I’d never come across SkinCeuticals before, and when their Mineral Radiance UV Defense came over the transom — which is an outdated phrase that I will always love — I was very pleasantly surprised.

I tried it straightaway to make a Snap! Judgement, and really liked that it didn’t look like anything was on my face:
SKINCEUTICALS on the gobWhich is sometimes the look I lIke to go for. You know, the natural one? With this, you get all the coverage, and not only the type that minimises pigmentation: this is stuffed with all those UV filters we need to be mindful of, and yet acts like a light foundation. Perfection!

See here for the full report. It’s an imminent candidate for IUIAU!

Not only the best I Used It All Up, but also the first! I still think of this powder, STILA Set & Illuminate Baked Powder Trio, with great fondness. Read all about how good it is here, complete with the very picture of desperation.

#FirstWorldProblems, indeed.
MEME SHOT

Do all the Chrismassy gift guidey stuff, and then do the year-end wrap-up gig, and there’ll be loads of time — wait. Dammit.

Okay! There are in fact only twelves days left in the year, and many of those will involve copious amounts of cheer, and I’m behind again.

So, off I go, collating links something rapid.
