Was this Makeup on Sale for a Reason??

[@knitntherapist7520]

It is bloom. It’s really common with MAC lipsticks, and chocolate! Bloom isn’t mild, it’s not dangerous. It’s from the solidification of some oils and waxes in the product. It’s something that you can just gently wipe off the outside if it bothers you. Loving your look!

[@halo2d]

Out of all my lipsticks it’s always the MAC ones, always. But I truly believe the extra wax keeps their lipsticks from breaking in tube *side eyes Pat McGrath*

I picked up the last Item Beauty blush at my local Sephora $6, fell in love and immediately went to the brand’s website to buy every shade at 40% off! So glad I was able to grab them before the brand’s completely gone.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

I picked up the in my element palette and got an eyeliner in a box - I have no interest in the tiktokker but whoever made the color and formula choices there was very gifted. Great little wooden eyeliner pencil, none of this destroy-my-sharpener plastic, and omg the color story in the palette changed the way I looked at color. I hope that team can rebrand or something, they should just Collab with celebs, but keep the product clearly branded as a consistent brand, like Lauren and oden's eye.

[@DaraJill]

@Montana Nerd I did a bit o' sleuthing and item was put out by incubator Madeby, which is under the parent company of Ipsy, BFA. They also make Tresluce and Complex Culture. I guess keep an eye on any new brands they put out because they might use the same labs.

[@blendofdays]

So far I've tried the mascara, brow pencils, concealer, & in my element palette. I love everything sm that I've repurchased the mascara twice & I'm sad the brand is being phased out! *oh & the lip oil! Repurchased it was so good!

Fenty Wattabrat is my favorite glittery highlight/blush topper. So good! Ipsy has Fenty highlighters on sale all the time. I’ve seen trophy wife, how many carats & a few others pop up from time to time. As a person who paid full price for Wattabrat, I try to grab all the sale ones I can lol!😅

[@LesKnowsBest]

I love the formula of the Rose Inc chubby pencils. If you blot it on your lips, it blurs! But yes the component caused the formula to bloom, so they're looking for a new component. IDK if the new lipsticks are the same component.

[@freyaalice9593]

What do you mean by ‘bloom’?

[@LesKnowsBest]

"Wax bloom is a natural oxidation process of wax-based materials, just like rust is an oxidation of iron. It appears as a cloudy white film over a drawing or color lay down. If you are plagued with wax bloom, simply wipe your drawing with a clean, dry cloth and spray it with a final fixative to seal out air."

[@LesKnowsBest]

Instead of "drawing", you can fill in "makeup". Wax bloom is not mold.

[@sarahdavey9098]

I personally love this look. It's still a good daytime look and even easier to take to nighttime. It's not technically monochromatic but close and you absolutely rock it!

Just got 2 lights lacquer polishes && a full sized forget the filler gloss for $9 each. Both things I’ve wanted to try. It’s a GREAT way to get skincare far nicer than I may get myself otherwise which I did on this most recently pop-up where you got this stuff. I’ve got tatcha, glow recipe, Kate Somerville, etc. I’d almost rather spend my $27 that way.

[@xtyrasage]

I'm actually disappointed that Item Beauty seems to be fading out. I got their moisturizers from the Boxy sale and they're very nice, particularly the Light Sauce. I got a concealer and it was the wrong shade but the coverage was nice. Quality was good and price is right, sad if they don't make it.

That is exactly why I’ve been hesitant to pick up the new Tower 28 release! I’m sure the formula will be beautiful but it seems really warm and I prefer a neutral bronzer (or something peachy) or a true cool contour. I do like the new Milk Makeup one tho!

[@veronicahayes2635]

I’ve found LYS Serum foundation goes on better with a brush or fingers. It settles so beautifully though. I have LN6 which seems to be waaaaay too warm for me once it settles. Hoping to pick up the LN3 now I have seen it on you. Would be interested to know if it oxidised? LN6 does a little.

[@joorourke8134]

Dry sponge works best for me. It gets about 1 shade darker when dry. It doesn't turn orange, just a bit darker, so it's a summer foundation for me. For reference, I have dry mature skin with very cool and red undertones, so orange would be very noticeable if it changed tones. If I had to recommend it to anyone, I'd say get it 1 shade lighter than you think you'll need.

I really like the Keys blush. I have Awakened and its just a nice peachy shade . I hadn't heard of the color you tried as Ulta (where I got mine) only has 4 of the colors. I went to their actual site and pleasantly surprised to learn there like 3 other colors. The illuminating primer is also really nice.

[@lesleyegbert4807]

As for TJMaxx issues, I've seen some recent discussion about this on other sites. It seems the lack of good makeup stock in these stores is maybe a West Coast thing? I'm in the Seattle area and there's been nothing decent in my local stores since the pandemic hit.

I get rid of lipsticks that smell like crayons, play-doh, car exhaust or fuel, or basically anything that smells weird. That smell right under my noise, on top of tasting it, wouldn't work for me. The other one I go by is feel. Huda has a lip balm that's amazing when it's new. When it goes off, it burns the hell out of my lips to the point I've got small scars where it scabbed up. In case it was a fluke, I bought another when it went on sale, but same thing. In the beginning my lips loved it. At some point it became caustic. The smell never changed, but scent was most people's complaint about it on Sephora.

I dropped boxy while we see what happens, I'll rely on the CVS deals to get drugstore products if I absolutely need something. I've got so much stuff now. I took a decade off most makeup, just wearing eyeliner & lippies, but got back into it. Boxy was a great way to build a collection very inexpensively, I did love drop shop. But, the merch that never did arrive, the infuriating service, & their extremely bad warehouse turned me off (how can their warehouse be so bad? Low low pay & understaffing is my guess). Also, to be fair, I also did overspend recently on a 5-month search for dupes for my old fave lippies, which, led to buying a lot of meh, but finally finding the actual lippies themselves, miraculously recontinued this month after 15 YEARS! so I did buy all three full price, something I have not done in many years, and realized I MUST STOP BUYING. If I can find a drugstore dupe for bare minerals complexion rescue, I will be a happy happy girl. Dr dray has me on the good, frugal skincare, I am all set to ease into routine, affordable beauty shopping for awhile.

“Clean” beauty brands…. Pass.

[@g1ng3rsn4ps]

While often times 'clean' is capitalistic green washing, there ARE brands that take more care to have better formulations that are healthier. Makeup and especially hair care have tons of endocrine disruptors, allergens, etc that brands feel perfectly fine putting in their formulations because US regulatory entities are so archaic and not more 'up to speed' like Europe and Canada, (and in some cases) Japan or Korea (this is especially true when it comes to sunscreens). Being an educated buyer is about weeding out the green washing while still understanding science is a thing and most of these brands will put anything in a formulation because regulations are still so loose comparably. There's absolutely better, cleaner brands and formulas out there to use but we just have to take care to not be fooled by solely marketing.
