First, @Medgal07, you are beautiful! Second, do you have Dior Pop Diamond Skin Shimmer to compare to EL's Tease? I know Tease was LE last year, but I'm just curious if they're similar. Thank you!Ok so here's the swatches of Estée Lauder's Crystal Baby Illuminating powder Gelee:
This pic is not true to color in compact but true to color in how it looks on my face.
Crystal baby on the left, Tease on the right--both true to real life in-compact color
Heavily swatched Tease on the left, Crystal Baby on the Right

amber. If that's what you're referring to I'll swatch them as soon as you confirm it.
Oh I just realized---are you talking about Amber Diamond & Rose Diamond? I can tell you w/o a swatch that Tease is much more pigmented than Rose Diamond.
I would even say that the new gelee, Crystal Baby is a bit closer to Rose Diamond than Tease. HTHs

Wow---these are really very pretty though!!!Sorry it took me so long! I should have snapped a photo while I was comparing colors between Bite/Sephora in-store but my hand was a mess with all those wet swatches. Here are the two Luster Mattes I picked up:
Mulberry, Fig
These never actually set and they're definitely not matte, just like a few others have noted. They're pretty but worth skipping if you're looking for true matte liquid lipsticks.

Hi! Yes, I'm talking about the Rose & Amber Diamond style shimmers. There was another one (actually more!) called Pop Diamond. It seems a little deeper than Rose Diamond.First, @Medgal07, you are beautiful! Second, do you have Dior Pop Diamond Skin Shimmer to compare to EL's Tease? I know Tease was LE last year, but I'm just curious if they're similar. Thank you!
There Boschicka. Thanks for your kind words. Are you referring to the Dior shimmers that came out in the TransAtlantique collection? There are 2--one pink & one
amber. If that's what you're referring to I'll swatch them as soon as you confirm it.

Good to know! I wanted to try that one...I swear I don't understand T's ratings sometimes. Shrug. Not stopping me, haha.

It may very well crease, but I'd be using it as an eyeliner topped with shadow anyways

thanku pretty lady!!! xoxoWow....I had never even seen that one. It looks much darker than Rose Diamond, and apparently it's from 2009. I'll share pics of what I have some time tomorrow
when I have adequate lighting. There's also another one that I think was briefly exclusive to Saks but sold out pretty quickly----Nude Shimmer Powder, Golden
Shimmer, also from theTransat Collection.

So I've always deep cleaned my brushes with Sephora's brush cleaner. Before that I used to use baby shampoo. I switched to the Sephora brand because it claims to disinfect as well. During the recent VIB Rouge event I grabbed the Beauty Blender Solid cleanser. I've heard it cleans your blender better than the Beauty Blender Liquid. It was 15% off and I figured why not. I also use the solid cleaner on my brushes. I seriously can say they are clean after being washed with the solid cleanser. You can feel the difference when you rinse the product out and shape the brushes for drying. I think I'm going to switch to the solid cleanser permanently. My only concern while the BB cleanser says it removes germs it's not expressly antibacterial.
