(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[malenacorl]

Hello everyone, I'm new here
I love highlighters and I've just recently bought Becca Champagne Pop. I also found limited edition Armani highlighter, I'm gonna buy it and I'm over the moon
Is it true Becca Opal is similiar to Mac Whisper of Gilt? I own Whisper and I'm gonna sell it, because it doesn't work with my skintone AT ALL. I've been thinking about Opal but I don't know if it's worth the hype?
Have a nice day

Me too! I don't do eBay or anything like that for limited edition makeup. If I missed it, it just wasn't meant to be. It's the principle for me...more than retail is too much :lol:

:agree:

FYI there is a STAR15 code for Gerard Cosmetics for $15 Star Powders. I just ordered all three. What is wrong with me!!!!  No more highlighters for me until the Extra Dimension Powders in the MAC Holiday collection or a Becca LE release (other than Pearl, I don't need that) whichever comes first and then I seriously don't need to buy another highlighter for the rest of my life but I'm a sucker for Becca SSP's and Bobbi Brown Shimmerbricks and lately these new indie brands with unique shades. I want to try some Colour Pop shades but I'm turned off by the whole spongey texture/apply with fingers thing. If ever I find an iridescent orange, iridescent purple or plum highlighter I am all over it though. 

There is an iridescent orange highlighter and an iridescent Violet! Lizi Beauty Valley Girl & Ever After! Or you can use Urban Decay eyeshadow in Rust, Fireball, Tonic, or asphysixia, envy it dive bar? The Looxi are gorgeous.

I have an eye shadow from The Body Shop (they make these sheer, color shifting eyeshadows) that is sheer iridescent orange which is the closest thing I've been able to find to what I'm looking for but it's easy to overdo it with an eyeshadow. I hope I really like Valley Girl and Ever After. If I could find a compact version of something like Supernova from Artist Couture I would snatch it up but I really hate loose powders.

Have you tried NARS Taj Mahal blush? It's very shimmery/orange/gold.. Might it work? There are many Asian ones which would work well also! Pleasexlet me know so I can respond with some for you to look into! They're not that expensive at all!

or.. NARS Luminizer in Hot Sand!

Hot sand is not orange at all. It is very light peach

It may be that on your skin color and tone, but it is very orange on my skin as well as is the Becca Champagne Pop. It's an orange with yellow/gold sheen on me!

Hi! That would be great but I didn't know there was one! I'm new, can you please share your wisdom about how I find the photos for just this thread? If appreciate it! Thank you.

I'm sorry that autocorrect made Looxi Beauty into Lizy. I don't know your coloring so I'm not sure how things will look on you but UD Tonic eyeshadow is exactly like Supernova. Ever After is peach with just barely a shift and light lilac shimmers, not at all like Supernova. The eyeshadows are safe to put on face And you can always mix the loose powder highlighter with a clear base or lotion and store it safely to use that way, or press it! There are many warm apricot, peach, coral, bronze, coppery highlighters... What is orange or plum to one might be so completely different for another. You could also find MAC's pigments pressed and use Melon for the orange shift, and Kitchmas or Pink Pearl for a lavender/pink shift! Étude has marmalade baked blushes and highlighters in many shades. One is orange and it's beautiful. How light or dark do you want it? Like closet to invisible or white with shift? Or pure orange and plum with shift? This info will help!

I'm referring to something that has a translucent base with only orange iridescence/shift, no opaque orange color (like Taj Mahal for instance) and a plum shade shimmer shade, which has been illusive. I own UD Tonic so I will give that a whirl. Thanks for the suggestions!

If you scroll up there is a bar on the right side that says "Recent Images In This Thread". And Welcome to Specktra and HAA! I'm referring to something that has a translucent base with only orange iridescence/shift, no opaque orange color (like Taj Mahal for instance) and a plum shade shimmer shade, which has been illusive. I own UD Tonic so I will give that a whirl. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm guessing I must not be mobile and instead use the desktop version in order to see the place at top right with recent pictures and this thread! But I thank you, now I know how! You're nice to help me out! Are you referring to The Body Shop Be Mine Clementine Eyeshadow? And you want a highlighter like that? That's the only irange I saw but it doesn't have a translucent base so I'd like to ask exactly what you are referencing so that I can be more helpful! Thank you very much! We will find you a highlighter! Oh, you're welcome btw! Tonic is very close! Are you very pale, fair, light, light/med, med, med/deep, deep, see/dark, darkest? This helps me because I can visualize how the product will lay and what colors will pop and which will hide. Valley Girl is not translucent by any means. I'm sorry to tell you that. Again, if I know more of your color, I can do a re-creation on my hand after making it your tone/color and come back with more actual possibilities for you. Are creams okay? #HighlighterLove

I don't know for sure but I'll post it for you and it can be deleted by them if I've done wrong, sorry, but here is the link to the blog with swatches and an answer! http://curious-and-confused-me.blogspot.com/2015/07/sivanna-shimmer-highlighter-review.html?m=1 I hope this is ok to do as I'm not sure how to quote it and post its photos and it's really so very spot on! Please let me k ow you got this.. I used an @ and your name. I'm hoping that's right. If linking to a blog to help is wrong, I'm very sorry Spektra and I ask please for advice on what I should have done and how. Thank you.

Glad to have another addict join the group!

I don't have Whisper of Girl (WOG), but I've heard that it is different from Opal. Opal being a bit more pink and less gold.
Champagne Pop is lighter than both of them. Hope that helps!

She is correct about the differences! If you are a Woman of Color, I'd highly recommend Becca Rose Gold & The LE Bronze out now, as Opal is nice but will either blend in too much or work as a lovely sheen! There's a photo gallery here of swatches on many skin colors and tones, if you're in desktop mode it's on the top right! Maybe that will help? Apparently if you scroll up, it's at the top right where you'll see "Recent Images in this thread" and Welcome to Spektra and HAA! I'm quoting @Twinkle_Twinkle Welcome! I'm new too! Overwhelming, right?

I bought all of the GC Star Powders. Opted to use the GCSAVE coupon code which mean paying $.60 more for each powder after the discount, but it meant 35% off the Cinco de lip gloss and 1 lipstick bundle that I wanted.
