Since the brand is coming to Sephora. I thought I'd start a thread just for the brand for news and info.

@michelleshops 

Thank you so much Michelle - can't wait for you to receive your foundation and hear your thoughts! I hope you love it 😘

@Cyncynn Keep posting your influenster reviews here.  I'm interested!  I get them too, sometimes.  I don't think it matters because you're under no obligation to write a nice review.  It's not like you're going to get paid more or get more gratis if your review is flattering.  

[Cyncynn]

@itscarin 

Thank you so much!

I agree and I'd never write a good review for something I didn't love - in fact I feel that I am harsher at products I receive as a gift. I dislike when people (influensters) immediately leave a positive review without trying the product for a least a couple of days, so I do understand the complain about some of those reviews.

Thank you so much for the detailed review @Cyncynn. It's beautiful on you! 

[Cyncynn]

@PrettyPaint Thank you so much 🙂

[PinkEvergreen]

@Cyncynn  Thanks for your thoughts on this, and all the comparison swatches! 😊

And, yes, I’m not a fan of Influenster posts, but I feel differently about it when that post comes from one of our “inner circle” members lol...  I suspect some others feel likewise 👍

[Cyncynn]

@PinkEvergreen 

All I read was inner circle and that made me so happy ❤️

I would add a smug looking gif if I knew how  lol

Thank you!

[PinkEvergreen]

@Cyncynn  You betcha 😉

@Cyncynn how do you feel this foundation would do with dry skin? Seeing that people are posting that there is alcohol in the formula it gives me pause as I do have pretty dry skin. 

P.S. - you look lovely in your photos BTW :).

[Cyncynn]

@niki172 

I have combination to dry skin and I use tretinoin every other night and more often than not have a few dry flakes around (mostly under eyes and around nose and smile lines). I do not feel like it dried my skin at all, nor did it gather around said dry flakes. I dislike matte foundations and at no point I thought this looked matte (though I do not use matte/drying products to begin with).

On one of the e-mails I received from PMG explaining the foundation (I'll see if I can attach it here) it gave you tips on how to prep your skin. The tips that applied to my skin were basically what I already do to my skin on a regular basis, so I'd say that as along as you are treating your dry skin with a good routine and a non drying primer you should be fine!

My husband is a chemical engineer and works in the personal care industry, I also asked him to take a look at the ingredient list and he said he didn't think it was a drying formula. Alcohol (which can indeed be drying depending on the formula) is not the carrier and it is followed by glycerin which is a humectant.

I hope this is helpful!

Hubbycyncynn - you crack us up girl! 😄

[itscarin]

@Cyncynn Can your husband start doing reviews for us?  :D:D:D

[Cyncynn]

@itscarin 

LOL whenever I go to Sephora he browses by looking at ingredient lists and making remarks like "they use some expensive ingredients here" or "this is a really cheap formula and they charge too much". 😄

[itscarin]

@Cyncynn he’s a keeper! Lol

[niki172]

Thanks @Cyncynn that was very helpful and insightful!

[Cyncynn]

Thank you @niki172 ! I am glad ❤️

[makeitup305]

@Cyncynn It looks really natural and skin like and you look gorgeous!

[Cyncynn]

@makeitup305 Thank you so much 🙂
