Thoughts: I'm VERY excited about these new MoistureSmooth Color Stick shades. You might recall that when this line first debuted in 2013, I reviewed a few of the original shades HERE. I really liked these in terms of the formula (quite hydrating for me) but over the years, I haven't reached for them as much because of the shimmer. It LOOKS like these new Spring 2016 shades may be shimmer-free (and I see there might be some Clinique dupes here? Even Black Honey, perhaps?). I will definitely pick some up and confirm for you down the road if they really are shimmer-free. Fingers crossed!
Thanks again, @meeshell448, for the great tip!
Awesome! I had the same issues with the original color sticks- so much glitter! Can't wait to see your review on these!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley! Will post some swatches as soon as I buy some! xo
DeleteI picked up several of these new shades and I'm thrilled to report that they're shimmer-free!! I was so excited!
ReplyDeleteYESSS!! Oh Annie, I wish I could hug you right now!! Thank you SO much for the great news! I feel a serious haul coming on! :) xo
DeleteWhere did you buy it?
DeleteAre the MoistureSmooth Color Sticks going to be exlusive to Ulta?? There is no Ulta store in NYC where I live, and I'd rather not buy online since I did not have a good experience with them. Would rather buy at Harmon's or any drugsore really.
DeleteYay! I too prefer non shimmer and have my eye on at least half of these, hope someone had a sale soon!
DeleteHow exciting that Neutrogena is starting to include some deeper shades! :-)
ReplyDeleteNeutogena is pretty much off my drugstore radar as well as Almay. I suppose that is how I missed the original pencils. I am going to look for the originals now as I love glitter and shimmer. I hope everyone finds these new shades and that they are creamy and hydrating!
