Stopped by Nordstrom’s tonight to get you lovelies Colour Forms swatches! 🙂 I believe they just brought testers out today (that’s what my Nordstrom’s said; and they were still bagged up) so that you can play with them and do pre-sales. I’ll do a review later (possibly later tonight, maybe tomorrow morning) of what I saw, as well! But for now, enjoy these swatches!
See the rest…

DAMN IT i dont have a nordstrom anywhere near me! that fresh and fun is absolutely GORGEOUS what are all of these things lol i wants them!
You can always call a Nordstrom’s and have them ship it to you, Sara!
D: Do I forsee a CP for these??..Chances are YES. Damn you MAC!!
LOL, Fie! I really like Fresh & Fun lipstick, but gah, hate lip palettes.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm….. some gorgeous colours!
I loved some of the colors myself 🙂
omggggggggggggggggggg yum!! thank you so much!!
No prob, Lala!
From this I’m like rustic, deep deposit, royal flush, tea time and maybe dark influence. This is a good thing, cause my wallet could use a break.
LOL, Arness! 😉 So true.
The lip colours look so pretty!!! 😀 Christine, I love you :p
lol, love ya, too, Stacey 😉
Rah! Thanks for the early swatches 🙂 For once, I was pretty right on about the things I would ike 🙂
No problem, Ariele 🙂 Yay!
So are the Colour Forms powders like the 1st pics that were leaked or the 2nd ones w/the stickers?
Second one!
Boo! I liked the way the 1st ones were, but oh well I’ll still buy them anyways. lol
lol! The other design would have been better for those who wanted to use targeted colors.
I thought I could safely pass on this Collection, but….
that doesn´t seem to happen for me these days, there´s something of everything I need to have!
lol, Nell! What do you want from this launch?
Tea-Time pigment and Naked to the Core l/s look very tempting, and I´m also thinking about the warm e/s palette, although I´m somewhat underwhelmed by the palettes in general. Maybe also Suncentered…
See, there is so much Temptation and not enough money!
I am underwhelmed by the palettes, too, Nell. As per usual, there is at least one or two colors that catch my eye, but nothing that makes me have to buy it.
i have a quick question, in the last two pictures with the rose go around, pop circle, naked to the core, inner hue, postive charge, dark influence, rose bouillon, deep deposit, quick flash, and female. where are those from? i didnt see it on the colour forms description?
They’re in the Colour Forms Collection, Tanya! They are listed 🙂
haha wow, yeah nevermind that, totally didnt see it was in another post description! i feel so dumb now! haha totally forgot about the highlighters!
lol, it’s okay!! 🙂
Now I cant wait 🙂
I wish you some patience, Julie 🙂
Oh thank you cause I need it soooooo much!!!
No problem!
They look so pretty I have been saving my Nordies gift card just for it cant wait!!!!!!!!
Oh, good call, Julie!
Thanks Christine! From these swatches I definitely want the e/s palettes, Colour Form powders and the 4 lippies! Oh and possibly the basic and advanced brushes too 😛
Hehehe…my birthday (and payday!) is a couple of days before this blessed event! Yay me!!
Btw, are the Richmetal Highlighters cream based? I’ve never bought them before…and can they be used as e/s base? Thanks again!
No problem! I think I’ll end up passing on the eyeshadow palettes, actually! I will definitely get Suncentered, though!
They are cream based, but I don’t know how they’ll work out — because they are definitely different from the richmetal highlighters that came out with Couture and Stylistics.
Hmmm after reading your review on this collection, I think I’ll just get the e/s palettes and *maybe* the Colour Form powders 🙂
Thanks for the review!
Sure thing, Meta! I think you have to grab at least one of the Colour Form powders!
yay finally i can get a back up of steel blue pigment i love it sooo much yay yay and i probably get the other pigments too
Aww!! I’m so surprised to find a Steel Blue fan! Most people hate that color.
waiiiit these aren’t released yet right? Because I only have like 50 bucks saved up in my makeup bank for this.. July 18th right? @ least I hope.
LOL, not yet, Jess! You can just preorder for now.
In regards to Fie’s comment…what is a cp?
A Custom Purchase, someone living i the US picks up things for you in store or online and sends them to you.
It’s when you have someone else purchase items for you, then you reimburse them for what they paid (including tax) and then pay for shipping costs so they can send you the items, too.
Thanks so much for this–I don’t have a Nordstrom’s so no in store preview, but at least your swatches let me know what to save for. I just did a HUGE F & F haul, so it’s not like I really need anything else, though…
No problem, Laney! When do we REALLY need anything else, though? ‘Cause I know that hasn’t stopped me yet!!
wow the colors look great. thanks for the swatches.
No problem, Victoria! 🙂
That Suncentered looks gorgeous. I was hoping to skip on this after the damage I inflicted on my Checking account with Neo-SciFi and Cool Heat.
I will have to visit my Nordies soon.
lol! Suncentered is going to be a staple for me, I know it!
What is the best base to use for Pigments. I have been using paint pots but I am not quite sure if that is the best base for them to make them last longer.
I use mixing medium with them and then they’re the base, actually!
Besides the 4 pigments I don’t already have I’m not sure anything else is catching my eye, but of course once I see it in person that might be a different story. I could use a break though, since everything has caught my eye lately, lol. Oh suncentered looks promising too! Thanks as always 🙂
I imagine I’ll end up with the new pigments myself, lol!
this will be launched on june 18 or july 18?
July 18th from what I know, Linsay!
I went yesterday to preorder and they told me I could pick it up on the 15th since I preordered. Also…shh…they had the Electroflash in a drawer. The MA asked me if I wanted to preorder and I said yes. Then she paused and said “Do you want to take the Electroflash home today?” Hee Hee!!! I have three shadows, a lipstick and a lipgloss!!
Ohh, you lucky duck, Judy!
How does gilded green look in person? Wondering if I really need it. Royal flush is what I really want.
It’s pretty, it does seem a little like Night Light pigment maybe…
