Rachel, you should be using sunscreen every day regardless of whether you are using retinol or not. It’s especially important for fair-skinned people like us, but everyone needs it. I didn’t start using daily sunscreen until I was about 30 and I regret waiting that long. The main source of damage to your skin that will make you look older in the future is UV rays, not to mention the risk of skin cancer.
Rachel’s natural lip color is so gorgeous. She really doesn’t need to add any colored products. I think that you, Katrina, should really give the pink eyeshadows a shot. With your complexion and hair color….it could look quite romantic!
I agree with Katrina about the Boost, especially since the Ipsy box prices are going up. I was thrilled to receive the PML shadow quad and lipstick.This was a great month with the Huda boost. Next month's boost is not so great.
Very happy to know that this time they have included products from the featured artist in power picks. Much better than in the past. I also love gloss moderne perfume products. This was a great box. Thank you for sharing the unboxing.
That Commodity Gold perfume was in a previous FFF box and it smells amazing. The one in the winter FFF box is Commodity Milk...it is a different scent still good but I like the Gold more.
This was my favorite Icon box ever; I also got the same two Pat McGrath products, although a different shade of lipstick. Having said that, I decided to cancel my subscription due to product overload and their price hike (although that was less of a factor). I thought both of your boxes were great!
Good evening Rachel and Katrina!!! I think you both got great boxes!!! My favorite items would be the perfume, the palette, and the shampoo/conditioner set. I would say you both tied in my opinion. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you both have a Blessed week!!!
Hi Katrina, Hi Rachel! This was my favorite Icon box- perfect balance, for me... Pat McGrath products were ,Dark Star mascara & the Devine Rose Luxe Quad. Murad rapid Collagen. Lastly, Huda Perky Peach cheeky tint. I chose the drunk elephant conditioner, as well. I only have fabfitfun, Curateur, Ipsy & Goldieboxed so, receiving the Huda Empowered palette was awesome!! Great video ladies!!❤
Wow both yr Icon boxes r fabulous! I love the PM lipstick n palette! Love the boost item! Love the Milk Commodity n love the shampoo/conditioner! Great boxes! Beautiful bronzer too! Both boxes r fabulous! ❤❤TFS!
I love watching your videos Hun & you're normally so upbeat. I hope life is going ok & nothing is wrong 🙏 I loved the Icon box, just felt like you both looked a little bit sad this time .. Thank you for your great content & love you!! Bye the way, I think the pallette would look absolutely lovely on your sis 😊🥰 Have a blessed week!!
For my Icon box: I got MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson 3. It's a red, like maybe a cool toned red? I'm not super sure. I got the same eyeshadow quad and Dew Wet Balm. The different items were alo yoga skincare body lotion and Avant skincare mandelic acid toner. I picked up Commodity Gold Expressive fragrance, Byroe Peony Tea Glow Oil, Gold star go bag and addes on a deluxe sample of Juliette has a gun Lust for Sun fragrance.
Both of your boxes were excellent with just the Pat McGrath products alone. Those quads are $62 and those lippies are $39! Her products are so luxe and nice but I only own 3 products because her stuff is so pricey. Worth it if you can splurge but yall don’t even have too cuz this month’s box. The shampoo and conditioner duo is amazing and I think it’s awesome that they included both! I can’t even pick a winning box this month because they are both 🔥!
We were box twins for all five power picks! Rachel, as an older woman with historic sun damage, I implore you to find a sunscreen that you can wear daily. When I was in high school there was SPF 4 and SPF 6!! Maybe 10 as I neared graduation? I have had a dozen biopsies for weird skin spots with more than half of those on my face. Maybe try Stylvana for some Korean sunscreens. I apply the two fingers of sunscreen by drawing a Salvador Dali mustache on my face, then I stare at myself with Dali bug eyes. This morning ritual helps keep me consistent. Luckily all of my results came back benign but I have permanent white spots where they had to take a deeper skin tissue biopsy. Ask for samples at department store counters to try the bougie ones. My favorite is Murad, so I prowl the sales for it. Sephora had a SuperGoop sampler last year, too. Wear the damn sunscreen!! It’s a seat belt for your skin. ❤️💕❤️💕🥰💕❤️💕🥰🥰❤️💗🥰💕❤️
I loved my Icon Box this month! I liked everything except the Danessa Myrick’s. I loved the Too Faced Bronzer. My new favorite blush! Both of your boxes were great, too.
Ugh the one thing though - spf isn't about being low maintenance, it's about skin health and preventing skincancer. As someone with friends with melanoma who have had to have chunks taken out of their face spf isn't so oh well type of thing. I really encourage you to start using spf - your skin will def thank you later Otherwise love your sister va sister video
I dont use SPF & only use Retinol at night. Works great. I would think you would be happy with the boost item. Its well worth it for neutral lovers. I dont like neutrals but still chose it because the other items were terrible. Kinda ridiculous when there are better items in Icon than offered for the boost. That doesn't make sense. That commodity gold is my favorite scent ever. I dont like the commodity milk at all. The milk literally sells for $80 on ebay. I sold it for that advertised as sprayed once. Hmmm my gold was not light at all. I got 2 of the live tinted also. I thought that was odd. I would much rather not clear. I got a clear brow in glam bag, one in icon && one redeemed for points.. BS
