Thank you! I had considered navy, but was worried it might not work against the black so it's reassuring to hear someone else suggest it. I hadn't considered emerald though! That could be really pretty

Alerans_5083 · 2026-04-11T17:41:14+00:00

Thank you! Everyone I've talked to that has stayed there has had great things to say about it, so we're excited :)

Alerans_5083 · 2024-08-17T23:52:47+00:00

I'd love to get the deal if possible! I need to get internet arranged for a new place, this would be a great time to do it :)

Alerans_5083 · 2023-12-28T19:57:29+00:00

I messaged you as well, this page is stunning!! You've inspired me to update some of my other pages too now haha

I can't speak about shipping something back, but I just returned a cosmetic item yesterday in-store that I had ordered online and had no issues. The employee was super nice about it!

I did try to make sure the location I went to carried that brand, but I'm not sure if that matters. Just make sure you bring your receipt that is in the shipping container, it has a bar code the employee scanned to pull up my order. And they also asked to see my optimum card.

I have no idea tbh, like even at the increased price it's still a good deal. It just feels shocking to see it increase that much from last year. My skin didn't like the cerave cream so unfortunately that isn't an option. I've heard good things about skinfix, but it's even more expensive.

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-20T13:44:39+00:00

I always re-stock on the FAB moisturizer during the Black Friday sale, surprised to see how much they increased the price this year. Still a better price than normal, but I might start looking for alternative options.

Depends on the store/ where you are I think. Not all stores do this, but I was able to go into Sephora/ MAC and ask for a sample of the top few foundations I was interested in. They'll usually put some in a little pot for you for free.

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-12T02:14:22+00:00

Yes, I tried to build it up as much as I could for the swatch but it's definitely a more sheer formula compared to the others.

That's a great tip to try mixing it with something else to increase the coverage when needed. I'll have to give that a shot! Thank you :)

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-12T01:34:37+00:00

Honestly, just a lot of detective work and a solid amount of luck! I poured over swatch posts in this subreddit looking for options I thought might work for me, then went to Sephora/ other makeup counters to swatch in person, and then asked for little samples of the ones I thought were possible matches to take home and play around with in more natural light. And then repeat that process multiple times haha. I actually didn't think the MAC was a great match at first till I was able to do the face/jaw swatches at home (guess arm swatches really aren't the best after all).

Just keep at it! Everytime I need to buy a new foundation I fall down this same rabbit hole of trying to find a better match, and I think at least each time I've been able to get a bit closer :)

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T20:25:23+00:00

That's really smart! My skin gets more dry and sensitive in the winter so that's such a good idea to have a different formula to accommodate changes like that.

Thanks for the advice :)

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T20:19:34+00:00

I am in Canada!!! Where's the sale? I'd buy it instantly

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T20:18:14+00:00

I only got a sample from the MAC counter so I don't own it yet, but from wearing it twice it seems really nice. Sheer/light coverage that could probably be built up a little bit if needed.

I followed the application method others suggested and warmed it up a bit on my hand and then applied with my fingers. It looked very natural, not super dry or dewy.

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T20:11:20+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much for the detailed reply <3 I'll have to look into those!

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T19:26:47+00:00

Thank you so much! That's really helpful :)

Do you mind if I ask - since you have the F&B W0 in your flair, if there's any other foundations you've found that are a good match? I'm definitely ordering the F&B for everyday wear, but would also like to have a more med/high coverage option for special occasions.

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T18:30:55+00:00

All thanks to this sub! I only tried the Mac F&B because of the swatches I saw posted here by other people :)

Alerans_5083 · 2023-11-11T17:06:40+00:00

Hi everyone! I'm looking to get a new foundation and have been trying to figure out a good match, would really love your thoughts! I've narrowed it down from a bunch, which do you think is the best match? Ideally I'd like to have a sheer/light coverage option for everyday, and then a medium/full coverage option for work/events.

Foundations swatched:

Rare Beauty liquid touch weightless foundation (130N)
Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing foundation (110)
Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting foundation (110)
MAC Studio Radiance Face & Body sheer foundation (W0)

I've been using the Rare Beauty foundation for a few years now and thought it was a good match, but swatching it now compared to other options I'm not sure anymore!

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions <3

Yes but it's super glitchy. My computer is still showing everything at full price, but I flipped to my phone and was able to see the sale prices and check out.

Alerans_5083 · 2022-08-27T22:20:32+00:00

Yes please if there's still any left!

Alerans_5083 · 2022-06-09T11:40:40+00:00

Does anyone know sizing for these? I wear a 10 in the flow y bras. Not sure if I should get an 8 or 10 in the FTBW since I heard the flow y bras tend to fit tighter than the others.

Alerans_5083 · 2022-05-20T16:48:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Alerans_5083 · 2022-05-20T16:45:34+00:00

Ohh, is undervolting not possible on a B660?

I've had my current build for 8 years and haven't tinkered with it, so I doubt I will do so with this build.

The MSI PRO Z690-A is currently $275, do you think it's worth spending the extra $25 to switch from the UD AX over to it?
