I was thinking back to my makeup collections over the years and feeling a little nostalgic for my middle school/early high school everyday look. Clear mascara, Blistex lip ointment, and a Cover Girl powder blush in (I'm pretty sure...) Natural Glow. My collection is still small but something about my old collection seems so young and fresh. I'm considering switching to a clear mascara and a more pinky shade of blush for the summer.

Anyone else making a few changes for the warmer weather? Or just nostalgic for a product you used in the past?

Would love any recommendations for a pink cream or liquid blush, too! Something cool and not too bright. Looking for something that is like a...natural glow. Ha!

Had a drawer full of lip products. Glosses that were too sticky, lipsticks that dried my lips out, tinted balms that disappeared in twenty minutes. Kept buying more trying to find the one that actually worked the way I wanted. Someone in my friend group wouldn't stop talking about ogee's tinted lip oil and I finally caved. The texture genuinely surprised me, much closer to a gloss than an oil, actual color payoff, and comfortable enough that I stopped thinking about reapplying The clean formula was something I noticed after the fact. No synthetic fragrance, nothing I'd usually flag on an ingredient list. But that wasn't what kept it in rotation, it just works better than most of the conventional ones I'd cycled through before it.

One product, used daily, that I haven't felt the need to replace or supplement. That's the whole point of this sub and it took longer than it should have to get here.
