was that called 'photo' or something like that?

OMG--I had that one! For some reason I don't recall that it was as dark as HC

Amazingly fierce!

Photo is still available actually. I googled it to see what it looked like and not really any swatches. I wish I would have worn makeup when I was a younger teen so I coulda played with the 90's mattes. I did wear flannels and stuff tho lol.

Edit b/c of silly typo. Oops, it's late lol.

Thank you everyone!

i love how HC looks on you, what blush are you wearing?? it looks perfect with HC.

I was wearing Modern Mandarin mixed with a little bit of NARS Lovejoy. I topped it off with Stereo Rose as a highlight.

I've been wearing my balm under and over and by itself. Loving it. It is esp. good blotted under a drier lippie because my lips need moisture.

Today I was wearing HC with Just Wonderful l/l to make it a bit redder. Liked it. I would not mind if it were just brown on me, but it's with a hint of red which is not good on me, so I need to make it a bit redder. I think I will try HA with JW too, because HA is too pink for me!

I used the first time In Extreme Dimension mascara - it is gorgeous !

I got Silver Birch today, very pretty. Like it a lot better than Ice. Still very shimmery, but not like the crazy sparkly glitter orgy on lids that is Ice. I feel like it looks almost gold on me, or rather there's more of an antique gold hue to it than what I expected from swatches. I like it better than Chanel Epatant.

 

[Mac-Guy]

It's a great product, isn't it?

 

[Lipstickdiva420]

Very pretty!!! I'm debating if i should spend some money on a good mascara or just revelon because it dries out so quickly.

ooo you got on of the gold ones!

Could you take a photo of your pan? I got that look when I first tested it, but the one I picked out doesn't show up with that antique golden hue, even though I tried to get one without a lot of black. I'd love to see what the vein mix you need for the gold look looks like!

Love Hot Chocolate on its own, but I paired it with Boldly Bare lip pencil to warm it up a bit.

Your face is beat hunty. You werk

Muchas gracias!

Really good mascara is worth all the money

I will try to take a decent pic in the next days! I haven't even paid attention to veining with the MES from this collection. I don't think mine looks a lot different from the other ones I've seen online. But when I swatched it antique gold was the first thing that came to mind. I used it wet with Fix+, though.

Was able to score the last two HC lippies from my Dillard's counter, score! Now on a search to find a backup of HA :/

Stereo rose:




Apres Chic:

mine's been really grey, even with Fix+

So weird - I was really looking forward to the olive gold - I have enough grey shadows already.

 

[bulbasaur359]

I'm wondering how the veining helps with the color of SB too. I haven't played with mine yet. I'd love to see what an olive gold one looks like in pan.

 

[MRV]

It's a great product, isn't it?

Yes! I may need to buy several but the collection is still a no show here!!

 

[makeupgrrl]

You are making me so happy I ordered one of these!! I just got my black box 10 minutes ago and can't wait to try it out. It looks awesome on you!

I'm going to have to play around with my HC I think. When I applied it, it was super, super dark on me. In the end I took it off and applied GD as I didn't have time to play with it or anything else with me as I was away travelling. I do love HA though.
