It’s been awhile since we’ve talked about our favorite new things.  Due to the pandemic, I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut, but I’m trying to branch out a bit.  So let’s chat.

Being back at work, I’ve tried a few new beauty products to improve my morning routine, and I have two I’d like to talk about.  One I am totally smitten with, and one that’s so good, I’m going to start giving it as gifts.

Milk Hydro Gripping Primer. Wearing a mask for a big part of the day, my makeup needs to stay on.  This Gripping Primer works so well.  It feels light, and non greasy.  And, best of all, a little goes a long way (it took me weeks to go through a trial size).  Add some Urban Decay All Nighter, and the hold is nearly perfect — a little bit of wear and tear, but you still look fresh.

Grande Brow Serum. Growing back my eyebrows (after I misspent my youth overplucking) has been a decade-long odyssey.  For the most part, they’ve grown in nicely, but they still need some work, so I picked up the brow serum from Grande Cosmetics.

It’s only been a week, and the growth is already visible. I can’t wait to see where I am in a couple of months when my mini-size runs out.  But for the time being, I’m filling in the sparse spots with Hourglass Micro-Sculpting Brow Pencil (the narrow tip makes hair-width, feather-like strokes a breeze).  As the meme says, I regret nothing but my eyebrows from 15 years ago.

Do you have any new-to-you products that you’re loving?  One you would caution your fellow readers to stay away from?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.
