HoneyMilk.... Real quick regarding your B2M experience...
I had this issue just recently as well with a MUA telling me I couldn't B2M a depotted shadow, but luckily during that same experience I was also B2M-ing a pot of Studio Finish SPF35 Concealer...
Guess what? The concealer pot looks EXACTLY like a depotted eyeshadow pot without its pan. Same size, looks identical. So I asked her, why can I not B2M a depotted shadow when all that's missing is the pan when THIS concealer is the SAME thing in EVERY way? She had NO answer for that and quickly B2M'ed my items.
So... next time you may want to mention this if it's a problem again. That pan has NOTHING to do with a B2M pot! HTH

I've had the same experience as Honeymilk so your advice comes in handy for me too. I never thought about the concealer looking the same as the eyeshadow pot! Wow i just finished a whole lot of concealers

Earthshine is really dark, more of a bronzer, i think. You are so fair that i suspect it's much too dark for you.

Depending on the balance of colors in the swirls, it can be a bit more plummy than brown, but swirled together it does look fairly dark brown. The one i tested had so much metallic i was surprised when it turned out as dark as it did. I'm going to re-test, but i suspect it isn't going to work on us pale ones.

Thanks, i'll test it out just to be sure, but i don't think i will like it.

I think it can work as a bronzer for pale beauties, but only with a light hand. It's definitely different from SP Goldstone, which was more bronze, were as ES is more brown.

You better start now. I know how picky you are with your MES, so go out now and search for the perfect swirl as long as you still have the chance. Luckily, you have enough stores in close proximity. Let us know what you picked.

I'm not friends with anybody to see the collection before it actually comes out. And it doesnt come out for another...2 weeks?

 

[Piarpreet]

No pain, no swirl. ROFL


I have to admit that I am not as passionate about HC as I was about SP. I still love SP Goldstone.

and i hate u for making me want goldstone, when it was already sold out and i cant find it

 

[Piarpreet]

im tempted to do this

I think I might just order everything online. I don't want to hunt for 17 different products.

guess i've just been lucky. although the mac i visit is inside a dillards, i've never been given trouble with B2M empty depotted shadows. once, they even B2M little pigment jars from a holiday set, even though they didn't quite know if they were allowed. love my girls!

L to R: Sky, Aurora, Universal Appeal, Invincible Light, Neo Nebula,
Water, Bright Moon, Magnetic Attraction, Earthly

these swatches look awesome! i was curious though about Light Year MSF. is it more of a goldeny highlight color, or does it read more cool/pink toned?

I am so excited about this collection and I might try my first Cremesheen too. Are they good? I think I'll pick up Astral. I am happy with the Dazzleglasses that I've got.

 

[Naynadine]

I calculated the total if I would get the six items I want and the number shocked me a little bit, LOL. So I have to cross one more thing off my list... which will probably be Ring of Saturn. So I'm getting:

Centre of the Universe
Star Wonder
Stratus
Earthly
Cut a Caper

*sigh*


I'm also wondering how Universal Appeal compares to Twilight Falls.

You're finally posting here! YAY, love the blog

Do get a cremesheen they are nice, a tad expensive though.

Thanks I have been lurking forever I am excited to try my first Cremesheen. I think I'm going to get 5 MES, 2 Blushes, and 3 MSF's. I just kicked Solar Ray off my list, I hope thats not a mistake!

My SA showed me the collection today and if the swirls they had are the norm no one will need to worry about hunting -- they were all perfect and gorgeous.

Super Nova is super gorgeous. It was really pigmented and the gold was very pretty.

Light Year didn't look pink/coral at all on me (NW20) just a nice gold tone sheen.
Star Wonder was really pink on me and would make a nice blush.
Earthshine was quite dark but BEAUTIFUL!! The sheen was indescribable -- one of my favourites.

Cut A Caper is really nice.
Cusp of Dawn is brownish although not as brown as To Catch A Sailor.
Venus is a really lovely pink, sheer but buildable.
Fire Sign is awesome! I think this is a red I can wear. It is very much how they describe it - a pink/red. It looked great with two swipes and even better with four or five.

Celestial Kiss looks like Boy Bait in the tube but I didn't swatch it.
Strictly Plutonic was nice but not for me.
Astral and Galaxy Rose were very similar to each other. One was a bit darker and one had more glitter. Sorry I can't remember which. The colours are gorgeous but because they are alike I'll only get one.

Edit --- Just looked at Yuki's swatches - Galaxy Rose is darker and Astral has more glitter. Still don't know which one I'll get, they are both so pretty.

Crystalis! I've watched your youtube videos! Love them! Its so great to see what the products will look like on WOC. I was thinking of kicking solar ray off my list too. Its seems a little too light and frosty for my taste. I can't wait for the collection release!! My list: MB: Supernova Ring of Saturn Stratus MSF: Earthshine Star Wonder Center of the Universe MES: Water Magnetic Attraction Universal Appeal Sky??? Still undecided about that one Earthly I'm not big on lip products, so I am skipping all of those.

Thanks so much for descriptions!! Light Year might be on my list now from your description. I hope it isn't too light for a NC45. That's the only reason I was thinking of not getting it. I just thought it might be too light for me. If it is just a nice gold sheen I might get it anyway. Although I did get whisper of gilt from the extra dimensions collection, so I don't know if I need another gold. I'm sure though the textures are probably different. I don't know....decisions, decisions!

Thank you, I really love blogging/vlogging. Your list looks similar to mine. I am a sucker for these types of collections. I have been using my MES all week just cause I'm so excited!
