Anneri - Do you find Rose Vinyl to be very bright, or it is buildable? Violet Edition looks delicious! Maybe I can do a sheer coat.

katred - I swatched the new foundation too, and I agree about the fresh light scent. I like how it looked and felt on my hand, but the store didn't have samples at the time. I didn't try to find my colour match too. Maybe I can drop by and ask for a sample. The concealer doesn't cover my dark circles sufficiently. I used it today because it was the only concealer I have in my makeup bag today, and my undereyes look grey lol.

Hm... I'll have to check about the concealer. When I tried it on, I had makeup on already and although it was probably faded a bit from wear, that may have made the concealer look like it was fuller coverage than it actually is. My under-eye circles can get a little intense, so I prefer having something that can really freshen my face up.

The shade range in YSL is good and broad, it just seemed to randomly skip steps. The yellow-toned shades seemed to start at a darker point than the pink toned ones. And the pink tones are quite pink. I tend to go for a neutral shade to balance the pink tones in my face. I do not need to rock the Miss Piggy look. I also didn't have a chance to see whether the formula oxidises/ darkens over time. A couple of bad experiences means that's always something I want to make sure of when I buy.

I saw the Northern Lights Holiday collection at Nordstrom yesterday. Pictures do not do the holiday quad (Pure Chromatics Collector Boreal Palette Nuit Artique) justice. These are not my usual go to colors but this quad is amazing and I will go back and get it. There is a depth to these shadows that does not come through on the print ad pictures.

I purchased " Nuit Arctique " eyepalette yesterday, it's really beautiful. Eyeshadows are pretty sheer but they wear quite long, to me this quad is great. Special packaging included.
I think you can't be disappointed by this palette, you'll tell me ? I am not an fan of YSL, it's my second palette. I also have a beautiful Rouge Pur Couture mat and 2 nail polishes ( both great ), the Holiday collection is pretty.

Has anyone tried the holiday highlighter? I'm so curious about it, but can't find good swatches.

I saw pics of the quad. It looks very pretty. Is it like the other blue quad?

This quad is really different. Very subtle colours, "half-sheer" and great combination of shades. The artistic Director wanted it to look like a dawn or dusk in the far North, it is exactly how it looks ( in my opinion of course ).

I think it is very similar to last year's highlighter. I swatched last year's and only didn't buy it because I couldn't justify the cost. This year's feels the same and gives the same effect on the back of my hand, the only difference being that this is all one colour, whereas last year's was 3 very slightly different tones

Thank you very much rockin!

I have the Blanc Terriblement Highlighter and might skip this one now.

BT is really pretty but I think that I don`t need another one.

I got a sample of the Teint Eclat. It feels wonderful, but I'm worried it might be a little too "glowy" for me. My skin had a lot of shine to it by lunchtime, even in spots where it's normally dry... I got enough for a few applications, so I might play around using it with different primers.

how do you feel about coverage?
Click to expand...
The coverage was good and it seemed to last fairly well. I want to test it outside my office, which seems to have atmospheric conditions that kill all makeup. It's definitely on the glowy side, but it feels lovely and did a nice job of evening out my complexion without being very heavy.

Today, I'm trying out Becca's new "Luminous Skin Colour", which works a little better for me. Loving this one!!
