What a haul Jamie!! Wauw!! Which product are you most excited about?

Aug 4, 2015

Jamie D.

Thanks Sabrina! And I'm not sure; there's so much to try...but it'd probably have to be the brushes! I've finally started updating my cheap set from eBay and I'm super happy about it :)

Jacqueline - They're so soft! I can't wait to really pull them out & use them. Do you like the Hakuhodo brush cleanser, or is there another you would recommend? The cleanser I currently have is high on alcohol and there's no way I'm using that on these.

Lili - thank you! The Nars Dominique is my favorite at the moment...I actually dragged my fam to the Nars boutique since it's one of the shades they don't sell at Sephora. If you're into purples it's a must have, especially since the Nars Audacious formula is so wonderful :)

Yes sure :) I have the complete eye set in rose gold and I absolutely love that set, feels like great quality. Then I have the Vegan prime set which have both eye and face bruches and I like most of the brushes but I don't feel like the quality is as high in the powder brush and the blush brush.

The best brush - is their concealer buffer! Ohhhh I love that - I have 2! 1 I use for concealer and 1 I use for eyeshadow especially for the crease :)

Sabrina - thank you! I'll definitely check out the buffer brush, and maybe some eye brushes too...once my wallet recovers lol.

Jacqueline - yes I had read about not washing them often at all, and about the tissue technique. I've also read a muslin cloth works also...but I'll probably just stick with tissues lol. I'm planning a (small) Beautylish order just for some necessities so I'll definitely add the London Brush Company soap to my list :) Thanks so much for the help!

Ohhh girl, I'm so in love with this!! The Hakuhodo brushes and Monarch palette and omg your own lipstick!! This is amazing!! Do you mind swatching the shade you made?

Aug 4, 2015

Jamie D.

Hannah - not at all! I'm currently at work but when I get home I'll definitely swatch it :)

Thank you so much :) did you have a total blast?? It's such a cool experience, I think!

What a great haul!! enjoy! I would love to see a swatch of the ud concealer and laura mercier highlighter when you get a minute. I'm planning on buying both soon :-)

Jamie D.

Hannah - I did! And you actually just reminded me that I asked you about it and then was a total dork and forgot to respond oh my god 😅 I'm sorry! But it is quite a cool experience!

Rebecca - no problem I can definitely swatch them! And I'm actually thinking I'm going to return the concealer...it's just not working for me. It's the slightest bit too yellow, which I could deal with, but it gets in my dry patches like nothing else. My worst dry patches are on my acne, since I use drying products to try and kill zits, and I can't use this UD concealer anywhere near them because it cakes all up in dry skin flakes that I didn't even know we're there.

The concealer that I used before this, the Nars Radiant Creamy, is somewhat known for creasing a bit under the eyes, but the UD is honestly worse. I look 70 by the end of the day. I'm 16! I don't have wrinkles! Maybe I got a dud or something, because everyone seems to love it, but I really don't. If I still can't figure out a way to make it work by the end of the week, I'm returning it. If you have oily skin you may like it though. I'm sorry to bum you out with a bad review but if your planning on purchasing it I thought I should probably give you my thoughts.

Ha, don't worry about it :) as long as you went and enjoyed yourself that's all that matters!

Girl I'm obsessed with the nars audacious lipsticks I can buy them for everr and ever lol.

Jamie D.

Hannah - Ahh, I still feel kinda bad. But I did enjoy myself immensly :)

Lili - I know you can lol join the club! They're fabulous ;) Dominique is stuuunnnniiinnng; if they sold it at Sephora I would have owned it ages ago.

Thanks for the quick review. I am generally oily but suffering with dry patches under and on my eyes at the moment from psoriasis so I think I will pass! I've tried the nars one and while it's ok its not moisturising enough for me :/ I do love maybelline fit me but I'm looking for a new high end one to try. The search continues!

Jamie D.

Rebecca - sorry to shatter your hopes! Let me know if you find that dream concealer...I'm still looking for it too.

Aug 4, 2015

Rebecca J.

Thanks for the swatch! Would you say it has a slight sheen to the highlighter?
