New Products: Reviews, Discussions and More

A place to share your thoughts and discuss new products.

I find sometimes we get new products that are "hot right now" but if there isn't a dedicated thread (ie: brand thread) there really isn't a space to talk about them... It's just fun to get a discussion going now and then on certain items vs reading the review on the site.

So I bought the new IGK Foamo in Meteor and have some really quick thoughts but will be back with more... I find it's really hard to press down to get the product out and when it did come out it shot out! So it went a bit everywhere. I just wanted to warn others who bought it to be careful. It's also very cold when it comes out of the bottle and while it didn't stain my hands there's pigment all over the sink. Little iridescent flecks. I didn't really see color in my hair but I did it very quickly before getting into the shower so I'll have to come back with that.

So just thought I'd post a bit more after trying it again... I find the Foamo in Meteor doesn't really show up like on some of the pics I've seen although I do see something. It's like iridescent blue/purple pigment in your hair. It's pretty but I guess not what I was expecting. Was able to comb my hair and still have some product in it and it wasn't stiff like old school hair spray either. Washes out nice. For reference I have natural dark brown hair.

I was just thinking - we don't have an e.l.f thread because man, some of their stuff is pretty good. @pixiedust2 got me hooked on their highlighter quad and their lippies & lip scrub are a couple of my essentials. Which brings me to this baby - I'm super tempted to pick this up because right now I wipe off my lipstick with lip balm because any other cleanser usually dries my lips out.

This product claims to "condition" your pout while removing the make up! Has anyone tried this before? For only $2, I don't mind picking this up but stores aren't carrying it yet (& I ain't about to pay for S&H...LOL....that's more than what this product costs).

Speaking of elf, have y'all seen these Ultra Violet gems? Does that lippie give you Fenty vibes?

@ZombieMetroAnt You should start an elf thread. They’re hit or miss but I’d love to see faves from other BT’ers. I LOVE that cherry lip scrub. So cheap and works better than any other high end one I’ve tried. I just saw they have a coconut one now so I need that one next.

And yeah that highlighter quad gives me life. I love the color in the lower left to dust all over my face after I set with LM powder. Gives a nice, subtle glow. I prefer subtle highlight and this does the trick. They have it as a set with a liquid higliter and brush at

U l t a for $4.95!!!!

ok I need all that purple ish. Like now!

@pixiedust2 - maybe we can combine our order and I'll get the lipstick remover pads.

@ZombieMetroAnt Ohhh if you end up getting this I'd like to know how well it works. Sephora used to have a great oil to remover lip products. I'm not sure why they discontinued it.

I do love those ultra violet gems! 😉

I wonder if these are similar to the Bite ones,I loved them but they were discontinued.

@veronika23, thank you for letting us know! Spray nozzle issues are a pet peeve of mine. I have dark hair also, so I have a feeling it wouldn't show up well on me.

Re: New Products: Reviews, Discussions and More

veronika23 — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:26:29 GMT

@curlychiquitayou're welcome 🙂 I forgot to mention below that the second time around the nozzle was easier to use. So maybe it needed to be "broken in". I personally didn't feel like it showed up like some pictures I saw (on dark hair) but I could see iridescent sparkle. So all depends what you expect from the product. I still don't know how I feel about it. 😄

pixiedust2 — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:35:52 GMT

@ZombieMetroAntI'm placing an order no later than tomorrow to get my 20% off so feel free to send me a list of anything you want and I'll include it in my order. You'll have to take me to lunch somewhere swanky to make up for it though 😄

@pixiedust2 - I don't think Ulta has the lip remover yet but I'll take you to dinner anyway. But it HAS to be Red Lobster and I HAVE to wear my new sweater

@ZombieMetroAnt Dude! I'm so down for Red Lobster 😄 Scott and I love that place. Cheesey biscuits for the win!

Re: New Products: Reviews, Discussions and More

ZombieMetroAnt — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 20:51:28 GMT

Cool!!! I'll have to take my EXTRA big bag to steal some cheese biscuits for later @pixiedust2

I picked up the new L'Oreal Galaxy Lumiers shadow and I gotta say - it's just like KVD Alchemist - almost as if it were the missing shade

Here are unsolicited swatches - L'Oreal is the one with the white arrow!

If I see them when I got to hellmart I'll grab some up for sure. I need something like that.

I was at Target this afternoon. I wish I had known about these; I would have looked for them. I'll look next time.

@Titian06 Do you buy cosmetics at Target? I only learned recently that they have a good return policy. I've been wondering if I should impulse buy some beauty from them, or just stick with Ulta.

I have been loving Project 62 from Target. I got new "wood" living room furniture from them and just bought two throw pillows.

@veronika23

I finally ended up trying FOAMO, too

I used it essentially as I would a mousse, on my dry wavy hair, I kinda just scrunched it right up in there without a comb or anything. I haven’t tried with a comb yet. When I brushed my hair out at the end of the day I guess the gel or whatever was holding the colour in dried and I got silvery blue glitter all over my sink area in the bathroom, oops. I don’t mind, you just wipe it with a damp cloth and it’s gone, doesn’t stain. Here’s a picture in natural lighting, mine took to a light blue silvery colour 💎💙💎Light brown hair with blonde highlights

veronika23 — Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:41:24 GMT

Oh nice @Haleyhale! It really shows up in your hair! I was trying to focus more on like having a small section as opposed to scrunching it like you did. Maybe I'll have to try different things. BTW I love the waves in your hair!!!! Although my hair is wavy it doesn't listen and I can't get it to look like that 😄
