(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[boschicka]

Oh I love hearing that!!! I almost skipped it because I've gotten so many highlighters recently---so glad I didn't!! I was only moved to get one CT lipstick and that was
Hepburn Honey. It's really nice as you know but I'm not a fan of its packaging.

Your girls is lovely YF!!!!!

The lipstick packaging is horrendous. My Hourglass lipsticks cost less and the case is so heavy and pretty. I'm still waiting to hear back from them on replacing Miss Kensington and Hepburn Honey. The NP packaging is pretty, but it feels cheap to me as well. The Dreamy Glow highlighter almost flew out of my hand today and I was fully prepared to go down with it to prevent a disaster, lol. I think that for the price, the packaging should be made of better materials. It is pretty to look at though and I don't regret my purchase at all.

Truth

Just make sure the corner you sit in is the one facing your overflowing stash loool.

UNSEE!! UNSEE!!!

I missed this the first time around Miss Shars

I guess that's why I've been a bit reluctant to go all-in w/this brand. I have quite a few items but not like other
brands that I absolutely love.

Good save w/the near disaster and your DG. I shattered a Dior limited edition highlighter some time ago and
wanted to cry every time I looked at it. Shars recently coached me through fixing it and it's like new---performs like
nothing ever happened to it.

Yeah, I think this brand is still in the tweaking phase, but I think she's too busy promoting it to address the changes that need to be made. I see her everywhere now. A few months ago, I didn't even know who she was. I do appreciate her aesthetic though and that's why I ordered so many things, I just simply loved them. I am always drawn to true artistry and the genius of designing a collection, all while paying homage to an icon in the industry.

Hi Ladies, I just picked up some goodies from the drugstore. Has anyone checked out the New Maybelline highlight powders! They have several. I picked up the mauve color and their new blushes which have a dewy finish. They can be used as highlighters depending on your skintone. Also found the Sonia Kashuk highlighter which is a supposed dupe for the Pat McGrath favorite by Madina. Here are some pics;

Sooooo tell me how you feel about that SK?

 

[PrettyGirlDoc]

Sooooo tell me how you feel about that SK? 

Lol!!! It's quite nice. You just have to be careful not to blend it away. And when you layer a powder over it...,gasp! This and the mauve powder are my favorite so far.

208 isn't on the website though

200 is a dupe for superb, if you don't have it.

Went to a CCO on Thurs and got MAC's MSF in the limited edition shade Stereo Rose. Then got NYX's Illuminator in Chaotic yesterday which is probably similar (I'm a mess). Both are gorg though! :haha:

So, so true. She has done many products well and continues to struggle with others. I don't care for the packaged looks----good concept but not too pragmatic.
One size will never fit all. I'm glad she's unbundled those.

Very nice PGD!!!! Thanks for the pics & swatches.

I've been doing that the last few days with the powder I got. I'm thinking of returning it. I'm just not liking it as much as my meteorites. I'm not noticing a difference in the way I do with the meteorites. I purchased diffused light.

Try Dim Light with CP- we seem to have similar complexions.

Thanks! I will definitely do this!

Lmao Dili, wat did you do?? ! Kiko USA website is now up and most items are 50% off!! :haha:

From my mouth to Kiko's ears

Beautiful! What's the red object? My first instinct was wallet, but it's not quite right.

That's a palette of small lipstick samples. It is super cute and has a magnetic closure---leave it to Dior!!

 

[Medgal07]

Well that's enough for me. Ordering!

Well, I tried to order it. Dior's website will let me enter a different shipping and billing address, but then it keeps changing them to the same address. Packages are stolen from my house, so I have everything delivered to work. Now I have to ask my friend to order it. Annoying.

That's insane-----I always use different shipping & billing addresses because we live in two states and go back & forth. I'm positive I did it for the Dior highlighter.
Do you have a profile set up on the site?

I just ordered NARS Tribulation! I have high hopes. And now my two month (at least) no-buy has officially begun. I look forward to living vicariously through you ladies and growing an epic wishlist. I'm pretty sure my first purchase once the no-buy is up with be Colour Pop highlighters and lip products.

Gorg. I love drugstore stuff! I have the l.e SK bronzing stick from her Spring Collection Arabian Dreams but never tried any of her highlighting ones. Gotta look into that mauve Maybelline powder. Thanks.

Setting up an account solved it! Thanks, @Medgal07!!! You saved lives.
