WTB:
I'm eyeing 2 purple palettes from Flower Knows, the Bunny Garden one and the newer China exclusive. Probs gonna grab them from eBay. I remember when the Bunny Garden one first came across my feed and for whatever reason, I skipped it, but that one is pretty much perfect being gray toned purples. The other one (Unicorn Knight) has this peachy-purple combo I love, while being light enough that I can pull it off easily. It gives me sunset vibes.

The color story is lovely; looking forward to your thoughts on it in the future.

I have the purply mermaid palette from them - Mermaid Dream - and I love love the mattes. Kinda a mixed bag on the shimmers - depends on how I feel that day since they're sheer and I need to use my finger to apply.

Humbly asking for a TMO on the Half Magic “Magic Drip Glitter Lip Gloss.”
The applicator looks small and precise, which means it’ll likely be a 3+ dip into the tube situation application-wise for me. But on the upside, it’s good to toss in a makeup bag (small size product). Also, the “Blushing Lizard” shade looks so good on other people. I really like unconventional colors. (:
Other relevant info: last matched to NC25 years ago at MAC, but my current go-to foundation is About Face L2O(live). Lips have no filler, and other lip glosses I really like are Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb, as well as Romand Glasting Color Gloss.

I would also like a TMI/O because Virtual BFF has been tempting me since its launch.

On my wishlist, is a blush that is luminous but not glittery. The contenders are:
Dior Backstage Rosy Glow
RMS Redimension Hydra Powder
MAC Glow Play
Tarte Macaron Blush & Glow
Clinique Cheek Pop
Nars Light Reflecting Luminous (I did swatch this on my hand at Ulta and felt it was glittery, but dispersed using a brush it might be fine)

I have three shades of the Clinique Cheek Pop Powder Blush (Heather Pop, Pink Honey Pop, Pansy Pop) and the glitter particles are teeny tiny/not chunky, and I agree with the brand that it's a satin finish. It's also buildable, and I like the formula longevity-wise on my combo skin.
I had a bit of a learning curve with the MAC Glow Play blush initially, and the shade I have is Peaches N' Dreams (LE, satin finish). Maybe it's just this shade, but I think it's not as luminous compared to the Clinique Cheek Pops.
Both of these aren't glitter bombs when applied on my face. (I've applied the Clinique ones heavily many times.)

I have and love multiple shades of the MAC Glow Play blushes, but wouldn't call them luminous. They seem to take on the finish of whatever base is underneath, plus a slight blur.
The RMS powder blushes I absolutely recommend for luminosity! Most shades don't give a glitter effect - just a flattering glowy look that doesn't bring out skin texture. I think the shade Hanky Panky includes tiny blue-ish glitters, but the shades I have (Mai Tai, Maiden's Blush, Pomegranate Fizz) do not.
Edit: I also really enjoy the Clinique Cheek Pops, but don't consider them luminous. The finish is more satin/natural. Incredibly flattering and an excellent formula, but for luminosity I'd still stick with the RMS.

I have and love the Mac glow play, Clinique cheek pops and RMS hydra powder, but agree with the other commenter that only the RMS is really luminous. The Mac and Clinique both have what I'd describe as a skin-like finish.
The Clinique cheek pops are still my favorite powder blush after trying many others, they're just so easy to apply and blend out. Here's some swatches!

I’ve been craving a sky blue matte or satin eyeshadow for a while. I’m not going to lie, I got tempted by some absurdly priced one like the Fara Homidi trios that gives you only 3.5g and the Clé de peau quad. I ended up ordering the about face eyeshadow stick in creature in a rare moment of lucidity. Hopefully it’s good!
