I've never felt the need for these powders but this tempts me. Do you think this is a good deal for me?
ReplyDeleteI played around with them at SpaceNK the other day-- and the lovely SA said not to spend my money on the singles, but to wait and get this trio instead-- she said it was a much better deal and more versatile. I think it is a good deal in general, but only a good deal for you if you are sure you will use them. If I were you, I would swatch these three colors individually at Sephora (it seems as though the Incandescent in this palette may differ from the regular one though) and if you feel the pull and think you would wear them-- then grab this LE palette. If you don't feel the pull, or only think that you would only use one or two- then I would pass. She put Ethereal and Luminous on my skin, and they looked pretty nice on the skin, but neither is in this palette.
DeleteThanks. I wasn't that attracted to them at first so I think I'll pass. I still love my It Cosmetics highlighters so I'll stick with those.
DeleteThen I would definitely pass and stick with what you have and love. I still haven't tried anything from It Cosmetics, if you can believe that!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI'm trying to figure out if I should take the plunge on this. I have (and love) Dim, but I worry that Radiant is too dark. I wish they'd used Luminous instead. Incandescent is unique to this palette as far as I know. And of course that's the one I really want...
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
DeleteI suspect that Radiant will work well as a bronzer (used with a light hand). I actually wish they had chosen Luminous instead as well-- because I know that I can use it. I suspect that you could tone down Radiant with a wash of dim-- but I sense that you might want to swatch it first. I hadn't even realized that Incandescent was unique to this palette. I wonder if this is a trial run before introducing it as a single, or if this is the perfect marketing strategy to get everyone to buy this palette?! If you are only on the fence about Radiant- then it might be a sensible splurge for you. Hopefully you will be able to see it and swatch it first. If I see it in person- I will definitely swatch it for you! Enjoy your Sunday! :-)
Do you know how much product is in this palette? Is it slightly less than the full sized powders or much smaller?
ReplyDeleteHi H Dhal, I wish that I knew-- I can't find that information anywhere. If I find out- I will let you know. :-)
DeleteAlright, thanks for the quick reply! :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure-- I just wish that I had the answer now! :-)
