Thsat gel liner…
Ha ha I think the promo pics are cheezy, but the makeup looks basic & wearble.
I think it is a cute concept. I’m really interested in the pencils!
If they’re long-wearing, I think the new eye pencils will be a hit!
I want the gel eyeliner and the eyeshadows!
The jacket is cute. *shrugs*
haha I agree :)_
I think the promo pics are clever! This line looks like a mix of colors that would be great for a day to night look. I can so see some of them looking sophisticated during the day but great for dark eye makeup at night. Awesome!
We’ll see about this one – it may not be anymore than being very similar to things I already own.
I like the promo pic! Nice.
Pink Coral pencil YAYYAYYAY!
I hope the creamy eye pencils are perm since BB discontinued the old ones.
ARGG, Khaki/olive greens are my weakness!
Really looking forward to the gel liner. I too hope it will be permanent since so many of my favorites (Sapphire Shimmer, *sniff*) were d/c’d.
I started getting into BB less than a year ago, and have loved every collection since that first Shimmering Nudes palette. This one looks like it won’t disappoint either! And the promo pic is adorable!
I like the idea! I think it’s pretty cute and different. I want to check out the lip crayons & the green eye pencil.
Ooohh I love greens 😀
I think the only reason why I’ll be buying this is because it’s called the Ivy League Collection and it reminds me so much of Gossip Girl.Lol.
Yesss… I love BB and I love green. Sad that they discountinued Ivy Shimmer Ink, hope the Forest Shimmer Ink is lovely too..
As far as I know the Ivy Shimmer hasn’t been discontinued. Sapphire & Bronze were the only shimmer liners that were discontinued.
Oh is it? Here in Malaysia the SA told me it will be discontinued. Weird..
One of the ladies over on MUA (from the States) got a list of things to be discontinued from her SA, and the gel eyeliners were as follows:
Gel Eyeliner Cobalt Ink
Gel Eyeliner Hunter Ink
Gel Eyeliner Bronze Shimmer Ink
Gel Eyeliner Sapphire Shimmer Ink
Gel Eyeliner Indigo Ink
Gel Eyeliner Mahogany Ink
From what I can tell, most of the discontinued colors are starting to phase out, with the popular ones like Sapphire Shimmer and Bronze Shimmer already sold out everywhere (I had to resort to eBay to get myself a back-up =/) The Ivy Shimmer is still available everywhere I’ve looked. I would seriously throw a fit if that one was discontinued too.
I think the collection is boring.. zzzz. Would not buy anything here and I love BB products.
i love green colour look
The look has a hint of early late 80’s early 90’s. Here in Southern California the style is going towards that genre, love this!
I’m kinda sad there is no special packaging for this because I know I would definitely buy it.It’s kinda sad how much I want it only because it’s called the Ivy League collection and because I’m obsessed with the Gossip Girl scene kinda deal because I go to a New England prep school.Imma loser I know.
I love the promo pic, I want this collection especially the green and brown eyeshadow!
