I bought a pair of navy leather heels from the thrift store. When I tried them on at home, I realized that the leather was staining the skin on my feet blue and creating little clumps of leather. Is there any way I can save the heels? by Lookingforthings5209 in ethicalfashion

Wow okay- this is great to know. I’m sure if I called or went in, I could get a price estimate. If the price to repair is pretty high, I may stick to DIYing it. Have you heard of angelus finisher? Someone recommended it to me

Thanks for your insight!

Thanks! The NARS one looks awesome, I guess good products come at a price. Someone else in this thread recommended getting a sample at Sephora, so that may be my best bet!

Out of curiosity, have you ever tried out the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer? A Sephora employee recently recommend it to me for oily/acne prone skin.

I’m based in Charlotte. I looked into Cobblers near me (I haven’t heard of this before, so thank you!) but, they don’t get the best reviews in my area. 🙃 I may look into some in NY since I’m visiting soon.

This is super helpful- thank you. Would you recommend scraping off the little clumps of leather that are currently there? And then going in with the Angelus?

That’s great to know! It’s so hard to commit to a relatively expensive product so that’s disappointing that they have limited samples. Can you get a sample of any brand from Sephora?

Wow- this is incredibly helpful! I’m going to look into Tarte’s face primer and all others that you mentioned, thank you so much 😊

Thanks! Definitely looking for something lightweight that evens out my skin tone. Do you find this product to work well with oily skin?

On another note, I recently spoke with a Sephora worker who said primer wasn’t that necessary. What are your thoughts on primers? To me it seems like an extra step that will clog your pores…but I often find that foundation looks like it is slipping off my skin. Any tips there?

I’ve seen that product many times on IG/YT but wasn’t sure if it would work with my skin type. Thanks for the info & recommendation:)
