WOC: Holiday/Glamourdaze

[Prettypackages]

SIgh, so I had to go to Macy's to get my product. HOw about it didn't end up in my bag. I happened to have a car that night, but normally I don't have a car, and can't get to this location. GRRRRRRRR! This is why I usually only deal with Nordies.
Oh and how about NO ONE has nightmoth in stock.

^^^ Pre-orders should not be this frustrating. Geez!

I'm so tired of waiting for my products... This is what I hate about ordering from my SA at Nordies. It takes me forever and a day to get my orders. If I ordered online I would have my stuff in less than a week. However, she does go out of her way if something is hard to get so I try to keep her in business as much as I can. Anyway, I have this fear that Small Vanity will be ashy on my cheeks. Anyone have comments on it for C7/NC45? I don't want to look like

I'm a little darker than NC45, and Small Vanity definitely doesn't make me look ashy. It's a vaguely ruddy brown, and it just makes me look a bit flushed--nice and natural. I love it so much that I actually bought a back-up!

 

[MissTT]

Thank you. So is it more of a neutral colored blush or is it cool toned? I can't tell these things.

@ Ashy Larry!

It's neutral. It works VERY well on warm toned skintones. I felt that it was the crown jewel of the collection (it sold out first at all of my local pro stores)... followed very closely by Round Midnight.

Thank you. I won't be afraid to try it now. I am a serious product hoarder. I buy things and am too afraid to use them. It's insane I tell you. Still haven't even swatched Rocker l/s or my NARS Joie de Vivre palette.

Small Vaniety looks GREAT on NC45 in my opinion. My favorite of all blushes. It can be used as a little contour and blush in my opinion. Also I'm the One is pretty freaking awesome as well.

I'm taking my Glamourdaze lipstick back its far to similar to One of a Kind from the Semi-Precious collection and I don't even put that one on a lot, doesn't make sense for me to just hoard it. So if anyone wants it that didn't get their hands on it let me know if not I'm returning it this weekend. I was going to get "In the Limelight" nail polish but I'll get a cheaper dupe because I have on Everything that Glitters and its already chipping day one and I can't stand that. Not worth the 17.50!

PM'ed you about Glamourdaze.

But yeah, I really like Small Vanity. I know that it was compared to Notable on one of the blogs (can't remember which), but it's much prettier imho. It's awesome for everyday use.

 

[kimbunney]

I need to put on my Notable because from memory I don't remember it being anything like SV. Notable seems more pink from my memory!

You tempted me with that brush set AND the hanging bag withthat post.   

I love them both. I keep taking them out & looking at them ...no regrets!

Ashy Larry scares me...a girl could have nightmares you know !

I ordered SV but will not likely get until the end of this week because of the storm. I'm wondering if it's anything like Pressed Amber, Mineralize blush, which I love?

 

[MissTT]

Can I just say I love you ladies? Thanks for all your input. I think I'm going to open and wear SV tomorrow for work. (I ordered it online so it's arrived before my store order which is still enroute.) I suppose I should wear it with a dark lip. If I'm up right now I doubt I'll have time to put on all this makeup LOL. I need to hit the hay!

Small Vanity is not anything like a Mineralize. It's nearly matte (maybe a subtle sheen)...



The rest of the swatches from my collection choices are on my blog. Location in my siggy.

 

[MissTT]

Thank you so much for the swatch and thank you for your blog, Ingenue. It's been so helpful to me since I've discovered it and I always check your posts when I see them in my Reader. Your makeup style is so wearable for the everyday professional WOC and that makes you much more relatable - at least for me. The makeup doesn't wear you and your natural beauty just shines through. I always notice you and not your makeup. (Although it always looks beautiful as well.) This is my aesthetic as well so I appreciate finding you.

 

[Ingenue]

Thanks so much for checking out the blog Miss TT! I'm glad you find it helpful.

I just wanted to let u galz who own Outrageoulsly Fun l/s that it looks extra gorgeous paired with L'oreal Color Juice l/g in Grape Soda which is a muted lavender/pink... We can't forget about our drugstore faves

I just realized that the swatch that had me fearing SV may have been incorrectly labeled and was actually Easy Manner. Didn't wear the color today, but I will this week for sure thanks to y'all!

I received Easy Manner today and...it wasn't ashy either, lol. It's subtle but buildable, and once I'd applied two layers and buffed it, it left me with perfect rosy cheeks.
