(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

The Balm cosmetics are about 50% off on Hautelook today. I saw the highlighter on there when the sale started at 11am. ETA: oops, I didn't realize that you may be looking for a brick & mortar store.

Besides ordering online, where could I get the Balm highlighters? I'm really interested in Mary Lou-Manizer but would want to swatch it first!

[COLOR=0000FF]Oh no Lauren-----In that search that I did for you I saw Cindy Luminizer.  I think she needs me.  She just jumped onto my list and undoubtedly will strong arm her way into my cart.[/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]:thud: [/COLOR]

Yes, yes, yes! Cindy Lu is amazing! Mine shattered last week and I have no time for that so I'm buying another soon. Cindy, Betty and Mary are amazing. I wish Sephora still carried it.

Oh gosh I think Cindy and Mary just forced their way into my cart. It's like two for the price of one! I blame @Shars

How do these compare to Becca? I still have yet to bite the bullet on those!

ETA: Ships in 2-3 weeks!? YUCK. I am so impatient. Even though they're 50% off....... what to do, what to do. I guess I can see if they're in my local Kohls and check them out in person, first!

Yeah Hautelook's shipping is ridic! I find them to be reasonably priced on Amazon.com. The Balm also frequently has 50% off flash sales. That's when I bought mine in December. They are absolutely smooth and look divine! I'd say swatch 'em in store and then lie low for a great sale!.

Perfect tip, thank you! I'll keep my eye out for sales.

I believe Kohl's stocks them. Hautelook currently has a slew of the Balm's products for half price, the lou-manizers included. It's only by God's strength that I haven't bought anything.... yet lol.

Might seem like a bargain Shars but it says it ships in 3 weeks and you have to pay shipping and taxes and Ebates is only 1.5 % cash back

. Better off finding in-store
if that's convenient or you don't need instant gratification like the rest of us makeup addicts.

I've found that stuff ships faster than their predicted date but I agree about the instant gratification. I love my products more when I've paid less so I'm happy with waiting lol!

I actually caught a sale at Nordies when I got my first two and shipping was free, Ebates was 6% at the time and they arrived in 4 days.
​ I was VERY impressed with the formula!!!

You guys!!! I just read in the Sephora community forum that the Estee Lauder Heatwave highlighter is coming back for their Summer collection. It's supposed to be out in March if the info on the Sephora forum is correct.

All I would order at this point is Cindy and I think I can do better by waiting too-----not like I don't have > 50 other highlighters to choose from

Nice! I love when Nordies randomly does price matching or a 20% off. I ordered mine from The Balm's website and shipping and processing were really quick too.

That's awesome. I have one open and one backup of Heatwave. I'd say if you don't have it---get it!!!!

Ooh, good looking out. I've been curious about this product. I saw it in youtube videos long after it was gone.

I was actually planning to visit some CCO's to see if they had it or Topaz Chameleon but I will definitely get it when it comes out. If I do see it in a CCO, it would just be my backup!

You need this!!! It looks really good on our skin tone, and it's not too yellow! It's lovely!!! Hopefully they haven't
tampered with the formula---just different packaging.

The packaging has changed too!! It's now a round compact i think!! So excited for that one!!!

​Hi there Highlighter Newbie girl. WELCOME!!!! So glad you found us. Hang onto your wallet---there's some serious enabling in this thread. I'm glad you love Opal. It sounds like you're using the liquid form. I doubt the pressed formula or any other powder highlighter will add to your dryness. You really shouldn't be using enough of the product for it to have that effect. I personally prefer the powders---they're just so much easier to apply versus fusing with a liquid and getting it on evenly. Topaz is lovely and Rose Gold is a winner too. I'm impressed with the pressed formula and I think it even rivals some of my high end highlighters. You might want to try using a moisturizer under your foundation or a moisturizing makeup primer. Good luck!!!

Thank you for the welcome...will look into Rose Gold...sounds wonderful! I have been eyeing that EL Heatwave too...and now I hear from here its coming back...*drools*

Yes! I saw a pic of it somewhere. It looks like a shell

You have a very good chance of finding TC at the CCO.
