New truffle face trace contour stick for Atelier 7 skin and higher.

I might try it for a warmer contour look.

There is also a new blush shade: Bichette, a red berry. It looks beautiful. I will definitely get it!

So, there’s now another highlight stick as well as a re-release of the limited holiday one. And WA is supposed to be available for purchase from Sephora. Hope they have displays because color matching her foundation has been difficult for many!

Yep, WA recently launched at Sephora.

I believe it may be online only.

Last year (I think?) it also went into Credo Beauty (think Sephora or Ulta but for "clean beauty" brands; US only), though I'm not sure if it's in their physical stores.

It’s in the Credo in my city as of late last year

Just this out on Sephora. All of the products look nice but way too expensive. I don't mind paying for luxury brands if it something unique or the quality is exceptional but $88 for 3 basic eyeshadow shades - that is a hard pass for me.

I have the Les Jours and I really enjoy it. I agree that it is very expensive, but I appreciate the product and use it a couple of times per week. I hit pan on the Tobacco shade. I plan on repurchasing it when I finish it. My only complaint is that Gucci should sell singles.

Mac-Guy Did you see she's releasing a nude lip palette?

Wow, this looks amazing. I haven't bought any lip products in ages due to the mask situation.

Well hopefully as more people get vaccinated masks will soon be a thing of the past, at least in some settings.

Wow, the picture of the new nude lip palette disappeared from IG. I'm confused as Tavia said something about early access and then (last Wednesday) access for all on net-a-porter. I'm intrigued now to get it!

Yes, seems to be a mystery. Maybe there are shipping-to-warehouse issues like Lisa Eldridge has had?

I got the Nude lip compact and I really enjoy it. It is sheer and foolproof. It wears very well on more mature lips. It's more satin/matte, but not drying at all. Very comfortable. But it is not pigmented, which I really like, but it might be too little pigment for others.

Now I'm hoping for more eye pods!

 

[Mac-Guy]

Yes, seems to be a mystery.

I think you've asked about the scent of the compact. Or maybe I'm hallucinating.

Anyways, the compact has no detectable smell or taste. I truly love it. I remember when everybody was on the hunt for the perfect nude lip with the gazillion of MAC releases. And no one was a good match, as they were too white based and unnatural.

Westman is very different. There is no white base, which allows the lip compact to enhance your natural color. I even wear the darker shade now, but only due to the fact, that it looks absolutely natural.

I think a complaint that people might have is the fact that there is not too much variety between each shade. For me, it is perfect. It means I can and I will finish all of the colors of the compact and I will repurchase it, especially when there is a refill option.

It is a very pricey compact, but so much cheaper than all of my MAC lipsticks that I only used a couple of times.

I am hoping for more eye pods, especially something golden/orange/taupe to complement blue eyes.

I tried Garconne today as I received it as a sample. Wow, I really like it. The swatches looked much more intense, but on my lips it's really a my lips but better, especially it gives my lips volume. It is definitely on my must-buy list for my next Westman Atelier order.

Garconne swatches look so nice! How is the texture? Is it sticky? Any taste? Sorry for all the questions... I want to order but I'm not sure...

There is a citrus smell, but no taste. It really feels like a lip balm. There is a light stickiness that last a minute and then it is pure comfort on my lips. There is not a lot of color pay off, but that's what I enjoy about it. Lips feel nourished and I reapply every 2 - 3 hours. It lasts longer over the lip suede. I never liked how lip glosses felt on the lips, but this one is really a more a balm and not comparable to traditional lip glosses.
