same.. I added it to my cart and was like "nah I'm gonna be good and wait to see swatches and not impulse buy"
... ugh...

Always buy now, ask questions later! Especially with the Sephora VIB Rouge/VIB only things! Hopefully they'll restock it!

Yes! When they do things like this I (unfortunately) learned to buy it now and return it later on if i don't want/need. I hesitated during that last VIB only launch for the UD palette and missed it. Luckily UD launched it a few weeks later on their own website.

Yep, return it or clearance bin it if I end up not liking it. "NO RAGRETS" - Scott P.

And the ironic thing is, I get so upset missing out on LE makeup because of trying not to make too many impulse purchases that I end up spending more to find dupes (sometimes averaging 2-4 dupes per product for unique shades). Not a good strategy at all in the long run.

So you also have the impression that the first release for VIB/Rouge was all that they had planned? trendmood on instagram seemed to imply that there would be a more wide release!

I look forward to chatting with you more too @Candycoatedclos

I would hope that Sephora will have a general release. That's been the case with prior VIB/R early access releases.

 

[Candycoatedclos]

Thank you! I greatly appreciate that. I need to adopt this motto. Lol. My "Be a prudent buyer, and wait for the swatches and reviews" motto has not been working too well lately. I keep kicking myself each time a makeup item sells out!

Lol! It's kind of sad that things are like that though because everything is so "limited edition"!

Yeah just keep an eye out on the site and our forum! You too! @firedxupp

updated with a shot of a very blended comparison of Heat Wave and the face powder

^ Darn! Now I like the Courreges powder even more. Lol. I'll continue stalking Sephora every day. Thanks for the comparison swatches!

I'm wearing the little ball today, I like it, it's different than what I have already.
It's more of a wet look, almost like a more natural highlight. Like when people are naturally hydrated?
I didn't like it on top of my foundation tho, it kinda moved it. I'll try it on top of a different one tomorrow and see if I like it.

Really disappointed I can't get my hands on the powder, that's so sad :/

I noticed the slip w/ the Iridescent ball highlighter but I set it w/ a comparable powder highlighter.

Remember those are very heavy swatches but you know...I kind of like the peach vibe of the courreges one a little bit more now lol. Maybe because it's reminding me of spring.

The iridescent ball is completely invisible on me. I don't know if I got a dud or what!

I had the same problem despite using my fingers and a brush and ended up returning it.

I think I will return mine too. I never return products, but it would be silly to keep this I think.

Yeah if it's not showing up I'd definitely return it and plan for the next product.
