A post that I have bookmarked as a reference when I buy my make-up. And you have two amazing foundation finds in 2020!!! That's awesome :) - just out of curiosity, how does Evan Healy tint oil compare to Gressa one? If I'm not mistaken, you are a fan of the Gressa one too right?

I'm really digging your color choices such as the eyeshadow colors in the Joshua Tree palette!! I would love to see you play around with the colors in a video if I can make a video request ;p it looks so fun! Poppet blush also looks so energizing!!! Please please, I want to see you feature this one day in your make-up video. When I look at it, I don't dare to wear it but that vibrant pink color makes me soooo happy when I look at it. It reminds me of a Kjaer Weis cream blush shade in Happy!

I am also loving Olio E Osso Crema lipstick in Marronee! I got it as a GWP from Ayla's November gift. The color and the formula is the type that is so suitable for everyday wear. Have you seen their new colors? I'm eye-ing on Palissandro - a wearable mauve! Fun fact - RMS beauty lip2cheek illusive was one of the only shades I was able to finish up so I'm excited for Palissandro. Haha! And thank you so much for introducing me to the Evan Healy Balm :) I have been wearing the brown shade on my eyelids almost everyday - such a good shade!

Thank you for bookmarking this, Asti! I couldn't believe there were two excellent foundations in 2020 either. What a great year for foundations! You're correct! I am a fan of the Gressa Minimalist Corrective Serum Foundation. However, I prefer the Evan Healy Tinted Oil Foundation nowadays. The Gressa one has terrific coverage, much more than the Evan Healy, but I don't look for full coverage these days. I also think the Evan Healy one is far more user-friendly. It doesn't cling to dry patches the way the Gressa one can if using too much, and it just works so well with my skin. It layers beautifully and great with other makeup also.

Energizing is a perfect description for Poppet! It's an instant mood-booster for sure. (I happen to be wearing it today!) I will definitely film a video where I feature this; thank you for requesting it.

So happy to hear you love the Olio E Osso Crema lipstick in Marrone too! I bet it looks lovely on you. I hadn't seen Palissandro and just looked it up. Of course, it looks beautiful as well! If I were a makeup maximalist, I would buy one in each shade. The Crema Lipstick is so underrated! I too, love the RMS lip2cheek in Illusive!! I've also wanted to try Valencia; I think it'd be great for Spring/Summer.

I'm delighted to hear you're wearing the Evan Healy almost every day. You'll have to send me a photo!

Oh that's good to know! And it's always a plus to find a face base that works with our skin! The clinging to dry patches was actually what deterred me from purchasing *kosas tinted oil* (another product, but similar concept?!)

Hi5 on RMS Illusive! I have not worn a color like Illusive in such a long time. I just checked out Valencia and in my *strong* opinion, it will look SO beautiful on you and your complexion! I pray you will get your hands on it. I got a sample of their tinted balm version called Apricot - Valencia is reminiscent of that - I have been obsessed so beautiful!

I did the same! Didn't want to purchase the Kosas Tinted Oil because when I tried it, it clung to my dry patches too.

And thank you! I saw when they released their Apricot shade, and it looked beautiful! I can already imagine it on you looking gorgeous. So happy to hear you're obsessed with it!

Don't make me choose! I love both, and because the format is so different (stick vs. tinted oil), I feel there's a reason for both, haha! I would have said Evan Healy, too, but I know most of their items have castor oil in them…
