That's what I was telling you over the weekend, I think it's the ridges in it..I don't pick up as much as I'd like.

This is the reason i only have a handfull of highlighters that i want to build my collection with, im a person who gets easly overwelmed when having too much of the same stuff, like i have only cruel gardenia and now i want the cle de peau face enhancing no11 and if i get that one i will get it with its case because its so gorgeous, im waiting for CP and Laura mercier indiscretion to arrive today and im still in the hunt for a modern mercury as i think that one is so unique, and i been wanting a heatwave but they sell for a ridiculous price, btw how does it compares the CP to heatwave?? I have this silly thought that i might return CP and go on the hunt for a heatwave at a "reasonable" price... Dont know what to do

I now have > 100 highlighters and EL Modern Mercury remains my favorite, and I reach for for special occasions or just when I need to feel special

I took out CP and HW to compare them. I'd take pics but it's rather dark and cloudy here ATM. I swatched them anyway and frankly, it's all about the
formula, and in that regard HW kicks CP's fabulous butt. HW is so smooth and silken and that shows in the swatches. In terms of coloring, CP leans
pink/peach. HW is gold. That all said, I think CP is truly lovely and I'm glad I got it---it's pretty special in its own right.

[COLOR=0000FF]   Try a different brush---I agree w/Monty.  You need a dense brush to grab the product.  It's an awesome highlighter!!![/COLOR] [COLOR=0000FF]  Yes![/COLOR]:nods:

yep, im thinking my mac 116 could work since it a little denser and not as soft as my haku 5521, this one is a mix of goat and blue squirrel

I use a hakuhodo G5521, its like a dupe for the mac 165, i dont have any fan brushes(i dont really like them lol) but with the CP i might need one

The MAC fan brush is crap. Laura Mercier has one that's good for very pigmented highlighters in which one could overdo the application. Louise Young has a fan brush
but it's huge and more suitable for applying beauty powders.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't MAC's whisper of gilt and superb supposedly dupes for Estee' lauder's heat wave and modern Mercury ? The formulation may be different but the colors are very close. Now if someone finds a BB copper diamond, let me know !!!

Glad you like it! You didn't check out the dose of color in sunkissed? I tried to score that CP in that Sephora rewards yesterday. It was gone as soon as it went live. I managed to get the NARS set that has albatross and the autographed book.

No I haven't. I don't have anything from DOC actually.

Oh nice! I could have tried for something else because they were there but I didn't want anything but the Becca and didn't want to waste my points.
