So far Glamour Check and Top Hat are the standouts for me. They look so pretty in the pot, I cannot wait to see the swatches.

Just saw the swatches that jenntoz posted...Lotusland is sooo much prettier than i anticipated!...Im definitely getting that one for sure!....Umm bold and brazen doesnt look that special to me...it looks a lot like amber lights?....not unique enough to warrant buying it...

Just got some swatches up of lotusland and bold & brazen in the swatch thread.

^^^I am so stupid, I was looking for colors to compare B&B and totally didn't think about Amber Lights, lol (cause my makeup is totally unorganized!!!) I'll look now & tell you how similar they are.

Ok, Found my Amber Lights & I forgot how it is an exact dupe(basically) for Cosmic, So I'm not going to bother taking another pic. But I'd say they are all pretty similar ...since I have them all on my arm for a few minutes, they have basically all turned into the same color

^^^ Yea I have both Cosmic and Amber Lights!...So I can safely scratch Bold and brazen off my list...Thanks!!

Thanks for the swatches Jen! IYO, are they a different finish than the regular frosts? There were rumors of a new finish, and I am just curious if these are something different than the normal frost finish shadows. I really like the looks of Lotusland

Its kind of weird cause they feel different from each other. B&B feels like a veluxe pearl & Lotusland feels more like a frost. B&B goes on so easy with one swipe & looks exactly like it does in the pot. Lotusland needs 2 or 3 swipes to duplicate the intensity it has in the pot(still gorgeous & NOT hard to work with & Not pale!!! Its just that B&B goes on so amazing, they're just a little differnet from each other in that respect)
I'm curious to hear Debbie's thoughts cause she has all the colors.

Also, I said before that B&B & cosmic/amber lights were really similar and as I just swatched them again to check the texture, B&B is way more Rust colored that the other 2(cosmic & AL being more gold) I'll be adding those pics to the swatch thread cause for some reason this time of day they look so different than earlier. Weird.

I added those two extra pics in the swatch thread, I'll post them here too
Click to enlarge!!!

Thanks for the swatches!!!

Honestly, from the looks of the swatches, I think I will be saving my money from this collection.

At first, I only wanted Grand Entrance and Bold&Brazen, but now also Smoke&Diamonds and Go look like must-haves! Oh, all that bronze and copper are so pretty to wear at autumn!Shine along with the autumn leaves!

Oh I hope so! I *might* be going to Kansas City in very early August so I could take all my empties and turn them into a bunch of pretty shadows!!

B&B is described as a light copper, so it should be rustier than cosmic- just the shade I've been longing for, a milder version of copperly! And it was so pretty next to Lotusland! Now I have to get that one too!

The perfect pinky violet!
