that's good to know about the ingredients, what stood out to you?  I am looking forward to your review. 

Quite a few of their products contain hyaluronic acid which is a molecule that holds 1000 times it's weight in water so it is super moisturizing without being comedogenic. Their brightening concentrate has a tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinaise is the chemical that turns on the melonocytes which produce melonosomes...melanin pigment containing granules. So basically it prevents and helps pigmentation.

Hey just wondering, how can I tell how much more I need to spend to be a VIBR still? I have VIBR status until December 31ist but I want to see how far away I am from renewing or from VIB

On the desktop site it is under Beauty Insider, My Points & Status.

I love the science behind the products! What degree are you going for?

I just got that shimmer brick at a CCO a couple weeks ago. Do you want me to swatch for you?

That's okay love. I've seen swatches of it before. It's already on my shimmer brick buy list lol.

Edit: Okay the director-in-charge went beyond the other useless girl and got more stock in the back so they opened a tester. This is a bit red but may work. I got a sample. She said brushes never go on sale here unless they're discontinuing but even then they send them back to Sephora.com...so I guess only SiJCP's...

What color do you use in MAC foundation?

 

[montREALady]

You look nice. I can never pull these types of pinks off.

Thanks a lot! I'm so drawn to them

What color do you use in MAC foundation?

NW45 for years but recently have been told that should have never been, I have no red undertones

So I've heard NC50. I can't.

I'm NC50 and I got Cocoa Medium which isn't the deepest shade, there's one deeper. Which one did you get?

 

[montREALady]

Yeah so I swatched the ABH palette and I must have it, I think it's nicer than Amrezy, Tamanna, Maya Mia and the Artist one!

Is Laura Mercier Indiscretion similar to Champagne Pop? I'm trying to figure out if I need it. I just saw a YouTube blogger raving about it.

In their compacts side/side they appear close in color but it's all about the formula. CP is more pigmented and is as smooth as butter. There are loads of swatches
in the swatch gallery of the highlighter thread, but I'll give you my motto & pat answer----when you can't decide between one or the other------just GET BOTH.

Got that one, but WTF, that was the deepest shade at Sephora Time Sq! There wasn't another slot after it. That coconut primer feels amazeballs and the the foundation so smooth and light on my hand. It reminds me of how the BareMinerals one felt. I was so hurt to hear that it's crap.

Yeah, I love Indiscretion, but the ridges annoy me. I feel like you don't get the full experience

I gotta check that set out. Thanks for the heads up. I just saw the MJ set in person. It's cute but I don't think it's 28 bucks worth of cute. I got the YSL touché éclat pen. Decided I needed it back in my life when I realized my old shade, 4, is now 6.5. I thought they had taken it out completely. The hourglass display pulled me in and even though I said before I wouldn't get a powder it's back on my list. I might need the radiant shade soon.

Thats's the golden beige one---the only one that I have & love.

 

[Medgal07]

Radiant would be pretty on you

I agree Monsy!!!

 

[Medgal07]

I saw!!!
I was looking at the Bobbi Brown set, too, but I don't think I want everything in it badly enough to cash in the points. The perk description doesn't include reference to a shimmer brick but the photo of the gift shows a shimmer brick. So weird.

Yeah---that's to reel us in!!!!

That reminds me, it's probably time to turn all of my lip tars. Shars, I'm going to look online and see if I can better pics of the Tory Burch purse before I make up my mind.

 

[Medgal07]

No liner and a rush job since the kids were waiting for me

OCC Matte Lip Tar in the color Mannequin
Totally missed that top part of my lip there, lmaooo

And I used a few dabs.

Also, whoever gets these, mine smells old. Probably why they're on clearance and leaving Sephora, stock wasn't moving?

I wish I could pull that off Monte!!! What's on your eyes??? Smells old?

So that explains the big sale

Did someone say they're revamping the packaging, adding an applicator???

 

[montREALady]

Sorry, but no Pande.

You're correct Monte---lots of pics & swatches in the swatch gallery of the HAA thread.

A teal liquid liner from Avon on the top lash line, bottom is that same liner from the inner corner to middle then UD 24/7 pencil liner in LSD at the edges. Brow highlight (aqua) and brow bone (Caramel) from the ABH Maya Mia palette:

I have no idea re OCC and yup that smell when your lipstick needs to be thrown out. I suppose I should return it?
