NP! Ahhh, makes sense @makeitup305 .  There's an Ulta nearby, but they don't carry ND there, which is odd because I thought it was the flagship here 🤷🏽‍♀️

DIOR Rosy Glow Blush 062 Bronzed Glow is soooo pretty.  I knew I wanted it, but now I badly want it 🤣.  It's a beautiful coppery/reddish bronze.  Ironically, I thought Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Lowlighter Soft Glow Highlighter Off The Grid would look more like a coppery bronze, but it's more neutral and vice versa.

Crosspost of the new LE Gucci lip in Rosso Ancora. It’s so saturated and brightening! Cool-toned poinsettia red rose. I was told it’s only available online to Gucci and LE. Was hoping it would come to Sephora and others and that it would not be LE as it’s a little diff tone than other Gucci reds. Maybe they’re redo it! Just love it! 

Here it is compared to other cool reds I have. I thought it was more like Myra but it’s actually a bit closer to Janie Mat and Eadie Mat irl. Dot more pink/cooler. FYI @Titian06 @sister13

Gorgeous color @Sunnysmom

They really came up with a beaut @makeitup305 !

Some quick swatches of some of the new Ilia Lip Sketch lip pencils. Forgive my paw, hated to swatch all up my arm in store .🤣 They didn’t have all in store yet . I did buy a few and they’re very easy, comfy and stay on! Creamy tho not dry at all. No bleeding. I’m not usually a big lip crayon person because I don’t love the pencil taste but it’s not too prominent of these. Really pretty colors! Did anybody else buy these yet? @WinglessOne  

ILIA Lip Sketch Hydrating Lipstick + Lip Liner Crayon Night Bloom  

[Titian06]

I just heard about these, @Sunnysmom .  Thanks for posting swatches!  Do you know the colors 3 & 4 from left in your pic?  I do like lip crayons, so I may pick up one or two.

[Sunnysmom]

They’re great @Titian06 ! Yes 3rd one is Kiln and 4th is Night Bloom! 💞

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom you said that they stay on--like, for several hours?  Through eating/drinking?

[Sunnysmom]

Honestly it did @CookieGirl1 . It was crazy. I had lunch and coffee and a meeting!  Still a good even stain was left and felt very comfortable.  This was with Night Bloom in particular. I will wear Blue Note today and see how it does. It could be because it’s a vibrant very pigmented shade too vs a lighter one. Not sure if that’ll make a difference . Suppose it could? 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom ooh, those do sound promising!  I need to make it to a store to swatch them for myself now 😊.

[WinglessOne]

@Sunnysmom  Nope, haven’t tried these yet. I want to swatch them all in-store because in the brand’s model photos, some shades look too similar. For instance, I can imagine 2 of the red shades looking exactly the same on my natural lip coloring; won’t know for certain til I swatch ‘em on my hand and a white tissue (so I can really see the base color). 

Also, I know this is asking too much of this brand (they’re not known for “unconventional” or fun bold shades of anything; eh, their liquid eyeshadows come close, for folks who love pastels) but, I’d love to see at least one shade beyond the safe range of nudes, reds, and berries. I’m bored by all these safe lipstick shade ranges by so many brands. I should be happy about that since it’s helping me not buy much lipstick lately. 😂 But c’mon guys, can’t you at least slip a true purple shade into your lipstick line? Even a brighter bolder pink would be good. Nothing in ILIA’s shade range is beyond the mundane. They’re pretty, don’t get me wrong, and I do love reds and berries in general so it’s not like I wouldn’t buy and wear one. I’m just tired of all the safety shades that have flooded the market. 

On a more positive note, it’s good to hear these crayons aren’t drying and are long wearing. 👍 I might see these as potential replacements of my beloved Lipstick Queen Cupid’s Bow crayons, which I will lovingly cling to until they finally go bad. 

[Sunnysmom]

I hear you @WinglessOne . It’s true these are very safe shades. It would be fun if they expanded tho I don’t really see it as being part of their brand maybe? Wish they would! I am swatching the ones I got and the differences are the typical subtle ones you will recognize. True neutral red, blue red vs orange red that I did not get. Debated the Kiln Berry but it seemed more common too. Not that the ones I got aren’t! 🥹 I do really like them tho. I have always liked their lips even tho not totally remarkable. Very comfortable and good for throwing on. I. Have. Plenty. Lol 

[makeitup305]

Those are some nice shades @Sunnysmom . Glad they're good!

[sister13]

Pretty! I swatched a couplein store but didn’t buy any (for once, lol) @Sunnysmom 

[sister13]

I bought the new lightest shade of the LYS bronzer stick

LYS Beauty No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick Motivate  on top and LYS Beauty No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick Hope  on bottom.

These are super creamy, definitely lean warmer, but this lightest shade is the coolest one so far.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @sister13 , I wondered as well! I’m sure they’re as creamy as the LYS blush which are so fantastic. Nice to see a cooler tone! 

[sister13]

Yes they’re super creamy and blendable! @Sunnysmom 

[makeitup305]

Thanks for the swatches @sister13 !

[sister13]

[caitbird]

@sister13  oh I was just wondering about how these looked! Thank you for sharing!

[sister13]
