Christian Louboutin Beauty -- COMING SOON?

[laurennnxox]

I'm starting to think Just Nothing, because nudes can pull gray on me and look concealer-y because I'm so cool-toned, but if they're a little darker and a little browner they'll still look nice even if they don't pull pink. You may have tipped me to the JN side! I should stop googling swatches and stick with my pick!

It's a pretty shade! There is a photo of me a few pages back wearing JN, if that helps!!

It did help That pic of you in it and one of another girl, both of you have similar skin tones to me and you look like classy sepia-toned old-timey portrait pictures, SO pretty, like I wanted styled in sepia to look on me. Honestly, that's how a nude ended up on my list, I was going to skip it and only get the colors I wear all the time (Coral, pink, berry), but you convinced me! This is why I shouldn't be on specktra!!!

Thank you Meddy!!!!!!!! You made my day.

I had this battle, too! I really liked how both looked in Ernie's swatches. Eventually, Just Nothing won over since I couldn't get both. Mattes typically last longer, and I think I have enough satin nudes to sink a ship.

 

[Medgal07]

Uh-oh. I should be getting it tomorrow or Wednesday.

Fingers crossed that it meets your expectations!

Lol! My makeup collection has quadrupled since specktra. The danger is real!! And thank you! it's definitely a lovely color. I think you'll look wonderful in it!

I think the only post referring to them was asking if one would prefer to spend $90. on a lipstick or on several items instead

Yep, I'm pretty sure in that post she said she wouldn't be getting any? I could be remembering wrong though. I got to smell a matte today and they're too perfumey for my sensitive nose. Sometimes my sensitivities save me big bucks. Unless the satins really are less scented? I think I read that someplace.

Well I returned my CL lipstick and bought three NARS lipsticks instead. Not sure if I want to chance getting another CL lipstick now. The one I had melted awfully easily. I was literally outside in the shade for maybe two hours. The lipstick was in my purse. I could see it getting a tad bit soft but not melted. I've gone outside to events and such with a MAC lipstick in my purse and that didn't happen.

Sephora couldn't have been nicer. I called them on Friday as soon as I discovered the broken lipstick and they immediately processed a reorder and I received the replacement today---unbroken. I'll ship the damaged lippie back to them.

How it should be if that happens! I'm glad they made it easy on you! Which one arrived broken?

 

[pandorablack]

And, fwiw, Sephora didn't give me any problems with the return. I didn't think they would. I was well within the return time period and I barely used the lipstick.

Good. And they definitely shouldn't have!

What nars shades did you return for?

 

[JerseyGirl]

Yay!!!

What did you order JG???

I ordered Rose du Desert and the Leanue Lip Definder...

I'll order a matte when the temps cool off...I have a feeling once they are exposed to a certain temp they are more susceptible to cracking/breaking.

Yazmin, a little Zoulou love. It arrived unbroken. I love it, and find it easily wearable. Excuse the bed-head-----I
was tussling on the floor with my pooch. Zoulou and Me Nude rank high as favorites for me.

You look gorgeous!! Another great color on you. Now can we see Me Nude???

 

[pandorablack]

Good. And they definitely shouldn't have!

What nars shades did you return for?

I bought Barbara, Barberella, and Honolulu Honey.

Aw Thank you! It can at least have beauty weapon status like the switchblade Guerlain Rouge Automatiques and heavyweight Rouge Gs lol

Good to know with the scent. I didn't find the scent of the satin or sheer voiles to be heavy and I didn't find there was a taste to them. I find the scent is heavier in the Chanel RAs. I'm curious to hear what everyone else says

I must be losing my sense of smell as I age because I wore 3 different CL lipsticks this weekend and yet a forth one today & I never even noticed the scent

Or you can take the non-violent path and use it as a pointer while teaching a class.

Thanks Pande. More often than not I'm just too lazy.

Oh, yeah lol

I read someplace the lipliner is suppose to match your natural lip color. Not to compete with the color of the whatever shade of lipstick you are wearing. So a fancy version of Dior clear lip liner that does the same thing.

Thanks ash didn't realise that Also I not even got a clear dior lip liner I been wanting to try one actually . Not sure which lip liner to go for out of the two as the other two are quite dark But thank you
