Oh such gorgeous swatches! @itsfi. Especially Poupre

and Rose.

[itsfi]

@MvLL, thank you. Those 2 shades you mentioned are beautiful.

[ChristalM]

@itsfi oh my gosh! That you so much!

[itsfi]

You're very welcome @ChristalM! We ended up going out to dinner last night and the restaurant was close enough to one of the stores that I conveniently took a different route - I personally thought it was a pleasant scenic route. 😉 These smell really nice too!

2 of the Kolorete lips , out of California.  They describe them as a hybrid hydrating lipstick balm and they really are. They feel amazing! If you love lemongrass oil , beeswax etc you will love the scent as it’s quite strong and almost nostalgic for me. Not sure what old lippies had it but it’s really pretty. Other colors as well. 
Red Manhattan and Bordeaux. You guys have prob seen these but just tagging for fun. 😊

Kolorete but with a C (colorete) is how we call blush in Spain 😁. You probably can use them that way as well 😉. They are gorgeous and so pigmented!

[Sunnysmom]

I love that @Saradestin ! 🥰 Yes I do use lippies as blush and I will def with these as well!  Such a fresh look! 🌸😘

[blackkitty2014]

Thx for the tag @Sunnysmom . These look beautiful 

[Sunnysmom]

They feel just so amazing and comforting you can’t believe it @blackkitty2014 ! 💞

Thanks for the tag, @Sunnysmom , and the beautiful swatches! I had to go look at the lipsticks... I think I've seen them before but maybe not. The 2 mauve shades caught my attention but I'm not sure I could comfortably wear these because of the lemongrass oil. I love the scent of lemongrass, but not sure I want it right under my nose all day, plus that much lemongrass oil's bound to irritate my facial skin. I'm glad these lipsticks work for you, though! I bet they smell wonderful, and good to know they really are comfy. 

[Sunnysmom]

@WinglessOne just thought you may wanna see them. 😊 I was wondering how the lemongrass would be too or if it would irritate me. The scent doesn’t stay for long at all which I should have probably added. By the way can you think of other lines that use it?! It’s just bugging me lol. Was so familiar but I can’t figure out why! Not from hot tea etc but in some lip or something. Maybe something from 1000 years ago!

The new CT Pillow Talk Romance Light multi glow highlighter.  Lovely shimmer with minimal sparkle mainly on the pinky shade only. April 7 on Sephora.

That packaging is gorgeous! Just to look at it and not touching it! 😅 So beautiful @Sunnysmom,!

[makeitup305]

really great swatches @Sunnysmom, thank you! Such a gorgeous highlighter.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @makeitup305 ! Did you pick this up as well? I can see it on you! 🥰

[makeitup305]

@Sunnysmom I swatched it during the sale but skipped it. I have some shades in my collection that reminded me of it so I held strong 😉

[Sunnysmom]

Admire your strength @makeitup305 ! 😘 I’m trying to pick my battles as best I can, baby steps for sure. Ugh. Lol 

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom I was eyeing this highlighter. Do you feel it's a must have or do you think I can skip it? Thanks so much for all your lovely swatches 💜

[Sunnysmom]

Hmm @niki172 , good question. I think if you have others from Dior, CT, Chanel, LM, BB, ND, Guerlain even etc you are probably covered tho this one may be cooler. I think Chanel and Dior are prob closest esp the newest Chanel Camellia as it’s more shimmer vs sparkle. I will dig some out for comparisons and find you? The thing this one offers to me is the slightly more deepened pink/ mauve /plum shift vs others. That helped me rationalize it! Plus the little discount from CT helped as well. Sephora’s 20% would clearly be better but I didn’t know how soon it would be coming so I pulled the trigger! 😆(I’ll be curious to see the other shade that @TraceyEB bought I believe as it looks quite a bit warmer but I was worried it would maybe be too warm).😘

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom well I do own Dior Dior Forever Couture Luminizer Highlighter Powder 02 Pink Glow and of course you know I have the new Chanel so it sounds like maybe I'm good to go then(?). A plum shift is interesting but I'm not sure how it would play out on my skintone. Thanks for all your help!

[Sunnysmom]

The plum is light, but I think you’re probably good @niki172 😘. Bet those are just beautiful on your skin. 🥰
