Omg I recently started raiding the Duane Reade clearance section! Yup, I skip into beauty supply stores. Definite kryptonite.

I got my shipping notice from Looxie today. I'm glad that she kept us all in the loop as she processed her orders. I can't wait to get my order and I'm already plotting on the kickers for Monday. Looks like I should start popping over to the Looxie beauty thread.

I posted about it months ago here...another cheapo. I love beauty supply stores!
Me too! I've found a quite a few low-key yet awesome products over the years at whatever "Beauty & Wig" spot I've stumbled upon while driving aimlessly.  I discovered Nicka K at a random BSS in Memphis, while I was visiting family about 10 years ago and I always check out the lipsticks and bronzers they put out.  A few months back, while hanging in a suburb far from my neck of the woods, I grabbed 3 huge shimmery bronzers (to use as what else? Highlighters, lol) from some random brand (Kleancolor or Santee? idk). I need to pull them out to try soon.  Beauty supply stores are my jam and my kryptonite! I go to one or to Walgreens clearance section and I'm all like.....:yaay:  
I only recently started foraying into beauty supply stores to get some specific products that I saw some ladies on youtube use that I wanted to try, but it looks like I need to make them one of my go to makeup spots. Lots of nice hidden treasures can be found there at super cheap prices from what i've experienced so far so I'll definitely be shopping these stores more often.
Here's my post from March re the Nicka K.
Thanks for reposting the pic. This looks beautiful! I'll have to see if my local beauty supply stores carry this the next time I go. :)

I'm glad that you got your Gilded Honey! I just got mine yesterday. It looks like a few online retailers have recently restocked them so I'm sure the stores will be getting them in soon too. Please let us know how you like it. I plan on using mine next week.

I got my shipping notice from Looxi around 3:00 this morning. She did a great job in keeping everyone updated on the progress of our orders. She was very accommodating when I made a mistake with my order so I made sure to thank her for her great customer service because technically, her website states that all orders are final. I haven't received my order yet to determine how I like her products but her customer service alone makes me want to shop on her website again. Plus the kickers look gorgeous so I definitely want some!

I'm already planning for another order and I don't have my original order yet. Eye shadows and then some kickers.

I'm doing the same as I wait for my palette to come in the mail (it's out for delivery today too!), lol. Right now, I'm trying to figure out if it's more cost effective to order another palette of highlighters (the colors that I didn't get) and purchase the matching kickers or if it would be best to just order the kicker and highlighter sets for those colors. I also want to order the kickers for the highlighters that are supposed to be coming in the mail today and I also want to order an eyeshadow palette. Fortunately, I've decided to wait until the next flash sale to make these purchases so I have some time to decide what I'm going to do, lol.

I know most of you probably think the pans are too small, but I'm loving the Becca Afterglow palette! I don't use that much highlighter, so it's perfect for me!

I also tracked down Champagne Gold, which makes me so happy.

Can I just say that looxi beauty Posh is GORGEOUS. I thought it would just be a typically white gold highlighter but I barely swiped my brush across it and ran it across my cheeks and I was glowing super ultra shiny amazingness no chunky glitter just pure glow seriously check it out. I think I found a new hg highlighter.

Thank you so much for sharing a pic of you wearing Posh! I just emailed Jessica yesterday to ask her what highlight shade in a list of shades I inquired about would work on my skintone and she recommended Posh! Seeing it on you and the fact that you said that pics don't do it justice makes me want it even more now!

It's seriously beautiful it's the only one I got full size in a compact (the other 6 shades I got in a palette) and I'm so glad I did because I know I'll be reaching for it a lot it blows my becca highlighters out of the water intensity-wise.

Wow, if that's the case, I'm definitely going to have to order it! I think I'm going to order the kicker set for both the highlight and the kicker! Are you going to buy the kicker as well or is the highlighter intense enough for you by itself?

The highlighter itself is very intense but I'm definitely interested in the kickers! I want to pick up a few in a week or two when I have some $$ to spend, I will definitely grab posh because you could probably see your highlight from space with the kicker lol I went to Disneyland and a clothing sample sale for one of my favorite brands a month ago and spent a lot of money so I have kind of banned myself from buying anything for a few weeks but it's hard lol. I think I want the Luna and voodoo kickers too just because I love unique makeup and green and blue highlights definitely stand out.

In addition to the Posh kicker and highlight set, I want to get a kicker for all of the shades I currently have, but I'm going wait until I wear them all to determine if I should get the corresponding kickers. I'm also planning on waiting for the Black Friday flash sale that she hinted at to purchase all of this, but that is based on whether or not I have enough patience to wait, lol. I really want to buy Luna and Voodoo too because I don't have any highlighters in really unique colors. I can just imagine how amazing those colors will look with the kicker and highlight combo! I bet they'll look intergalactic, lol.
