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 know you get it @itsfi ! 😂 Yup you got it exactly right. It can look a little warmer in differing light but it’s super subtle neutral. I wondered why they were doing this more golden shade but now that we see it I think I understand as it is more neutral. I do hope they do a cooler shade too. I suppose. 😕😭

[Sunnysmom]

FYI- Highlighter is now up on their site as well as Saks, NM and BG. Not sure if sold out on Nordies or just not on yet. 🤩

I've noticed Nordstrom has been late to Hermes releases lately, and doesn't carry the full range? They had the Magenta LE lipstick right away earlier this year, but didn't get the other ones until a month or longer later, so I had to order the one I wanted (Rose Tamise) from another site. And then I decided about a week ago to pick up the Rose Ombre blush shade after seeing it in a YT video. Nordstrom doesn't carry that shade? so again, I went with someone else....I think Bergdorf's. just kind of odd.

[Sunnysmom]

Yup @taylorrness I think Nordstrom gets very limited quantities and it sells out so quickly that it also maybe appears they never had it lol. And then it shows up again. That’s how I got Magenta as well. I was so surprised it was on there. Lol I’m sure it’ll pop up any old time! I love love Ombré! It’s my favorite and I’m a huge pink fan like Nuit so this one surprised me. It’s just so nice and neutral but perfect! Poivre is also on Hermes site now fyi in case you were interested in that shade. 😊

Michele Wang included a swatch of the new Hermès highlighter in her recent YT video (which has some serious gorgeous holiday releases).

Not sure who else might be interested. 

[itsfi]

For folks interested (or on the fence about the highlighter), there are more swatches are showing up on YT, including this one from Tara Lynn's video.

from Tara Lynn's YT - at 12:33 mark

Allfeisty and Angela Van Rose also swatch the highlighter and compare it to a few others.

[taylorrness]

I was waiting for the comparison to Amrezy! of course I ordered the Hermes anyway, but I'm glad they're different!

[itsfi]

@taylorrness, the comparison swatches are helpful! I’m so excited for your Hermès to arrive. 😍 Would love to hear your thoughts on it after you’ve had a chance to play with it.

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @itsfi ! Super helpful! 🥰

[Mcakes]

So pretty @itsfi !! I went into my Hermès store last week but they didn't have them in stock yet. Still holding out to get it in either the boutique or online 😅

[itsfi]

@Mcakes, all I could think of when you said "I went into my Hermès store last week" was 😍😍😍 ❣️ So many pretty distractions in that store. 

If When you get the highlighter, do let us know! I will be readying myself to celebrate your beautiful haul!! 🛍

[Mcakes]

@itsfi It's always such a fun visit! I actually saw someone get offered a Birkin while I was shopping 😍

[PrettyPaint]

That is beautiful @itsfi 

[itsfi]

It is, isn’t it @PrettyPaint?!! 😍 That’s always part of the problem. 😂 Especially this time of the year. The holiday releases are all so beautiful! 

[curlychiquita]

I watched her video and it looks beautiful on her, @itsfi. I really wanted it at first from pictures, but now I'm not sure it will look good one.  I wear a lot of peach leaning highlights, so it may be nice to have a gold/brass one. 

[itsfi]

@curlychiquita, at first I was all set to pass - I think it may be too gold / warm for me. Then in some photos it looks like it leans a little on the cool side and I think … hmmm. 🤔 I think I’ll ultimately end up passing on it, but it would be helpful to see more more swatches of the product on different skin tones. I don’t know if you have a Bloomingdale’s near you or if it carries Hermès, but I was told that the store should be getting it in the first or second week of November. 

[blackkitty2014]

Thx you @itsfi . Tough! 😘 looks great to me. Decision! Decision!

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, it looks so good on her and in the swatch. I think I’ll probably end up passing on it but if you pick it up, I will live vicariously through you! 😊

[Sunnysmom]

Oh thank you @itsfi , I love watching her reviews. 😘 Now to decide if it’s too gold or not! (please be , please don’t be…!) 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I hear you. There are some photos where it looks like it leans gold-ish and then there are pics where I think it’s more cool toned than I originally thought. That’s just not helpful. 😂 

[Sunnysmom]

😂 It really is not @itsfi ! 🤣 It’s kind of a conundrum, how can it look like both tones?!
