I got my 2nd Golden Gaze today and I'm a bit disappointed. It has so much black in it, almost only black with just some gold veining. But it's sold out online so I guess I'll keep it.

[/quote] Mine is the exact opposite, all gold. Guess that's the problem with the Mineralize products, they are all different. Maybe I'll find more black further down.

I really hope mine has more gold underneath. But I think they're mostly the same as they look on top.

Maybe they restock the German site as well. They restocked the US one.

Will you get the new p/p? If so, the antiqued gold p/p will certainly help to bring out the gold in GG.

Yes, I want to. I wanted to get Indianwood for quite a while, but I rather wait for the new ones. They sound great, especially the antique gold one.

Don't know about restocking, I think they rarely do it here.

yay! enjoy your goodies!!
smoked ruby arrived today so my haul is complete!!! brushes, smoked ruby, dark indulgence and gem of roses... I love my products and MES are really better than the older ones... I have lovestone (I love it anyway) and the texture is not buttery at all in comparison!!

So this is my haul from this collection



My first GG looks a little weird, almost like a duo, lol. I think about giving the other one back, because it doesn't have enough gold for my liking.

The GG on the left looks good. I like the "duo" that is going on. Your RQ looks very glittery with lots of green sparkly veining. Did you want a glittery RQ?

I don't mind the glitter, it's not as bad as I expected, I don't find it gritty or anything.

I see what you mean about the "duo" thing. it looks cute though! lol
Also, I see how the other GG is mostly black...that's weird =\

With a smaller brush, like the 188, you should even be able to avoid the nipple if you wish to do so. The pink itself is quite a nice color, though the pigmentation is not the strongest and you have to pack it on, especially if you want to blend it into your skin.

^ Oh wow, I love your "duo" Golden Gaze! Mine has quite a lot of gold, but also plenty of black. I'd prefer even more gold myself. And my Rose Quartz has quite a bit nipple with lots of greens and I don't find it glittery at all. I don't know why some people say it's gritty. I love it.

Naynadine, how do you like WoC? Would you repurchase it or skip?
WoC is gorgous. I like it better than Pressed Amber. Colourwise it looks very similar to Peaches, I haven't swatched them together though, just from seeing them next to each other in the pan. But I prefer the MB texture over the Sheertone finish any time.
I'd definitely repurchase it.

I was going to wait until Debenhams had another 10% off thing to buy a couple of brushes and maybe Crystal Pink, but it seems that this Duty Free thing they have on will be going on until the end of the month :( So I might just say what the heck with it and buy them on Friday before I go on holiday!

Wrong answer. Now I want it, especially as it is available again :))) I agree that the MB texture is much better than the Sheertone finish. Just smooth and buttery.
