I was initially interested in Azalea Blossom but now Im more interested in Vintage Grape. It looks more wearable. But I don't really know which to choose since she's darker than me.
I was interested in Japanese spring but it looks super sheer and I have pigmented lips.
I'm now interested in Red Dwarf. It looks pretty and I LOVE astrophysics [I did a project on it, 2x A2 sized posters complete with GLITTER!]

If you have pigmented lips, JS might not be the best investment as it is quite sheer indeed. Nevertheless, it's a pretty shade, but the color pay-off is subtle. It's certainly dupable, but so are most lighter glosses.

Well at least VG looks pretty much the same on Karen and T!

Damn its hard to base of karens swatches cause shes so much darker then me. But man o man vintage grape will look amazing on woc, I'm jealous
I've actually revised my opinion of it lately. I've worn it a few times and I like it a lot more than I used to. Paired with a highlighter, it works really well on fair complexions IMO. (I have it on here: http://morelikespace.blogspot.com/2011/12/making-faces-fable-of-unshrinking.html)
I looooove the look of Approaching Storm, which I expected. Still not sure about Red Dwarf. The quad is lovely, but it's hard to tell if it's something I really need. It seems like I have similar shades... But I don't know if they're similar enough. This collection will definitely be decided in person, because I feel like there are too many shades I need to check to see how distinct they are from what I already have.

Hmm, I like Vintage Grape more than I thought I would. Not sure how it will look on me so I will have to check it out in person. Almost totally decided on getting Azalea Blossom!
I can't remember, is this collection going to be freestanding stores only or counters as well?

Does this mean she'll be reviewing the whole collection in the next few days?

I'm still unsure what I want from this collection. I may skip the blush ombres and the eyeshadow quad. I am still on the fence about Approaching Storm and Seasoned Plum. I'm considering a possible skip for me altogether since there is more I want from the Spring collections. I'm just so confused.

Temptalia just gave the quad an F. Wow these grades are killing me
Maybe a rubric would be more appropriate.

I was just about to say the same thing. I really was very interested in this quad and now I don't know if I should get it or not. I still like the shades but an F really?

I will definitely have to swatch the quad at the counter. It looks like the only preorder I have will be Vintage Grape, and possibly the purple cremesheen.

I dare say take something we are not gonna see in the next future!.. For example in the Shop cook collection there are 2/3 lipsticks that could look like approaching storm (imo), but there are no powder blushes!! (we'll have mineralize blushes and cremeblend blushes ^^ )

Should I just skip the quad, and get Lady Grey one instead?

I'm going to skip Azelea Blossom. I own Sakura and to my eyes, they look similar and would look even more so on the cheek. I'm going to get Vintage Grape, it looks so lovely.

Who cares about the grades. If you like the quad, get it. What is an "F" for one person can be an "A" for another one - or vice versa.

Thank you xasperadastra! I will take what you have said into consideration. Maybe I will treat myself to a blush ombre. Which one though???? Decisions, decisions.

You are very right with this Mac-Guy! Maybe the quad T got was just a bad one. I've bought stuff before that she gave bad grades to and ended up loving them. I can't remember them right now. Too many other things on my mind. I do appreciate & respect her very much and she does a wonderful job. Just sometimes you don't know if the items that were received are fresh or not.
