My Full List of 2019 Beauty Favourites

[@Hannahsoccergal53452]

A personal fun fact: I'm almost 21 years old and I've never seen my father without a mustache, even the pictures of him in college contain a mustache. The only time he has ever shaved it is when he lost a bet. After shaving it, he went to pick up my brother from elementary school. My brother didn't recognize my dad and would not get in the car with him. This resulted in a lot of fear and confusion as my brother though he was about to be abducted by a strange man claiming to be his father. Eventually, my mom had to come get my brother from school.

FUN FACT: there was a war called the Emu War (emu is a giant ostrich looking creature in Australia) in 1932, basically the aussies were shooting bullets at emus, but in the end, only a couple of emus were shot but many bullets were wasted. IG:delialyu

Love the shop my stash/project pan/no buy trend. It really makes make-up more about creating rather than consuming. I find it more easy and calm to watch as it doesn't trigger the need to buy as much as the constant videos with new products. Glad to see you are so enthousiastic about this trend as well!

[@cdparr]

Fun fact: you know the expression "kill them with kindness" -- Ariana Grande even wrote a song about it. Or was it Selena Gomez? Anyway, when Shakespeare wrote "kill her with kindness" in Taming of the Shrew, it was a play on words that meant not "kill her with niceness" but rather "kill her with likeness" (as in, be the same kind as her, like give her a taste of her own medicine), and because the shrew was a shrew, it actually meant kill her with b*tchiness, the complete opposite of niceness/kindness. So now you have a fun tidbit to make yourself immensely unpopular at dinner parties, as I am! Anyway you're my fave, love you! IG: @celesteparr

[@melissapetzer3560]

FUN FACT: Canadians say "I'm sorry" so often that a law was passed in 2009 that an apology can't be used as an admission of guilt! IG: @melissa_petzer Edit: OMG reading through this comment section is ENLIGHTENING me to facts I didn't know I needed to know until I knew them. Wow.

[@rhiannawagster9516]

Hey Allana, the Vichey mineral 89 is a hyalauronic acid, so it hydrates but it doesn't moisturize. You need to put it on first to hydrate and hold water in your skin and put a moisturizer/primer on TOP of it for it to work and hold that hydration in your skin. Dr Dray talks about it as well on her channel! Hope that helps your dry skin [:

[@marolle15]

Fun Christmas fact: the 12 days of Christmas are AFTER Christmas and is the days between the birth of Jesus and the Magi/wise men arriving! And there were 3 gifts, but not necessarily three men.

[@dma921]

You might find the Vichy 89 works better for you if you utilize it on bare skin, then spraying a hydrating mist on top of it. Bc it's hyaluronic acid it draws water to itself, but if you don't give it water to hold on to and put an occlusive on top it to hold it in, it will draw moisture from inside your skin, actually making your skin drier. By putting the bobby brown cream underneath, you're creating a barrier preventing the HA from actually hydrating your skin.

[@mariebellydance7519]

Fun fact: in Danish, we sometimes speak when drawing breath in (usually, humans only speak when exhaling as it’s quite dangerous to speak when drawing breath in as you might choke on a bug).
