I love thé shimmer and the gold! @SportyGirly125  It looks absolutely perfect on you

[SportyGirly125]

@Georgiiiaaa Thank you ☺️ 

[Sunnysmom]

Wow this is a pretty gold @SportyGirly125 . Do these exist in other shades or is this a new formula etc? I’m not familiar with them other than the compact highlighters. 🙂 

[SportyGirly125]

@Sunnysmom it only comes in this shade. I was talking to the sales rep and her and I agreed it’s the closest thing to their lustre drops from years ago but not exactly.  More similar to their strobe tint illuminating highlighters and their Dazzle Drops. 

[Sunnysmom]

Ok good to know @SportyGirly125 thanks. I did like the strobe tints . I should revisit my drawer! 🥹

A few of the new Mario lips. Tribeca true cool red and Forest Hills wine which is almost like an intense Clinique Black Honey?! 

MAKEUP BY MARIO SuperSatin® Lipstick Tribeca and MAKEUP BY MARIO SuperSatin® Lipstick Forest Hills 

They feel like a heavy ish lip satin- like hybrid -balm almost with a comfy satin finish. 😳😂.  I wouldn’t say they have much of a stain even tho one swipe def does cover the lips and they remain very soothing and comfortable . They definitely also have a vanilla-like cake flavor. These remind me of something I have. 🤔 

@Titian06 did you pick any up yet?! These happened to be on the way home from my Whole Foods. 🤓

Spoiler- also some fast messy swatches of almost all colors. Some of the nudes are quite similar but I know the nude afectionados will see all the nuances ☺️. Was moving very fast because a lot of interest in these around me today! A few were missing, apologies. Bronx Baby on the top across is the hot ticket I am told. 💞

Tribeca true blue red and Forest Hills wine- has some brown to it and almost like an intense Clinique black honey

Ooh awesome, you swatched almost every one @Sunnysmom 😍

Can I ask what are your continued thoughts on this lippie? I really enjoyed the one I picked up (Soho)  I definitely ordered another. 😄

Did you ever find out what they remind you of?

[CynthieLu]

@Sunnysmom No I don't own any of those. I'm wish I did thou lol. 😉 I bet they are fabulous!

I did order one more of the SuperSatin's. I wish they lasted longer too. I'm happy to reapply but it would be a nice touch if be they could manage it for us. 

I did really like that Soho faded away gently, it was a nice transition that I do appreciate. 

[Sunnysmom]

That’s a good point @CynthieLu . A good fade is great! I’m also comforted by the fact that you think they could be more long-lasting! I always think that’s just me! 🙃

[Sunnysmom]

I really enjoy the comforting feel of them do you @CynthieLu ? Because my lips are quite pale I do wish they had a bit more pigment and were longer lasting. But I can live with it because they feel so nice. 😊 A few similar lips that I compared come to mind tho they’re still not quite exactly the same ,grr lol . They all have that heavy balm feel. Ogee ,Red Apple, Le Rouge Francais , Gucci Sheer Lipstick 506 Louisa Red , Gucci Hydrating Lip Balm 4 Penelope Plum , and MERIT Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick L'avenue seem close ish. Do you have any of these? Still working on comparisons! ☺️

[Georgiiiaaa]

Ooh! @Sunnysmom  These look like some great colours!

[Sunnysmom]

Very comfy, very nice range of shades @Georgiiiaaa ! 

[Titian06]

Not yet, @Sunnysmom .  Rockefeller, Tribeca, and Forest Hills are my radar.

[Sunnysmom]

Rockefeller is gorgeous @Titian06 ! I debated that one, so good. Keep me posted! 💞

@Samtian here are swatches of my RdF haul and some of their other products in my collection.

From elbow to wrist- Ash and Ember Eye Soots in Cultist, Half Light, Flora, Fauna, Mineralia. Then Celestial Sphere Gelée Eye Gloss in Caelum, Vela, Aria, and Serpens.

I hadn't tried any of their eye soots so I picked up two of their classics (Cultist and Half Light), which are both really nice, almost one and done shades, in a warm and a cool version. I picked up the other 3 in a set and was least excited about Mineralia but it looks so much better on the eyes for some reason. It's a perfect brown for me. I already had Aria and Serpens. Aria is a great one and done, glossy eye. Serpens is not a favorite of mine since it has an almost grey base that is not very flattering as the gold fades during the day and just looks kind of muddy on me. Caelum and Vela are both gorgeous. I haven't tried them much yet but Vela is a similar one and done like Aria and Caelum is more of a grungy smokey shade. I want Serpentine but that will have to wait. 😉 I love that they switched up the packaging of the eye products. The opening is now wider and it's made of glass. It feels quite elevated. 

From elbow to wrist- Metamorphic Highlighter in New Horizon and Inner Glow Creme Pigment in Eros. Then Crystalline Matter Eye Soots in Moonstone, Fire Opal, Alexandrite, and Serpentine. The Highlighter is very sparkly but so gorgeous. The formula is a little heavy so it might not be very flattering but I love the sparkle and glossy sheen. Eros is very pigmented and a pretty brown shade. I haven't tried it yet as a blush or bronzer, I'm a little scared lol, but if anything it'll make a pretty cream eyeshadow. The Crystalline Matter Eye Soots are always really limited and I picked this set up last year. They're a little trickier to use, since you kind of have to scoop up the flakes and then squish them to get an even layer. They're gorgeous, though.

The two lip products are the Thorn Bite Peptide Plum Creme Lip Oil (what a mouthful!) in  Night Rose and the Enchanted Lip Sheer in Snakeroot. The lip oil is nice. The scent is a little essential oil heavy for me but I can't taste it and it dissipates quickly. It's quite hydrating as well. The packaging is nice and heavy. The color is very pretty on. I love the color of the Lip Sheer but the packaging is not a favorite. It feels kind of cheap for the price. If you push in the cap too much it'll break.

I love those colours so much they are so glittery and shimmery! @makeitup305 

[makeitup305]

@Georgiiiaaa it's a really cool brand. The shades rarely disappoint!

[tsavorite]

@makeitup305 ,

Your RdF eyeshadow swatches are beautiful!

[makeitup305]

thank you! @tsavorite it's such an interesting brand! They do some really unique products.

[Sunnysmom]

Wonderful swatches @makeitup305 ! You have so many pretties! ! I have some RdF stuff that I love! They really have some fun colors! 

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I love that they do different stuff and aren't just following the trend or doing more of the same. Each piece feels well thought out and special.
