A few words before getting into this picture preview… The Ordinary is a new skincare line from Deciem meant to shade skin care companies for price gouging.

In the midst of Instagram hype, I bit the bullet and ordered two of the Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipsticks ($20.00); one in Flirt and the other in Trophy Wife.
