Lisa Eldridge 💄 #2

[NotDumbNotBlonde]

I lost self control and ordered the 3 that were used on me at the pop-up (1, 3 & 5) plus the brush. I will use powder, although the MUA didn't, and this will matte it down a bit. I'm very self conscious about how long it takes for red marks to go away from even the smallest breakout, more so than my actual undereye circles because as I said, my glasses mostly hide those. I got flustered and forgot to use my points to get a discount and had to quickly cancel and re-order Lisa's CS is always excellent and they were very understanding and kind.

Sometimes the email to emeralds has had the yotube video embedded in it so you aren't buying blind. The velatura or whatever they are called balms had the video so you could see begore you buy. I don't think I've received an email though and I've bought it already so

Haha me too!

I have the liquid highlighter and the new balm
They are very similar. If you have one you probably don't need the other.

Crystal nebula top, butterfly light bottom. You have no idea how many takes it took to try to get these to show up correctly (or at all) in my current lighting!

Thank you so so much! It looks lovely but I have crystal nebula and your swatches absolutely confirm that I do not need the balm as well.

Oh yes! I posted that in bright sunlight so couldn’t really see the photo properly.

I hope Lisa is working on a refillable compact that is as gorgeous as her rouge experience tube.

LE's CS team are awesome. It's the same on the jewels side too; I ordered some custom pieces and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating.

I’m really surprised that’s the packaging she’s gone for. Usually Lisa’s products are more elevated in design than this. To me it feels a bit like a cheap cash grab but I get this will be an unpopular view haha

I'm underwhelmed and won't be buying anything, but then again I don't wear highlighter or glow products (my skin is on the oily side) or bright lipsticks, and I'm indifferent to Marilyn.

 

[Ponponpon]

Yeah looks like it's being applied with a lip brush....

This has me stumped. I'm stupidly proud of my guess for rouge experience "Lisa loves a lipstick case" but no idea now!

And when we guessed the lip and cheek tint being like the merit domes I did say i wouldn't be in a hurry to buy them as I have 5 of the merit ones, and I now have four of Lisa's as well so I'm perhaps not the person to comment

Oh I'm a magpie, I'll buy whatever Lisa releases regardless. LisaMagpiesUnite!

I saw this on Reddit, surely she can’t be 60!

Kitten Flick liner in black is on sale for £7.50 at ourconceptbeauty for treat Thursday today

 

[Sideeye70]

I've ordered Spinel, the picture of the older model wearing it sold it to me.

The older model sells everything to me!

Used the Velatura yesterday for the first time and I love it - this might be my favourite product so far. It's subtle, but somehow with just a few swipes on lips and cheeks it made me look fresh and healthy. Have to resist more colours now!

 

[Not Your Kind of Person]

I’ve not heard of this store before, how are they able to put on such low sales, are they from excess stock?

Me neither, but their Trustpilot review is really good, so I gave them a shot as I've been wanting to try the Kitten Flick for a while.

Mines come and I've tried it. As I mentioned previously, I ordered 5 as a corrector and 6 as a concealer. It's incredibly lightweight; I can't feel it at all which I'm astounded by. The 5 for me covers most dark circles but not all, but mine are bad and perhaps I need another layer or a thicker application. Both the 5 and 6 work so well on me (I'm a 7 in the foundation). Some did settle in fine lines, but I buffed it out with a brush very easily.

The brush is excellent, however I would warn you it's not as dense as it looks. Now that works perfectly for me, and I think for the thinner skin under the eyes, but if you're looking for the denseness of a brush like her foundation brush, this isn't it.

As for the olive, I like it. The box is olive too, and the brush box is a deep aubergine colour. Like others I expected gold as that's been her brand but I'm not against it. Olive is a fashionable colour of late, so it makes sense she's wanting to change things up.

For those who have bought more than 1, the numbers are on the bottom so you'd have to remember which number is the corrector. And either I'm old, or the numbers are small. This is very picky of me, and the shades look different enough side by side to tell which is which. However, I thought it worth mentioning in case of anyone who is perhaps a little tired in the morning or those who are short/long sighted (I can never remember the difference).

Interestingly, in using this I have noticed bags under my eyes. Now I may have had them before and just not noticed, or it may be down to some weight I've lost in the last few months. I understand why it's luminous, however I will always mattify this product with powder when using it under my eyes as a result.

In short - for anyone on the fence, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

Mine came this afternoon and I've already decided to write the numbers on the side in magic marker because I'm longsighted, I do my makeup without my glasses on in a 10x magnifying mirror. And in the UK winter, esp under artificial lighting colours can look off.

I forgot to say, I was given this useful card at the pop-up which might interest other olives. I'm pale (2.5 foundation, 1.5 tint) but prefer Blush Lightly which the MUA chose for me on Sunday, to Enchantment which I do own but looks a bit in your face bright on me. Painterly is kind of MLBB, that I reach for when I want to look finished and not have dry feeling lips. Duchess is stunning but I have to be feeling really brave or wanting to make a certain impression. Epanoui (as in the Liberty ad with HBC) is pretty enough, I was given it as a freeby at another event but prob wouldn't have bought it, a bit shiny for my liking but more than that I find the taste really intrusive.

I hope she is working on the most beautiful refillable compact. She nailed it with the lipstick case, it’s beautiful, weighty and so elegant

I have lots of hospital appointments coming up and I think I might get something from Miss Eldridge. Does the Velatura balm dry down or does it leave a sticky residue? Will my hair stick to it?

It doesn't stick. I wouldn't say it drives down either, it's more of a thing cream blush.

Hope the appointments go well.

 

[NotDumbNotBlonde]

This is a really detailed review ahead of the launch this week. It's good to know it's not suitable for spot coverage, but that's to be expected if luminous I guess, but I was hoping for a matte finish.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

He kept using the word "Juicy" which he said is how Lisa described it - it's definitely not matte. I also prefer a matte finish, I've never been one for any kind of glow. I think anything light-reflecting tends to draw attention to texture and the 3-D nature of spots.

 

[Sideeye70]

Has anyone been using the new blush sticks? What's the verdict?

Gorgeous. I've used it every day on my cheeks since I got it, and I've just ordered one for my daughter while I decide what other shade(s) to buy! It's so easy to use and although I don't usually suit a shiny, 'glowy' look this is just the perfect amount of sheen.

Found on Reddit.

 

[50sGirl]

Not for me I’m afraid.
I like the look of the balms but my Pink Moon highlighter is my least used LE product so I know I won’t use it enough to justify buying it.

Didn’t study beyond GCSEs and according to Wikipedia she can’t always read out loud, but yeah let’s give her a spot on the shelves

Spoiler: New stuff

the spinel nude looks right up my street! The eyeshadow sticks do look a lot like Laura mercier caviar eye sticks.
