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 this palette, @Sunnysmom !  If I were willing to spend that much, this is the one I'd get.  Thanks for the lovely swatches! 🥰

[Sunnysmom]

It was for science @Titian06 🤓🥹 right?! It’s not something I am proud of tho but it truly is a lovely formula and color selection! 

[itsfi]

For the price point, it had better be a workhorse @Sunnysmom 😂 This quad is really pretty! 😍

[Sunnysmom]

You got that right @itsfi ! Of course we knew these would be more but wouldn’t it have been great to keep them closer to 95/100 even?! 🥹 think the gold group looks like it would be great neutrals too with that pretty brown toasty shade.

FINALLY Hermes eyeshaows!!!!!!!!

Ombres Vegetales 

The shadows are pigmented - this is one swipe, no primer underneath, 

I was meandering and saw these out. I didn’t have time to play but had a chance to swatch this palette. 

@ChristalM @blackkitty2014 @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @itsfi looks pretty! They are nicely pigmented. I did use a primer on mine and it helped keep it on for about 6 hours I would say so that’s pretty good for me if my eyelids aren’t behaving. 

[itsfi]

I may have already asked this before, in which case, oops & sorry @Sunnysmom, but what eye primer do you use under your shadows? 

[Sunnysmom]

Mine isn’t technically a primer @itsfi as I love to use Trinny cream shadows for everything. Before that I have used UD which I like too but I really like the bit of shimmer that Trinny Magician, Faith and Mystery add to any of my powder shadows! What do you like? 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I usually go with NARS Pro-Prime™ Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base or for non-matte shadows, Valentino Stick With Me Glitter Primer for Eyes, Lips, and Body 10 mL is amazing! ♥️ I’m interested in trying PAT McGRATH LABS IntensifEYES™ Longwear Eyeshadow Primer IntensifEYES™ Longwear Primary at some point; it’s in my bin but I haven’t wanted to open it while I still have both the NARS and Valentino in rotation. 

[Sunnysmom]

I’ve been curious about the PM primer @itsfi tho now I’ll look at the other 2 too, thank you! I don’t pay enough attention to primers and I should. They really make such a difference for sure! 

[ChristalM]

@itsfi oh thanks!

[itsfi]

P.S. the eye brushes look pretty 😍 I was told the black serum mascara is selling out fast. @blackkitty2014 @Sunnysmom @ChristalM 

[Sunnysmom]

I’m curious about the mascara too @itsfi . If I didn’t have a bunch to use up I would try. I will soon I think once that happens! One YT said it built up well. One SA told me she wasn’t super impressed but I still would love to see it! Did you get to see the consistency by any chance? 

[itsfi]

The bristles are of the thinner kind @Sunnysmom. The formula seems to be between a wet and dry mascara - creamy but not too creamy. I should have swatched it on my hand but that slipped my mind in the moment. The brown shade looks on the lighter chocolate side than say an espresso brown shade. 

[Sunnysmom]

Super helpful info @itsfi thank you so much! I like that idea of inbetween. Side car- (donuts did you say?! Lol) did you try the newer VBB or WA? The VBB is decent. Kind of inbetween but not too volumizing maybe.  Didn’t try the WA. 

[itsfi]

@Sunnysmom, I’ve not tried either the new or original versions of the VBB or WA. I usually go for waterproof or tubing mascaras so I passed on the ones from those brands. Fearful of smudging. I don’t look good as a raccoon. 🦝 😂 

[Sunnysmom]

What @itsfi ?! No Rockys?! 😂 Same here. Ugh. Sometimes my eye creams can contribute so much to that. 

I know this isn’t a mascara thread but I also remembered that @blackkitty2014 mentioned liking Valentino Magnificent Smudgeproof Volumizing Mascara so that’s been on my wishlist for a good long bit! Have you tried per chance?! 🥰

[itsfi]

Haven’t tried the Valentino @Sunnysmom. Mascara is the one category, maybe brow gels/pomades too, that I am actually pretty good about only having one or two products open (and in use) at any given time. Small victories, but victories nonetheless 😆 

[Sunnysmom]

I used to be @itsfi , then a few new ones I had to try messed all that up! Lol Thankfully I can keep brow products to a very small minimum too, phew. I’ll take it! 😆

[blackkitty2014]

Oh thx you @itsfi . I’m eyeing this quad. ❤️🥰😘
