Hmmm. Here it is Ingenue, looks like they didn't call it Topkapi in their listing:

Oh this is FABULOUS! Sheesh... they want my first-born for it. And I see it's limit ONE per customer.

They are not kidding around.

Oh yeah... I guess they figure if you're going to buy it this late (back up or no), you're going to have to PAY for it.

It's an amazing quad though, really worth keeping around forever and ever.

Karen has swatches of (most of) the holiday collection up. It's interesting seeing the colors again on someone closer to my skin tone, especially since her swatches are 100% accurate on me. Might be picking up Enivree, Sweet Beige, Sparkle D'Or, and Beige Lame after all. Can't wait to see everything on her face (she has looks planned) to make a final decision.

I want the duo now as well! Lol I hope she does face swatches soon! *impatient*

^Seriously, I wished I had backed up Topkapi too but $80 USD + tax?! That's nearly the cost of...three glossimers!

The price sounds horrendous until you think about it being only $15 more than the original price. Personally I would not buy two even at the original price, but I'm just saying if you would have backed it up at the original price maybe it's not so bad to back up for $15 more? I dunno...just a thought.

I actually don't like Topkapi that much on me. I wish I hadn't used it so, I could sell it on ebay.

I actually did not like Topkapi... and did not buy it. I don't regret it cause it is just so dupeable.

That's why I skipped it even though it was tempting because it looked so good. I don't regret it, though. Those kinds of colors don't excite me much and I already have some of them laying around just in case.

I agree that Topkapi is dupeable, but I love it. The finish, texture and pigmentation is divine. After reading some reviews and seeing some swatches, I want Triomphal. The highlighter is surprisingly not calling my name. I will try it on my face to see if I want it. Anyone loving the tweed blush? It seems to look like Burberry Russet. Sabrina said it reminds her of Chanel Tweed Sienna and Ambre, so I guess Brun Rose is lighter.

I use the angled powder brush from the set today and I like it. It is very soft and picks up just enough powder from my EL mercury highlighter for my cheeks. I like the size too, the head is smaller than the full sized so I don't get highlighter on my nose or undereyes. But the brush kind of stinks lol.

Winthrop - I pulled out my Reflets d'ombre quad today after forgetting about it for a while. Too many quads! Anyway, there is an ivory shade which is quite gritty in my baked version. Do you have the quad? The ivory in the duo is much smoother.

Cheryl -- I agree, I love Topkapi, too! I am in love with the silvery taupe color (I wish they made singles of it). The texture is what seals the deal for me -- the colors just blend so amazing well into each other.

MissQQ -- Elegant got the new Tweed blush and loves it!

Agreed, Topkapi is more about the texture and staying power than the actual color. I love that quad. The colors are rich and there is NOTHING like that texture. I used the gold color yesterday and was thinking about how it blew the new Holiday single out of the water.
