@Twinkle_Twinkle you are an absolute STAR!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you going to all that trouble for me!

@boschicka Thank you so much for offering to help!

I got Champagne Pop, but from certain angles, it looks ashy on my (currently) NC44 skin, so I will return it. Based on your swatch Twinkle, I think Opal is a no-go too, because I don't like having to manipulate the colour to make it look good on my skin. I'm way too unskilled for that!

I've narrowed it down to the Becca Topaz and Betty LouManizer. I just don't know how they compare to Laura Geller's Gilded Honey in terms of colour. I have three questions that I hope either of you can help with if you have the time:

1. Is LG's Gilded Honey darker/lighter/more intense than the other two?

2. Of the three (Topaz, Betty and Gilded Honey), which is the most smooth in terms of application?

3. Do any of them have visible shimmer particles? I ask because I don't like obvious glitter in highlighter. I only keep highlighters that when applied lightly can make your daytime face look naturally lustrous and like you get regular facials, but with a heavier application can make your nighttime face look "turnt up".

1. I can't speak on LG Gilded Honey because I don't have it
2. Topaz is smoother than a baby's bottom
3. None of the ones you listed that I own have any really visible glitter particles. I love to glow but I don't like the glitter.

I would definitely buy one

Magnolia Makeup's having a 3? day sale, 50% with the code XMAS. I picked up Glo and Soul Glo because they've been sitting on my wishlist for months and at half off, I couldn't justify NOT caving.

I usually hate their formula but this was a total win for me! I LOVE champagne pop, I even wore it to the gym with no other makeup LMAO
I'm glad you're enjoying it VK. I wore mine over sunscreen w/no other makeup.

thanks for asking!!
She's a sweetheart.. yesterday she tried to eat my pillow lmao...
Her hair was too mated so they had to shave her down, which is pretty sad :/
But it will grow back I guess haha....
She seems to eat more now, but she is still too nervous around everyone. Like she will try to play but then run away.. haha
It will take time :)

Shars!!! I did it and it worked. I re-pressed my Dior Rose Diamond highlighter that I dropped and shattered.
I followed your instructions and it was easy peasy. I'm wearing it today after that lengthy hiatus I feel like I have a brand new highlighter.....not that I need to add to my collection of 90++.
Thank you so much!!!

Awwwwww. I'm sure she'll adjust. I can't believe the breeder let her get matted like that. Well VK to the rescue,
and like you said, her hair will grow back.

So, I think I posted this a while ago, but I can't honestly remember. Does anyone here have any experience with the Madina Milano Chic & Shine highlighting stick? It keeps cropping up in various MUA interviews, and I'm so intrigued. Of course, it's impossible to get in the US, which only adds to the mystique. Just wondering if anyone here has it and what your thoughts are on it, or if you've found a solid dupe for it?

Sorry Jess---I've never heard of it.

Thanks, Meddy... The search continues, lol

(Here's a link to one of the articles that mentions it, in case you were curious: Slide 18 )
Thanks for the link. They called it a foundation---or did I look at the wrong thing? If it's a highlighter I have issues w/creams---I'm too lazy to take the time required with
them versus powders, which for me are much easier.

That's it, and they call it a foundation, but it's actually a cream stick highlighter. I generally use powder highlighter, but I've found that liquid or cream is giving me that "strobing" effect that's so popular right now.
