How do you access the Beauty Talk thread? Thanks

You can access it through the sephora website. On the app it's under your profile. Click on profile and you should see Beauty Insider Cmmunity pop up. You can scroll down and see the various active threads. Alternatively, you can Google sephora beauty talk and it should take you to the site. The Fenty thread is pretty active right now so if you scroll down you should see it, or you can search for it. Hope that helps!

Same order, just inside and in sunlight. I'm having issues with pics again, but I have a bunch from this collection on IG. I'll try to post more here later.

I went to the Sephora Rouge Holiday event and lost my mind. I had holiday stuff in the cart but I felt I wanted to try the Fenty stuff more. I just kept putting stuff in and not taking it out. I got two foundation shades because I feel I still have a summer tan. Now that I'm home I think why didn't I just get the darker one and get the lighter one later. Oh I think I just haven't had enough sleep. I may do that. I got the foundation brush and sponge. Trophy Wife. I didn't even try it as I knew I had to have it. I wanted to get the gold match stix too. I am on a layering cream and then powder highlighter kick. I'm loving mixing up the colors with the layering. I really really wanted to get a match stix highlighter. I couldn't decided. I liked every color except the lightest silvery color. I thought well let's see what looks low. Cinnamon one only had one left in the slot. I really liked it. While going back and forth between the displays (this store had the large display with everything and some free standing displays with individual products), I noticed that several of the foundation shades were gone and one was the one I was considering. I asked the SA and she got it out the back and started restocking stuff that was missing. So if you noticed something gone. Ask. I decided to get the matchstix as one had cinnamon and the other had rum and I liked both and it seemed like a good deal. I thought the concealer and contour powders were only available in the set. I didn't know they were available individually. There were many people around the display so it was hard to se everything. There were so many choices, that I decided the set was the easiest. Plus, I had been in the store way too long. Now that I'm home. I am thinking of all these highlighter combinations I could do so I may just return the trio and get more of the highlighter stix. I thought the chili mango?? one would be the most unusual in my collection but I thought of summer when I looked at it and wasn't sure how I would make it work but now I think it would great layered over the Natasha Denona Alba highlighter. Plus there is a peachy gold one that might help out the Ofra Bali highlighter I bought. I really liked it but I thought the Ofra one didn't look as peachy on me as I wanted and this stix might achieve the look I was going for. Oh and I thought Confetti was a standout unusual color. Looked more purple to me than the one that looks purple in the tube. I didn't jump on it because I bought quite a few purples this year and need to take them out and make comparisons. Oh I got the primer too.

I ventured out today. I ended up buying the lipgloss and coming home with samples of foundation in 390 and 400 as well as a primer sample. I really wanted to try some more things but it was crowded and my daughter was over it, LOL. I plan on heading back in next week to pick up a foundation and try some more items.

It does work great on eyes! The Sephora MUA did a beautiful eye look on me with TF Sweet Peach and Fenty GB/MM. The duos are definitely for those who love/are not opposed to glitter. This is fine for me, but it means that GB/MM is out for me because while I don't mind a little glitter in my highlight, it's too much for a blush.

Perfect feedback for me! I will, in the words of Tim Gunn, "Make it work!" ;)
I went to the Sephora Rouge Holiday event and lost my mind. I had holiday stuff in the cart but I felt I wanted to try the Fenty stuff more...

I felt / feel the same! Super excited at the immediate feedback on FB! Plus, I was working during the Rouge event today & ended completely skipping online. I had one product, the Laura Mercier palette, in my sights, but...the very first review online revealed 2 duplicate colors in last year's palette. Un uh! No Ma'am! I do not play that game! So in the end, I am happy with what I ordered from FB.

Hubs has to work tomorrow and I have a jcp order to pick up, so I will wander into both Sephora stores and see what is afoot! I shall report back. :D

It was time to refresh my make-up collection. I decided to just purchase what I truly wanted and will use right away. I placed more orders... Overall, I purchased the following:

Foundation in 100
Foundation Brush
Moscow Mule duo
Mean Money duo
Trophy Wife
Confetti
Unicorn
Sponge
Highlighter brush
Gloss
Blotting sheets
Refill blotting sheets

I really wanted to try the primer, but just ordered the Victoria Beckham primer and am still waiting for it. I wanted to try the blot powder, but passed. I did buy the Beauty Blender set because my sponges are finished.

I don't know about oxidizing, and I didn't think to take any pictures, but I can tell you that it leans peachy, at least on me.

Darn! Most of the swatches I've seen online in different shades lean peachy. I was so hoping it would be a pale neutral. Hopefully, I can put Chanel's cushion on top to get a good match and a more satin finish.

My JCP Sephora was playing Rihanna music non stop and the employees were psyched about FB. The lipgloss smelled soooooooo good. The blotting powder dissolved right into my skin with no white cast left behind, Trophy Wife looked amazing, loved the packaging on both. I'm still hoping for FB lipsticks in the future!

Priscilla Ono was on IG. I think she did Rhianna's makeup. She said the foundation doesn't oxidize. She had a different definition of oxidation than I've heard before but she did say it needs a few minutes to dry down. She compared it to wet paint looking a little different when it dries. I was watching a youtuber apply it and you did see the change in less than a minute. It was interesting.

There are about 5 million youtube videos up on this debut.

I've been watching them and I'm am so confused. I don't know if I got the right shade or not. So many people seem darker than me and have either the same shade or lighter. I'm puzzled. I did remove the makeup on my jaw and tried the lighter color I got. It looked a little light to me. But I bought it because I know I'm a bit darker than normal right now and thought it would be fine in a few weeks. Yet it is looking like I should have gotten something a couple of shades lighter. I was going to try it today but I'm wondering if I should just go back to the store. I hate to be wasteful.

Display in my SiJCP. Still very well stocked today! As was the display in the big Sephora store.

Speaking on the foundation. Take it back and get re-matched. It's not a waste. $34 is still pretty pricey.

As for my foundation experience:

I truly dislike the inconsistency of the artists. Now perhaps I was just this side of obnoxious to the artist I had to deal with today (in the big store), but she was kind of unpleasant and clearly not enjoying her work day. She matched me to 300 (with that god awful tool thing). Clearly this shade is beyond too light for me!

However, the ladies at the SiJCP were having a good old time. In fact the entire JCP store had non-stop Rhianna playing. Anywho, the ladies there really wanted to talk about the release and said they were super busy Friday and yesterday. Both stores were a bit empty today...The artist (SiJCP) matched me to 360 which in daylight looked fantastic.

I will say this, it went on light as air, yet is very pigmented. I am going to play with the sample I got this week and see how it goes. Who knows, I may need to try another shade or two...

From Bottom to Top:
Trophy Wife, Girl Next Door/Chic Phreak, Ginger Binge/ Moscow Mule

I thought I may pick up GND/CP when in the store today, but in the end I was not feeling it once I swatched it. It seemed powdery and not as pigmented. Trophy Wife is just too yellow and glittery for me. So in the end, I am happy that I ordered just the gloss and GB/MM.

I finally stopped by Sephora. I had to speed swatch. I think the foundation in 100 dries almost white and the foundation in 110 dries with that hint of peach. It's difficult escaping the peach in this line. When I mix the two, I get more of a realistic skin shade. The formula is very thin and emphasized every line on the back of my hand. It really looks like dry paint.

Now that I've had a chance to wear the items that I purchased, my overall impressions are it's just ok.

The shimmer stir are getting returned. They just didn't wow me. Nars and Bite do multi-tasking sticks better.

The gloss feels great on the lips BUT it's just a clear very sparkly gloss. Still keeping it BC I will use it.

i have to wear the GND/CF duo more before deciding if it's a keeper. I mixed them together on the cheek and it looked really pretty. My hesitation is that if you look close up you can see the sparkes/glitter from the shimmery side.

Thanks for your help. I tried the 370 which looked too light in the store. I thought it would be perfect for when my tan faded. This was the one I tried on my face in the store. The SA was trying to steer me towards 390 for now. Well I thought the 390 was good for now. I think I needed to just try this all over the face. I tried the 370 and I'm unsure. It is definitely not too light. Looks like it matches my neck. But I do think my face looks dark. I think I just got a more intense tan than I realized. I think that is why I'm feeling hesitant. I just don't look like I normally do. Now that I think of it, on my vactation, my mother git a lot darker than she normally does in the summer. It was the oddest thing. We all wore sunblock that day. Anyhow. The 390 is definitely going back. I haven't touched that one so no waste there. I need to just get samples to take home or try it all over my face in store. I'm just impatient.

As far as Trophy Wife. It is glittery but I don't mind it. I was able to tone it down and apply it so that it wasn't too much so I know I will use it.

Awww! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the stuff that much. I've really enjoyed my purchases so far, especially the match stix. I'm meh on the gloss myself but agree it feels lovely on.

Thanks! The gloss does feel great on. I'll console myself by ordering the new Natasha Denona Lila palette. :)
