Thanks for swatching, I've been looking at those.
Hello! I am super new here. And also new to the high end makeup world. I fell in love with high end makeup stores as soon as I moved to Hawaii from the isolated Alaska! We only just got Ulta where I am from right before we moved. Here, Sephora and MAC are my go to places to go! I am wanting to try a new foundation that has full coverage and has a great finish and doesn't look cakey on the face. Any recommendations? I've heard mixed things about NARS so I am kind of iffy about buying their foundation. I hear great things about Tarte's foundations, but figured this would be the perfect place to ask..
Sephora's house brand has a knack for coming out with really good shades. They also have a knack for discontinuing those same shades. I was disappointed when Midnight Swim eyeshadow was gone (such a gorgeous petrol blue!), and now I learned they discontinued their Tranquil blush. (I mean, Nyx Taupe isn't bad, but Tranquil was my HG shade for being cooler-toned.) I hope they decide to bring it back--maybe reformulated, or a larger-sized pan would be great! At least my Tranquil pan is still in decent condition...
I finally used my Tarte Pro to Go eyeshadow palette. Loved it! Now I'm wondering if I should buy the big eyeshadow palette with the shimmery shades or buy the shimmer shade singles.
I went to Nordies yesterday to return a pair of shoes, and they had the new Hourglass Girl Stylos. I tried a couple on, and they're very comfortable on the lips. The shade range was great too. I think most people will be able to find at least one (or 5) to suit them. I have a couple on my wishlist now.
Also, I don't know if anyone is curious about it, but the Shiseido counter had testers of the new Synchro Skin Glow foundation. I had a sample pot made in shade G2. I put it on this morning, and initial impressions are positive. It reminds me a lot of CdP Radiant Fluid Foundation in the way it applies and the weightless feeling on the skin. It seems to be a nice luminous finish. I have a dry patch on my chin right now and it went over that very well too.
I do like look of the HG Stylos...You tried the new Chanel Rouge Crayons, right? I am also tempted by those. Do you think they compare? I am trying to sway away from "balm like" lippies, because surprisingly that formulation tends to chap my lips...kind of shocking, but true. If you had to choose, which would you prefer? Coz, you know the whole low buy thing ...plus if I can avoid duplicating and chapping my lips...lol
Yep, I tried both. They're both nice (of course lol). However, the Chanel are more "balmy" in my opinion and have a glossy finish initeally; Hourglass are less glossy and feel less balmy. Also the Chanel are quite small. I really like the colors and such, but because of the price point and the amount you get, if you have a similar color that you enjoy then I wouldn't go for the Chanel. but if there's a color you love and you want a glossier look then go for it.
I like the Hourglass release more because they also have a really great formula + it lasted longer on me + you get more + much wider variety of shades + I like the packaging more. I feel like they did a very nice job with this product.
Carmin is a must (hear that [MENTION=51593]fur4elise[/MENTION]??)...I'm not a red person per se, but I love love love this color. My husband even admired it, which is honestly more unusual than not.I just ordered Chanel crayon in Carmin
