z Ok, you're going to make me look at it again.  I didn't like it b/c it was so scratchy. I didn't think it was worth the money.  BUT I have a bunch of nordies notes saved up.    Same here, I don't accept anymore, especially perfume. I've organized mine by perfume, face wash, treatment and etc...  I gave a bunch to my mother.  I also recently lost a bunch when my storage unit was flooded.  LOL, I was told that before too! MUFE shadows, unless I can find a concealer that works.  Right now everything is too light/ashy or too dark/orange.  What are my WOC's using for concealer these days?    I'm not even going to start looking at those 
I use the Nars radiant creamy concealer. Works great and I set it with been Nye banana powder.

Ladies, I've been stuck in a debate between YSL Touche Éclat and Dior's Skinflash. By all accounts, Dior seems to make the better product but it's also half the size of the YSL pen. Also I've read that the YSL pen can start to smell after a couple weeks. Anyone have any feedback on either one? I was leaning towards the Dior but I really don't want to have to spend $50+ every month on a new pen. Oh, and while we're on the debate topic. Anastasia Dipbrow or MUFE Aqua Brow?
You would have to be using an obscene amount of product if replacing every month. A little goes a long way. I used to buy the YSL and I never had issue with the brush smelling foul because I would spot clean it and those times that I went weeks without cleaning....no foul odor.If you're makeup artist I would just transfer a small amount on metal pan and apply with a separate brush. I have Dip Brow and it suits me just fine...MUFE is more long wearing than Dip Brow but for what I do on a day to day basis DB works just fine for me.

Have you used the Dior pen also? I read reviews saying that some people went through the product in 3-4 weeks but I figured they may have just been over applying. Now I'm on the Sephora website and looking at Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. OHHHH the options. I'm too indecisive for this!
I've not tried the MUFE brow products, but I really like Anastasia's products. So that would be my vote. As for foundation, I really like Kat Von D or MAC Studio Fix. I only like super extra mega coverage foundation. 
Do you find those two to have more coverage than MUFE HD? I've never tried either.

Ahhh this was exactly what I was thinking to do! Have you tried the YSL/Dior pens? I'm really wondering how they would compare, since I could buy both the Nars and Ben Nye products for the price of one of the pens, and get much more product. I'm just really looking for something to lighten up my undereye area because man, chasing a toddler around all day and (what seems like) night is exhausting!

I haven't tried MUFE HD. so I couldn't say. But if you're looking for full coverage foundation, either would be a good choice. My only complaint with the KVD foundation is that it sets rather quickly. You really have to buff it out fast.

My daughter has the Dior pen and its not her favorite tool in her kit. NARS Creamy Concealer is pretty nice but I found a dupe that works just the same...Maybelline Fit Me Cream Concealer. I personally love Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealer which I set with Bobbi Brown Retouching powder in peach. I have 3 kids at home plus juggling grad school. I'm lucky if I get 5 hours sleep a night trying to juggle it all so I feel your pain...my youngest is 5 years old going on 15. Kids need to come with concealer, wine and chocolate.lol

Good to know. The Nars concealer is not my fave, I think it creases a lil. Plus I can't get the perfect color match.

Still haven't gotten my $25 off $50 card. :sigh: But apparently people have started using them online so it may already work?
Hey, were you ever able to sort out your NARS order? Sephora never emails me, and it looks like they've stopped mailing me too. I never got my VIB 20% card/email, so I have a feeling I won't be receiving my GC either. :sigh:

I haven't tried the Dior but since you say its better than the YSL, I think I'm gonna try it nextime Im at the store. I've had my pen since arnd end of Oct & I haven't had any problems with smell, drying out or running out yet, but I don't use it that often cuz I'm afraid of it running out quickly.

If you do try both brow products, let me know what you think cuz I have been debating about those 2 as well.

I love the MUFE, it has great coverage. The Studio Fix breaks me out sometimes so I don't but it anymore but alot of people love that one too.
If your looking to use something for under your eye than maybe go with the nars since its a nice creamy concealer. Those pens aren't meant to used under the eye as concealer or coverage or doing that heavy kinda kim k highlighting, its only for adding very slight highlights so u only use a tiny tiny amount, thats probably why they're so small.

Same for me. Thank God for blogs and boards like these. I emailed them about my emails in general and they were supposed to reactivate my email address but I'm still not getting emails. The customer service rep said the gift card codes would be sent out up to December 3rd so that I should wait until then. I had to call them last year though. They wouldn't give me over the phone but said I could call in my order. I did but then my call got disconnected and when I checked my sephora cart, the code was activated in my cart so I was able to add/remove stuff at leisure. I don't know why they couldn't just put the code in your beauty insider area like what they did with the VIB sale. /end rant

I will be pretty upset if people could start using their customized code before everyone has had a chance to get their email and/or mail GC by Dec. 3rd.
