Soooo,

I emailed Becca to ask about a highlighter for us super pale gals, as all of their others are too dark for me (they're more like blush toppers) They emailed back and confirmed that they will be releasing PEARL in the Pressed form! Official timeline is spring 2016, but it will be released for the holidays at Sephora.

YAAAAAS!

For me, it's not so much about Moonstone being "too dark" it's that the slight gold tint isn't quite what I want for strobing. If I'm gonna do a gold highlight, I'm doing the Champagne Gold LE. Now, Pearl with my Ecotools fan brush (which I have you to thank for that purchase) will be

Moonstone wasn't too dark, per se, but it was definitely too yellow for me. I always wanted a cooler toned, pale highlight by Becca. I'm so excited now!

That is awesome news. :nods:

That is awesome - I have the poured Pearl and love it, but I want it in pressed form!

Excited for a pressed version of Pearl! Moonstone is ok but I feel if I'm going to wear gold it has to be bolder. I recently got JD Glow cosmetics' Ice Ice Baby and that's a nice pigmented light white highlighter for anyone looking for one.

Hmmm... I've never seen Pearl before. I'll have to check it out!

Has anyone given the new backlight primer a shot? How do you like it? I want to order but I can't decide! My sephora still doesn't have it in. It just says "coming soon!!" On the display.

I bought mine from Ulta.

I think it's okay. Nice if you don't already have luminizing primers, but I have quite a few, so there's nothing amazing or groundbreaking about the Backlight Primer. In my personal opinion, it's pretty similar to using a sheer luminizer on the skin prior to foundation application. I also prefer Cover FX's Illuminating Primer over this.

Does it impact the longevity of your foundation, for good or ill? I have it sitting in my Ulta cart right now, lol.

Thanks! I have a couple illuminating type primers that I should probably use up first then.

It's also up on Sephora, if you would prefer to order from them.

And yep, it did prolong the wear of my foundation.

Thanks, love! A little birdy told me that Ulta Platinum members will get 10x points online on the 23rd, and that's also the day the new Lancome eye palette releases, so I'm planning on placing a sizable order that day, lol.

Thanks for the info! I was going to go in store and buy a few things this weekend since it's 3x points but I guess I'll wait. That's a great deal since I'm saving my points to purchase a fall/winter fragrance.

No problem! I hope my info is accurate!

Just to be safe, I'll buy my necessities while they have the 3x points and save the non essentials I was going to pick up for the 23rd just in case there is a 10x event. Either way, I'm getting extra points. I'll probably ask when I go into the store to see if any of the staff knows about it too.

I heard it from a CS rep when I called to ask about the Lancome palette, so I would HOPE it's solid info, but you never know, lol
