Me too @makeitup305 . You’re right too. LE means just that! Creates true fomo! I bought the test tinted foundation last year and it wasn’t quite right but it felt ok. Did you as well? Or @itsfi ? 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I haven't tried the foundation but I wouldn't be opposed to give a shot one of these days.

[Sunnysmom]

I’m guessing they tweaked it to be really good @makeitup305! 

[itsfi]

Now I want to add more beauties to my RdF collection @makeitup305. These are gorgeous!!! 😍 

Continuing to remind myself that I'm on a low(er) buy next year. But, a few of those RdF shadows my make it onto the list of permitted purchases. 😉

[makeitup305]

@itsfi They get me with FOMO because when the say LE they usually mean it. 

[itsfi]

Greeaaat. Now I have FOMO and it’s not about any specific product either. 😂🤣😂 That is good to know about their LE items @makeitup305; I’ll keep that in mind (even if I’m on a lower buy next year, for the first few months at least).

[makeitup305]

@itsfi I'm going to try a low buy, too. It's the end of the year that always gets me 😔

[itsfi]

I hear ya about the end of the year @makeitup305. I know there’s a huuuge rush of sales at the end of the year and I tell myself every year to pace myself and to not go overboard with picking everything up. And every year that plan goes by the wayside. I was much better last year but I still picked up more than I was planning on. 😆 It’s now low / no buy season for me. 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi Same!

[Missnur]

@itsfi 🤗🤗🤗🤗 I’m so excited to try these over the Xmas break!!! My hair needs some TLC. This winter weather is really making some damage in my skin and hair 🥶🥶🥶🥶 

[itsfi]

Keep us posted @Missnur!

For those who are wondering why Missnur & I are having this conversation on this thread, let's just say that the mobile app has a mind of its own. And, we thought autocorrect came up with some interesting arrangements ... 🤣

[makeitup305]

@itsfi I don't respond as fast as I should because I don't like using the app on my phone.

@makeitup305 Wow those are stunning thank you! The only one we have in common is Flora. I was part of the testing group for the lip oils, that is a pretty new shade they added. I don't have any of the other eye products but that is good to know about them. 

[makeitup305]

@Samtian I just started trying out their products last year. This year the whole LE collection (the new horizon highlighter, the eye gloss, and the two lip products, were free with purchase over a certain amount. I should've just picked them up individually instead of spending extra but they're really pretty. I can't wait to use them more. What's your favorite product from them?

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 I've been a fan of theirs for a while, but wasn't until a couple years ago I finally got some products. My favorites are the luminizers/highlighters. 

[makeitup305]

@Samtian I really like the one I picked up, although subtle it is not lol

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Haha no they are not! But sometimes it's ok to be seen from space 💪

[makeitup305]

@Samtian I just decluttered my Ofra highlighters and those were intense! 

[Samtian]

@makeitup305 Oooh! I haven't tried them yet.

[makeitup305]

@Samtian Think 2000s level of glow lol

[makeitup305]

These swatches are for myself 1 month ago lol I was looking for swatches of Addiction Tokyo eyeshadows and had trouble finding ones I found truly helpful. 

The Blush Nuancer in Stellar Dust. It's a highlighter with a beige base and an almost duochrome pearl shift

The LE Holiday blush palette in  "Never Ending". The first shade is a Nuancer (their version of highlighter) and has a brighter shift

They have 99 eyeshadows total! These are the Sparkle formula in the shades Stars Witness, Moon River, Midnight Wish, Mariage, and Butterfly Effect. They're everything I've ever wanted in a sparkly formula, on par with ND. If you like UD Space Cowboy, this is the same vibe.

My second Addiction order with a few different eyeshadow formulas. The sun blew the colors out a bit too much, I'll have to take some better pictures. From elbow to wrist: In Romance (Pearl finish), Just Gifted (Prism finish- it has a duochrome sparkle that you can't see here), Private Beach (Pearl finish, but almost a sparkle finish), Nostalgia (Pearl finish, also pretty sparkly), Rigoletto (Pearl finish), Sandy Topaz (Cream shadow). If you want a luminous but not very sparkly look, the Pearl finish is beautiful on the eye. It reminds me of the finish of some TF shadows. The cream is really nice. It had some creasing but nothing crazy even without a primer. I'm missing Tiny Dancer, which is also a sparkle finish.

From elbow to wrist: The Blush Nuancer in Beyond Light and The LE Holiday blush palette102 No Way Out 

In conclusion- I highly recommend the shadows and face products from this brand. They feel very high end, totally worth the money IMO although they do have some coupons floating around.
