Strange Hybrid for B of C

Have any of you ladies tried any of the items from the Strange Hybrid collection? If so, what and how does it work for your skintone?

I bought some items from the collection and I must say it's really nice. I got Moonflower e/s, Jardin Aires Pigment, Showflower Quad, First Bloom l/g, Hothouse l/g, Prize Petal l/g, Orchidazzle l/s and Strange & Exotic l/s.

I wasn't too keen on some of the eyeshadows. Especially Floral Fantasy. No matter how much of the product I tried to swatch on my hand it wouldn't show. Maybe I was having a bad day

I was really looking forward to that eyeshadow so it was shame. Fertile is quite nice but I already have Nocturnelle and I can always make a similar colour to Fertile by using that. Moonflower is a lovely blue so I did buy that.

The lipsticks are lovely. When I first saw them I thought there is no way I can pull off wearing colours like that. However I thought wrong

Strange & Exotic would look great on our skin tones. The same goes for Orchidazzle. They both come out sheer and very pretty.

The lipglasses are gorgeous too. Hothouse is my favourite.

Pigments are pretty but I only ended up getting Jardin Aires. Provence hardly showed up on my skin and it only left gold shimmer sparkles so I didn't see the point of buying of it.

Blushes....well I think they are way too light for our skin tone but others may like them.

Other than that I'm enjoying what I bought. Like everyone else I'm now saving up for C-Shock

I purchased Mousse slimshine, Moonflower e/s, Showflower Quad, First Bloom l/g, and it's very pretty on.

I really hated this collection. I was so diapointed in the e/s. I liked moonflower but when I wear blue shadow I like a bolder blue. I am in love with belle azzure,contrast, and deep truth. I have seen moonflower in a covergirl quad before. IMO fertile was the stand out. I already have entremauve pig so I passed. I really liked the first bloom with a light hand. The blushes were a def no go cause they are too frosty. I cant wait of the next collection and I saved my B2M for c-shock. Oh and another white gold shadow if you missed the last 5 they put out. I would pass on this collection. The slimshines had some great neutrals and cause mac stinks when it comes to a basic medium brown.

I picked up the Fertile e/s and the Propagate Lipstick. I like them both a lot. I'm NC50, black hair, dark brown eyes. Propagate is nice. I would describe it as a peachy nude on me.

I bought Jardin Aires from this collection. I am a NC 25. Doesn't look good when I blend it with other colors for some reason. SO I wear it bare with Rich Ground fluidline.

Hothouse

Flowerplay
Prize Petal(Don't know why, may go back)

Hothouse is my new love and it makes the Flowerplay wearable. I really wanted to like Petalpoint because I love blush but, too light.

I got Jardin Aires, which I thought was Melon in disguise. Fortunately, it is not!

I am not feeling the rest of the collection.

I like the collection - Rose Blanc is a pretty version of Nylon, both of which I just got today, now I have to return Nylon...

I tried on Moonflower, Orchidazzle and Fertile. Well, I ended up with just Fertile through a CP/Swap on MUA. I like it, and it's a VP, my favorite finish!

I picked up Ultra-Elegant slimshine also, it's a pretty nude color for me =)

NW45 here. I picked up Moonflower and Fertile and they are just beautiful on. I've been wearing them every day since I bought them. I might even pick up another Moonflower just so I have a backup. I'll have to swatch them when I get the time.

I tried on the Hothouse lipglass as well and that was amazing! Next pay it is mine

I am a NC40 and I wear Seedling and Fertile together. It looks great with Jardin Aires!
