I got my goodies today! It's taking all my self restraint to not gift myself one of the cream shadow stick gift sets haha.
The compact in Apricot Glow is beautiful! At first I was a little taken aback because I have heard that both shades are more along the highlighter side instead of the "matte and glow" way it is marketed, so I was expecting essentially two highlighter shades. However, the outer ring is, for me, not highlighter-y at all. It is a really good match actually for my pale winter skin tone! I tried it today as soon as I opened it (as you do) in my T zone, and it was lovely! Less glowy than meteorites but not necessarily matte, and incredibly finely milled. It's gorgeous to set makeup on me. The inner shade is a beautiful highlighter. I swept it on my cheekbones and love the effect. I will use both shades tomorrow all day and see how they hold up.
I used the Wayne Goss Airbrush and was able to get into each color separately. However, a brush much bigger will definitely cause you to pick up both shades.
I will I'll try to swatch the compact tomorrow. The outer rim color is really close to my skin tone so I'm not sure how it will show.
LOL! Great minds! I meant to post about the sale yesterday and forgot! It goes through Oct 27th! + 4% Ebates!
So this is my dilemma too ...do I get it as powder that matches my skin with a highlighter or do I get it as a blush/highlight shade. So you did both. Did you get them already?
