Ah thanks so much @CookieGirl1 ! 😘

Great review! @Sunnysmom. All those glorious swatches!  I vote for 'Just a Sec' as cosm. Name of the Year. Pity the item iitself is hum-drum.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks so much @MvLL , yup it’s def cute name!  You don’t want to vote for the tint?! Ugh. Why they gotta. 😆These kind of shimmer pots are so tricky to me. Others may love it I’m sure. 

[MvLL]

@Sunnysmom. Ha, tint has been disqualified! Instead of *the usual* for WtF, it could be Why, That's Fun. 

[Sunnysmom]

Much better @MvLL !  Feel kind of like they’re trying a little too much to be hip and relevant maybe?! 🤷🏻‍♀️In any event I guess they have us talking and that’s what it’s all about!

@Sunnysmom ,

Thank you a thousand times!  Thank you for the swatches and thank you for all the information.  Thank you for going to the trouble to re-post these!  You are very kind. ❤️

[Sunnysmom]

No problem at all @tsavorite , was good to pull them together and revisit them actually! Glad if they help at all. I know some of the shadows look a little dark as I did heavy swatches on them. Love to hear if and what you get! 💞

@Sunnysmom ,

I'm not sure yet, but I will let you know when I decide!  I may proceed slowly. 

I forgot about Jones Road brushes!  I love brushes...  I have Bobbi Brown Brushes already.  That probably won't stop me from wanting to collect the Jones Road brushes.  😊

Is there any advantage to buying JR from Credo?  I'm not familiar with Credo.

[Sunnysmom]

Yup pick and choose for sure @tsavorite . I caved to the brushes when the only way to get the blush was as a set.  And then I did like it so much I thought oh I should now try another one. Ha. I have always liked BB brushes too! I really like Credo. They have a good rewards program with really nice selections , sets, events and their customer service is terrific I think. I will say JR service is also great and efficient. I had a defective blush stick and also the first kit was damaged and they replaced them immediately, no questions asked. 😊

[tsavorite]

Thanks for this information, @Sunnysmom !

I just checked on requirements for free shipping, and it looks like Jones Road requires purchase of $85, while Credo Beauty requires purchases of $50.  😊  (I hate paying for shipping if I can avoid it.)

[Sunnysmom]

Ah yes great idea then for sure @tsavorite ! $50 is much nicer than $85! Do sign up on JR site if you haven’t as sometimes they offer some deals. Not often I’ve found but… sometimes!

@Sunnysmom - Thanks for your review and swatches! 🙂  I saw this brand on Credo and have been curious.  I'm on a no-buy right now, but this is on my radar for later. 💖💖💖

[Sunnysmom]

Happy to do @Titian06. I love that Credo has it too!

JR has a retail store in Montclair, New Jersey @Titian06.

A few random swatches if anybody curious about these products.  New Dior lip balms, WA highlighter ( not yet on Sephora), and Ogee new lipstick. 

Dior Rouge Dior Lip Balm 720 Icóne and Favorite - these are very similar to Hermes lip balms tho these have more pigment. Very smooth and comfy. Not as glossy as others such as Merit or Gucci.

Westman Atelier new Sante- peachy pink highlighter more subtle, less intensity than Rose show here for comparison. 

Ogee Full Bloom lipstick in Baccara - more of a balm lipstick but with excellent color coverage. I’ve not tried the crayons only the lipstick.

I fell in love with everything @Sunnysmom!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Sunnysmom]

Good stuff @Saradestin ! 🥰🥰

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom those highlights look beautiful.

[Sunnysmom]

So pretty and smooth @CookieGirl1 . 

[curlychiquita]

You know I love Dior, @Sunnysmom! I definitely need to pick some of these balms up.  The WA highlighter looks so pretty. The pink isn't really my color and I love the two I have, but I can see the pink looking gorgeous on other people.

[Sunnysmom]

I know you do @curlychiquita !🥰 I bet the lighter shades would be really nice on you. Yeah I was surprised the WA was so pink vs peachy but it’s somewhere in between.
