Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Hello everyone! My name is char! Iโ€™m so glad I found this thread! I would love some advice/tips/tricks or opinions on foundation please! And i also have some questions. First of all, I live in humid Hawaii since 2019,  Iโ€™m turning 39 next week, I have oily skin, I wear lash extensions because I donโ€™t like mascara and putting them on. my foundation for a long time has been Estรฉe Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Longwear Foundation 4W1 Honey Bronze   I am starting to think it could be the wrong color. My veins on wrist to some people are blue/purple. I just thought it was green blue,( I was lighter skinned in Vegas) I want to try something else, thatโ€™s more mattifying, preferably liquid since I think thatโ€™s best for oilyskin ?!?  And I donโ€™t know whatโ€™s close to that shade, I also want try another shade, lighter.  Can someone recommend some choices or brands? Anyone with similar skin types or problems? What worked? Whatโ€™s new in my age? Thank you for taking the time to read and share your beauty experiences!

 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Hey I actually am a beauty advisor at Sephora and a foundations I would recommend is the IT cosmetics oil free foundation and I would also try on of urban decays setting spray! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Did anybody get the new Dior highlighters? They are pretty amazing. This is Pink Glow. Itโ€™s. Just. Gorgeous. Pure perfect glow, sheen, no glittery stuff. Smooth and buttery too and no settling in any lines. Of course the minute after I opened it my nail gauged it. Lol. Great ๐Ÿ˜ญ. The case is kind of plasticy with Dior quilted lid. I definitely want to see other colors. @blackkitty2014 canโ€™t wait to see yours, you will love them! I think it may have gone to the top of my favorites list.  It does have quite a heavy scent tho itโ€™s a pretty one. I hope these land at Sephora and Nordstrom etc. They are on NM now.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom this is just soooo gorgeous!!! Sorry I've been living under a rock obviously ๐Ÿ˜†.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

๐Ÿ˜‚ @niki172 ,Itโ€™s really a pretty and easy powder.  I bet youโ€™d love it. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom Very pretty!

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Canโ€™t wait to see mine @Sunnysmom . ๐ŸŒน

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I bet the Coral is gorgeous @blackkitty2014 ! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Wow, @Sunnysmom, everything about it--from the presentation to the swatch--looks gorgeous.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Itโ€™s so great @CookieGirl1 ! ๐Ÿคฉ I only have an older one and this one is much better imo. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom I have an older version as well and still love it but you're right--this looks even prettier. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

Well I guess mine is the Nude shade @CookieGirl1 so itโ€™s probably not a real comparison. Iโ€™m sure others have them to do maybe @blackkitty2014 when hers arrives. From what I see the Nude is just more in your face and more of that overlay look if Iโ€™m using the right term. Prob not lol. 
The new one is much more subtle but buttery glow. 
Top is Pink Glow with older Nude under

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom they BOTH are pretty ๐Ÿ˜‰

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

They are @CookieGirl1 , and both have a time and place to use em. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I canโ€™t put my finger on it @CookieGirl1 , but Iโ€™m going to compare the 2 and Iโ€™ll show you when I do. Watch them be exactly the same. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธlol. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

New lips incoming ๐Ÿ˜Š. Finally received my Urban Decay new Vice lips and remaining Bite. I do think the Bite would be great as a second string line of lippies maybe with a more substantive group first like Amuse Bouche. I wish I liked them more I really do. They are ok and I barely taste or smell vanilla but they just donโ€™t have enough ooomph to me as a true lipstick or one that I need. Rats. Nice for a light summer look though I guess. This is Mulberry and Maple (which is cooler than previous Maple that I have.) ( Other swatches on Bite thread ). 

UD feels terrific in both creme and matte. Color holds with no feathering and good stain remaining like original line. Iโ€™m impressed. One silly thing is operator error. The cap kind of bugs me getting it on correctly at first time or in a hurry! Lol Darn angle of it! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ @Guessgal did you get yours? @sprocketta this oneโ€™s for you with all the reds! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅฐ

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom Very nice Bite Beauty shades. 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

They are @tjffc ! Will you try em?! 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom are the Bite lippies really matte? I just can't do matte lippies anymore - my lips threw in the towel ๐Ÿ˜.

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

I know, me either @niki172 . Theyโ€™re sort of a hybrid very soft semi matte/ balm feel if that makes sense. Lol Do you have any of the MAC Powder Kiss lippies? They remind me most of those I think . They donโ€™t go on too intensely or dry but oddly they end up a little drier on me.  Iโ€™ve been layering them with a balm under and over and that helped. They feel comfy ish and not a true matte no. The colors are nice! 

 

Re: THE SWATCH REQUEST THREAD !

@Sunnysmom I understand the MAC analogy so that helps thank you! I may pick up one to see if it works.
