I like them. I mean, I am not a hardcore highlight lover, because I am oily and have huge pores, but these are sheer, but shimmery, no obvious glitter and have a good number of shades. My favorite is Vanuatu Nude (a truly nude shimmer on me), then Boracay Hibiscus (coppery pink shimmer) and Havana Sunrise (golden shimmer), then the others. I also like that they come with a soft brush that applies them beautifully - keeps my from applying too much.

they sound really nice!

If you like the idea of Boracay Hibiscus, look at Ceylon Cinnamon too. And I dunno about other places, but my area Targets are putting those powders on clearance, so you might want to check them out sooner than later.

Oooh thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely check out Target first.

I've been quite busy in the last couple of days and I didn't have time to write down my makeup looks. On Thursday I wore Hush CCB and Paradiso lipstick during the day, then I really loved my makeup in the evening but I didn't have time to take pictures. I wore Colourpop I heart this on my lids, Bill as a transition shade and I darkened the crease with the taupe eyeshadow from TF Unabashed. CT Dark pearl on the lower lash line. For highlighter I wore TF Softcore - this is a repeat but I wanted something really glowing and it was my second highlighter for the day, so I think it can be forgiven

On my lips I wore Colourpop Wet lip liner and Tootsi lipstick.
Yesterday I had CT Jean on my lids and Mona Lisa in the crease. Chanel Caroube on the lower lash line. The highlighter was the lighter part from MAC Double definition and the lipstick was again Paradiso

I'm really happy with the highlighter challenge! Since I haven't been wearing makeup very often this month, I reached for highlighters I've never used or used just a couple of times (except from TF Softcore)

I hope everyone is having a great day

I wore an Armani eye tint for the first time today - why did I wait for so long?? Two layers of Rose ashes - gorgeous

The highlighter is Poudre de Soie with a bit of the lighter part of MAC Perfectly poised in the middle and the lipstick is Chanel RCS 93 Intime and YSL RV Nude Beige.

What a gorgeous sounding look----very soft!!! I really like RCS, Intime too!!!

I just ordered my 7th and last Armani eye tint---Shadow #7. I put my foot down in only allowing myself 7---silly me. it took me months to decide on this last one but now
I'm wishing I had gotten Rose Ashes because it's so incredibly pretty. I confess that my decision was influenced by an outfit that I'll soon be wearing to a wedding.

Oh BTW---my Bobbbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar and my Chanel Soleil Tan de’ Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid, Sunkissed arrived today---both of which I purchased
under your pressure influence.

Thanks! That's my first (and only) RCS, I was split between Intime and Boy but Intime won because of the number 93, which is my year of birth. I'll probably buy Boy too

I really liked the Armani eye tints! Shadow is the only other one I bought, I'll try to wear it soon and I also want to get more of the neutral shades - Rose ashes was easy to apply and there was no creasing or fading after 8 hours.
I hope you love Nectar and Sunkissed! I've been mixing Sunkissed with my foundation every day since I bought it and it looks amazing!

Today's highlighter was MAC Diamonds, Chanel Poesie on the lips.


EDIT: I meant Songe, not Poesie

I need to use the palette soon!

So I'm not the only one who buys makeup by the personal significance a related number may have.

I allowed myself 7 eye tints because 7 is my birth month
and I picked Shadow, eye tint #7 in part because it's the day of my birth (7/7) but it also happens to match a dress that I'm wearing to a wedding at the end of this
month.

I'm sure I'll love both Nectar & Sunkissed----when I opened the jar to look at Sunkissed I literally gasped. It's gorgeous!!! I've been mixing Charlotte Tilbury
Wonderglow Beauty Flash Primer with my foundation because it breaks me out when I put it on my bare skin. I'm going to try Sunkissed now!!!!

I've also been trying to wear some of my forgotten MAC highlighter loves!!!

No, you're not

My birthday is on the 3rd July (hello, fellow Cancer

) and 3 and 7 are my favourite numbers!
I used some highlighters I've never used, so I'm really happy with this challenge!

I'd never noticed this thread before it was linked in the Tom Ford thread- probably because of the subforum. Unless "pink" is a color, I'm in the wrong area.

That said, can I jump in on the challenges and themes?

I'll be pretty lame with the highlighters- I only own a couple!

My own personal challenge is to try to use products in my untried box on the weekends, to be paired with base products I need to use up (last check: 9 foundations- should be 5, 4 primers- should be 2).

Yay Starletta-------so glad you moseyed over. It's a tad slow at the moment----there are no posting requirements and you share what you want------a look that you constructed that's on theme and or a photo. Those are not mandatory either. Our main challenge at the moment is our year-long lipstick challenge---we make an effort to wear a different lipstick every day for calendar year 2015. Our current month's challenge is wearing a different highlighter everyday. We've also done challenges that focus on a color or a look---like our previous smoky eye look challenge. I usually simultaneously run a personal challenge based on my situation. I've committed to wearing a new and totally unused make item per week, very similar to what you're doing with your untrieds. Feel free to jump on board.

I'm in foundation overload too-----and beauty powder and blush and just about everything, but it's fun and there's no end in sight!!!!

Luckilly I jumped in late- I only own a couple of highlighters!

Today I used Lancome's La Roseraie highlighter.

In my personal challenge, I used (Finish it up) Clinique primer I can't wait to finish, Burberry Sheer Foundation (why did I like this before?), (Newbies) ColourPop In the Lights Set, Bobbi Brown Scotch Brown Gel Eyeliner, Marc Jacobs Blue Me Away eyeliner (lower), ColourPop Cake Lippie & Liner. Along with a couple of other items in rotation.

That's not bad!
