Geesh, I forgot to swatch Poppy with them

Coral Nymph is a peach, Poppy is more of a pink based coral

Winthrop - I no longer have the box for the loose powder, so I cannot check the ingredients that way, my apologies. However, bismuth makes my skin itch terribly so I don't think it contains it. Will try and find the ingredients for you.

Thanks Winthrop - they've been on the site for awhile, but always with a backorder date. When I spoke with the counter manager at the San Jose mall, he told me they were due this summer.....but I just checked and they're in!! YAY! Thanks!

Did you get to check out these brushes yet Cheryl?

I ended up ordering the pressed 'Visage de Soie' Finishing Powder and it came today. No bismuth - yay! In fact the ingredients look fantastic as far as what my skin can tolerate. The shade (01) looks beautiful in the pan too. Haven't played with it yet but I think I'll really like it.

I would like to try out the eyeshadows from this brand!

Hi Winthrop - I ordered the crease brush - it hasn't come yet - but I'm looking forward to it! It's a good thing this brand doesn't launch stuff very often!!

The LMdB Moisture Stain lipsticks are AMAZING!! Almost like a ls stain version of LM balms that we all so love. Yep! I just got NM Kens corals ls & np. They are both Gorgeous! I must say that this line continues to really really impress me both in quality & color.

The moisture stain ls has a smooth velvety light feeling. It stains the lips in a fabulous way. It wears & wears & did not come off at all on my coffee cup.

The np has this almost gel soft feeling, the application is simply flawless unlike any other np I've used. Its fast drying & the color is beautiful. I need more of both of these

uh oh

Her name escapes me right now, but she has posted so many new beautiful swatches in the LMdB swatch thread!

I want to venture into lmdb eye shadows. I have been hearing how great they are. I'm thinking between getting the Penelope eye shadow set or just getting Jojo and Goldstone. I'm a NC30-35 skin tone. Can I ask for your opinions, would the Penelope eye shadow colour suit asian skin tone?

 

[Shypo]

mjacqueline, I think the colors in Penelope would suit ANY skintone! The kaleidoscopes are a great way to get started with the line - they're a good value. I have quite a few of the eye shadows, and have ventured into colors that I wouldn't ordinarily wear - and they are just stunning! I have Jojo (one of my faves) but do not have Goldstone.....Jojo is a really pretty neutral taupe that has beautiful dimension. Well, all of their colors have beautiful dimension, but Jojo is one of the best!

Ken's Korals Lipstick & np

 

[Ingenue]

I need to sit my butt still for a second before I truly dive into this brand. I want to mix the Peau Vierge and one of the foundations together, because the shade ranges don't agree with me. #11 is about a full shade too dark for me... but #10 is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too light. So is Peau Vierge in the darkest shade. I figure if I mix 'em... I might be able to do something.

For now, I have a custom palette and a lipstisk (Rio De Janiero) to play with.

Once you get hooked...................

I KNOW!!! This is so terrible. I'm gonna be homeless... damn shame.

 

[mjacqueline]

Hey Shypo, I have put in a nordies order for Penelope and Coral Nymph. Can't wait to play with them.

I am also interested to try Peau Vierge but am a NC 30 shade, I know there are only two shades available, which would be a better match, the lighter or darker? Thanks ladies.

 

[Shypo]

That's great mjac! I hope you love what you get - you'll have to let us know!

I've not been able to successfully swatch the foundations, so I'm not the best to answer - but I believe Elegant and maybe Winthrop (and Katred?) have.......?

 

[mjacqueline]

I received my Penelope Eye Kit and Coral Nymph. The eye shadows are really lovely. So soft and blendable. The colours are so pretty. They are truly luxurious and worth every cent to me. Coral Nymph is another great blush. I am loving my LMDB buys.

 

[Winthrop44]

What did you end up thinking of the crease brush Shypo?

 

[Shypo]

I ended up returning it - couldn't stand it. First of all, it looked like a travel brush (the handle was about 3 inches long) and the bristles were very 'pokey' - I couldn't return that sucker fast enough!!

I just wish I could find another of my beloved Chanel #3 brush - I had gotten it last year from Izzy's, and now I wish I had gotten 2. Nordies hasn't had it for months, so it's probably been d/c'd. It's by far the best crease brush I've ever found......

mjac, I'm so glad you love your goodies!!! You must have been so excited to open that box!
