i was really looking forward to just a pinch but now i dont think im impressed...im saddened i wanted a "gel blush" lol my fiance sure wont be sad im looking at these swatches trying to narrow my list down...lol i wont be able to make it to Nordstrom because im about to go into the hospital to have my first baby =) but my fiance will and i have kinda overspent this month...im plannin on virgin kiss, steal my heart, & magnetique l/g et to bouquet e/s & silverthorn sounds appealing =/ circa plum & mutiny pigment tender tryst see thru lip colour i hate how it all adds up so quickly...lol i cant wait to get back to work so i can spend my own money on make up and not have people thinking i need intervention because i cant spend less than $150 a collection lol
does anyone think that steal my heart and virgin kiss lipglasses look like the lipglasses from the fafi collection. which i still have. i'm torn between buying all lipglaases? i still have magnetique also. waiting for the finishes on lipsticks, the look like lustre and luke dupes of perm colors. thanks
Virgin Kiss might look like one of them, but none of them struck me as Fafi dupes right off the bat!
Wow, this collection is amazing! Thank you for showing these swatches. It looks like the perfect collection for me, the colours are so lovely! Does this beauty powder show up on the cheeks? Is it more pigmented than the pink powder from the HK-collection?
No problem, Julia! Yes, it's more pigmented than the beauty powders from HK, but they're not super pigmented like a regular blush.
oooo...A rose romance, way to love, of summer, and summer rose are speaking to me! Esp. the lipsticks!
Oh wait! I almost forgot to ask - would you say that Et tu Bouquet is somewhat similar to Shimmertime pigment? It looks similar to me in the photo but maybe it's just me!
I know I am not the only one, but I am dancing about in anticipation to read your reviews of the collection! Right now my wishlist pretty much includes the entire collection and I gotta narrow it down, your reviews are always so helpful so I can't wait!
I'm so in love with this collection. Hope it will come out in Germany as well (not sure yet) :-( I need both eyeshadows and the lipsticks. Just a hint of colour.
I definitely like the lipsticks as they seem to be perfect for summer. Does anyone know if these are definitely lustres? That's my guess. I like Magnetique as well. Is it me or does Circa Plum look just like Mauvement pigment & Mutiny looks just like Aire de Blue pigment? Maybe its just the pic & i am not seeing the key difference, but i have Mauvement & Aire de Blue so may pass on these new ones.
I'm not sure. They do feel like lstures, though! Circa Plum isn't quite as dark as Mauvement -- it's a little grayer, maybe ;) Mutiny is brighter and has a totallyyy different texture than Aire de Blu!
Is it just me, or does et tu boquet look really bad swatched? I saw a picture of it swatched on specktra and it looked better. Going to have to see that one in my store. So I deff want Rose Romance and Steal my Heart. Kind of weary about et tu boquet, and i still need a swatch of blush of youth. keep us posted. (:
It looks accurate to me -- I'm always cross referencing swatches in real life to the photo I'm cropping/editing so I can try to make it look accurate. It may swatch differently based on skin tones, though, which I can't help, LOL! If I could change my skin tone for swatches, I so would!
way to love reminds me of utter pervette. beautiful collection. I like alot of stuff, probably because my name is Rose Lol. But i will probably skip this collection because nothing is really screaming BUY ME.
Awww :) Then THIS is your collection, lol. You gotta get like... A Rose Romance lipstick, at least, for your namesake!
Can't wait! Steal my heart, Way to love, eyeshadows, see thrus... It really is my birthday next week!
Aww, the lipsticks and glosses look really sheer except for Magnetique which will probably be too cool-toned for me. ;_; I'm definitely interested in the c-thru stains though.
Yeah, the other two lipglasses aren't fantastic, IMO, but Magnetique is a total must-have. Really ;)
Magnetique is gorg!! <3 I must have that and a blush! Thank goodness nothing else screams MUST HAVE. :] My pocketbook is excited.
