I emailed Sephora after seeing the posts about the bad batch of Lolita. I ordered mine online on 12/24 and I always felt like it was really dark but figured oh well, must be my ski tone. In my email I explained that I ordered online, included a screenshot of my order number and information, told them it was darker than what I had tested in store and asked if mine was part of the bad batch and if so, is it too late for me to return it? The reply I received says that sephora.com can't help with in store purchases and to look on my receipt for return information. OY!!!!

Has anyone tried the new UD Pressed powder foundations? I swatched in store, and the fair/cool (for 0.5) matched my skin perfectly. It seemed to blend really nicely on my hand. I saw a lot of reviews on sephora saying it oxidized really badly and went orange. So strange! Has anyone had experience with this powder? I want to use it for lazy days when I have to get up really early for class, or even as a light dusting over my liquid foundation. Thoughts?

I ordered mine online as well and am getting a refund( I am in Canada and they can't send a replacement through Canada Post). If I were you, would just call customer service.

I think you're right, I'll see if I get a reply from the email I sent back and if not I will just call. I thought email would be easier because I attached my order info. Oh well! :)

It took me a few different applications before I started to love my sample. I tried fingers-- AWFUL. I tried a beauty blender... no! And then, I tried my mac 187 and really loved how it looked. My Sigma f80 also made it look really nice on my skin, but that shxt eats up foundation and I needed 3 pumps for the same coverage that I got with my mac 187 in 1.5 pumps.  I'm sorry you don't like it, though! :(

I loved it via first application. Then second time changed up the method and hated it. The finger method is :pooh: I found I prefer using a brush. Still I love it, but will I buy it...idk.

Stinks.  What didn't you like about it?

Several things. It was difficult to apply (my Sigma F80 worked best, but still not great). It took a lot linger to apply than other foundations for me. It wanted to cling to every dry patch that I didn't know I had, and it settled into every pore and amplified them. It oxidized VERY orange on me, too. It was a perfect match when I applied it, but then an hour later I looked in the mirror and it was just awful. By the end of the day it was just a mess. I had such high hopes. It might work beautifully for some of you ladies so I'd just test it out first. It just didn't work for me.

My F80 also gave me the best result. I think I ended up using 4 pumps with that method. It also disappointed me that I had to use so much. It didn't give me the coverage I need for my rosacea and it didn't layer well for me. I'm glad you found a method that worked for you. If I didn't have so many skin issues/concerns then it might have worked better for me.

We have a winter storm heading our way tomorrow afternoon. I'm watching the meteorologist on the news and thinking...I hope UPS drops off my 2 orders before the storm gets here.

Being stuck indoors, due to snow, is the perfect time to play with new makeup. Come on UPS...don't let me down.

Btw I have noticed that usually "weightless" foundations omit oil controlling properties to maintain a light as air feel on the skin... I told the Nars counter manager and she gave me a sample of a oil controlling NARS primer so let's see wut it gives haha

Hi @Pinkcrush. What was the verdict with the oil controlling NARS primer? Is it worth purchasing?
