@Ispend2much6, I'm with you on pairing a gloss (or balm) with a liquid lipstick! I've added Nearly Mauve to my list with a note that it's one that you like and that looks fab on you. I find it super helpful that we generally like the same shades. ♥️ It makes for a very healthy lippie collection, but it also means I'm less likely to pick up a color that won't work for me. 😃

@itsfi   "Health" is important, right?  🙂

I've been loving the Rare Beauty Glossy Lip Balm @Ispend2much6 !  Such a fun haul!

[Ispend2much6]

@missjeanie   Which shade did you get?

[missjeanie]

@Ispend2much6  I've got mauve.  I love it.  The texture is great to me.  I'm likely to grab another and wouldn't be mad at seeing more shades come out.  How have you liked it?

[Ispend2much6]

@missjeanie   I like it alot!  I like how light it feels on my lips.

@Ispend2much6 ahhhhmazing hauls!!

[Ispend2much6]

@lmaster   I was soo excited to get the BC pop up buys- I was afraid I was too late, but it worked out.

Great hauls, @Ispend2much6!! Those lippies all look lovely!! How does the SC foundation wear/feel/apply? Enjoy your goodies!!

[Ispend2much6]

@haleyvvvv  The SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Glowing Skin Foundation #9  is pretty!  To me it seems more like a tinted moisturizer.  It has a little bit of glow in it.  It applies well.  I honestly never pay attention to how foundations last, unless at the end of the day there is none of it coming off when I wash my face, then I notice. Sorry!   I 'm shade 9.  The shades are a little adaptable because the coverage is buildable; I can actually wear 2 or 3 and look okay

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @Ispend2much6!! How does it compare to the SEPHORA COLLECTION Best Skin Ever Liquid Foundation? (I think that's the one in this haul?)

[Ispend2much6]

@haleyvvvv   The one in this haul has more coverage, will probably last longer, and not as much glow.  I'll pull them both out and swatch them later for you. 🙂

Thank you, @Ispend2much6!!

@haleyvvvv  I have the goods. 🙂  I'm glad you asked me about these, because I discovered my Sephora Clean foundation had oxidized in the tube! I think it's about a year old.  I guess that's one that should be used up quickly.

Just for reference, my hands are very, very dry.

These swatches are the Sephora Best Skin Ever foundation.  I used 1/2 pump, which is a lot for a hand, but I wanted to show you what can happen if you add extra layers of it.

I really like this one, but anyone with dry skin should use a moisturizer and possibly a base product underneath it.  It has a kind of powdery finish that you can see close-up if you apply it kind of thickly. Shade 11.5 P

Clean Glowing Skin Shade 9.  This one is a little thicker, but has moisturizers in it, so there is no powdery finish.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, @Ispend2much6, this is SO helpful. I've been eying the SC clean foundation, and I'm so glad I didn't buy a tube to add to my collection, because I have too many foundations right now, and never would have gotten to it while it was unoxidized. And for the other Best Skin one, so good to know, I have dry skin, so I'll be staying away. Thank you!!!!

[Ispend2much6]

@haleyvvvv   Glad to help.  Just so you know, I did wear the Best Skin foundation today, over The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum  and Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter Unscented, and it did very well- looks great!  I have very, very dry skin myself.

[haleyvvvv]

Oooh, that's good to know. Thank SO SO SO much for all of this info, you are so sweet, @Ispend2much6!!

Is the rare beauty as pigmented as one might expect? Asking because I purchased one of the lip colors; and, the color was kind of more subtle than I thought it read online. 

[Ispend2much6]

@loveyall  I've only tried a few of the Rare Beauty products.  The liquid blush is very pigmented.  The cream blush I swatched here is pretty sheer.  I'm not sure if it's buildable, but I like it that way.  The lip gloss has a little bit of pigment, but is also sheer.

@Ispend2much6 ,

Thanks for your photos and your thoughts on all these items!  Very interesting!  😊

[Ispend2much6]

@tsavorite   You're welcome.  I loved everything in this haul, except I "like" the ND items.  The Sephora items made in France seem to be of high quality.
