That's why I ordered it too.. I wanted the one with the most drastic transition. I'm supposed to get it in a few days! I think it's going to be great for an every day nude manicure for work, while still showing some color outdoors! I'll also try it as a summer pedicure!
Right now I have my finger nails painted with Poppy (2 coats of poppy + clear top coat). I feel like you really have to add a top coat, otherwise the polish appears really matte (similar to Andrea's choice polish we got in Ipsy a few months ago). Overall I really like it, I just wish the shades were the opposite (bright pink outdoors and burgundy-purple indoors) since I spend 99% of my day indoors and I like the purple shade more, but it's ok. I also wish it was more long lasting... next time I will try adding 2 coats of top coat to see if it has better staying power, as it doesn't affect the color change. I'll also try adding a glitter top coat on an accent nail.. thanks for the idea!
I noticed that too... At first I thought they left it out until I pulled back the tissue.
I guess I could buy a sharpener it would fit in instead, but this seems like the more cost effective way for me personally (I rarely wear eyeliner, and when I do it is even more rarely that I wear pencil eyeliner).
When you sharpen a pencil, you lose some of the product. By depotting you don't lose all that extra product that you would have shaved off with the sharpener.

Yeah, same thing happened to me. The rep was super sweet and said they'd either send me a new box (no guarantees which one) and if they couldn't then they'd give me point (not sure how many). My Caudalie was pretty much empty (just a teeny tiny little squirt that just covered the very bottom of the bottle) and I didn't get the wipes. But if I get a whole new box I'd be happy. I am hoping for the youngblood and the nail polish.

I LOVED how mattifying the Supergoop CC cream was! I honestly wasn't expecting that as one of the benefits, but I was so happy about it. I have VERY oily skin, and can't find any products that stop the shine, and I usually blot many times a day. This controlled it all day long. Like you I only blotted once, basically just to see what I would be picking up from my skin, and it wasn't that much. I just kept touching my forehead all day thinking... so THIS is what it's like to have normal skin?Originally Posted by lexxies22 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I agree! Speaking of that having that creases/fine lines at the end of the day, I had that exact problem. I tried so many different ways to compact that until I received that SuperGoop CC cream which I've never tried CC cream before. Lo and behold! It took care of the problem! It stayed matte and oil free thru the day and night! I just blotted once and that's it! I also tried the MY Mattifying Moisturizer/Primer (my sister gave it to me because she didn't like the feel of it). It felt a little heavy at first (thinking maybe using kabuck (spell?) brush will take care of it to spread evenly and it kept matte face 24 hrs! I also take vitamin E 400 IU once a day that takes of skin hydration and Folic Acid vitamin as well. Preferrably from Whole Foods.
This is probably the first product I've sampled that I immediately went: OH MY GOD I MUST HAVE THIS NOOOOOOOOW. hehe
Same here! I really liked it too when I tried it...I'll use it a few more times to make sure but I think I will be buying it!Originally Posted by sabinebyrne /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I received an incomplete *wrong* box! The item I was missing was the one item that the box I was supposed to get and the box I actually received should have had in common if I had received a complete box. Well, okay, I think that was earbud month, so they both had those, but as far as *product* goes, the overlap item was missing. To make it even weirder, that item was a stila lip glaze, and I actually received the cap with no glaze pen part! It was really weird. They ended up sending me a replacement box with all of the correct items per the listing on my account in it, which was fantastic because I did *not* like the box I originally received (including Larabar, Oscar de la Renta fragrance, something to prevent fading of color-treated hair. I don't have color-treated hair) but loved the one on my account (boscia blotting linens, Juliette Has a Gun fragrance, hair masque, among other things). There was at least one month when I received two of something I can't recall. A tube of moisturizer, maybe? But my boxes are pretty solidly correct.

I tried using it as a primer instead, and it just wasn't working. My face felt like it was suffocating and like I had a mud mask on; never felt it like that before. I put on the CC cream, put on my foundation, even did blush etc. and left the bathroom. Went running back 10 minutes later to scrub my face off and start over.
And it stank.
I can't believe it's $40!
Woah that's super shitty :S Good thing I didn't get that

I don't know if this is some kind of placebo effect but my eyes felt a lot better shortly thereafter! This is definitely something worth investing in, imo.
Well the only way you can figure out if it's placebo effect is before and after pictures, I'd say try it another day you are tired and take pictures XD That way you know for sure /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I really liked the supergoop eye cream. I had it on and did a quick treadmill workout and I didn't run into my eyes or sting at all. It would be great for outdoor running.

I get the point you're making, but actually when it comes to facial oils a combo skin can use them ( I have combo skin and I have used facial oils and they don't make me oilier if applied correctly)

Nice, also now all the product that you sharpen will not go to waste /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
