After seeing more swatches and videos on Instagram I had an episode and ordered 2 more highlighter duos, her highlighting brush, and 2 of the Becca Light Chasers which I have thought about on and off for months :shocked::scratch:
Um. Preach!!! I didn't realize my SiJCP was getting it, and when I checked for stock it said no until later this morning. So I went and also had an 'episode.' I may have re-Rouged in the process. :rolleyes:

I was able to check this out in person. It was crowded so I wasn't able to swatch a lot but the highlight powders are very shimmery. Several SA's were wearing the gold highlighter and it looked beautiful but it was not a subtle highlight. I'm not sure if there is a way to apply it so that it would be more subtle.

The shimmer stix are sooo pretty. Less shimmery/more wearable than the powder. I picked up trippin and ridic(sp). Ridic should be a nice blush. I can't wait to try these tomorrow. My online order should be delivered on Monday.

I agree! The powders are SUPER shimmery...I tried to use GB/MM as highlighting blushers, and yeah, so.much.sparkle. I'm not a huge cream product person, but the Match Stix have surprised me! They're lovely!

I've been bit by the bug so I'm going to check it out in person and I'll try to get pics and post them. The match stix I'm curious about and as a lip product lover, I'll check out the gloss.

its also refreshing that she obviously made sure there was a lot of stock which is more than likely why it hasn't sold out and I think the price point is a plus as well. I do wish the packaging had more but fancy packaging equals mark up so you gotta pick your poison I guess.

I'm shocked that the products I just looked at online have ZERO reviews. Sephora must be suppressing them.i wonder why? You know by now, someone would have something to say about the products.

The sephora beauty talk thread for Fenty has a ton of pics and reviews which is interesting. I've been oogling at the pics. Good thing I like shimmer because the highlight duo's are looking gorg, and shimmery as you mentioned.

You guys are so funny. I'm having a ball reading this thread. I need to get off here and get ready for the Sephora event early in the morning.

I want soooooo many products from the line, however, I limited myself to 3 for now. I bought the Fenty Rose Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer, the Trophy Wife Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter, and the Yacht Life Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick. Although I intend on using my own brushes to apply the highlighters, I am interested in the Cheek-Hugging and Portable Highlight Brushes so I may get them should I feel like they would apply the products better than the brushes I have. As for the foundation and the Match Stix Matte Skinsticks, I would like to swatch them in person before I purchase them to make sure I get accurate matches for my skintone, however, I'll do that once the hype dies down since I already have quite a few foundations and a ton of concealers and contouring products. When I do get those, I'll probably get the primer, the blotting powder, the foundation brush, and the precision makeup sponge as well. I'm definitely interested in getting more of the Kilowatt Freestyle Highlighters and Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks but I want to try the ones I bought first before getting more. Overall, I think I just want everything, lol.
Good job doing 3 products. I think these are my faves too! I think I want everything too. Totally surprising to me for some reason.
This line reminds me of what Kim Kardashian was trying to do with her KKW Beauty line except not cheaply done. Even the packaging is like the more polished version of that.
Yes. I think the problem with this line (well at least for me as I have no interest at this point) is that Kim K is known for her makeup but primarily one look. She doesn't change her look too much. Same for her clothes for that matter. No color. I think she just wears black, tan and white. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Face is contour, matte highlighter, bronzer, nude lips. She looks gorgeous but it is not trendy so to speak. Doesn't really inspire change. Now Rhianna is always changing up her look. Colorful makeup, colorful clothes. I don't always like what she wears but I do find it interesting. Plus, people are always asking what lipstick she is wearing. Also, Rhianna has LMVH behind her too. I don't know if Kim does but I doubt it. Not hating on Kim.
Well, hubby sent workmen to install a new AC yesterday and after a 2hr cleanup, shower and Project Runway I went to bed only to discover that the AC display light is super bright.
It kept me up all night and sometime early this morning my dark undereye circles and I went on the site and ordered Trophy Wife via PayPal.
I'm hoping the transaction goes through with no issues.
Funny how that happens. It was the beauty fairies at work. Trophy wife looks gorgeous.
I am holding on until tomorrow, when the Rouge holiday preview happens...would rather place one order than a couple. Fingers crossed the Moscow Mule/Ginger Binge and lip gloss will still be in stock ;)
I'm going too and was going to wait for this. Funny, I was originally going to check out the holiday products and now I don't even remember what they were. Why would they schedule an event like this the day after such a big launch?
After seeing more swatches and videos on Instagram I had an episode and ordered 2 more highlighter duos, her highlighting brush, and 2 of the Becca Light Chasers which I have thought about on and off for months :shocked::scratch:
It happens to us all. I still haven't picked up those light chasers. Watch they disappear and then I'll be mad. I even bought the new Becca highlighter Lilac Geode yet still haven't gotten to these.
I had all 3 but gave away the first one...it was too natural. If there wasn't so many good things coming out (ND Lila palette, CT eyshadow palatte) I would buy a back up of beauty glow
Yes, this is my dilemma. The next couple of weeks are going to be so hard. So many beauties coming out. Wait. I don't remember a CT eyeshadow palette. Did I miss it or am forgetting with all these releases. Off to research. Thanks.

I was thinking they would have a nice amount of stock since it was such a large launch and a permanent collection. I think maybe some companies are learning that this constant out of stock limited thing is becoming a turn off. Well, I hope they are. Would not be good for everything to be gone overnight. But . . . once I saw Rhianna stepping into Sephora last night with that gold highlighter on. I thought well . . . maybe that one will go. It looked gorgeous on her.

So I went and ended up with nothing. The duos were way to shimmery for me although they are pretty I don't do glitter. The lipgloss is sticky although the color is pretty but I can't with sticky lipgloss. The match stick in Sinome I liked but its cream, had it been in powder I would have gotten it. I don't know why I still even look at cream face products when I know that don't play nice with me. The foundation is Matte which is a no no for me so I didn't even test it. As most have stated the duos are the stars of the collection but be warned that they're very shimmery.

I hope I got the right shade I picked 420 and Im a nc 47 in the winter so I hope it doesnt oxidise too much. This was a smooth wide launch everything still in stock love that they didnt went with the hurry up before it sells out especially with the one gloss release that could easily sell out.

My thought/solution for too much shimmer is to flip the use. ;) The GB/MM duo looks it would also work great on the eyes.

My overall gist of the FB vibe, is the that many of these are multi use products. Kind of like Bite Multi / NARS Multiple. GND/Chic Phreak is now on my :heart: list

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 for me.
Oh no!!!! Once again, follower numbers/$$ prevails. However, the launch was HUGE, though, so I'm hoping he scored a generic in rather than specific invite.

I got to see some of the line in person yesterday and swatched a few things. Swatched two of the highlighters (Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby duo + Metal Moon), which were very beautiful.

Also swatched four of the lightest shades of the foundation. Personally, I couldn't tell too much of a difference between 100 (lightest neutral shade) and 110 (lightest cool-tone shade). Both 100 and 120 seemed to lean peachy (a pet peeve of mine in regards to foundations that claim to have "neutral" undertones), and the lightest warm shade was a bit dark.
