All Things Sephora

[Alysse011]

Hi everyone! Long time since my last post in this thread. Actually, my last post was a selfie wearing the buriti bronzer and then I ghosted to study for a test for my job. Thank you to everyone who had kind words for that post - y'all are very sweet.

Today I went by the makeup forever boutique in my mall and got samples of the new Water Blend foundation. The girl who helped me showed me the chart MUFE released to find your new shade...and then she showed me the chart she made haha. I think her chart was a little better (so I would recommend trying to see the product in person if possible). She gave me samples of two shades, and I'm bringing them with me this weekend when I go out of town to try. I will let y'all know what I think! She said she is able to sell it starting the 8th, and she also said that a lot of people have been asking about it and getting samples. I hope all Canadians and Americans are having/have a nice holiday!

if it's like other Linen shades from dior foundations i think it will be good for you

Thank you Monsy! I always look forward to your answers because we have similar skin I'll order that one tonight.

I am nc 15 but during summer I am nc20 and then i can wear linen. it's a bit less yellow than mac nc range . I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts, I have never tried that foundation.

Okay, here is a photo of me wearing the new MUFE water blend. The only makeup I have on is water blend and the Cover FX Enhancer drops on Moonlight on my cheekbones and inner corners. I really really like it so far! I've had it on for about 4 hours as of the time of this picture.


Edited to to add that it is literally triple digits today and I have been outside a little bit (not a ton)

Thanks for this Alysse. I see the foundation is up on Guru Makeup Emporium now. I am tempted to buy because it seems they have the same shade listings as their other foundations. I'm Y445 Amber in the others so maybe it'll work.

 

[fur4elise]

good for you if you can. I LOVE these...and recommend to everyone

You need Amaretto and Prosecco. Just saying.

Allie, I almost...gave in on I think Rose Gold and probably still will as I have nothing like it thus far...but my right now is all about the CFX drops! Lord! The Candlelight in my tan shade foundation is LIFE! As soon as I kill the double sample my consultant generously gave me I will buy a bottle! Hey CFX! How about a rose gold enhancer! Come on! You know you want to!!!

OOOOooooh La La! Love it! Oh yes! The MUFE! Please please give a review...pretty please??!

@shontay I think your HD shade is a great choice. I am the same shade in HD as I am in the new water blend. I would recommend using that over the chart MUFE put out to convert your old F&B shade to the new Water Blend...that chart converted me to a color that was way too dark.

@fur4elise I'm wearing it again today and have decided that I'm definitely buying a bottle on the 8th when it is available in the MUFE boutique. The scent of the old F&B was way too much for me. This one has a scent but it isn't as overpowering and doesn't linger like the old one did (for me at least). It has really wonderful staying power on my skin. I also think it looks great in photos. I have normal to dry skin and it is mositurizing enough on my skin. Also, it's so lightweight and comfortable. The finish is satin/glowy on me. It doesn't give a "flawless" finish, but that was never really the point of F&B...also, I feel kind of uncomfortable when my skin looks plastic lol. It looks great on some people but not on me. Here is a photo from today to give another example in different lighting and with a face of makeup on

The pens would be very convenient but I'm feeling the Becca overload. How many different forms of the same shades can one buy? Unless there's a great deal for a set, I don't see me getting any of these products.

Alysse, you are breath-taking here...and making me want that new foundation if my skin would calm down. This year has been hell since weaning my little one and I guess stress.

I agree!

thanks for the info! I'm gonna try and wait for Sephora to get it. I'm like $35 from renewing rouge and I can't find anything to buy right now.

Can anyone tell me about returns to Sephora in Canada?

I bought the Sunday Riley oil in April but didn't start using it until June and it is irritating my skin. Any chance they will let me return it?

Thanks for the help.

 

[DMcG9]

I think after 30 days you can get a store credit.

Hi Ladies,

Has anyone try Caudalie beauty elixir? Is it worthy $49?

 

[laurennnxox]

Placed an order for the new KVD concealer on a whim. I got the lightest skin-tone shade. She also has a pure white one. If I like the formula, I'll probably pick it up as well. It would be easier to highlight than how I currently am, which is a little tedious: born this way concealer and Manic Panic's Dream tone mixed into a blob on concealer on the back of my hand and getting a brush to apply it, then blending with a BB.

Anyway, Sephora is 8% cash back, letting you get 5 instead of 3 free samples, and has new 100pt perks that seemed interesting. So this is what I got:




PS, I got the 100pt perk and free sample of the living proof because, I LOVE it. and always nab it when I can. The foils and point perk sizes are perfect for travel.

Try a sample. I didn't think it was worthy of $49.

I think I'm good! The Persecco Pop blush combos may get me to change my mind but I'm waiting until it hits the stores to be sure.

Oh I'm curious about the KVD concealer and her new palette, Serpentina. Looks so gorgeous! I love LP also, but I first had tried the perfect hair formula and didn't like it. Then later I tried the no frizz and what a difference that made in my hair! I love that stuff, so I stock up anytime they have freebies with that!

I hope the color range is better for KVD new concealer.
