Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

I need advice guys!

I have the hourglass ambient metallic strobe lighting palette in my cart.. Do i really need it? is it different than becca highlights? I have a few of the becca shimmering skin perfectors.. + mac highlighters, MUFE, ABH.. etc.  

 

Im looking for a soft highlight (lit from within look) that does not emphasize texture... 

 

TIA 🙂

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@kromance  I only have minis of Becca's Rose Gold and Opal and I have to say I never reach for them. In comparison to the Hourglass trio I feel like the Becca highlights emphasize texture way more and don't blend as well. I feel like the Hourglass is a more intense highlight compared to others that I love, but still not too intense. For reference, my previous favorite highlights are Urban Decay Fireball & Aura, and MUFE Pro Light Fusion in 01 Golden Pink. Also, I wear my highlights as a blush topper if that helps at all.

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@suzyo  THANK YOU so much, mama! The swatches really helped me out quite a bit. I think i am going to purchase the palette. I have about 7 or 8 of the Becca shimmering skin perfectors and find that they do emphasize my skin texture quite a bit. I was between the HG and Nars, but i think i will go for the HG palette. Thank you again for the swatches :)!! So helpful!<3

 

RE: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Does anyone know if the AmorePacific CC Cushion comes with a refill pack in the box?

Re: RE: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@casadeeya yes, it contains an additional cushion (a refill) of the same size

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Asking on here hoping to get a second opinion.

 

A friend gifted me an Armani liquid lippie a while back. She said she used it once and didn't like the color on her so she gave it to me instead. I'm just wondering...because I'm paranoid about these things... how would I properly sanitize a liquid lipstick? Is that even possible? I'm guessing there is no way to properly sanitize it since she used the wand and the wand went back in the tube right? But again, I'm not an expert so I need some opinions!

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@gonerogue  sorry for the late reply. There is no proper way to sanitize them... you just can't. The only way to keep lip glosses/liquid lipsticks clean is to use a disposable wand every time you get product. No double dipping 😉

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@veronika23 That's what I FIGURED, but I needed a second opinion. Guess I will have to just toss it 😞 Thank you for your input, V 🙂

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Yeah sorry @gonerogue 😞 I wouldn't chance it.

RE: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

I just ordered UD setting spray. Anyone have any advice or opinion on it?

Re: RE: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

I love the UD setting spray. Just a couple of spritzes on my finished face and it stays all day! I hope you enjoy it!

Re: RE: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

That's probably one the best setting sprays on the market. You made a good choice 🙂 Do you have any questions about how to use it or what's it for?

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Long shot, I hope it's ok to ask here once:

 

Does anyone know the $25 bra In Store code? Their new members on the pink nation app get a free panty + a $25 bra offer, but I can't swipe to get the $25! The associate code for the panty is 3999. Thanks! 

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Has anyone tried the Amika Polished Perfection Straightening Brush? I have extremely curly hair naturally and I am trying to get an idea of whether this would be less work than flat ironing my hair and whether it would provide the same smooth finish as a flat iron. 

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Hi! I was looking at that brush, but it has some bad reviews. What I picked up instead is the yellow conair ceramic tools blowdry brush. I use it on my hair when it's already dry and it gives a salon blowout look. Sorry I couldn't help you about the amika one but hopefully this helps a bit!

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

@kimberlymaeco Thanks! I ended up going for it and I've been pretty happy with the result 🙂

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Bump! 

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

Gah! This thread still isn't showing up on the main feed! Baby steps I guess...

Re: The Question Thread 2.0!!!

I thought that if I would use a color correcting primer that it would take care of my facial redness. During Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Spring Event I purchased It Cosmetics CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder. I only recently started using this and love the coverage.

I was wondering if I would use a blurring primer instead of a color correcting primer that I could achieve more of an airbrushed look. If so could anybody recommend a blurring primer.

it's more of a pore filler but I LOVE porefessional by benefit. another good one imo is hourglass mineral veil. it makes your skin velvet
