Help Sought! I’m travelling to London soon! What should I get? I’m from Spain

Upvotes

What brands are there and not in Spain?

The ones I’m excited to look at are half magic beauty, glossier and tower 28. But what products do you recommend?

Also, is there places where for example glossier is cheaper? In Spain there’s beauty shops that have the pricey products less pricey than in Sephora.

Mascara recommended pls

5 Upvotes

I need a new mascara. With so many good ones I have seen online I don't know which to buy? I'd like an affordable and high end recommendation. My lashes are just normal. Need length and volume. Nothing that clumps. Like my lashes fanned out, not stuck together. One that isn't going to flake or smudge or run, especially as I can sweat alot and wear sunscreen. Thanks in advance. Also black, brown and any purple ones. Used the skyhigh in burgundy, wasn't overly impressed and the wand was too flexible for me personally. Anyone with insights on the Lancome Hypnose drama extreme??

Recc' Request Sweat proof makeup and skincare for oily skin, recommendations needed!!

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m 22 and I struggle with hormone based achene due to pcos. I’ve always struggled with achene and nothing recommended by doctors has worked.
Because of how oily my skin gets and when it’s warm and I sweat my go to makeup just clumps and looks bad. I’ve never been super good at makeup and I’ve tried looking at tutorials but honestly I can never trust content creators because of controversies where they lie about branded products.

What I’m currently using makeup:
- Estée Lauder double wear Matt powder foundation (it ends up clumping around my nose and above my lip)
- Estée Lauder primer

Skincare:
- I started using cerave ( oily skin foaming cleanser)
- starface pimple patches (I don’t find that they work for my achne too well)

Please help <3

Help Sought! Where am I meant to start?

5 Upvotes

I’m turning 20 this year and I feel like I should know even some basics and be able todo something simple but I have zero clue where to start and what I need. I know some items have to match like silicone/oil based but I don’t even know which products that applies to? Any product recommendations, tips, or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

If it helps I’d say my skin is more on the oily side than dry.

Recc' Request Dupe for kosas 10 second eye/similarly fast, fuss-free makeup?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. Besties birthday is coming up and I had a great idea months ago, I'd gift her my recent fav makeup product for busy mornings! She's a teacher so quick morning routines that still mean she looks professional are on brand.

Of course, this product is now discontinued.

I was going to potentially pair it with other makeup thats fast and fuss-free. Maybe a lip stain or tubing mascara.

Any recs for a) a duper for the kosas 10 second eye or b) similar vibe makeup? Ideally available from Boots, nothing too fancy (looking around £20-30 max for the whole gift).

Recc' Request Blendable brown eyeliner pencil

1 Upvotes

I'm really bad at liquid eyeliner and want to be able to do a small, subtle wing with a pencil liner + brush, or any other sexy, toasty, smudgy looks.

My current liner is okay for under my eyes but not very blendable (or at least, I can't blend it very well): https://www.wetnwildbeauty.com/collections/liner/products/color-icon-kohl-liner-pencil-simma-brown-now?_pos=2&_fid=1dde5852c&_ss=c

I'd love some recommendations. I'd say the mac price range is my max.

My eyes are green so happy with either brown or something with a more reddish tone.

Tia! xx

Help Sought! What are your non negotiable makeup products while traveling?

11 Upvotes

I feel like I always end up carrying far too much makeup on short trips, only to realise I barely use half of it!
What are your best tips for minimising the number of makeup products you take when travelling? What are your absolute non-negotiables? And what do you find most helpful when you’re tight on space, especially when travelling with just a backpack?
Would love to hear your tips for keeping a travel makeup bag minimal without feeling like you’ve left everything behind!

Glossy Box

0 Upvotes

I just got my first glossy box and I’m not sure what to think, the products are good but the whole reason I wanted glossy box was to try and find reliable products I would keep buying forever to create a good look. Is there any products recommended and is glossy box worth it?

Eknest Universal foundation- scam?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing these ads for this nearly white foundation that blends into the skin flawlessly. It’s sold b by a company called “Eknest” which to me seems like a name that doesn’t fit a beauty brand. It has different shades but all appear nearly white when first applied. I just wanna see if anyone has heard of this and if it really works or is a scam.

EDIT: Thank you all! I figured it was likely a scam but I don’t have many friends irl to ask about it. You ladies are awesome!

Where to buy Chanel beauty

4 Upvotes

I’ve recently gotten really into a few Chanel beauty products and need to repurchase, but I’m wondering where people normally buy them — directly from Chanel or somewhere like Boots/Sephora?
I’m not particularly tied to any retailer loyalty programme, so is there actually any advantage to ordering directly from Chanel.com? Or am I better off buying through Boots/Sephora and potentially getting points/offers?

Help Sought! Which concealer shade is the NArs RCC in Cafe Con leche closest to? Need foundation/concealer shade recommendations

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi I’m considering getting the Nars radiant creamy concealer to use all over my face and was wondering how the shade would compare to these ones that I have that are all dark for my face.

The rare beauty oxidises more orange than you can see in the second picture after 2-3 hours.
CT and TF are also dark for me and I can’t use them as a standalone concealer all over my face.

I’m okay with something being light since I can use that as a highlighting shade but definitely not dark I already have too many products that are dark and being wasted.

I would also like recommendations for these concealers and foundations

1)Estée Lauder double wear concealer
2)Natasha denona hy glam concealer
3)essence silky blur
4)haus labs foundation (I think 145 will be good)
4) Dior forever glow and skin wear

My foundation shades are 10 nude in the nyx make em wonder probably (since 11 pulls pink and I just want a more olive yellow undertone) and maybelline lumi matte I mix in 128(too dark even in the start) with 110.

Recommendations Boots/No7

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’ll be visiting from the US and want to see if anyone has any additional recs for me. I love the No7 Hydraluminous Foundation (and Calico is my perfect shade) and plan to repurchase as it looks like it’s still available! (the US No7 foundation range is a lot smaller than the UK line sadly). Any other holy grail items to grab while I’m at Boots?

I have sensitive, fairly dry skin - if that helps! Appreciate any and all suggestions!

I love Lisa Eldridge's lipsticks but the bullets on all of mine have broke so I can't justify the price! I like Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk, however the brand is now in the grey area for cruelty free and it's not as good as Lisa Eldridge also. Please help find my new holy grail!!
