I'm just gonna put this out there and ya'll can say "man... Jess is really dumb!" But I ... I don't think I understand -- what do you do with the Hourglass ambient lighting stuff?? Like it's it setting powder? High lighter? I don't get it? (Runs away in shame)

I think that certain colors are intended for the full face, but some of the colors can be used as a bronzer, while others are used as highlighters. Anyway, that's just what I understand about them.... I am most curious about ethereal light (highlighter) and mood light (full face).

  i've owned both - in the end i traded the guerlain for ambient lighting powder - possibly the guerlain was the wrong color for me, not sure - i didn't feel like it did much for me.  I MUCH prefer the ambient lighting powder - and it's easier to use!
What color did you have the meteorites in?

Thank you, that's the color I am thinking of buying. I feel like buying the ALP palette is a better idea with summer coming up because even though I stay extremely pale, my freckles get dark and I feel that the meteorites would cast a white veil.

had i not already traded and gotten Dim, i'd have snatched up the palette!  I may still, bc I seem to have misplaced my Dim :/  but knowing it's perm now, i'm not as much in a rush!

I don't really understand it either but..I have it in Dim Light and I'm obsessed. It just..makes my skin look infinitely better than if I just wear foundation. Like real life photoshop. It's magic! 

Dim Light is included in the palette, but I think I'm going to buy it anyway!

I have Dim Light and I like how it doesn't look like powder. I think it's supposed to improve the look of your skin without being noticable. I wish I would have known the palette was coming out it would be nice to have 3 shades to play with. If I actually make a dent I will be looking into the palette.

I own both the palette and Dim Light.  I don't regret it for a second!  I love patting Dim Light around my nose after I place my blush; it helps eliminate the natural redness around my nose and diffuses the blush I inevitable place too close to my nose area.  I recommend the Real Techniques Powder, Blush, or Multitask brush with the ALP.  I am not a powder girl and I adore this product!

I had to cover for someone yesterday and I took pics real quick.

The only thing I am not sure of, is what the tube is in our Summerstash... I think it may be becca? but not sure.







Ooooh, I'm definitely popping in to mine!  I want that lash stash.. not like I need more mascara but for $25 for all of these and then to be able to get a full size??  I can't pass that up. I'll probably get the meet your match, too and who knows what else.. I just placed a huge nordstrom order with 10% off.. it's my birthday this weekend so I've been buying ridiculous amounts of makeup with all the sales!

I like the SiJCP sets more. I love all 5 of the mascaras in this version of lash stash.

So, I'm trying to find the Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Melted Candy. Apparently this is the Sephora exclusive shade! But I dont see it online. Anyone know if this is just in stores? Or maybe it sold out? It's so beautiful!

On a slightly diffrent product issue, I've freckles too and the Skin IQ takes an average of skin and freckles for foundation and when I put it on, I just look like I have dark splotchy face but if I go lighter then the freckles just looks strange, so I just gave up on foundation.  Now I just use the Marcuja oil to even out my skin tone as much as possible.

Yeah, I'm at the point of giving up on foundation too! Every time I go to get "color matched" they take my freckles into consideration but not my actual skin color so my foundation is never right. Unfortunately, my skin isn't flawless so I need some type of coverage but BB's and CC's are too greasy and jouer matte moisture tint is too drying. Someone help me! I need an adult.

It's worked for me!  I've tried Murad's Vitamin C mask, skin ligthening serums and a slew of alternatives, 'cause I've got some age-spots...  

I used the Maracuja because I ran out serum and read that it can be used like a serum.  About one week into it, without looking for change I was surpised to observe that my sun-spots and age-spots were noticebly faded and skin-tone more even.  I like the ease of it too, as it's not a mask so no rinsing and it's moisturizing enough for sleep if I forget to put cream on top of it.  

I think Sephora's got a code for a trial-size or get a week's worth of tester from Sephora.   I give it a thumbs up!
