The Becca you NEED! That's a good wish list...I need to update mine soon!

Feb 11, 2016

Alexis C.

Nikol, it's been on my list for FOREVER, I just haven't gotten around to getting it yet!

Nice list! I just got that Becca moonstone about a month ago! It's such a beautiful soft highlight.

The CoverFX custom cover drops are amazing!
I'd try it out at Sephora and try mixing it with a primer or moisturizer to see if it matches cause I find it can look a tad lighter or darker depending on what you use.

I personally prefer primer and that stuff really stays on even though I'm oily and tend to sweat on my nose and upper lip a bit.

Feb 11, 2016

Alexis C.

Kayla, thank you! I'm excited for it and I haven't even gotten it yet, lol

Aurora, I want it so I can add some more coverage to my foundation when I want a more full coverage look so if/when I do get it I'll use Sephora's IQ thing to find the match for my foundation (:

Feb 11, 2016

Aurora S.

Ahh yeah I haven't tried them with a foundation since mine are mostly fuller coverage but the custom cover drops are great, totally worth it IMO :)

Alexis C.

Thank you, Aurora! (:

The chrysalis palette is on sale on sephora.com right now. I love using it and it is a rare cool toned palette in a world of warm palettes. Very pigmented and blend able and you can create so many looks with it. And it works well with Poe for a bold look ;)

Feb 11, 2016

Alexis C.

Grace, I had seen that it was on sale! I think that might be my first purchase from this updated list once I get paid on Friday. I'll keep in mind to try a look with it and Poe (:

As Aurora mentioned the Cover fx drops are amazing. its the only product I have from your wish list and honestly its so worth it. I add it to moisterizers, bb creams and foundations and it just gives the best coverage and it almost makes the given product like a million times better. I even mix it with concealers that are too pink for my yellow undertone. I will repurchase this product when I run out!
and I just have a question for you, just out of curiosity. do you have a lot of eyeshadow palettes? and do you use them/finish them? just curious because I see a few on your list and I know of some beautylishers who collect a lot... but I can't even use up the 5-6 that I have. I was curious if it was more of a collection thing or if they actually ever "finish"

Lara C.

And I really don't mean it in like a judgmental way. I also have the same question about lipsticks and stuff like I have probably around 50 lip product (at least half were gifts) and I literally use 2-3 on an irregular basis.

Feb 11, 2016

Alexis C.

Thanks, Lara! I do have a bit of a collection with eyeshadow palettes and I've never hit pan on any of them. I'm very much a collector but I try to make sure I use them all at least once in awhile since I have a few I absolutely love and keep in constant rotation (:

Marleen B.

My Wish List:
*Natasha Denona Primer & highlighter
*Becca Primer
*Houglass Strobe Powder
*Tony Moly Sheet Masks
*Another Morphe Palette (haven't decided which one)
*Either Bare Minerals Concealer or Makeup Forever Concealer
*Not exactly on a wish list because I already ordered these, but since they are new, they aren't being shipped out till mid February : Mally Double ended Sculpting Lip Pencil & the new IT Cosmetics Superhero mascara.
Also been eyeballing an old discontinued shadow palette on ebay but can't pull the trigger because of the price.

The Shimmering Skin Perfector is amazing! I mix it with my foundation and it gives me a really nice soft glow without me feeling like my face has gone disco ball mode. Similar to the cover FX drops (which I haven't tried) you can use as much or as little as you need. It’s really stunning.

I read some reviews about the MacX9 Palettes that they weren’t quite as nice as the single shadows, either in packaging or in the build your own palette. Since you already own one, I’m curious as to your thoughts on this?

I have the Sigma brush, it’s really nice. But I feel like it’s quite pricey for what it is. I would say that if you have a foundation brush that you really love, then it’s not worth it. If you’re looking for one, I know there was just a post with some affordable brush options and a nice breakdown on the cost and quality.

The others I can’t speak to as I don’t own them! I’d love it if you came back to review what you do end up grabbing :)

Alexis C.

Awesome list, Marleen!

Michelle, I should've specified that I'm looking into the pressed versions of the Shimmering Skin Perfector, lol! The only thing that bothers me about the MAC Purple x9 Palette is that the shadow names aren't printed anywhere on the packing but I have no issues with performance or pigmentation. I've wanted that Sigma brush for a really long time now and I think I'll end up getting it soon as I'm becoming less happy with the performance of my current foundation brush. Thank you! (:

Marleen B.

Alexis, Thanks, I left out some Morphe brushed that I ordered yesterday.

Feb 11, 2016

Alexis C.

I never even noticed that sticker on the bottom! Could they make it any smaller? Lol, they should've just filled the whole back with the names.

Livi H.

Ah awesome list and I I know what you mean by getting a couple things and end up wanting way more than first anticipated. My wish list is actually the viseart cool palette and the dark matte! Two things but it adds up to 160 lol!! Oh the life of me.

Feb 12, 2016

Alexis C.

Livi, I want a Viseart palette but I know my wallet would kill me, lol. I just ordered the Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Requiem and the Sigma F80 today! (:

Jamie D.

Alexis, I love Requiem! I wish it pulled a bit more purple on me, but it's definitely a unique color and you can't go wrong with the formula :)

Feb 13, 2016

Alexis C.

Thank you, Jamie! I got it mainly to layer over Bow N Arrow like NikkieTutorials on YouTube does but once it arrives I'll see how it looks on me on its own (:

The chrysalis palette is awesome! I absolutely encourage you to get it. I honestly prefer it over the monarch palette. I know you love Lorac pro palettes---I think this palette has similar pigmentation and texture to those--but it lasts a lot longer. Definitely my favorite of my 5 KVD palettes.

Feb 14, 2016

Alexis C.

Stephanie, it was sold out by the time I went to order it. I think Sephora's just getting rid of it so I may never be able to get it :P.

Feb 14, 2016

Stephanie G.

I had a feeling they were doing that. I bought it this summer because I noticed the stores weren't restocking it. It's weird that they've kept Monarch buy not chrysalis.

Requiem is a great shade! Let us know how you like it!
