@ms123456  here it is compared to all the contouring compact highlighters - the biggest difference is the highlight in this year’s compact is a lot more metallic in finish, as is the blush. On the face they give a very wet looking glow.

Thank you for the comparison swatches I think I like the one from this year the best.

@Mochapj  Thank you very much! 💖 You are awesome. This is really helpful. 

[dolceoktober]

Yes, it does, thank you so much!

[Mochapj]

@dolceoktober I'll have to grab a photo later comparing it to the blush duos or Soleil cream blush compact but it's the same size as the prior years of Soleil contouring compacts; it just has a slightly different pan layout.

Thanks!

@Mochapj How do you like the palette so far? It looks right down my alley based on your swatch 😍

[Mochapj]

@blackkitty2014 I think it's pretty, but I do think them calling the pinky shade a blush is a bit of a stretch. It reminds me a lot of the 'blush' in the Solar Exposure Eye and Cheek compact. I don't think I'm that dark but I think it's a highlighter more than a blush for me.

But overall the quality feels good; texture is smooth and decently pigmented. I think the pan shapes/sizes are a little odd - it seems to me that the larger pans should've been for blush and bronzer and the highlighter would make more sense as the thin strip.

Thx you @Mochapj

Body Heat

Just ordered mine from the Canada Sephora site last night!

[Javadoo]

Any idea on a release date for the new quads?

I am interested in Body Heat and Suspicion!!

[Mochapj]

@Javadoo  Last time I asked Neimans CS about my preorder, they said May 3

[Javadoo]

any idea if Sephora will be getting them before the sale ends?

[Mochapj]

@Javadoo  No clue. But I don’t know when the sale ends, only when it starts 🤣

[Javadoo]

@Mochapj-I just looked and they are available for pre-order at Bloomies and Saks.

Saks has a ship date of 4/28.

were you able to pre-order at NM?

[Mochapj]

@Javadoo  back when I first saw them pop up on Neimans as a preview at the end of March I was able to preorder them. Then they took them off the website (I guess they realized they were up too early) but I confirmed with CS that my preorder still stands so I’m just waiting for the shipping date at this point 🤷🏽‍♀️

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you for posting detective @Mochapj 💋😍

Another new L&B shade 46 Indiana

I had a chance to test out the new Lavender Extreme today at the counter. I’d say it definitely lives up to the idea of being Lavender to an extreme concentration but not in a bad way.

I find it different than Beau de Jour (not as masculine leaning) and (unfortunately for me) also not the Lavender Palm redux I was hoping for.

It is still a beautiful composition, though. The lavender and violet start it off very soft and feminine. Throughout, a little of the spiciness of cinnamon does drift in and out. The tonka gives it a vanilla-like sweetness which combined with the violet does somewhat remind me of playdoh, as I’ve seen noted in some online comments. Frankly, it feels like a kissing cousin of F Fabulous when you get the tonka.

I get different types of lavender when I inhale; sometimes it is a fine lavender soap kind and other times I find it more of a dry, twiggy potpourri. If you love lavender, I’d suggest giving it a sniff.

I won’t discuss whether it’s ‘worth it’ because I find the amount they’re charging for the 'special' bottles to be a bit absurd at this point.

I do feel like this is to lavender what lost cherry was to cherries - it’s not a bad composition, but it’s more of a harmony than an orchestra. I think it will probably have a similar fan base to LC since it does skew so incredibly girly.

@Mochapj, thank you for your review! I'm really interested in this scent. I know I don't need another purfume, but I also don't own anything similar, I think.
