I got goodies today! 😍 Thank you @TeamBIC, @KatieBT, @firstaidbeauty, @Herbivore, @katesomerville, and NARS for these fabulous gifts, and the wonderful @RGbrown for choosing to share them with me! 

After unwrapping everything tonight, I couldn’t resist playing a bit with the Ignited palette on one eye. I originally wanted to use every shade, no matter how the final look would turn out, just to see how well they’d play with my skin tone and one another. 😂 But I wound up using only 7. Interestingly, my camera picked up almost none of the shimmers until I sat in front of a beauty light. The shimmer is very visible in real life. 

Interior lighting, fairly high res camera.

Same look with beauty lighting: why hello there, pretty sparkles!

Spoiler

The mattes sit and blend well. So do the others when used dry. Even with eyeshadow primer (which I forgot to include in the photo, oops), it took a wet brush to make the metallics really pop on my lid. The shimmers are sheer enough to create a nice sparkly wash over everything, and they’re buildable to an extent. The shimmers performed better with a dry brush.

This month I’ll play more with the palette and try the other goodies. I’m excited to try everything!

Squeeeeee! I'm so happy it arrived! Sparkle sparkle sparkle 😍😍

[WinglessOne]

@RGbrown You are awesome! 🥰 The FAB cream is right on time: I’m trying various daytime moisturizers to replace or alternate with Dr. Jart Water Fuse (I love Water Fuse, but there’s not much product in the ridiculously oversized jar and my jar’s almost empty already). I need something as lightweight as Water Fuse, otherwise I’d just use my nighttime YTTP cream. The FAB Barriair Cream might do the trick! I’ll patch test it for a few days before putting it to the full-face Chicago winter test. Thanks again! 

[RGbrown]

@WinglessOneUnidentified

Ooohhh, perfect timing! I hope the FAB works as a replacement for you!

A drop or two of the Emerald Oil with it may be beneficial as well. I'm finding it to be really lightweight but super moisturizing 😊

[MissPuff]

What, more gratis! Hoooray and congrats @WinglessOne ! Love your shadow work and also your lippie 🙂 And that @RGbrown, what a doll 🙂 

[WinglessOne]

Thanks so much, @MissPuff! The lipstick is the stain left by MAC Beetroot, after hours of wear without reapplication. 😄 It wears/stains down pretty well! 

[mermadelove]

Yay @WinglessOne so glad you got one of these! That’s a fantastic eye look. Can’t wait to see more!
