All Things Sephora

So I tried out that NARS oil-free Pro-Prime Pore Refining primer and it did control my oil enough to where I only had to blot once last nite versus a few times... I ran my powder brush over my t-zone and forehead after about 3 hrs and I was good

I liked my sample so much I bought a tube last night! U get 1 oz for $34 plus tax so this will only be used for special occasions... Anyone know of a decent cheaper everyday primer for combo oily skin???

Has anyone swatched the new EL powder against Modern Mercury?

Yes. Modern Mercury is pinker than the Illuminations Face Powder. Both the powder and the Iridescent Ball Highlighter are very close to Heat Wave.

Great, thank you!

Great, thank you!

Are you getting the powder or the eyeball, as I've affectionately named it? I wore them Friday night and they're awesome on.

I've heard that Smash box has a great one. I personally swear by the MUFE HD Primer. I really like it. I've not bought a full sized bottle yet because they are almost always available as a 100 pt perk.


Flash shipping is going to be the death of me. I just got Polished purple from Sephora.

I have a small bottle of the MUFE primer that came with the HD starter set... It doesn't seem to be amazing on my combo oily skin tho

Do you watch the Fancyface? I mentioned the Smashbox primer the purple blurring one because she raved about it. She said she has oily combo skin.

The powder has already been ordered.

I think I'll skip the eyeball. I'm trying to avoid cream products these days for various reasons.

Awesome!!! I HATE cream highlighters but the EL Iridescent Ball is different from any other cream highlighter product that I own. I'm wearing it again today and I'm loving it. It's not fussy like my Tom Ford Fire lust or even the TF Shade & Illuminate duo. It's so incredibly easy. I think the packaging is a bit odd but I like the product.

Oh VK I hope you like the 'eyeball' I'm not a fingers person when it comes to using product. The MAC
130 was perfect with this small ball-compact.

The el powder is it a highlighter or finishing powder?

Saw your question in the product thread and responded there. Hope it helps.

haha.. I hope I like it too. I wanted the powder but I didn't get it that only day it restocked.. so waiting for it to show up again either in stores or online.. I hope it does :/

I don't own that brush but I do need one like it so maybe I'll buy that too thank you!
I don't usually use my fingers for my makeup, but for highlight I wouldn't mind...

Most of the WOC I've seen review his blushes have either Narcissist (that darn LE elusive one) and Flush which is a pretty coral blush. Wicked would probably work for your skin tone though.

I do like the TF Shade & Illuminate Kiki but I honestly use the 'shade' product more. The highlight is a tad fussy for me versus a less creamy or powder product that
requires way less work effort. I'm wearing the EL Iridescent higher for the second day in a row. I do like it. Its color is very close to EL's Illuminating powder Gelee,
Heat Wave. As for TF blushes---I own every one of them ncluding last year's two blush duos. If you're thinking about Wicked I say go for it. It does not disappoint!!!
It's one of my favorite of TF's blush line.

It would definitely work for her and probably you too Shars
