If anything is compared to MAC whisper of gilt I immediately ignore it. I have WOG and I feel like the size of the compact is enough to keep me glowing for YEARS! I love WOG but I don't want to need backups or dupes. Gimmie a new highlighter! You know what I missed and want? MAC EDSF in Double Dimension. Why did I skip that thing!!!!! That said I still want to at least swatch the Laura Gellar Gilded Honey.

The word on the curb is that WOG and Opal near dupes for each other, but is this really true?

It is absolutely amazing! I skipped it also and then saw that Erine liked it so i was like ok I will order it whatever. I ended up loving it and using it so much I would love to have back up of it!

I was going through a phase at the time when I thought I had too many highlighters. I must have been crazy!

This is my only EDSF and I've used it 2-3 times but last week I tried it again (thanks to the highlighter challenge) and I looooved it! I was glowing. I hope they bring back some of these! I regret skipping Shape the future.

Side note: When are people going to learn how to take a half-way decent photo of swatches?!?! I'm not saying you need a three point lighting set up but you clearly can't be 2 inches from your arm and using a flash. All we see is a silver blur!! Why are you uploading it to the internet?!?! I cringe every time I see a photo that isn't white balanced, or overly saturated, or hell not even in focus! It really is mental gymnastics. I look at one, can tell that whites are blown out so maybe the product is more pigmented that the photo is letting on, in another I can see that it's too saturated and maybe the product isn't that warm or rich, in another there is a green cast... I know people are doing the best they can...

BUT I saw a swatch yesterday with some bootleg form of an insta filter on it. I mean really?!?!?! #icant

People misuse filters! You only need them if the original picture needs colour correcting.

I'm an amateur and even I take my swatch photos outside in daylight. I figure the people that want to see my swatches, want to see clear swatches.
Sunny By Nature? I'm reaching at this point LOL

I am. Specially since I have a Kiko store in this state. Mwahahahahahahahaaaaa!
Sunny By Nature is brown too.

Maybe it is the pic.


Maybe I should do the highlighter challenge too. It sounds like fun. I definitely have enough for one a day.

Can we discuss the Armani Fluid Sheer please! How have these gone under my radar? I am tempted to add every single one to my Sephora Loves List. Does anyone have experience with them? How do they compare to Becca SPP's?
