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.



Do you own any Becca highlighters and, if so, how do they compare? I've only used Becca so I'm wondering if they are similar.

Yep, I own 4! I personally feel as though Becca's range, although not vast, has a nice variety for different complexions. While the ABH ones are soft and creamy to the touch like Becca, they have a very reflective, metallic finish that may prove problematic on textured skin or deeper skin tones like my own (NC50). I'll have a better idea once I actually apply it to my face, though.

Thanks for posting here! I don't get over to the ABH thread. Do you think these would make good eyeshadow toppers?

We have the same skin tone (NC50) so I'm anxious to hear how you feel about them after you try them. Thanks for the info!

Edit: My order is supposed to be delivered Friday.

@boschicka  I do! I plan on using them for that purpose as well! @msvluvsmac  I think it should be fine if you like to shine bright like a diamond, lol. I'm more of a subtle highlight gal, which is why these are scaring me a bit.
I'm that shine bright like a diamond girl. However I think I can wait this launch out. I may get them eventually but I'm not in a rush.

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 ordered Peach Nectar, Riviera, and So Hollywood. PN jumped in my cart at the last minute.

Yep this is the one! I was able to get it and two of the new Matte Lip Balms at Bed Bath and Beyond. Swatches of all three products when I get a chance. Can you believe I'm still trying to set up my vanity?
That should have been priority number one! Utilities and cable/internet can wait, but makeup cant!

I thought I was going to be all over these when they came out, but I still haven't ordered them so they might be a skip for me completely

Hmm. I like the bottom too but they're not telling me "Get Me! Get Me!"

If I'm talking to your Low-Buy self, I'd tell you that you probably have something similar. If I'm talking to you "Buy-All-The-Things" Self, I'd tell you to get it if you see it at a CCO. It is really beautiful on us brown babies. I have it and love it. Since I'd be speaking to your BATT self, I'd also tell you that you need The Balm's Cindy Lou-manizer. That baby is gorgeous. I've been layering it with Betty Lou and was staring at myself when I got a glance in a mirror at work lol. Hmm. I like the bottom too but they're not telling me "Get Me! Get Me!"
I'm feeling the same way!

Now Shars you know I already have Cindy Lou! And I rock it almost everyday as a brow highlight (yes over the brows, layered over MAC MSNF in Dark to soften it). It maybe sounds a little odd but it looks SO good. Brows poppin'!

ETA: I will have to try layering the two together now.

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.
You guys are killing me. NOthing? Nothing at all? (I will not go to ebay) LOL
How expensive on Ebay? It retailed for about $72, so if it's a little over that, maybe it's not such a bad deal? Cause you would have had to add taxes to that too. Am I helping justify it yet?

oh you've helped me, but not my wallet! LOL *goes to look* I see some for 89.95.

*jumping up and down* I'm so tempted, and the seller sounds like a legit seller. Free s&H to US... what to do.

Lol, that's what happened to me. Like, how did all 4 of you end up in my cart? I'm really excited to see these in person, with all the hype that's been surrounding them.
