invented in 1913 specifically for the sister of the inventor, called Maybel, after her brother saw her coating her lashes with vaseline and then coal dust. By 1917 it had become popular enough to open a successful mail order business.

Society doesn't go from Victorian morals to the Roaring Twenties with a snap of the fingers, most of the crumbling of the old moral walls was done in the decade before.

Of course, the looks were much more toned down, it was pretty much "no makeup makeup", but a touch of rouge and pressed powder, a little bit of eyebrow pencil (or more homey solutions), a hint of mascara was something a lot of women wore, even if they didn't admit it to the public.

This book from 1910 for example, suggests that for darkening the eyebrows one should avoid chemical dyes and instead use safe alternatives like burnt cork (page 197). Page 117 has a face powder recipe and application guide. Page 170 has a recipe on how to brighten eyes which is essentially a light cream eyeshadow - zinc oxide is a white pigment, and mercury oxide a yellowy orange.

Even if these are labeled as more palatable "cosmetic creams" and safer alternatives to already more accepted hair dye they essentially are makeup. A rose by any other name...

The Korean dupe for the porefessional is the Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Primer, which is the EXACT same as the porefessional but cheaper. I bought mine at a kbeauty store for around 5$ but it's on amazon!

Just FYI, retinol serums you find in a not-a-prescription form are not going to actually do anything for your skin and are largely a waste of money. Retin*ol* is a form of Vitamin A that is very very very minimally active and poorly absorbed in comparison to a true prescription retin*oid*s. However, joyfully for us, the first ever true OTC retinoid was released earlier this year! Differen gel (aka adapaline) is the exact same that most people get as a prescription, except that you can buy it at Target or Amazon and it's mad cheap. My derm professors are all nuts about it. HOWEVER. Start slowly with it (*once every 3rd day and increase in frequency from there over time) and make sure to up your moisturization, as it *will dry out your skin until you have time to adapt.

You can get her a set of mermaid or unicorn makeup brushes like these. They are around $15 on Amazon and would go well with the pillow.

Ollie came from IKEA. I tried finding this in the store nearest to me (Chicago) but had no dice. :( My brother gave it to me as a gag gift from the Miami IKEA. I haven't checked if his bros and sistas are available online, but it might be worth a shot?

Honestly I had no idea what to do with him at first and when I found out he could hold makeup brushes I was happy lol

Awe thanks! My routine is really simpIe, I use this facewash and use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. Then Neutrogena sunblock when I remember on sunny days or days I'll be spending a lot of time outside! I'm really liking their new hydro boost one!

I'll say that most of my acne issues disappeared after I got on birth control, though, so my good skin is mostly due to that tbh! But I try to keep up with things like washing my pillow case frequently and not touching my face throughout the day.

Here is the one I got, but there are tons of similar ones on amazon that I liked too.

On mobile and can't link right now, but an aliexpress seller Dolovemk Beauty has the absolute best beauty blender knockoffs. They have mini ones, too and I actually prefer them to the real thing.

As a side note, I also tried a $0.39 dupe which just turned out to be rubber egg and an expensive one I tried always leaks color when wet :(

Edit, this is the one I'm talking about. :)

But I would still suggest shopping around for different brands. I'm not convinced I got the best possible version, but I didn't have the patience to shop around.

I have something called the Every Drop lip spatula...it's pretty much just a long handled silicone doe foot applicator that is small enough to get into slim tubes (such as a lipgloss tube) to scoop out every last bit. They also sell one that is a larger spatula made to use in wider bottles like foundation bottles. I bought mine at the Container Store but I've seen them everywhere now plus on Amazon and other places online.

Every Drop Lip Spatula

So since these things are all over Amazon, I figured I'd review the one I got.

It was packaged really well; in sealed shrinkwrap, baby bubble wrap, big bubble wrap, and then in a nice form-fitting box. So even though the dimensions are listed, and I have a tape measure, I have to say it seems so small in person! But my entire makeup collection fit (except for some of the palettes that were too tall to fit in the palette holder, which is fine since I ran out of slots anyway).

The boxes are not connected, so you can organize them however you want, including the top part (with the foundations in it). Also, each cubby can accommodate either one big drawer or three small drawers, so you can mix and match those too. Each box has two cubbies, for either two large drawer, six small drawers, or half and half, and the boxes have little rubber feeties on the bottom so that they don't scuff each other, or the shelf you store them on. They also came with pre-cut black mesh liners, which I thought was nice (I can take a picture of one if you'd like to see).

If anyone is thinking about buying one of these and would like to see specific pictures of any part, let me know! There are a ton of sellers, but I tried to pick one with a bunch of reviews (that fakespot didn't flag as suspicious). Overall I'm really pleased with it! I was concerned with the size at first, but it's compact and efficient; I actually didn't end up using one of the small drawers, and several of them are sparsely packed.

I have 6 cats and I have this brush holder. There are different sizes and styles (some with drawers to keep sponges, etc) and it comes with the little beads. Warning: the pink ones stained my brush handles.

Its this one but the picture is mirrored

My google fu is stronk

Thank you!

Practice! A few months ago I couldn't apply them to save my life but I just force myself every time I do a look now. I bought some black eyelash glue an applicator tool like this which really helps - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IBAM2ZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AxhcCbP8G245A

So I use this to apply the middle and outer edge, then use pointed tweezers to grab the inner edge and stick it down. Then I clamp the lashes to my eyelashes using the applicator tool and apply mascara to my lashes to blend it together. Hope that makes sense!!

I'm more combo / normal and oily.. mainly my nose. It can turn into an oil slick in the summer quicker than I can finish my face. This Etude House 'sunprise' is the best one I've found! It doesn't make the perimeter of my face too dry and actually helps my nose / cheek area control themselves.

PSA you guys! I found a 12 pack of cylindrical aquarium sponges that do literally the same thing for like $11. I only bought them one time like two years ago and I'm just now about to need to reorder. I get these. They're so much cheaper than buying the ones marketed as makeup switching pans or sponges.

I still don't believe this is true, and I believe that employee was misinformed. At this point, with the dates being printed on the actual mailouts, I don't think they can pull the rug from under us like that.

> Why even have your own charity if you're going to funnel to other charities. By time it gets to people what is left?

To answer this, it is quite common for one non profit to be focused on the raising of money for a related cause. They both raise and then research the best way for that money to be distributed by doing the necessary analysis of the programs in that areas, and then go on to fund them. By donating to their fund you are trusting that they will do the best job in this endeavour.

It makes sense because companies like MAC are not equipped to actually handle AIDS related issues. They are very well equipped to handle fundraising for AIDS related issues.

What is funny is your complaint against MAC of "why even have your own charity if you're going to funnel to other charities. By time it gets to people what is left?" is exactly what the Clinton Foundation doesn't do. They are both well equipped to raise money and create and implement successful programs. They still give grants to other programs as well, so they are a unique foundation in the philanthropic world.

I would recommend to you the book "Doing Good Better" by William MacAskill. He does a fantastic explanation of how normal people can analyze programs and charities and how we can utilize small amounts of donated money to do the most amount of good. Easy read, very compelling and challenges the way most people blindly donate.

That's a good idea! I'll bust some out here in a bit.

Here you go! https://imgur.com/a/TZwZn

Sorry for the crappy application. I'm in desperate need of a proper brush set. Hopefully this will give you a decent idea of what the colors are look like though. Each swatch is a healthy application of the color. A lighter hand seems to have a more lip tint kind of effect.

Not directly related, but I've seen someone on askreddit mention checking your emails with this site to see if your email was breached.

I've found my email was connected to 3 breaches and have changed my passwords for all relative items (dropbox, tumblr, etc) since then.

I mean, Im not saying downvoting for that is deserved

But is it really hard to google it?

I absolute love my Neutrogena Healthy Skin in Natural Beige (60) but that no-pump situation has made my life so messy. Like, the last straw was pouring a good 10% of the foundation on my mixing plate and then I lost it. I got this airless pump on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CWY33U0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the best thing about it it's that it is reusable, so I'm totally putting my Maybelline Matte & Poreless next.

I am going to be more inclined to buy pump-less foundations in the future because now my messy ass cannot pour foundation all over my vanity.

Has anyone else done this for their pump-less foundations?

Someone already beat me to this, but yes, this is definitely on amazon, and I saw this item too as I was browsing my Sephora app recently.

If you have a membership and are too lazy to go to a store... SSPs here and Becca Backlight Priming Filter here. Free shipping on all orders.

I have short, straight Asian lashes, so for years I'd just accepted that my lashes would never look good with any mascara. Too Faced Better Than Sex came close to changing my mind for a hot minute. But it flaked off for me and didn't last all day. Then I tried the Isehan Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl mascara and everything changed. It actually holds my curl all day, gives my lashes really good length, doesn't clump, and doesn't flake. I don't think I'm ever going to switch to another mascara. The only downside is that it's really hard to get off, like so hard they had to make their own remover for it.

It's available for around $14 with Prime shipping on Amazon. There's also a Volume & Curl version that I haven't tried.

I found these. I don’t personally use it (not hairy enough and I’m lazy) but I think that’s what you want to use. There’s heaps of videos on YouTube about it.

You should also invest in one of those back shavers for men. They look handy dandy for those hard to get places :)

So, oddly enough, I have been using Monistat Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel It’s a giant tube and it’s a silicone based product, just like many primers. It feels great and I use a lot less of my concealer/foundation, because of how it spreads on my skin. Give it a try before you buy something expensive.

Edit: How about a comment to explain why the downvote? Look at the Amazon reviews. This is a legit tip. I’m sure it’s not a product for everyone, but my comment adds to the discussion.

I have this thing and I love it - it is really sturdy and good quality, not thin cheap plastic. My only complaint is that the lipstick tray is too small for the KVD Studded Kiss lipsticks.

I also keep all of my makeup on a rolling bar cart I got from Ikea - my vanity space is also the guest room so this way I can relocate if needed.

I just picked this up on Amazon, hoping it would be good for lipsticks. It's not technically for lipsticks, but at less than half the cost of similar displays, I thought I'd take a chance. It's great! It stores 72 tubes, and it's pretty good quality. The holes are just a bit bigger than an average lipstick tube, but the rotation is smooth and they don't seem to shift. Plus it holds some larger stick tubes. I just thought you might be interested. :)

Hi. I'm a fencer. Thumb and index finger dexterity is something we rely upon and you CAN train this up. There are a few tools you can try to improve the strength in each finger.

First, I recommend the [VariGrip](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196HHMYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5Ll9Bb8G9B265. The one I linked is "extra light" weight, but feel free to select a model with higher lbs of coil tension. They make a version for therapy, for guitar players, and for sports.

Second idea, a bit cheaper, is to get yourself some small black binder clips, invert the silver part, and exercise your thumb and index finger by opening and closing the clip. You may have to start with the extra small size clips, then gradually move up. This is awesome at building dexterity in the thumb and forefinger.

Last would be something for when you are a bit more advanced and feeling adventurous: a gyroscopic ball that lights up These vary in price and complexity, and you'll probably need one with a docking station so that you don't have to pull a starter cord. But once it's spinning, you basically hold it in the palm of your hand, and you move your wrist and hand back and forth to keep your grip on it. It's pretty tough! But when you are getting to the point where you are improving, it can really firm up your grip.

I use these. Very useful because it'll hold anything regardless of width, and you can adjust the space between dividers for thicker palettes.

Milani lipsticks are really nice. I have a couple of the regular ones and a matte one. The Matte Glam is a pretty close dupe for Heroine. Here. I also swatched violet volt which is one of their regular lipsticks. I also like the NYX Soft matte lip creams. I have two MAC lipsticks, Heroine and Punk Couture and PC goes on so fucking patchy. I literally never wear it because it's so hard to get on right.

I’ve always been big on drugstore makeup, my fave eyeliner is Rimmel London’s water resistant gel. I also buy a lot off amazon, the best eyeshadow primer I’ve ever used is this brand, it’s so lightweight and goes on so smooth. It’s a little wet and takes a second to dry but using less product works fine too, or putting down a base coat of neutral powder over the top.

On a side note, it’s literally not worth it to buy expensive lip liners. I’ve been using wet n wild lip liners for years, I just get one that’s close to my lip shade and it’s pretty universal for any lipstick unless I want to do an ombré.

Currently a mixture of ELF and Ecotools, with some random Amazon brushes thrown in. Overall I'm really happy with the quality (I've had one of the ELF blending brushes for 3 years and it hasn't frayed a bit!), but I do want to invest in nicer brushes once my living and financial situation is a bit more stable.

https://www.instagram.com/lipkitbykylie/ for a few swatches. Honestly, I'm probably buying all of these if they're around the $25 range. I know everyone is sick of them but Kendall is absolute goals and I really do like Kylie's style. Plus I'm a sucker for all of those shades. EDIT: Eh $29 is still okay with me since it does come with matching liner, I wonder how it'll compare to high end liquid liners.

Sorry, on mobile.

You guys should look at @dupethat on instagram, people send in pics of dupe lipsticks and eyeshadows they've found and I've saved a pretty penny from looking at this page and website before buying an expensive lipstick.

For example, Colourpop lippiestix in LBB is an exact dupe for Melt's Dark Room as shown - http://weheartit.com/entry/group/65418070

Example 2: City color's Be Matte lipstick in Taupe is an exact dupe for MAC's Velvet Teddy as shown here - http://www.dupethat.com/2015/01/mac-velvet-teddy-dupes.html

I think I found it for US Amazon!

Thank you! I used to have really terrible skin for the longest time and wore only full-coverage foundation. Now that my skin finally cleared, I've embraced the light foundation or powder foundation as much as I can!

And yessssss, all my rings are from Amazon, but here's the specific link for this one (it's a pack).

Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara Super Waterproof 01 Super Black for Women, 0.21 Ounce, 1 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00INJ7TWW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_k9miDbMB9KRJP

I kept hearing about Kiss Me Heroine mascara and how well it holds a curl... let me just say, I’m blown away.

I have pin straight lashes and use a heated lash curler every day. Typically by the time I’m done my lashes are droopy and barley lifted. Not anymore! I tried it last night and they kept their curl in hot humid weather until I washed my face.

Now my new worry is making sure both eyes are curled the same, since I know they won’t budge!

Well, if you have really dark eye circles, I would recommend a salmon color concealer to cancel the purple of the dark circles. I like this skinfood one

People also like to go back in and brighten the under year area then. This can be achieved by finding a concealer 1 or 2 shades lighter than your skintone. It will brighten the under eye area and look more youthful. I use the tarte shape tape one but they have been under scrutiny lately because they wouldn't take the time to provide adequate shade range for POC.

So, if you would like a different option, you can try Maybelline age rewind, nars concealer, or just type in concealer into the search bar and a bunch of threads can come up with more inclusive recommendations.

Lime Crime just acknowledged that Jordan Hanz got accidentally blocked, presumably in the current delete & block spree. Looks like they're trying to avoid further damaging their relationship with you guys.

Ohhh, that sucks. You can get it cheaper (assuming you are Canadian and live there, not visiting) on Amazon.

edit: also, to compare pricing, the Amazon listing in CDN is around $25, USD is around $21. To buy it full-price (retail) is USD $24. That store is crazy marked up - exchange to USD is about $30 (probably includes taxes, I'm assuming).

If you can get ahold of it in time, Heroine Make Long+Curl looks fabulous and is bulletproof. I usually get it via Amazon Prime here

I gambled on this Amazon sponge and it's just as good imo. Gets so soft and 1/4 the price? That's all I'm looking for

I bought a batch of reusable bamboo rounds on Amazon and I am obsessed with them (I just ordered a 2nd batch as I don't do laundry that often). In the humidity, the disposable ones don't hold up well.

They come with a mesh bag and are easily machine washable.

Okay I just took a picture. I usually buy the 20 pack since it lasts me all year. Here's the product I use and sorry for the potato quality.

I usually buy it on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Godefroy-Professional-Medium-Brown-Count/dp/B000AS45LC/

Maybe BYS Peach Palette?

Edit: the Amazon listing is really saturated, but the IRL pics on Google look the same as your screenshot.

I own both have used both for quite a bit of time.

• Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: I think the packaging is cute! I love how it comes with a little spatula to scoop out product and apply it. The consistency is kinda thin and glides on the lips smoothly. Not particularly sticky, moreso slippery if that makes any sense. By the time I wake up in the morning, I feel a majority of it has sunken into my lips. I wipe off whatever residue there is (which isn't much), sometimes I don't since it feels the same as freshly applied lip balm. My lips usually look amazing with using this overnight.
• Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask: I got their holiday gift set because I wanted to try out their lip care products. I love the tin these came in, and the size makes it great for travel! The product itself came in a generous travel size, and I still have a lot left. What I love about this is the tube packaging. I have long nails, so I have a preference for tubes over jars. It smells delicious! The consistency is slightly thick and it is borderline sticky for me. When I wake up, I can still feel quite a bit on my lips and have to wipe it off. I think it is decent.

Overall, I prefer the Laneige one because I feel it really makes a significant difference over the Bite one. My lips look noticeably more plumper and softer, IMO. Bonus is that it's cheaper!

Check out the Personalized Compact Mirror on Swanson Glass Design.

You choose an illustration from her gallery of pocket mirrors. It's really wonderful quality so I wanted to share!

I wanted to do a simple look, but then I finished it and I was like "Ugh, it's too hot for a smoky eye." because for some reason I always end up doing something completely different to what I originally plan :P

And it is practise. I'm Australian, we use practise over here.

One of my coworkers bought this case full of loose shadows a couple of years ago when she was on a trip outside the US. She says she's never seen one like it since.
It has 24 sections each with its own sponge-tip applicator (I know) and the only thing I've been able to find that's even close is this small empty container with 6 sections from alibaba.

My google-fu has never been this bad before!

I figured it't time to ask for help, and if anyone would know it would be someone here :)

COSTCO is selling the following Kevyn Aucoin brushes:

• Foundation Brush = $49.99 USD / $82 USD @ Nordstrom

• Soft Buff Powder Brush = $38.99 USD / $60 USD @ Nordstrom

• Contour Brush = $26.99 USD / $40 USD @ Nordstrom

• Base Shadow = $26.99 USD / $40 USD @ Nordstrom

• Concealer Brush = $21.99 USD / $32 [USD] @ Nordstrom

EDIT: Fixed the last part of the list.

I didn't think of that! Just because the jars would be really expensive. I can put one up now :)

EDIT: Here is a listing for one. This price comes out to about 3 dollars per eyeshadow as opposed to $4.50. So it's a little over 25% off!
