first of all ntm on the spending problem helloo 😭 i’ll have you know that 90% of my routine is the same as last year! and secondly. the implication that i could possibly be an influencer(?) made me ctfu…well as soon as posting about jaemjen gay sex in tandem with normie makeup and skincare content becomes a viable monetizable internet career you best believe i will be in that house like carpet 🫶

as for my holy grails, i looked back at that cc post in my archive spreadsheet and the only ones i still use daily are the heroine make long and curl mascara and shiseido eyelash curler. i still do like the msh loveliner but i’m afraid the cost-performance value of my <$5 flortte liquid liner cannot be beat, i have this product in three shades. for cleansers the kose softymo speedy is The oil cleanser like literally the only one i’ve consistently repurchased so i think it belongs here as well. my skin barrier saviors include the numbuzin no.2 protein serum and the aestura atobarrier 365 cream. i think vt reedle shot and pdrn serum are too recent of additions in my routine to be eligible for holy grail status so i’ll give them a year or so…but i will say that i do like them a lot as of right now.

re: other miscellaneous products — i’ve been in a bit of a skin scent era this past year or so (juliette has a gun - pear inc / le labo - another 13 / glossier - you / etc) but my fragrance ride or dies are still byredo’s mojave ghost and nette’s thé vanille… possibly the scents of all time To Me i would repurchase them 100x over.
