    Love a wave spray, hope that one works for you. Even the Mickey plate is adorable; I'd want one and I'm not even fond of Mickey M. (Minnie is👌).

    I bet the wave spray will work the way you intended! Keep us posted! But I had that happen to me (I didn’t read the label) and I thought I was getting a cleanser and it was LOTION. And I already opened the pump so I can’t return it, lol. So you’re not alone. Love the haul- the frame and plate are so nice!

    Great declutter! I love watching these. If I have to make myself use products just because I have them or have them in a project, it’s definitely a sign I don’t really want it, totally agree. Love that you know what colors work for you, that helps a lot too!

    It's always smart to toss something that has been AWOL for too long. Agree about that ELF blush-- even with your warmer hair it just looks weird on your skin. Too much yellow in the undertone, I'd guess. Good declutter! I need to one soon myself.

    I think I had Black Cherry back in 1980. Great color; lots of punk girls wore it over black eyeliner-filled lips. What do I have three or more of? I have all 3 of the Too Faced peach-scented eye palettes. I now have three (and going to get more) of those Sally Hansen Insta-Dry polishes, all greens. 6 Dominique Cosmetics eye palettes, 3 Natasha Denona minis, 4 Becca highlighters & 3 glosses from the same line, 3 Clinique cheek pops... the list goes on. Oh, you know you can use Inglot Duraline to re-soften Super Shocks? I'm getting some myself for various purposes, including reviving my 1 super shock blush. Love that green Super Shock of yours!

    Just finished watching your playlist! This is so fun, and a great idea for those who like a lot of variety. You're doing amazing! Plus the palette honestly look really pretty in this form. I'm doing a pan that palette. Just trying to hit pan on everything, but even that is difficult with my 40 pan palette. It does give me a lot of variety though. Well, not anymore... all the shades I have left are kinda similar. But for a year the variety was great.

    Good collection video! I can't believe you have just one mascara, but i'm a mascara freak. Anyhoo. I whip through at least a couple of those ELF Clear Brow/Lash gels a year. It's good to have clear mascara for lower lashes when you want a little definition but no possibility of smearing, or sometimes to use it as a lash primer to set the shape/separate before other mascaras; and the brow gel sets nicely too. And I couldn't help notice how those Viseart blushes stand out in a sea of other shades-- they're sooo pretty.

    The beeswax allergy definitely keeps my mascara buying in check - it knocks out about 80% of what's on the market. The Viseart shades are absolutely stunning.

    Yeah, Pixi glow tonic is great for gradually removing scars/texture/discoloration without stripping the skin. I'm not surprised the Dramatically Different is too rich for you. The Moisture Surge is nice, I especially like the MS eye gel. My own skincare is all about light layers of hydration; a toner or essence, a serum, a gel cream or water-balm, topped with a rich moisturizer. In winter there may be an oil to seal it in, too. My skin is dry but it doesn't look dry b/c I never give it that chance! If I were to rec' anything right now, it would be the Perricone M.D. Micellar Water-- gentlest, most effective one I've ever tired, doesn't sting my eyes, & it's thick so a little goes a long way. It's occasionally on Ipsy for a reasonable price.
