(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[Prettypackages]

You're right, and I got them so cheap that I should hold on to them. I just can't grab another highlighter unless it is TRUELY unique. Some weird/random/cool color or finish that I haven't seen before. So I think I'm done for a while although I did just order Looxi highlighters in Divine, Posh and Foxy last night (mainly because Foxy is being discontinued on September first and I didn't want to have no-buy remorse). I might get Lightscapade eventually... or sooner rather than later so I can just be on my no-buy already. Maybe a quick MAC trip is in order so that I can pick up RiRi 2 as well.

My new thing is layering highlighters, especially soft gold with cooler colors to make them more flattering.


ETA: If I have Perfect Topping I don't really need Lightscapade right?

um... I don't think they are alike. lOL

I like your layering strategy. I've been heavily into the monochromatic makeup look and pairing blush and
highlighters of similar hues.

I don't have Perfect Topping but I will tell you, I don't reach for Lightscapade at all----chalk that up to product
overload!!!!

Thats why im not buying a bunch of highlighters, i dont want too many dupes in my collection, but one highlighter i do need is in the color like the chanel camelia de plumes, but that one is like over 100+ dls on ebay and im not paying that... I was thinking tom ford moodlight or cle de peau no11 pastel, or even the anastasia one in starlight, i want it for use it on the cooler months but i cant make up my mind yet

I think you're being really wise. It is easy to get caught up in the hype of any new product. I'm trying to be more circumspect in my purchases too. I do have both Chanel Camélia De Plumes and Tom Ford Moodlightand I think both are unique. TF is actually a duo, targeting different types of light that would potentially reflect your facial high planes. It's definitely time for me to scale back until my beauty room reno is completed next year, but I can't guarantee that I won't purchase a highlighter that's unique to my collection before then.

I'm glad you said it. I don't want to enable someone trying to be good, but I thought the Camelia De Plumes was just a simple silver highlighter and I was so wrong. It's much more complex and beautiful than that!

so glad I can't get it! I'm not tempted at all. Now the TF one? *sigh* I'm going on two back to back trips. I can't buy anything else!!!

I love enabling!!!! How do you think I got all of my goodies------cause someone enabled me!!!!

I don't believe in backups but a part of me wishes I had backed up Chanel Camélia De Plumes. I hate disturbing the design----could have had one to use and the other to just look at. I know that so not practical!!!!

 

[Medgal07]

The TF one, Moodlight makes perfect sense for you Pretty!

Hi Meddy If you had to liken it one of your other highlighters, which one would it be?

good question!

 

[cocomomo80]

Is there even a dupe out there for the Chanel Camélia de Plumes, at all? That highlighter is like a magic trick. A beautiful, well worth every penny, if you can get your hands on it, magic trick.

Anyone else order the Anastasia HLs last night? I temporarily lost my mind and ordered all 4 shades. Really curious about the quality of these. I'm not the biggest fan of her liquid lipsticks, but her eyeshadows always get amazing reviews. Hopefully the HLs are just as nice!

I would have to say another Chanel highlighter, Délice-----it's also white but the formula and performance differs a bit, and so then does the appearance on the skin.
I have nothing else in my stash that even begins to come close.

Oh I can't wait to hear your assessment of these!!!

I'll definitely report back. Since it's coming from Macy's, I'll get back to you in, say, about a month? Lol. I'm actually impressed bc tracking says they should be here on Friday, which is super fast for Macy's.

I ordered PN and Riviera. I'm going to wait to swatch SH in store first before I decide to buy.

Hi highlighter experts! My apologies if this has been asked already, but: I find that MAC Whisper of Gilt is the perfect shade but too glittery for me. Can anyone recommend a highlighter that is smoother than WOG, but similar in color?

Posted in ABH thread but considering the content, I thought it'd be appropriat to repost here.

L-R: Riviera, Peach Nectar, So Hollywood-- they are quite metallic on my skin tone so I'm unsure how to feel just yet.
