I have tried a LOT for competitive research purposes and also because I was curious about the hype, and it’s all been kind of meh. I would love to (sincerely) understand why it gets the praise it gets.

1. LOVE “Sabotage”

2. HATE Merit. Seriously why do people rave? I bought several products and didn’t like any of them, esp the Glow Serum, which was a bad dupe of Clarins’ Double Serum (which I have been using for years)

3. LOVE a tubing mascara but please AMG do not scare me re Aucoin going out of biz. (But I agree that it has to be heading that way)

Loved this week’s issue !

I just tried some Merit too—the new brow pencil—and it broke every time I made a stroke with it. Dead to me.
