This is kind of a glitterbomb, but I got it more because of the kitty motif...

Cute

Broke down and bought indiscretion. Anyone have comparisons to becca rose gold?

 

[crystalzi]

Oops just saw the indiscretion swatches compared to opal and rose gold. I have opal and they look so similar maybe I should have skipped. :/

I love the Bronze glow one

Goodness you aren't lying! Thank God I swatched it! I still have glitter on me. It's pretty but more as a body shimmer or something...décolletage area...that's too much excitement for the face. At least the lighter of the two, Aura is not like that. The more pink one.

aura is very nice and i think it looks better on medium and darker skin because on lighter skin it just blends in but you can see all it's beauty on darker skin tones
also it's very pretty when applied with a wet brush it almost looks metallic

Anyone mess with UD Naked Illuminated? Good? No? Going to Sephora now, we got out of work early, woohoo!

I have both aura and luminous and love them. A girl at sephora taught me a trick to tone down the glitter. Just dip your brush then spray with water or Mac fix plus and it comes on less glittery and more like a sheen. Either way I love them.

[COLOR=0000FF]  They're on racks, sorted by color, not by brand.  I couldn't keep them in boxes...what I can't see I don't tend to use, and they look so pretty out.[/COLOR]

thanks for that! It's so difficult to store polish.

Hi guys! It's time for me to stop lurking and officially join the thread as a true Highlighter Addict (and a total backup hoarder). My current stash consists of: MAC Whisper of Gilt x4 MAC Superb x3 MAC Magnetic Appeal x1 MAC Double Definition x1 Bobbi Brown Bronze Glow x4 Estée Lauder Heat Wave x2 Estée Lauder Modern Mercury x1 Estée Lauder Topaz Chameleon x1 Dior Nude Tan Transat Edition x5 Dior Amber Diamond x2 Laura Mercier Indiscretion x2 I'm obsessed with looking like I have healthy, glowy skin, so my collection of highlighters is growing rapidly! ️

Well damn...you have enough glow for a lifetime! :shock:

I found the lighter to be more sparkly..maybe the tester of the pink was crappy because I didn't find it as nice as the other.

yes the lighter one is definitely more sparkly, the pink one I have goes on well. Maybe it was like that because so many people touch it with their hands and the oils have changed the texture of it. It's not for everyone due to the sparkle factor.

I caved and ordered BC. I figure if it's too pigmented for me I can give it to a friend.

I like the way you think lol

You can control that---just start with a small amount and build it to your liking. if you happen to put too much on, it covers with setting powder.

Swatched Sephora's

Sounds pretty. I'll have to revisit in store and look at swatches online. I do like how Sephora's MicroSmooth Baked Luminizer in Light Beam swatched. Anyone have it? Pretty small, but I guess for $14 it's expected.

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. It's nice to be amongst fellow addicts lol.

 

[Medgal07]

thanks for that! It's so difficult to store polish.

This is the setup that works best for me. They are 4 individual racks that I mounted in twos, on on top of the other. Each hold sover 100 NPs depending on the size &
shape of the bottles. The racks are completely fullI now and I have an overflow box. So ridiculous but I can't help myself!!!

yes the lighter one is definitely more sparkly, the pink one I have goes on well. Maybe it was like that because so many people touch it with their hands and the oils have changed the texture of it. It's not for everyone due to the sparkle factor.

That's what I figured, I'll check it out again. I remember when they each came out. I wasn't into that then, so I'm late. Thanks for your help!
