New NYX foundation release

[carrotsmakemefat]

End of December! Looks interesting and dries in a matte finish. I wonder if this could be a good dup for that y.nique foundation I love so much.

Anyone else going to try? For under $20 I figure why not ?

Looks interesting! I'll probably wait for some reviews sto come out before trying though. I'm horrible about returning if it doesn't work for me.

[DarcyLongfellow]

Ooo -- that looks fun!! I'll probably try it.

I can never find the right shade though unless I try foundation on. I wish Ulta had samples of some of their drugstore foundations.

[Pippin]

Wow 24 shades, way to go NYX. I'll probably try this and the brush too.

[sporky]

I'm definitely interested to see if this will work for me once it comes out.

[OrangeBanana]

Yes, I will definitely be trying this! It sounds exactly like what kind of foundation I have been looking for lately but can't find the perfect shade for me. With 24 shades to choose from it sounds like I have a good shot at finding something that will work well!

[kmt]

Looks like the CoverFX drops! I'll definitely try it, it's 1/3 the price. Not that I don't love the CoverFX...

Don't they? My ulta nyx display is usually covered with messy samples. I've never noticed if the foundation has testers though.

There is hope! Testing first would be awesome

Really?? The one close to me doesn't, but I'll check out the bigger one next time I'm near there. It's usually a hot mess, so a messy sample covered NYX display would fit right in :-)

Now I'm wondering if people just open products willy nilly or something. I almost always shop online, so it's been a while since I was in the store

[sporky]

My local Ulta doesn't have any non-prestige testers either. I wish they did- it'd be super helpful!

[bowies]

My Ulta has samplers for most drugstore brand products. I don't think the smaller brands like Rimmel and Milani do it. They're in pull out trays under the display. I would never had known if a sales associate hadn't pointed it out.

[gilmoregirl]

I am totally going to try this. I have that other foundation but if I can get some similar for cheaper.. win!

[Deleted]

Hmmm... I may have to try this.

You and me both. That other foundation is EXPENSIVE. LOL

Save

FYI: My Ulta had a small display of this available at the check out counter.

I'll definitely give this a try. The Mlm foundation looks flawless on me for the first hour or two, but after about 3-4 it has completely melted off my oily face. Hopefully this one wears better for me, but honest for $15 I don't really care if it ends up being a miss.

Mine did too today. Of course they didn't have all the colors and the ones they had were no where near my shade but it felt great on my hand. Not to thick but good coverage.

I'm dying to try these. We're they for sale or just tester sizes? I notice the release date is December 28. I'll call my Ulta to see if/when they'll be getting these in.

[notasafeplace]

They had this on an end cap at my Ulta yesterday! Along with some beautiful duo chromatic illuminating powders.

Also, NYX was buy one get one half off. I passed on the foundation because I was already buying the It Cosmetics CC cream but I think I'm going to go back and get it.

bumping this to see if anyone has tried it yet?
It gets mixed reviews, from what I've seen.

A few reviews I've read mention the fact that it's a pretty small amount (less than .5oz) for the price. Cheaper in comparison to prestige brands, but still around $30 an ounce, which is a bit high for NYX, I think.

I'm almost out of my Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation. And while I like it, I'm trying to find something cheaper since we are tightening up our budget and saving for a new house this year.

I've tried both the Maybelline Fit Me and L'oreal INFALLIBLE in my search for a drugstore brand foundation and while I liked both, neither wowed me.

[gilmoregirl]

@newgirlnic I have tried it. I got it a couple of weeks ago and have used it a few times. I was surprised the bottle is so small but I like it so far. I don't think I'm wowed by it yet though. I haven't decided if I will repurchase. I am using it as my off day foundation - running to store, etc.

I will say the coverage is really buildable which is nice.

I have the Tarte and Younique foundation. The Tarte is pretty good and I also really like the Younique. Sorry I don't have much more an opinion to give you but for me I have to use it for a bit longer before I really know if I'll repurchase. Especially during the warmer months, that's when I really put my foundation to the test.

[DarcyLongfellow]

NewGirlNic -- I've tried it. I'm not a fan. I was hoping it would be like the Cover FX drops, but it's basically just regular foundation that comes in a bottle with a dropper.

I haven't been able to give it a full test because the color I got is too light, and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to it.

The amount you get really is tiny, and you have to use a lot because it's very watery. I wore it maybe 3 times, and the level of the product in the bottle is noticeably lower. (For comparison I have a Maybelline Fit bottle that I've used off and on for a year, and it's still almost full).

I wasn't impressed, though, with the coverage or longevity.

[spindle92]

I really wanted to like this but was very disappointed in the colors. They had a few colors at my local Ulta but none that would work for me. So I went to the actual NYX store at the MOA and even with mixing colors I could not get a good shade to match. So I am sticking with my Revlon color stay for now.

Depending on how much coverage you want, you might try Maybelline Dream BB cream. persa recommended it, and I've been delighted with it. With a primer it really gets the job done.

[bowies]

I also bought this and wasn't impressed. Super watery and I didn't like how it spread on my skin, even with primer. It goes matte instantaneously.

I'll use up the bottle because that's how I roll but I'll likely only use it if I'm WFH.

I actually like the drops. I mix 3-5 drops with my moisturizer (current fave: Dr Jart Water Drop) and it's perfect. I've gotten so many compliments on my makeup since I started using it. I still love my CoverFX drops but these are a good dupe. My Sephora girl taught me to use the drops with moisturizer so that's the only way I've ever worn it.

[carrotsmakemefat]

I still haven't tried this! But I will once I get my birthday coupon in the mail for ulta ! I don't know that I've even seen it in my store...maybe I need to look harder

I may have to try this with my sunscreen.  It gets so hot that I really don't want to put another layer on top but most days I want a bit of coverage.  At that price I can get multiple shades so I can adjust it better during the summer.
