I tried makeup remover, cleanser and a very gentle rub with a washcloth – it’s the oddest thing! It’s now about 24 hours after I lip swatched it and my lip is still red. 404 gave me a WTF moment – it was extremely streaky and for some reason turned my bottom lip bright red, almost like a reaction but there was no tingle, sting or odd feeling. 407 and 412 worked perfectly like a lightweight stain but in creamy form. I adore the Glossy Stains (reviewed here and here) and a cream version just sounded like a dream come true. ![]() YSL Vinyl Lip Cream in 404, 407 and 412 are items I was really excited to try.Louboutin Loubilaque in Akenana and Bikini (not on sale), based on the good performance I saw with the Rouge Louboutin Loubilaque, I decided to order a few other shades, I haven’t tested them on my lips yet because I swatched a number of other lip products the past couple of days and one item ruined my lips so I’m waiting for them to rebalance/recover.Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder in Telluride is actually something I ordered from Sephora, but accidentally put it with the Nordstrom haul, it’s a luminous soft pink with a very pearly finish, full review next week.The color is just a tiny bit darker than the stock photo but very close, heel is at 2.5 inches which makes them easy to walk in and 100% pain-free (at least for me). Ivanka Trump Ellyn Lace Up Sandals in Rich Chestnut suede are super comfortable and I found them to be true to size.Antica Farmacista Reed Diffuser in Bergamot and Ocean Aria because I love the body cream version of this scent.I haven’t opened any of them yet – for those who use these, do you use one at a time completely before opening another one? Unlike candles, I suspect you can use for a little bit and store away since the reeds become completely soaked with the oils? I bought five variations of the 8.5 oz version. Several of you told me there were a number of options on sale at Nordstrom. Antica Farmacista Santorini Reed Diffuser – I discovered the Acqua Reed Diffuser as shown in this home luxuries post and fell in love.While I do think it is pricey, I believe this jar will last me quite some time, since only a small amount of product is needed.My Nordstrom hauls, mostly from online orders: Price: $18 for the "medium-sized" jar, which gives 2 g (0.07 oz) of product.I use a different setting powder right after the concealer, and then use Bisque on top, only where darkness is still visible. I can't use this on top of concealer to "set" the concealer because the concealer will crease under my eyes.For those of you that are sensitive or allergic to Bismuth Oxychloride, it is still a major ingredient of this product.I've also yet to find a brush that works as well with mineral foundation, so let me know if you have any suggestions! I've been putting off buying a new one, since I think it's rather pricey. Mine came in the Bareminerals starter kit that I purchased about 6 years ago! My brush is in workable condition, but I honestly need a new one. I use the Bareminerals Maximum Coverage Concealer Brush, which can be purchased individually for $20. You will need to purchase a brush in order to apply this properly.Unless you have amazing skin, a cream concealer is still necessary to cover darker eye circles and/or larger blemishes.The packaging has been improved! There is now a piece under the cap that opens & closes the holes (where the product comes out of), so product does not go everywhere.I am very pale, so sometimes concealers have a tendency to look too dark or patchy on me. ![]()
