(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

They won't unless you purchased it from their store---they don't consider returns for anything that was purchased online.

It does make sense but recently I returned a TF NP to a store with no TF counter!

Nevertheless, they could've referred her to CS, give her the number and advise her to explain the problem, anything but suggesting to scratch the blush with a knife like that's a perfectly normal thing to do, when you buy a quite expensive makeup item.

I just picked up Too Faced Beach Bunny Bronzer which has 4 different color stripes for a customizable shimmer/highlight. It's a really pretty soft golden bronze all swirled together

The Mermaid Fantasy powder posted earlier in the thread looks really interesting. Does anyone know of any other highlighters than lean green/turquoise/blue? I am also looking for a highlighter with an iridescent pink quality - Any suggestions?

Also looking for a plum highlighter recommendation… Thanks folks!

For different colored highlighters indies are where it's at! Try darlinggirlcosmetics spectral shifts. She has a green, blue, lavender, etc. my fav blue shifting highlighter is from notoriouslymorbid and is called osteomancy. It's a pearly white with a strong blue shift/sheen. They also have a new highlighter called power of the fae that is gorgeous.

The guy at the EL counter today at Macy's told me not to get the Bronze Goddess Illuminating Powder Gelee. He said it will make me look ashy, which it does when I swatch it. He said gold or copper but this powder is in between which makes it off for me. Not sure. I just looked and now it says it's backordered on Nordies until May 29th. When I placed my order there wasn't a b/o day so I should be getting it soon to see.

Oh and the dude at the Laura Mercier counter at Macy's called me over the weekend to say he got Indiscretion in but I missed his call and didn't check my messages until this morning, lol. Needless to say he sold it (I have it already so no biggie) and it sold out. He said they only got 50 when they asked for 150.

I love my bronze goddess Gelee. It didn't make me look ashy though. Indiscretion is also beautiful highlighter. Did you get Laura Mercier Ritual? That's also a nice Bronzing blush for us woc.

I just placed an order for 4 highlighters from colour pop cosmetics. I can't wait to play with them. I got wisp, avalon, highly waisted and butterfly beach.

Omgosh! Did you see the purple plum highlighter on Colourpop? I'm seriously tempted to get it. I would love to see how some one would rock it.

Indiscretion is pretty, but I'm not in love with it. While it's smooth, it still has some micro flecks in it that show up on my skin. Guess I'm spoiled on the buttery smoothness of Becca's highlighters. I'm going to play with it some more before I decide whether to return it.

Is that "Sticky Sweet"? It does look fantastic. I might have to pick it up when my no-buy is over. It's rather bold, which I am totally into. I wonder if there are more subtle options out there as well. I am hoping that Becca's next SSP LE release is of the plum variety.

That's really pretty.

Would love to hear your thoughts when you wear it.

Quite often products look different on the face than they do when swatched on a hand/arm. I just don't see it being ashy on you---I hope that's not the case!!!!

​ I wonder what's up with that---I hope they aren't trying to emulate MAC's business strategy------limiting supply to create demand.

I think I'll check mine again----I don't think i really paid attention enough to have noticed micro flecks---will check for sure now.

I'm running in the opposite direction from this rabbit hole C
