I've heard great things about that primer. I am always a little apprehensive about trying new primers, foundations etc because my skin breaks out so easily!
Yea it's the best! My skin breaks out from the smashbox photo finish and loracs primer. I think it is the silicone

So, I took the plunge and depotted my Ambient Lighting powers and blushes. I went slowly, and used the flat iron method. The compact does not come apart easily so I just had to leave it on the flat iron a bit longer than normal.

They are baked on terracotta plates, so I made sure to push from the middle and eventually they all came out without tragedy! The Lighting powders fit perfectly in a Sephora or Z domed large palette. Pics are below!

Let me know if you have questions, I can post a step by step if anyone is as crazy as I am :)

I kind of like the strangely mustard-toned one. Not sure if there's a filter on that, but I'm eager to see them all in person. I still miss the shadow duos, though.

It does look like a filter. I'm wondering if the one on the left is another neutral one or if it's lavender and purple shades, it's hard to tell.

I'd love a lavender and purple one, or a lighter neutral one. Either way top left looks like it's coming home with me!

So... I love my Ambient Lighting Blush palette so much I should've gotten a b/u!! I use it all the time and I love to layer them on top of other blushes too. I think I really need more of these blushes and the Ambient Lighting Powder palette too! Amazing quality! :heart:

Although it was originally touted as a limited item, I'm certain it'll be added to the permanent collection.

Is there a good drugstore dupe for the Hourglass mechanical gel liner?
The only thing that I can think that would come close is the Benefit "They're Real!" push-up liner. Again, not a drug store product but that seems to be the closest. Honestly though...I have that liner and only use it when putting eyeliner on others. I don't use it for personal use because it's incredibly flaky. I do like that it dries to a matte finish and I like it once it's on.

Looks like a single Hourglass eyeliner is about 16.00 US. The Benefit one is 24.00 US. I think you're getting a great deal, IMO, by using the Hourglass one.

Does anyone know if the eyeshadow palettes will be coming to sephora? In canada, so hoping they will.
