But can you level a concrete floor?

Actually I can, but I only do it on the weekends.

Haus Labs Triclone Foundation Fair swatches

I got fooled by the Haus Labs naming (cool is olive!) so ended up with multiples as I live somewhere without free returns. I decided to swatch them out, as 060 isn't in their discovery kit, in case this helps someone else!

Left to right:

050 Fair Cool

060 Fair Rosy (formerly named Fair Warm)

070 Fair Neutral

I'm pretty red, so I sometimes blend 070 and 060 to cool my face down a bit... 060 seems like a bang-on match for me going by my neck, but I'm curious what everyone here thinks. If you just went by my face it's harder to tell because of my rosacea. And I do trend yellow when I get some sun, so 070 might be a decent summer foundation for me. The Haus Labs shade finder recommended 060 if I didn't select "rosacea" as a concern, and 070 if I did.

Edit: add a zero to the end of the photo labels! This was done pre-coffee!

Secret department?!

Never had an issue with my returns before but this year I had my return grabbed for additional docs, which I provided. The deductions were allowed. But when I called in asking when my return would be assessed, they said some _other_ department had grabbed it for review now... But that they couldn't tell me what that department was. !??

I'm scrupulously honest down to the penny -- I have very reasonable home office expenses, and that's it -- and the only change was I threw a large amount onto my RRSP after selling some stock earlier this year, so I am owed a very big refund (that was the doc request.)

What's the reasoning behind not telling me where my return even is? Is that normal?

Does this exist: a coral blush for fair cool rosy people?

I've been typed as a True Summer so I've been told that I should avoid any hint of orange around my face or in makeup. But I own Super Shy from ColourPop; it looks coral on me and I love how it looks! But the staying power isn't great. Has anyone else who is fair and cool managed to pull off coral? If so, tell me your secrets and blushes!!

(And for reference I wear 060 Fair Rosy in Haus Labs foundation)

Eyebrow (and other) brushes: amazing discovery!?

I'm learning how to do makeup at the young age of 40, and was completely shocked at the price of brushes. Wandered into the art supply store and found these $6 artist brushes. Thought why not, so I picked them up, and... I can't tell a difference??

Left to right on hand:

* morphe 401.5 eyebrow/spoolie brush combo

* Heinz Jordan Hoglin synthetic hog bristle

* Heinz Jordan natural sable

Going back tomorrow for some bigger ones to try with eyeshadow!!

(Also ignore my dry hands lol, I should probably moisturize... 😅)

Does anyone else have any cost saving hacks like this?
