What's the NYX dupe for Cork?

Same thing with Styled in Sepia, it washed me out but Chestnut gave me back some life... Chestnut isn't the same as it was in the early 2000's trust me, in those days it was an overbearing reddened brown which stole the show and I grew to hate it! We have a new relationship now after her rebirth

So this is not the most flattering pic but it's so hard to catch shimmer and glow. This is darlinggirlcosmetics spectral shift in smartie. A pink with strong green shift.

Thanks! The eyeshadow is much better in person! It's from myprettyzombie and its enucleate from the injurious collection and the shade light kat von d palette.

My Duane Read had one last Hollywood Boulevard (and it was intact, because you know how WnW products love to crumble in the display. Like someone just stomped down the isle and they all just fell to pieces, because I can't imagine that that many people are just dropping products and putting them back…) so I took it as a sign. Y'all were right! It is nice! It's similar in color to the BB Shimmerbrick in Gold but much more refined (no larger sparkles). Not bad for $6.

Glad you found one. I looked in one store and they promptly forgot about it. I need to keep a list of stuff to look for when I go in the drugstore. I stop in the beauty aisle thinking there is something I need to look for but then can never remember what it was.

For me NYX Toast works as a great nude but with a lil something.  I stopped by buying Cork.  I sometimes ONLY wear Toast.  I remember the Chestnut Oh Baby days...  I guess that's why I don't let a MUA tell me what I can/cannot wear.   I might have to check out Chestnut again.  

Yea I did Oh Baby and Crystal Beach with Chestnut and Nico with Grape haha... They need to bring Grape back lol... Look into Chestnut again to pair with cooler nudes which may look more flattering with a dose of warmth like SIS, BGRR and even Myth... I prefer the latter with Cork but u get the picture lol

Oh I had Squirt.  I like that one. Glad you found one.  I looked in one store and they promptly forgot about it.  I need to keep a list of stuff to look for when I go in the drugstore.  I stop in the beauty aisle thinking there is something I need to look for but then can never remember what it was. Yes.  That what it was Chestnut was over powering. MAs were always pushing the Chestnut/Chai lipgloss combo on me.  Everytime I think of Chestnut, I think of that heavy lip liner look.  I didn't like it much then either.  In fact, I stopped wearing lip pencils altogether and just started wearing them again last year and now it's like I'm on a mission to buy a new one all the time.  Chestnut is different??? Well, that must mean I need to get it.   Great pic.  Love all duochrome!

Wow I forgot about Chai!!! It was cute in 02

I did but I haven't used it. I'm trying to find some good swatches on WOC before I decide to try it, otherwise I'm going to put it in the clearance bin.

Hmmmm. I swatched it but wasn't convinced that I needed it. I picked up Crisp Whites instead. I wanted more peachy goodness but it wasn't translating to my skin like that.

[COLOR=0000FF]   You know I recently purchased Chanel's Soleil Tan de’ Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid, Sunkissed and[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   OMG---I've been adding it to my Chanel Perfection Lumiére Velvet Foundation [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]and it give the most gorgeous[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   luminosity to my skin---I absolutely love.  I don't know what took me so long to try it.  Prior to this I was either[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   adding Charlotte Tilbury's [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]Wonderglow[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Beauty Flash [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]Primer to my foundation or putting it on top of my[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   foundation because putting it directly on my skin would break me out.  It gave a pretty finish but nothing close to[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   Sunkissed.   I need to give my Tom [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]Ford [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]Fire Lust[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]Skin Illuminator (Shimmering Peach-pink) some love.  [/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]   I prefer that in my foundation too.  So many products, so little time!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  Please let me know how you like KACS Liquid Lightening when you use!!! [/COLOR]:haha: [COLOR=0000FF]Not that I need another[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  one-----I'm just [/COLOR][COLOR=0000FF]asking for research purposes!!![/COLOR]

I knew I read this thread, I found myself looking at that Chanel illuminator today knew it was a recommendation from somewhere , I've been using the wonderglow loads so much so I've used over a half already, have u tried the Mac lustre drops I know I have some kicking about somewhere? but not sure how good they are. Will definitely be getting the Chanel sometime this month trying to space out my beauty purchases so I feel less guilty.

Almost bought Half Red last week!

Half Red is a WOC must!!! It's a pretty dark rose shade that will look pretty with shades like Blankety, Honeylove and Snob
