All Things Sephora

[Medgal07]

I don't have Purple Haze so I can't make any comparisons but its the shift. It's a beautiful burgundy with a purple shift that I think will look good with Lounge

Blush isn't really my thing. I usually buy shadows and lipsticks before I even look at a blush. I swatched Cola Pop yesterday to see what all the fuss was about. It's a darker berry blush. I swatched and then shopped and wandered around the mall while I waited to go see Avengers: Age of Ultron. It stayed put! It looked great on my complexion. I have to agree that Cola Pop is a winner if you are near to my complexion. To be honest when the original pops came out I was honestly unimpressed. So i thought I would be again this go around. I only swatched Cola Pop but I'm open to swatch the others.


Now about the Becca SSP Poured in Topaz...


YAAAASSSSSS!!!!!! It's beautiful and doesn't feel greasy on. That is my greatest fear with cream products. If you like an in your face highlight this is it. It can also be blended out to be a bit more subtle. I'm curious how pressed would look over poured.

I was just going to ask you if you set your creams w/powder---that's one of my pet peeves w/ creams. If I don't
set them, they either fade or migrate

Also. I feel if I have to set it w/powder I can save a step by just using a
powder product.

I didnt realize that she was looking for a primer until after i got a chance to catch up with the thread. Oops. At the sale, one of the SAs suggested I use the MUFE spray to set everything when I'm done since I have more of a problem in the warmer weather. I really like it. Edit: By the way, glad you got Quiver. I hope you like it.

I responded to you before I got a chance to catch up with the thread not realizing you're looking for a primer. I use the MUFE spray to set my makeup. It works really good.

Well Primer Water is supposed to do it all and without alcohol. That's what I was inquiring about initially. I can always use another setting spray, thanks.

I saw that a little while ago and ordered it. I should have it by the end of next week. I wouldn't use Mist & Fix the same way as Fix+. I'd only use Mist & Fix when your makeup is done to set it or freshen it up. It really sets things as opposed to Fix+ which, for me, helps my foundation go on smoother.

Oh does it? I only started using it before foundation recently. I've always used it to refresh and/or finish. Not sure what I think of it under or if it makes a diff for me.

Laura Mercier's Oil-Free Primer and UD All Nighter Setting Spray

I've been meaning to try All Nighter.

I remove items as I buy them. I feel a sense of accomplishment when the page is empty or near empty.

I definitely do that with my regular shopping lists in the Colornote app. But that's because I can see items crossed off. Wish the loves list was like that, lol.

Yeah for my dry skin it provides extra moisture so the foundation won't cake up. It can also be used throughout the day. I use it after I'm done with everything. It's just that the Mist & Fix+, in my experience is always better after and nothing more.

How do you apply your foundation? I use a damp beauty blender and it's my new favorite over my stippling brush. I was afraid my foundation would turn out splotchy, but it's more even than any other application I've ever used. [@]montREALady[/@] I put my Marc Jacobs Highliner Crayon to the ultimate test today. The first half of the day my right eye kept watering and the second half of the day my migraines have had me in tears. My eyeshadow is gone, but my eyeliner is still perfect.

I have dry skin too. So you put it after your primer? I spray it on my face right out the shower. Then do my routine. But like I said I've been using it primarily as a refresher/wake-me-up.

I tried the damp bootleg bb last night and I felt like it wasn't doing anything. Perhaps I'll try when I get my legit one Omg today I just had on CG Queen CC cream with a little Becca Topaz SSP on top, NYX Illuminator as a cheekbone highlight and SheaMoisture cream blush for a natural look and my left eye started bothering me in Target so I put eye drops and there was a long streak down my cheek right through everything. I was so pissed! Need to check out the MJ. Hope you're feeling better!

That seems to make sense but I'm not sure because I don't use primer. I spray it on the first time after I wash and moisturizer my face. I let it sit while I do my brows. Then I'll spray my face again before applying my foundation. If I'm using a brush to do it then I'll spray that, too. I really don't think there's a wrong way to use it.

Question, why don't you use primer? Just curious. I never really did before either. What foundation do you use?

I've tried primers before and they never seemed to make a difference. I've never had a problem with my foundation not lasting either. My Embryolisse moisturizer acts as a primer in that it makes my skin smooth, so I just stick to that. I mainly use MUFE foundations. I've used them all except mat velvet because my skin isn't oily. Right now I have Liquid Lift as my main and pro finish and hd as alternatives. Last year I used D&G's cream foundation and really liked that one, too.

Your eyes are amazing. I'm trying to figure out if it is the eye makeup or your actual eyes. Perhaps it is both.

I like the ABH enough. Perfect for everyday for me. The Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle? Yeah subtle. Got one in the Best of Becca kit. I guess okay if you're going to the beach and don't want to get all made up or something.

I think she was referring to the new Becca Lip Souffles and not the cheek ones.

What happened with those crazy high point rewards? I thought Sephora said in the next week we'd see them? Was I snoozing?

They haven't shown up yet. I hope they wait awhile so I can get my points up.

 

[Dolly Snow]

Are the (P)Outliner longwear lip pencils from Marc Jacobs worth it?
I've been eyeing well all 3 lol

I bought nude(ist), and I like it, they go on smoothly and can fill your lips in as well.
