>>412799I buy one or two name brand products a year "for the experience" and most of my lip products are luxury at this point, my favorite Guerlain matte lip is not that much better than one from Romand that I used before even though it's 4x the price, but I love it because it has a unique experience of use that gives it "prized personal item" status. The Lancôme lip oil I used before had a unique texture, look and smell. My problem with the Dior lip oil is that the "experience" is kind of boring. It doesn't smell good, does nothing for lip color, texture is meh. It only looks cool when you apply it in front of other gen Z cosmeticfags who can't afford it. It's not terrible by any means, it's just my most disappointing "experience" to date along with Gucci Beauty lipstick that's quite honestly a shitty product but has the remaining quality of looking like a work of art so the swag of reapplying it makes up for having to do it every five minutes. I'm not sure what I was expecting, I guess I just wanted the novelty of buying an actually hyped product after a lifetime of purely personal choices
>>413341My favorite lazy day item is the wet n wild blushlighter in the shade "I met someone". It's a duo of a rose gold and beige gold shimmer that you can easily use on your whole face as blush, highlighter and eyeshadow so you don't have to buy several things, and it's very cheap.

Also that palette is really not well designed so you're better off keeping your money. Personally I like the Smoky Brown quad from Burberry, but there's probably a better one for cheaper somewhere.
