What fullsized blushes/glows do you own? + q's

Post by Allyxx » Fri Oct 16, 2009 9:51 pm

Hi!!! :D :D

I'm still putting items in my cart (I'm rather indecisive so I've got a sample of almost everything in there) I would like to see what items the majority of SN ladies buy in full size? So....tell me what full sized blushes.glows and finishing powders do you have and or what you think may work for warmer skintones. I've looked at swatches of everything and honestly...everything looks beautiful...thats why everything is in my cart. I promised my bf I would only spend $30 on this order but my cart contents come to $120++ :o :shock: :?

Right now I have these in full sizes in my cart:
Angel Glow
Halo Glow
Heavenly Glow
Cupid Glow
Crinoline Glow

Liberty perfecting Glow
Pristine Perfecting Glow
Tempt Tryst (I dunno about this one as I'm guessing Liberty is the same)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE glows!!!! I'm a glow addict!

Now my questin is...what do you ladies think of Cherub glow and Crystal perfecting powder?

I have NC30 skintone and am worried they might be too light/pale for me and may make me loook ghastly?

Any suggestion/opinions/thoughs are highly appreicated! TIA

I hardly ever buy full sizes. But, I do have:
Foxxy
Flirt
Beach Bunny
Splendid

I am also planning to buy a f/s of Cider and Tart Light.

I may buy a f/s of Liberty if I like it. I haven't ordered a sample yet.

I am not sure how much help this will be to you since our skintones are very different. But FWIW I think the perfecting glows are a great item to have in f/s. They are great for highlighting.

You also asked about Crystal perfecting glow. I love Crystal! It's a light light pink. I was afraid it wouldn't look good on me but it seemed to work fine. I think the perfecting glows are pretty forgiving with tone.

Waaay too many. I'm cool-toned, but I have some that would definitely look better on warm-toned skin.

Babydoll
Beach Bunny (should work for everybody)
Bronze Beauty (good for warm skin)
Carnal (will work on most skin tones)
Charming
Climax (good for warm skin)
Embrace (should be good for almost everybody)
Flirt (will work for almost everyone)
Forbidden (good for warm skin)
Lady (try it - great colour and it may be plummy enough)
Petal (good on warm skin)
Pretty Plum (should be good for almost everyone)
Rich (discontinued)
Satisfied (good for warm skin)
Stardust (good for warm skin)
Tart Light (should be good for everyone)

For glows:

Angel (will work on everybody)
Cherub (wouldn't recommend this one for warm skin)
Cupid (will work on everybody)
Splendid (will work on everybody)

i have soo many samples and they last so long that i only have full sizes of two blushes/glows/bronzers:
angel glow (this is the best glow EVER. it will go with everything)
loverly cream blush

i have sampled: crinoline glow (i use it as a blush), liberty glow, climax, cosmic, galaxy, gemini, stardust, maybe baby, pretty plum, satisfied, tart light, tart, wonderful cream blush, and tahiti sweetie, bronze beauty (vegan version), cider. i would get full sizes of crinoline, cider and tart when i am out. for some reason i cannot make liberty glow work for me :?

my sister has halo glow and loves to use it as an eyeshadow--it's a little too dark for her fair skin, but on darker skin would look really great.

maybe you could get samples of halo, liberty, and tempt tryst since they are all golden and see which color and finish you like best before you buy those in full size...? i really like the perfecting powders better than the perfecting glows...i think they work better for covering up pores and even-ing out skin tone. i like to apply perfecting powder and glow separately, but that's just me!

It's also hard to go wrong with the original translucent perfecting powder - that stuff is great!

And grab a bunch of blush samples - you never know what you might find - I didn't think Embrace would suit at all, or Tart Light, and they're two of my favourite blushes. I have a bad habit of buying full sizes before samples, but I have or have had samples of most of them at some point - they're not expensive and while you don't get a lot, they're so pigmented they'll last for two weeks or more even if you used them every day.

I don't think I've even run out of my sample ones, come to think of it...
