Laura Mercier French Riviera Tinted Moisturizer Blush

French Riviera Laura Mercier French Riviera Tinted Moisturizer Blush ($28.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a deeper, reddish-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a satin-matte finish. The formula had a fluid, gel-like texture that was thin, lightweight, and spreadable that dried down to a more semi-matte finish that wasn’t fully flat but was transfer-resistant. It had more medium to semi-opaque coverage using a small amount (same as other shades), so it seemed more pigmented than most shades in the range and more pigmented than marketed, though one could use even less to get sheerer and more buildable results if desired. It stayed on nicely for nine hours before showing signs of fading. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

B-Glowing 50% Off Sale - All Brands, All Products, No Minimum

From now through May 15th, you can get 50% off all products and all brands at B-Glowing when you use code 50GLOW . That’s a pretty tremendous deal… and they say “last chance to save,” which makes me wonder what’s going on. Behind-the-scenes, the retailer pulled out of all affiliate programs, which A+ for not dragging me through the bankruptcy process (hello, Neiman Marcus!), but it wasn’t until this sale came through this morning that I wondered if they were closing or filing for bankruptcy. I have shopped through b-glowing previously, and I haven’t had any issues, so they are a legitimate retailer, in case anyone was worried! And lastly, the stock that is available is a mish-mash across brands with many brands having no products available at all! When I did a quick google search, I didn’t find anything about the retailer filing for bankruptcy or closing down, but it doesn’t look good.

How can a makeup brand regain a positive reputation in your eyes?

It really depends on how much damage was done to their reputation and in what respect. If it’s a quality issue, then they’ll just have to put out better releases that are more consistent for a year or longer. If it’s more of an ethics issue, say a “forgivable” kind of thing, then maybe six... — Christine Join Discussion source https://www.temptalia.com/how-can-a-makeup-brand-regain-a-positive-reputation-in-your-eyes/

ILNP Walking Home, Morning Rays, In the Clouds Nail Polishes Reviews & Swatches

Walking Home ILNP Walking Home Holographic Nail Polish ($10.00 for 0.4 oz.) is a deep, bluish-purple with cool undertones with holographic flakes and finer violet shimmer throughout. It had a smooth, fluid consistency that wasn’t too thick or too thin, so it applied evenly to my nail and felt easy to control along the edges. Per the brand, it has its maximum coverage in two to three coats. In the swatches, I’ve applied two coats using Deborah Lipmann Gel Lab Pro base and top coats, which was sufficient for full coverage. I wore this shade for 10 days and had minor tip wear and no chips. FURTHER READING : Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).
