I just put some pics in the Strength thread, but I'll repost one here, since on my eyes I'm wearing Fireside MES. I really like it for my blue/grey eyes I feel like it makes them pop. The green duochrome isn't too noticable, but it just adds a nice touch to the colour.

"Makes them pop" is an understatement. Sooo beautiful!!!

Wow, I wish that happened to me! I would've done a happy dance if Heroine showed up at my door. And yes, that sounded really wrong, lol.

LOL... funny....

Here are two, but there are tons that can give you a good idea contouring and highlighting. You can use whatever area of the technique that most suits your needs/tastes.

Awesome, thanks! I'm gonna try it this weekend. I'll have to look for more on WOG and Superb. Don't want to give up on them yet.

I detected a flaw in the balms this morning: we had about -20 C (-5 F) this morning and I walked to work with some balm on my lips. By the time I reached the workplace the balm had turned into white!

This is actually a common problem with glosses in cold temperatures.

Wearing Hot Choc for the first time today. It's TAUPE!!! With a tinge of plum, and possibly a touch of grey. I was super concerned it would look like I'd smothered my lips in, erm..., excrement. But I needn't have worried at all because this baby doesn't show brown on me, not one bit. LOVE IT!

Paired it with All Woman quad on the eyes and Taupe Shape + Poised on the cheeks. Worked a treat!

I've been wearing Hot Chocolate a lot lately and I love it. I LOVE Après Chic but I'm gonna save that one for Spring/Summer.

So awesome! Love that you're loving HC & the AW quad. Now don't forget about BL's Toff to finish off the look!!!

Soooooo weird - I got an Apres Chic lipstick shipment out of the blue from Nordstrom yesterday

I had 3 orders canceled so maybe they hunted one down for me. I have no idea

what happened, but I sure am happy about it.

Awesome that they followed through that way. AC is so pretty...ENJOY!

I love Silver Birch with Raven e/k! I'm wearing that today with Catch My Eye as a (kinda awesome) base, a sort of green duochrome brow bone highlight and Peony Petal blush. Fun! Idk what to put on my lips though.

I paired SB with Mystery (the blackened green kohl) and then used The Prowl on the lip. I was trying to up the green tones, so I used Delft as a base. I used White gold piggie on the brow, which is a greenish pearl/white as well. I think the Deep rusty brown of The Prowl contrasted well with the green/grey/silver of the smoky eye. Or you could just go with a nude, like Tropical Mist or Hue?

Ooooo that sounds lovely! I don't have Prowl but maybe I can sheer out Prince Noir. Although that will be full on vampy on me since SB makes a smoky eye on my skintone. Hue it is!

I'm definitely going to try that look!

What is this BL Toff you speak of? Never heard of it.

This happens when i wear my tendertones and take a drink of ice water. It leaves thick white on the glass rim.

Raven looks amazing with all the shadows in this collection, even Frost at Midnight!!

I love the sound of your combo - how about trying it with Haute Altitude, since you're using Peony Petal on the cheeks. Cozy Up would look great with that eye too, but maybe not with PP blush.

A look I've been liking with SB is Dalliance in the tear duct, SB on the lid (applied wet) and the pale grey shade from All Woman quad in the crease, with Orpheus lining the waterlines and smudged a little under the lower lid. I wore this with Amber Glow/Alpine Bronze and Cozy Up, but Apres Chic would be good too on the lips.

Haute Altitude with Cult Fave lipglass from Fafi = LOVE!
