I use my damp beauty blender (the black one) and it really makes it look perfect. I tried it with my sigma f80 that i dampened with fix plus first and it was nice but I definitely prefer it with a beauty blender!I have the Dior Star too and I really like, but how do you apply yours? I bought the Dior Backstage Blender and I don't think it does it justice.
Um…no. But you already know that. Are the shades very different from what you already own? Many of us keep buying the same colours over and over because we're drawn to them only to find out that we've added yet another dupe to our stash.If anyone has a spare F&F code they wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate your generosity!
Also - how does the Tarte blush palette perform? I don't know if I was sold on Temptalia's swatches of it, and I've already bought the Benefit blush palette and plan to buy the Hourgalss one too ... do I need three blush palettes? I'm still so drawn to it!
Thanks! I'm going to try that. The Dior blender is very firm and I don't think you are even suppose to dampen it because it doesn't expand like the beauty blender. I sometimes feel it makes the star look cakey when applied with dior blender.I use my damp beauty blender (the black one) and it really makes it look perfect.

I love Nirvana Black but I find it wears off my skin within 5 hours, whereas the Tom Ford scents I've tried wear waaaay longer than that. Also, one of the perfume samplers from Sephora Favorites has both those scents in it, so you could grab that then redeem the scent card for whichever you find you prefer. Here's the link: http://www.sephora.com/perfume-sampler-P389011?skuId=1633031I'm trying to figure out what I want to buy during the F&F sale and what can wait for the VIB sale. I think I might buy perfume this sale. Does anyone have Tom Ford Velvet Orchid and Elizabeth & James Nirvana Black? If so, do you think they smell similar? If anyone else has an opinion, please feel free to chime in.
I would probably skip the tarte blush palette and go with the hourglass and benefit.If anyone has a spare F&F code they wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate your generosity!

that's very strange, star never looks cakey when I do it with the beauty blender! hope it works out for you!!Thanks! I'm going to try that.

I received a sample card of TF Velvet Orchid in a package at work. My coworkers and I smelled it and most people were not fans. I receive a lot of compliments when I wear Nirvana Black. Just my input.I love Nirvana Black but I find it wears off my skin within 5 hours, whereas the Tom Ford scents I've tried wear waaaay longer than that.

Oh yay thank you! I was wondering about the Nars sets. Really want the velvet lip pencil set!hboy: What a day. So I kept checking my email...nothing, so I left to go out of town, take care of business come flying back home hours later..yep, THERE IT IS ompom: go to place my order (nothing I wanted is sold out in my cart, another ompom: ) go to hit the submit button :thud: it wouldn't process my cc :shock: I know its good, so I call the CC company & I'm on the phone with the fraud dept. - yep, my card had been hacked & they did one of those trial purchases for .62 CENTS! so the bank caught it & closed my card I did laugh with the lady in the fraud dept. because I said, seriously you would know its fraud because thats not the way I shop - its 62 CENTS :lol: So, I explain to her that I am in the process of an order I NEED to make because I have a special code & product may sell out so can you let it go through & then close my card :amused: - she did ompom: Good heavens
Nars posted on their instagram today that the rest of the sets (blush palette, eye palettes, lip pencil set, etc.) will be up November 1st. So if the VIB sale is around the same time as next year, the Nars sets will be there just in time. Nars also tends to do their own 20% off F&F sale around thanksgiving time so if you miss anything, it's a nice second bite at the cherry if what you wanted wasn't a Sephora exclusive or another store exclusive. As long as your photographer won't be using flash, you should be fine with the Makeup Forever HD. Depending on your budget, you could also maybe try the Marc Jacobs genius gel foundation.
Ah, sorry, my mistake! Dammit, I double checked and everything (obviously not well!).Thanks! Unfortunately, TF Velvet Orchid is not part of the sampler. That means that I can't use the certificate on it, right? If so, I may pick it up for ,h daughter
