(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[cocomomo80]

Does celestial look green in the pan and then white swatched? I have a feeling the pictures don't do it justice.

Ok, here is what I have in highlighters

MAC
Shape The Future
Lightscapade
Magnetic appeal
Double Definiton
I had WOG and Glorify but got rid of them. I wouldn't mind trying WOG again.
Freshen UP

Bobbi Brown
Shimmerbrick in beach


WnW
Reserve your Cabana
Ticket to Brazil
Everything Under the Sun
Hold me CLose
Dusk til Dawn
---yes the last few are more bronzers

Nars
Copacabana sample

Benefit
Wats UP

Armani Fluid Sheer
2

Now these I got b/c of you all

Laura Mercier
Indiscretion

Becca
Opal
Champagne Pop
Blushed Copper

Nars
Tribulation

I guess I'm not doing so bad.
Dior Amber Diamonds is the one that got away, I knew it was a hot item, but just didn't highlight that much.

Can anyone tell me if the GC highlighters are too similar to what I have?

GCHL in Lucy: similar to the blend of both shades from Shape the Future, but not exact. Shape the Future is a touch redder, while Lucy leans a bit more to gold. *If you take the light gold shade from Double Definition and mix it with the shades from Shape the Future, you may come closer to achieving Lucy.

GCHL in Marilyn: Marilyn is almost like an old gold color, where it's yellow gold with a smidgen of green. You won't notice the green hint unless your pile it on for swatches. Maybe the gold strip from your Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick may work. Maybe.

GCHL in Audrey: I don't possess this shade, but Audrey seems really similar to Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana, to me. Someone else will have to vouch for that.

Marilyn would be the one to get if you're concerned about having similar products.

I saw this on Sephora a little while ago when it first launched but didn't even pay it any mind. I love the bottom two shades! The reviews on Sephora aren't very promising. A lot of people said the colours powders (mostly the 4 at top - the eyeshadows) were stiff and not very pigmented. Such a shame because the colours are lovely!

Wow! That was quick! Thanks for the update.
The swatches are up, as well.
The only one I like is Divine. I'm not sure what to think about Goddess (I need to see it on someone's cheek). And I'll pass on Celestial.

thank you so much!

Thanks for those specs. I'll either get an empty MAC palette or use my small Z-palette. Now that I think about it, the empty MAC palette is a WAY better deal that Z-palettes…

Oh and I will definitely update when the new Looxi highlighter pictures for up.

As for the ABH highlighters, I'm not excited about them which is a good thing.

Me either!

 

[jaymuse]

:lmao: Which Ulta did you go to???? Ut Oh I live in the ATL too. Me either!

The one on Howell Mill Road! And I just found some NARS stuff at the TJMaxx by Cumberland Mall. I left some Makeup Forever stuff there! Mostly glosses

Oh that's disappointing! I'll try to find it in a store when I go back to London.

I like Riviera here. Maybe I'll get one of these. I had planned to pass. Oh well.

I got my Looxi package today! I was able to snag some blogger samples so I didn't know what I was getting, but Jessica (owner of Looxi) was so generous and let me try TWO highlighters! I'm working on my full blog right now, but I snapped some quick (read: no makeup, looking real crazy) pics for the Specktra crowd! Some of you ladies asked for cheek swatches for some of the Looxi highlighters so I put foundation on just my two cheeks, set it with powder and dusted each highlighter on (one on each cheek). I am MAC NC50, NARS Trinidad, ELDW 6W1, L'oreal C9, MUFE 177/178 if you are trying to color match.

I got some eyeshadows too, maybe we should start a Looxi thread since we talk about it so much lol

Those are the two that have my eye, too! How much is she going to sell 'em for? And are they going to be sold at Sephora?
