I find the FAB too light for my dry skin too and it is disintegrating! 😞 Thanks for your review @lyravega

@lyravega  Thanks for the great reviews!! I'm definitely going to check out the KS liquid exfoliKate because this sounds great!! The Herbivore Emerald oil may be something that would work for me since it's a lighter oil. I would have to think about the FAB cream since their products haven't ever worked for me.

 Thanks again for the info!!😊

@yankeefaithful You are welcome!

If you do try it, I hope it will work for you, too! Let us know how you like it!

I've been using these products for a week now and I love every single one of them!

I already shared my thoughts on the first time I wore the shadows (some glitter fall out, but still happy overall), and my experience has been similar, with slightly less fall out, when I used my setting spray.

Here are my thoughts on the skincare:

1. Kate Somerville Liquid ExfoliKate

I was a little nervous about this because regular Exfolikate tends to irritate my skin a little, but I have used this every other night with zero irritation. I haven't noticed a super dramatic difference in my skin, but it definitely leaves it smooth and soft.

2. Herbivore Emerald:

OMG this stuff is amazing!  It made such a huge difference on any little dry or red patches on my skin!  I love, love, love it and will probably purchase when it runs out!

3. First Aid Beauty Ultra BarriAIR Cream:

If I had to describe this moisturizer in one word, it would be delightful! The texture of this cream is super fun because it feels really spongy, like mousse, but then when you rub it into your skin, it is actually quite rich and luxurious.  It leaves my skin feeling sooooo soft and moisturized - It is amazing!!!!

Overall, I really love all four of these products!  Thank you again to Sephora, @KatieBT , @TeamBIC and the brands!!!!!

Beautiful photos @Tamara76! Loved reading your thoughts on these goodies! So happy the Herbivore Emerald oil is working out so well for you - I just started using it this week!

[Tamara76]

@itsfi Thank you so much!  ❤️

[KatieBT]

@Tamara76 wow so glad to hear these all worked out for you! It can take a lot of time to see a difference with resurfacing products like theKate Somerville Liquid ExfoliKate® Triple Acid Resurfacing Treatment 4 oz/ 120 mL so keep us in the loop if you notice any visible changers. 

[Tamara76]

Thank you, @KatieBT !  I have been using the Kate Somerville for almost a month now (every other night) and I am starting to notice that my skin looks more smooth!  I definitely plan to continue! ❤️

Update on NARS - Ignited Eyeshadow Palette

Spoiler

[itsfi]

Oh, @GG84, reading your post made me feel better! I thought it was just me having such a hard time with the shimmer shadows in the palette! I’m determined to find a way to make them work without an unreasonable amount of effort! 

[unfungirl]

@GG84 I have to agree with you on the shimmery shadows. I’ve tried them with a wet brush, over a few different bases and applied them with my fingers, and still couldn’t get great pigmentation. They work well as a topper, but the matte shadows have much better pigmentation. I do like the palette now that I’ve figured out what to expect though!

[GG84]

@unfungirl Yeah! I like them as toppers also. I think i'm just used to more of a BOOM she's wearing make up - type look. I like mixing the mattes together. 

[unfungirl]

@GG84 I was expecting them to be more intense too! The mattes play very well together 🙂
