Excellent haul @WinglessOne! That PMG highlighter looks gorgeous💖

Thank you @faeriegirl !

Another stunning haul @WinglessOne ! The DM Colorfix look really cool, have you tried these before? The duochrome second to last looks so beautiful.

Thanks @Mcakes ! I've been using Colorfixes for nearly 2 years. As mentioned in my post, 2 of the shades in this haul are backups. 🙂 I use them to tweak the colors of other cream makeup products, in addition to using them on their own. 

If anyone's considering them: all the Colorfixes (except maybe the glazes; I’ve never tried those) dry down FAST on skin, especially the mattes. Gotta be quick about any blending you plan to do, unless you’ve mixed a Colorfix shade with a mixing medium (Inglot Duraline, Mehron Mixing Liquid, one of MAC's mixing mediums, etc.) or another makeup product.

@WinglessOne A mighty haul, I may say, BUT

R.I.P. Flesh 3 🌹, you were loved.

Question: with the colorfix, have you had any of them dry out?  If not, how did you prevent it? I've been wanting to try them, but when I eeked through the reviews here, I saw that this was a concern.

[WinglessOne]

Thank you @danielledanielle ! I had a moment of silence before adding a new Flesh 3 to my PMG cart. 

About the Colorfixes: I make sure all the caps are screwed on very tightly, and I store the tubes in zip-top bags with all the air squeezed out. I haven’t had a Colorfix dry out in the tube to an unusable extent. My oldest one is Galaxy, a super sparkly cream finish black. It’s nearly 2 years old and I don’t use it often. I do have to squeeze the tube a bit harder to get product out, but not to the point where I’m struggling with it. If it looks/feels too dry when squeezed out, I just mix in a tiny bit of Inglot Duraline or other mixing medium and it’s good to go. 

Buuuut... 

Spoiler

Galaxy’s a cream formula, though. I’ve heard the mattes tend to dry up in the tube nozzle; a quick fix for that is just clearing the clog with a pin. I wouldn’t try putting a mixing medium inside the tube, though I guess it’s possible with a syringe narrow enough to fit in the nozzle… but then you’d have to mix the Colorfix and mixing medium together in the tube, and I don’t know how you’d do that without squeezing product out. I'd probably cut off one end of the tube and transfer its contents to a new container—a little jar—and mix everything well, then put a piece of plastic wrap over the opening before screwing on the cap. That's how I keep my opened Inglot AMC gel liners from drying out: plastic wrap (in addition to the foil they come with) between product and cap. 

Anyway, I’ve had no problems mixing a bit of a Colorfix matte (once squeezed out) with a mixing medium. But then, none of my mattes have dried out as much as some other people’s, I guess.

Here is my Sephora rouge order! Everything came intact, thank goodness! Since working from home, I know when my pkg arrives. The Ups driver dropped it so loud , it almost sounded like an explosion. I had to immediately check everything was ok, phew!

The ones with Hearts are what I bought online to pickup in the store since they were already OOS last weekend. I found a debit gift card so I decided to try the Wishful Honey Balm Niacinamide Moisturizer 1.94 oz/ 55 g for $27.20 its awesome! No sensitivities so far. 

 

 

 

 

Tip: if you get a lamea$$ debit gc & it doesn't work online, use your regular cc. Then at sephora, pu your order and ask them to cancel the order. Re-buy it with the gc!😁
