MAC Prep for Colour Discussion

Speaking of serums, has anyone tried Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch?: Sephora: Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch: Primer It's supposed to smooth out wrinkles and other imperfections on the face...has good reviews at Sephora and is a bit less than the MAC serum, so I'm debating on getting it during Sephora's 15% off in a week or two..hmm.

It didn't work that well on my pores, but I have huge pores. I'm loving it for under the eye area. My concealer/foundation goes on nicely and though it doesn't make my fine lines any less noticeable, it makes the area look more hydrated.

I'm using Clinique's pore minimizer instant perfector now & it's working better for me. Not completely, but better.

I'm now back to passing on the Serum. I don't just want something that smooths out for makeup application. I need time-reversal, people! I found an anti-aging serum in the same line as the moisturizer I'm using, and I can use the Sephora 15% off, so I'm gonna do that instead.

So back to just a shadow or two for me.

LOL! Yeah, time-reversal would be great. I'm all for that.

I want the serum but it's so freaking expensive when I'm trying to save for other collections. C'mon money tree, sprout already!

Yes, I have Sonic Vibe but it is less bright, less fuchsia and more of a strawberry pink from what I can tell from swatches of Just Add Colour.

Is it worth it to buy the serum if you don't use foundation? I want something to brighten my skin since it looks a bit dull most days. I don't put anything else on other than moisturizer.

i would imagine it'd be very good at brightening up your skin if you don't wear a foundation. i've been using a lancome serum the past week or so and when i don't wear make up my skin still looks nice and 'fresh'.

so what serum is it? I'm really loving Korres' anti aging anti wrinkling moisturizer. I never looked my age anyways due to my genes but i don't want to wait until its too late to start using these products...

It could work. Though if you are looking for a skin brightener I think Origins Brighter by Nature serum is the BOMB! I remember the first time I used it - it was like someone switched the lights on under my skin!

Lol, I'm using Korres, too! I'm using their Wild Rose Moisturizing Cream, and I discovered there's a Wild Rose Serum. The WR line is an anti-aging, brightening line. I'm going to buy a couple of the kits, which contain the WR cream, serum, and mask, and their White Tea Cleanser and Evening Primrose Eye Cream. Each of the tubes is 1/2 the full size, so it makes a really great value, especially with the 15% off!

seeing as how the serum isn't effected by, nor does it effect, foundation, yes, you can.

Trying to decide if I want Prepped for Glamour. It seems similar to Satin Taupe, which I have and I am not a fan of. What to do, what to do?

I only got Sorcery. I was contemplating the Serum, but I don't know as I just bought a similar item from Chanel - the uv with the spf 50

Well, if you want my 2 cents, I say stick with Chanel. Maybe I'm biased b/c for the past week I've been using that illuminating primer and I am in love! it has made an indescribable difference in my skin with and without makeup.

Oh my, now I will have to try the illuminating primer!

I haven't even received the Chanel uv Essentiel yet, but I will def. be keeping it. My skin loves Chanel too

I went and checked out the eyeshadows today, and even the MA was like "This one looks a lot like Satin Taupe.. and this one looks like Naked Lunch.. Well, no there's no point in you getting dupes of stuff you have."

Saw this collection yesterday and I'm skipping it. Just Add Colour is very pretty though...
