Ok, tag, you're it! (when you get settled, of course!) Hope the move has gone well. I've stayed in the same place for years b/c I'm too overwhelmed by the idea of moving!

I'd passed by it quite a few times thinking "that looks tacky"...never judge a book by its cover! It's better than some higher end brands

For real tho! I was happily surprised - even shocked my hubby while I gasped after swatching it

I just picked up the Loreal True Match Lumi Powder Glow Illuminator in Golden and it actually really pretty... See the trick to shopping for makeup at CVS is to join the Beauty Club where u will receive $5 extra bucks for every $50 spent on top of weekly sales which often include extra bucks as well... I paid $5.59 for this highlighter vs its original cost of $12.99 (which many here including myself frowned upon) and got $5 in extra bucks as well for buying a lip crayon as well... They also give u coupons based on ur purchase history and since I always buy beauty items I had a coupons for $4 off $20 of beauty, $3 off $10 of Loreal , $5 off $15 beauty and 30% off all regular priced items so I paid about $10 for the highlighter and a Le Matte lip crayon and received $5 extra bucks. U have to know how to work CVS lol

LOL @#imnosey!!! I really need to know what causes this kind of addiction? Not everyone loves makeup, but we do! Why can't I live without this stuff? Why does a good highlighter or a bomb @$$ lipstick make our hearts skip a beat? Lol

@Twinkle_Twinkle you are an absolute STAR!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you going to all that trouble for me!
@boschicka Thank you so much for offering to help!
I got Champagne Pop, but from certain angles, it looks ashy on my (currently) NC44 skin, so I will return it. Based on your swatch Twinkle, I think Opal is a no-go too, because I don't like having to manipulate the colour to make it look good on my skin. I'm way too unskilled for that!
I've narrowed it down to the Becca Topaz and Betty LouManizer. I just don't know how they compare to Laura Geller's Gilded Honey in terms of colour. I have three questions that I hope either of you can help with if you have the time:
1. Is LG's Gilded Honey darker/lighter/more intense than the other two?
2. Of the three (Topaz, Betty and Gilded Honey), which is the most smooth in terms of application?
3. Do any of them have visible shimmer particles? I ask because I don't like obvious glitter in highlighter. I only keep highlighters that when applied lightly can make your daytime face look naturally lustrous and like you get regular facials, but with a heavier application can make your nighttime face look "turnt up".

BECCA really really really needs a colour between Opal and Topaz. Peachy-golden tones like CPop (so cools and warms can wear it) but with a medium gold base instead of a white one (so it will not look ashy on anyone who is darker than NC40).

I agree! Even Opal can get a bit ashy if I don't lay down a lighter concealer base... She's definitely for night! Sometimes I mix Opal and Topaz together for a "brighter" day look. Topaz is very subdued on me alone but mixed she give that pop

Oh my gosh if Becca created one I would be screaming, crying and laughing from joy all at the same time while purchasing it in store

Agreed @Lipsnliner and @pinkcrush
I think that sort of colour could be one of their most popular shades if they did it, because everyone but the very pale could use it. It would pop on deeper-toned WOC (Topaz can be too subtle sometimes) and it would give tan-medium-olive skintones that non-ashy, pearl-like lustre (that Moonstone gives lighter East Asian skin tones and that Topaz gives deeper-toned WOC). Believe me, if they come out with that, they will have to make it permanent, because we will clean them out. lololol
Plus, I really hate having to mix products to get the look I want because it wastes time, money and storage space... ok, and I'm lazy.
