The Hermès Thread

[Mcakes]

This thread is dedicated to all things Hermès! While Sephora doesn't carry the makeup line (maybe one day??), that doesn't stop us from wanting these pretties in our collections 😉

I love seeing these swatches, @Sunnysmom - they're so gorgeous!  I own a lot of blushes with shimmers in them. I'm looking forward to trying this matte line out. If I love the Rose Tan, I'll probably purchase a second in a pink shade. These swatches will really help!

[Sunnysmom]

I do too to be honest @curlychiquita and you are exactly right! Lol it is a good thing to have when I really think about it ! 😂 I think the brilliant @itsfi also reminded me that having a bit of shimmery highlighter underneath will help to bring out a glow too! 🥰🤦🏻‍♀️ duh. Lol I was putting some over it but under is so much better. And the Saie spf tint is perfect for it I realized! I think you will definitely want another one soon. Can’t wait to see yours! I wish the refill option was easier for them. I def would have done that to save the money! Ugh.

Awww @Sunnysmom, you're too much. 🤗 I picked up a fair amount of highlighters last year (probably this year too, but shhh!!!) and have been wearing them under my more matte products to give them just enough radiance.

You like the look of the Hermes blush with the Saie Dewy TM? I picked up the Saie during the sale and will give that combo a try when it arrives. 

[Sunnysmom]

Never enough highlighters or blush it seems @itsfi , ugh! Great use for them! Yes I like the Saie TM under them and also Sunvisor or Rare Beauty Optimist , any liquid illuminizer I think. If it feels a bit sticky I use a super light dusting of the Guerlain pearls or any illuminating powder from Chantecaille,  new Kosas finishing powder before the powder blush or liquid blushes. 💞

Here are pics if the lip and blush on. Please I am not a model nor a photographer so excuse the photo!

I LOVE THESE. I can't believe

I am in love with a $87 lipbalm!

[Mcakes]

@ChristalM for $87 I'm so glad that you're in love with this lip balm! It loves you back 😉

[ChristalM]

@Mcakes Ah thanks. She is a beauty for sure!

[Titian06]

@ChristalM - Your earrings and necklace caught my attention first--gorgeous!  The lip balm and blush are very pretty!  💖💖💖

[ChristalM]

@Titian06 Oh you are so sweet! Shhhh but I paid about $5 for each of them! Cheapie costume stuff!

[missjeanie]

Gahhhhh @ChristalM Is it wrong that I was kinda hoping you guys would hate the lip balm? lol, it looks beautiful on you!!

[Sunnysmom]

Me too @missjeanie @ChristalM ! 😂 You guys I can’t believe they are that pricey for you all. 😕 😢

[ChristalM]

@missjeanie Oh you are too kind! I totally understand! Ouch am I right!

[missjeanie]

@ChristalM I'm still looking and contemplating.  In Canada it'll work out to over 100$.  I feel like I've never really drawn a line on beauty pricing before... but 100$ for a balm just feels like too much for me.  Gosh we'll see if it ends up happening anyhow though lol!

[ChristalM]

@missjeanie Oh my I know! I am in Canada too and the balm and blush shipped with taxes was $214?! 

I have a momentary lapse in judgement...that seems to be lingering!

[missjeanie]

I feel like once you get over the hurdle once it might be a bit easier the next few times @ChristalM ?  I'm telling myself to wait for a special occasion and then get it as a 'treat'. lol.... we'll see if I can hold out.

[ChristalM]

@missjeanie yeah it is amazing how much easier it is to pay those prices the second time around! HAHA

[missjeanie]

@ChristalM lol That's exactly what I'm afraid of!  I actually watched a couple more youtube videos of the balm and blushes last night.... I have to distract myself with something else this week!

[curlychiquita]

@ChristalM They look amazing on you! Especially the lip balm - it's the perfect shade for you. It looks like the perfect non-drying, matte lipstick.  I'm really looking forward to trying it. 

[ChristalM]

@curlychiquita Ah thanks. They are pretty nice. I am eyeing the middle shade as well but ouch that price!

[Sunnysmom]

You look darling @ChristalM ! Perfect esthetic for Hermes lifestyle also! 💞 Oh dear, you really love it ?! Maybe I can figure out just getting the refill to be happy. Leave it to them to do a perfect lip balm! 😫
