For those of you who use Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Retinoid Night Oil 1.18 oz/ 35 mL --how do you use it? Do you use it on its own? Do you layer it over or under something else? If so, how long do you wait between layers? I'm trying to find the most effective way to use it--because it's a retinol AND an oil, it's throwing off my understanding of which order to use products...Thank you! 

[BeardieMama]

I use it at night by itself. Just be careful if you have sensitive skin because it made me red and itchy before I got used to it (like all Retinol products) It smells really good though and has a good feel to it

How do you hide things in clickable spoiler. I want to organize my posts by hiding pics in spoiler for better readability but don't know how. 

Spoiler

Testing if this is Spoiler icon and if it works 

[eshoe]

Pics are much easier on a laptop @naturalooks15 ; you just click Spoiler at top and then placing the cursor inside, click on the camera icon. 

On my phone, I am still working on that one. I usually have to click on the camera 1st, then one I have selected ‘Done’ I play around until the cursor shows a blue line to the left of my image, and I click the Spoiler icon. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. This probably doesn’t help in the least bit, but it’s been my experience 🤷🏻‍♀️

[naturalooks15]

Thanks @eshoe  found it

[Kim888]

Has anyone ordered a custom lipstick from finding ferdinand? Seems like a similar concept to the bite lap but it’s online. It lets you pick up to 4 colors to mix and you choose the intensity of each color. I’m definitely intrigued 

[makeitup305]

Has anybody tried the brand RealHer? I saw it pop up on Neiman Marcus but I haven't heard anything about them. 

[Kim888]

@makeitup305 I haven't actually tried it but they've popped up in subscription boxes quite a lot....based on the comments people are not generally happy to see them...I think the overall feeling tends to be they are overpriced for mediocre quality so it bumps up the value of the box but not the quality

[CC3616]

@makeitup305 @Kim888 Exactly that! When I saw the real her name pop up in the feed, my first thought was sub box filler. I didn't keep any of the real her items I received. They were fine but not high quality by any means. The backstory of the company for empowering girls/women is great but the product isn't there. 

[naturalooks15]

Is there a better way to find a product swatch here on BIC? When I search, it brings up the thread and not that particular post (e.g. trying to search swatch for Nars Powermatte in American Woman). I don't want to post a new request knowing that it's a popular product and there must be tons of swatches posted already. 

NARS - Powermatte Lip Pigment

[naturalooks15]

Thanks @snoflakefaerie @cianni I felt Temptalia swatches for lips generally pull more pink/ peach, maybe because of here lip color but my lips are much darker so I rather rely on what I see here on the boards, gives me a better idea. 

@cianni Thanks for the pic. it helps. 

@snoflakefaerie Thanks for the link I was able to find MissPuff's pic on page 108. 

[cianni]

@naturalooks15 that’s true! Her swatches are a little more pink than how a shade looks on me. For reference here’s a pic of me without any lip product on so you can gauge the natural color versus with the NARS. Sorry for the poor quality pic, turns out it’s harder to find a photo where I have no lip color on than I thought!

[GG84]

A Habs fab @cianni 😃😃

[snoflakefaerie]

@naturalooks15 ufortunately the search function is really bad for these boards. You may be able to do it via google? Otherwise in the swatch request thread, you can ask if anyone can repost; others may have used it recently in the 100 day lipstick challenge, too.  I would also check out Temptalia's swatches to give you a feel for it.

[snoflakefaerie]

If you can check the page on the near future, 2 different people show themselves wearing it on page 108 of the lipstick challenge.

ETA the page (sorry my brain isn't working): https://community.sephora.com/t5/Lip-Lovers/100-Days-of-Lipstick-Challenge/m-p/4298829

[cianni]

Hey @naturalooks15! Not sure how helpful this is but here are how Temptalia swatched them, and me wearing it in regular lighting. If it helps, I found the color to be more brown on me than her arm swatches.

[naturalooks15]

If someone created the Sephora BI account in Nov but has B’day in May, can she pick up her B’day gift now (in Dec) or is it not allowed?

[RGbrown]

@naturalooks15Unidentified

Try in-store. They should be able to see that you didn't get one this year, and may be willing to allow it.

[TrysBeautyItems]

@naturalooks15 Technically, it's 2 weeks before and after your day to get the gift. If it was closer but past time, CS may work with you.

Saw your previous question about eyeshadow, yes you can use for brows. I've used the brush that came with the original UD naked. Brush through with a brow/lash comb and set with spray.

[naturalooks15]

Has anyone tried using dark eyeshadow as eyebrow powder? Or is that not advisable/ better to buy those eyebrow duos?

if yes, Any tips/tricks for using it?

[greeneyedgirl107]

@naturalooks15 Yes!  I use Too Faced Sexpresso from the Natural Eyes palette.  I like it more than the ABH brow powders I have.  I don't have any issues with it wearing off.  The only problem I run into is when I use oil blotting sheets - then, it comes off a little.
