I enjoy your podcasts. Make up is fun! I am 73 and make up is uplifting. I am attending my grandson’s wedding on New Years Eve. Make up is essential for feeling elegant.

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I'm very excited for you! I'm sure you will look and feel elegant for his weeding. Congratulations and enjoy!

Fellow perioral derm girlie here! It’s been a long journey with this one. It’s had it on and off for decades. Thanks for bringing awareness to it!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I'm so sorry to hear that you have this condition as well. I hope you have found a routine that helps your flare-ups keep at bay.

Nice episode! My favorite lip balm/chap stick style is my Dionis. It has goat milk, I originally bought it at Ulta in the U.S. but have also found it on Amazon and they have their own website too. I like the Vanilla Bean. I recently was gifted the LaNeige lip mask and it is fabulous! It is a little balm pot I like to use at night.

I enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing, I think I might try a couple of these. Happy New Year!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I'm so happy you've enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you!

Love the red sweater. I’ve been looking for a pattern for a red sweater or cardigan. I think this is it. Thanks to your style. Happy new year!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you!

[@elissamcgahren8473]

Sun Bum is my favorite lip balm!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Oh! Noted! Thank you! I can't wait to give it a go!

[@qwiltergrl]

Lately I’ve been enjoying Burt’s Bees original and Lypsyl lip balms. The Lypsyl seems to be a bit more silky than the Burt’s. Maybe one of them will work for you as well. Also, I love that mascara too!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you very much for sharing about these lip balms! I haven't tried Lypsyl, so I'll jump on this option next. I can't wait!

[@korinnaklassen7535]

I really love your style! So classic 👌🏼 ✨️

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you very much! I love incorporating knitwear into my closet and doing it in interesting ways. Jeans go with everything, but I love applying the knits with other items in my wardrobe.

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

I ❤ makeup. I love a fabulous red or close to pink lip. I use makeup to match my mood and outfits. I never look overdone. I learned and practiced how to do a classic natural look that makes me feel polished and put together. I use 😊Mac too since the foundations and powders are so close to my skin tones. I can’t wait to see your other lists of favorite things.

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I love to hear this! I love that you've practiced and probably experimented with a look that you were after with your make-up. It takes time and is so personal. And a massive yes to complimenting mood and outfits with make-up.

[@stephaniewilliams8687]

@@pairswellwithknitting it’s all about learning how to feel your best. That takes time and patience. 😊🧶

[@karenlarsen1128]

Thanks for this Jennifer! Your skin is beautiful… I’d like to know what skin care products you use as well.

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you! I have very much reduced my skin care routine to cleansing and hydrating. Basically that's all my skin can handle in the last couple of years. No bells and whistles and definitely not fancy. Minimal for sensitive skin.

[@klz4377]

Happy New Year! ❤️ Fun topic, I will try the mascara next time I need some. My favorite lip treatment was Korres lip butter, now discontinued, so I am very interested what others recommend.

[@klz4377]

p.s. Also a fan of the Knitting Loft in Toronto. They have a wonderful selection of yarn. 😊

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Happy New Year to you! I feel we get into a specific product, treat it as our ride-or-die and then boom! Discontinued! I hope the recos can help both of us!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Completely!

[@simoneclarke5104]

Day to day I keep my makeup very minimal - brows (NYX Thick it Stick it), mascara (L’Oréal Telescopic original), and Nivea lip balm (Pearly Shine ) that is slightly tinted with a pretty finish. I cannot live without my Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, I use it every night, and one tiny jar lasts me an entire year. As for my make up collection, it is small and a mix of high-end and drugstore. I too love high-end lipsticks🥰!

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Your day-to-day make-up sounds like perfection! And a lip mask is a lovely way to end a day. High-end lipsticks are the way to go. I feel you really get what you pay for when it comes to lip colour with stay power and hydration.

[@abbielynnjuett4031]

I am not watch this video as I do not wear make up. I adore the sweater💚💚💚

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you very much! I'm happy that you enjoy the Love Note!

[@nadinedetain6765]

I have not been wearing lipstick or gloss for years now, only lip balm, but a colored one by Clinique chubby stick moisturizing lip colour balm called 28 roomiest rose. Thank you to have share your make up routine with us.

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Thank you! I've also used the chubby stick and recently ran-out in the summer. I love to wear it during the warmer months, as it offers just a kiss of colour for toasty days out.

[@andreabird7375]

I've just read that Badger Highland Mint Lip Balm is very close to TJ's

[@pairswellwithknitting]

I'm so excited! I am searching it up now! Thank you.

[@andreabird7375]

Happy New Year! May I ask where you purchase your Mascara and Lipstick? Or if you have links to purchase online. I'm just north of TO.

[@uchinawa70]

Hello. Love your content. I found a new lip balm by The Ordinary, called Squalane + Amino Acid Lip Balm. I can pick it up at my local Sephora in Edmonton. I think there are Ordinary stores in Toronto if you live there. It’s not the cheapest, but so far, it works for me.

[@pairswellwithknitting]

Yes! I was very excited about this lip balm! I'm been using it for a few weeks now, but use it at night only. Great feel and does a lovely job of hydrating the lips. I do love it! Thank you!
