My Unexpected Makeup Finds of 2024

[@LisaDia14]

I totally want to try the Mac Glow Play blush, you always speak so highly of them and I regret not picking one up from the last 21 Days of Beauty! I miss Paulina posting as well!

I 😂 when you said interrogations. I miss Paulina on KZbin too. She’s the one who got me into more subtle and elegant makeup. I don’t have IG but checked on her page from a public view last week to see if she posted anything makeup related. Her kids are adorable! I like the persona stick blushes. The CP ones don’t wear that well on my skin. I think my Sydney Grace cream blush and bronzer went bad after a year because they smell and are harder to blend out. I might as well throw them away. The persona ones seem to last longer before expiring, but I know creams tend to go bad faster than powders.

Oh no! I’ve been rocking the Sydney Grace ones all month and mine are fine. Every time I want to buy a persona blush the shades I want are always sold out 🫣

My favorite find was Isamaya 2.0 Industrial palette. They are cruelty free and I didn’t know they were cruelty free. It’s pricey but I got it on sale and it’s probably going to last longer than all those indies with cheaper ingredients and packaging. The different textures, colors, shifts and shimmers are gorgeous. I use it as a topper or shimmer palette and always have it out.

I’ve heard about them but didn’t try them this year. Maybe next year.

Yes! I love her palettes so far. I agree 2.0 is incredible. Pricey but all the shades are amazinggg

My favorite find was the Nabla beyond blurry lipsticks hands down. I think I have every shade but one, I’ve never invested in a line of lipsticks like that. I also fell in love with my hourglass face palette from a few years ago, that I’m trying to pan :)

[@AlejandraLisette]

I’ve heard from others those are really good.

Hi Alex!!! I just tried the Makeup by Mario cream bronzer and cream blush. They are fantastic!! So is his setting powder and the soft sculpt serum. Chef's kiss!!! I also fell in love with the Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara this year!! Great video Alex!!!

[@AlejandraLisette]

Those may be on my wishlist for next year

I recently got Merit lipstick and the serum you rave about.... girl! I picked up the serum for my MIL, sister and SIL! I love it so so much and had to share! Thank you!

[@AlejandraLisette]

It’s so good!! I love it so much. I’m glad you love it as well. I am wearing double wear today and it’s hard for me in the winter to pull it off. With that serum I have a glow to my skin. 🥰

[@amberneitzel8201]

@AlejandraLisette I will have to try that! I know it works great with my IT and Too Faced. The Too Faced normally drys me out, I almost threw it out because I was frustrated. This serum saved the bottle from Mr Trash compactor lol. I think we should request Merit put a "Plays Well With Others" label on it. Have a Very Merry Christmas by the way!
