So after I took off my face makeup, I tried Terra India. It is not orange on me at all. In fact, it is pretty golden and does not look like Firebrush on my face even though they swatched similarly. It is NOT a bronzer for gals that like it matte. I would even call it an illuminating bronzer. It is hard to overdo pigment-wise, but the shimmer does build.

I personally like it a lot, but I would also love love a matte version, so if anyone thinks it's close to one of their permanent shades, please let me know.

Funny, this pulls a tiiiiiiiiny bit warm / orange on me. But totally wearable. It does take a while to build, at least with my MAC 159 (i think it is? lol). This also could be used as a bronzer topper to add glow to any matte one because it is buildable! :)

I do love it though. My HG glowy bronzer though is the Too Faced Sweet Tea one from a few months back.

Which is hilarious because that one was warm on me! We're so similar but slightly different, lol.

@Bwachte that lipstick looks beautiful on you!

My meteorites were originally supposed to be delivered next Monday (silly Nordstrom), but I just checked tracking and it shows FedEx left them at my door today! I cannot wait to get home and check them out. Hoping they aren't too beat up.

I posted this in the Balls thread....I got mine this morning in great shape. 5 blue balls! There was a bit of powder in the bottom but nothing unusual. I was afraid it was going to be too sparkly for me but it's not once you apply it to the face. Its a beautiful subtle golden shimmy. Its actual quite pretty.

I'm going to go tr on the red ls now :)

I purchased multi-perfecting concealer and I've used it a few times. I think maybe the color I have is a little light for me, but so far it hasn't creased in the under-eye area. I like that it's a squeeze tube and you can regulate the amount that comes out pretty easily. It's opaque without being too difficult to spread around. I dab it on with my finger and then use a soft synthetic brush to smooth out. If I can get the color right I'd be super happy. No creasing or going into my fine lines at all. And every other product I've tried so far does crease on me, no matter which eye cream I use.
