It would definitely work for her and probably you too Shars

It's really pretty. It's on my swatch list!

I hope you get Shars. The color is so pretty but the formula is just amazing!

 

[Medgal07]

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...

VK I'm just a brush junkie. Are you referring to the powder brush or the one that I used for the highlighter? Any large powder brush or kabuki brush would totally work with
the powder. That said, I love this EL kabuki--it's huge, and soft and cuddly and works wonderfully with the powder.

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.

Thanx Shars!!!

ok well then im gonna take that TF shade n illuminate off my list cuz for the price of those things i need to be using ALLLLL of it mmmm k. i missed out on the blush duo's becuz i was too busy with YSL but i've decided to dibble in TF wagon right now. And since EL is close to heat wave i'll pass lol.

Thanx laydeez you've been amazing help in helpin me decide what to get these days!! love specktra.

Looking forward to your review C. I need to use my current contouring, products but they'll run out someday and I'll be looking for replacements.

I have that coming in as well. Between that, toofaced and that new mufe one there's way too many to try. Have you tried the new ABH cream contour?

 

[Sandy072]

Hey ladies! Has anyone used benefit gimme brow? What do you think? I tried the Loreal brow plumper something or other and the brush was too big, it left blobs of the gel around my brows not on them! Heading to sephora today and might pick up gimme brow. Thoughts??

I haven't used it since I have pretty bushy-like brows anyway, but one of my good friends with thinner brows swears by it and it really makes her brows look thicker than they are. I would say go for it. I haven't heard anything bad about it and the brush is a super nice size.

Hi there!

I really like it to fill my brows when I don't have time to do anything else to them. They really make them appear fuller.
I only recommend this if you already have hair in your brows tho. Otherwise it won't grip to anything.

I have a lot of brushes too, but for the most part I've put them away since I only use like half on my usual rotation.
I was referring to how you are applying the highlight that's a cream, I don't love using my fingers but I will if I have to.

I didn't get a chance to buy the EL highlight powder so I don't have that one. :/ I did order the cream one last night haha

Ok ladies, I added a bunch of pictures with swatches, comparisons and 4 videos comparing the EL powder and ball highlighter. It's a bunch of pics so I updated the thread here: http://www.specktra.net/t/190824/est-e-lauder-courr-ges-est-e-lauder-collection

Happy belated birthday!!! I hope you had a great day, and I also hope you are feeling much better!

I use the MAC 130 Duo Fibre brush. I like it because the bristles are short, and you can dab/stipple the product as well as blend & buff with it.
The brush is also a good fit for the small ball packaging. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the highlighter.

Yay. Good to know.

Based from what I've read on reviews they are very pigmented for fairer skin. Finally a contour set for women of color that actually shows up!

I have that coming in as well. Between that, toofaced and that new mufe one there's way too many to try. Have you tried the new ABH cream contour?

I got discouraged since it is cream and that takes a lot of my time blending it. Lol. I prefer powder contours. But for eveNing or theatrical make up, creams are awesome!
