(HAA): Highlighter Addicts Anonymous

[montREALady]

Since the sale was announced in this thread, I thought I would mention here that Hautelook is starting to ship orders from the theBalm sale. They partially shipped one of my orders (they shipped all but one item which seems a little strange but I'm hoping they just stick in another one of my orders that hasn't shipped yet).  I'm going to see if I can check out some CCOs this weekend. I'll have an excuse to buy some illuminators since they would be discounted, lol. You should get the Ruby Kisses one if you can find it at your local beauty supply store. It ranges from $3.99 to $4.99, I guess depending on how the beauty supply stores decide to price it (I've seen people say they bought it at both of those prices when looking up reviews). I haven't used mine yet but here's a swatch of it that I found online in comparison to MAC's Gold Deposit: I've read that Bronze Glow is slightly more coppery in color than Gold Deposit but it seems like a close enough dupe and you can't really go wrong with the price.  I've had that happen to me to with a Target order! I had a blush in it that I didn't really want anymore, lol.

I stay in a beauty supply store so I'll look for it. Thought I had one of theirs but its a Nicka K bronzer that I have. It's also pretty.

I took out my becca CP out to swatch it and see how it would compare to mac oh darling and its already shattered... Every time i use it i put it back on its box and keep it stored without moving around WTF

Oh no! That sucks! The other Becca Skin Perfectors are also soft, but CP seems more prone to shattering. Are you going to exchange it?

I was thinking about it, but its been a month since i bought it, i have the box but i dont have the receipt, maybe i will take it to the store anyways to see if i can exchange it but if not i will try to fix it

Sephora should be able to locate the purchase in your Beauty Insider account and treat it as an exchange with receipt.

Will they take it back after a month? They'll say it's not their fault, no? Then again the customer is always right...hey, it's worth a try! Good luck!

I find the JCP ones to be less accommodating that the full stores. Maybe it's just my experience.

Wearing it today and it is gorg. I think before I found it to be similar to Blushed Copper or something else I had, so not as unique as I anticipated, but looking at it this morning, it's definitely different. Looking at it in the pan gives one the impression that it's a glitter bomb though, but once applied it isn't. I'll upload the pic in a second...

Thank you for providing pics of you wearing it! It's absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to get it! You look great and I'm glad that you were able to get it to work!

I checked her instagram again today and she said that she still has hundreds of emails to send out in regards to the shipping of the flash orders. Although I think she intended on getting all of this finished by Tuesday, I think the amount of orders is quite overwhelming so it's taking her longer than she intended, which is understandable. She said that if you haven't received your shipping confirmation yet, you can email her and inquire about it. Knowing that she said she that still has a lot of emails to send out makes me feel more at ease about not having gotten a shipment confirmation yet. That's great that she shipped them by a quick shipping method so that the orders will arrive shortly after they ship. I hope you enjoy your items when they arrive on Friday!

I posted about it months ago here...another cheapo. I love beauty supply stores!

You are welcome.

Me too! I've found a quite a few low-key yet awesome products over the years at whatever "Beauty & Wig" spot I've stumbled upon while driving aimlessly. I discovered Nicka K at a random BSS in Memphis, while I was visiting family about 10 years ago and I always check out the lipsticks and bronzers they put out. A few months back, while hanging in a suburb far from my neck of the woods, I grabbed 3 huge shimmery bronzers (to use as what else? Highlighters, lol) from some random brand (Kleancolor or Santee? idk). I need to pull them out to try soon. Beauty supply stores are my jam and my kryptonite! I go to one or to Walgreens clearance section and I'm all like.....

 

[montREALady]

I love it. I also have a Nicka K bronzer/highlighter that's pretty decent. But the WNW are the best bang for the low buck, lol. Think I have the Dark Chocolate Nicka K. They're smooth: http://www.nicka.com/face/bronzer/mineral-sheer-glow-bronzer

Here's my post from March re the Nicka K.
