@danielledanielle  awesome hauls! Those brushes look really nice - I would consider them myself, except that I already have more brushes than I need 😅 I have to try experimenting with my ND highlighter more - I am curious to see how it will look if I try using different serums like you did.

These brushes look so beautiful, @danielledanielle! I hope you love them!

OOOOH OOOH OOOOOHHHH great haul @danielledanielle !!! I've been eyeing some brush sets myself but I literally shopped my own stash this morning (I dug through my 100 brushes to see if I had things already before buying) and I'm kinda on the fence if I wanna buy a new brush set or just the brushes I want. I always think brush sets are a better deal but then I end up not using half of it myself...

But your brush set is gorgeous and I would literally use every single one of those (I love them face brushes)

Ultas GWP bags always smell 🫠 I always remove them from my bag if they're just giving me a bag (unless they throw in some samples)

[danielledanielle]

Lol, @jaaayp ... It's actually the Danessa bag that had the smell.  I meant to edit it.  I of course, then went to smell the Ulta bag.  🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

Thanks.  I'm very excited about the set.  I get what you mean about brush sets though.  They are only a deal if you use all (or nearly) all of them.

The brushes look fantastic, what brand is it? @danielledanielle

@danielledanielle  I can see why the ND powder foundation is getting rave reviews!  No chalkiness at all.  Thanks for the swatches!

[danielledanielle]

Thanks everyone

@danielledanielle Gorgeous haul.

That brush set looks really nice @danielledanielle ! How are you liking the foundation and the DM?

[danielledanielle]

I haven't opened the other two DM, since I swatched off the grid, and it's more neutral than expected, I'm probably going to use it as an eyeshadow or mix it with something.  Haven't decided yet.  Lemonade looks very fun and I'll eventually get to it @makeitup305 

The foundation has a nice slip/buttery feel.. Probably due to silicone.  It looks chalky at first, but when I blended it into my hand, it's a perfect match.  I have the same shade (NY11) in the concealer, but it pulls pretty yellow, so it's regulated to under eye use.  The powder doesn't lean as yellow, it's more neutral pink.

I got lucky.  It is annoying that this isn't in store and not here.  When I went to Ulta, I asked for it and someone led me to the Tarte Shape Tape powder foundation.  (The consistency they said was similar..eh, debatable...the ND is smoother IMO.).   Shade match was close, so I entered that shade into foundation to get the ND, which I had been debating between that shade and the one above it.

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle Lemonade is so cool. It would look awesome as a liner, I bet. Nicely done matching on the foundation. Idk what's going on with ND and Sephora and why they're not getting this collection. I wonder if she's slowly gonna pull out of Sephora US like she did in Canada and become an Ulta exclusive, or if it's just a specific Ulta release like Tarte sometimes does. I think my Ulta had testers for it but I can't remember.

[danielledanielle]

It's so hard to tell what's happening! @makeitup305  I recall before the Ulta announcement, ND got the shelf treatment (going from one booth to just a shelf) at the NYC flagship and I thought she was going to be gone.  Now she's back to being a booth there.

[makeitup305]

@danielledanielle ND still has a booth in one of the Sephoras close to me but I think the newest one doesn't have it. I need to pay more attention next time I go.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@danielledanielle @makeitup 

ND and Sephora/Ulta mystify me as well.  My Sephora has only ever had an occasional palette or mini.  Then when it came Ulta i haven't seen anything in store.  I don't believe I've ever seen PMG at my Sephora and I only saw a pinky dink cardboard-like stand at Ulta.  The two main brands that I'm interested in have pretty much zero presence in-store.

[makeitup305]

@greeneyedgirl107 really? I have a couple of Ulta's relatively close and both of them have ND and at least one has a PMG. They've both had remodels in the past year or so, I think. I actually have a better display of PMG in the Ulta than in the Sephora on the other side of the street.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@makeitup305 I feel like I'm living in the stone ages sometimes!

[makeitup305]

@greeneyedgirl107 I have to drive at least 30 minutes to either of them since me town is kind of out of the way. The only place to buy any beauty stuff near me is Walmart or Marshalls.
