yea, im nc30-35 and at first her review disappointed me so much, but her reviews tend to be a little off for what works for me also, i do love the info and the swatches but usually have to try it for myself to see if it works, and i did order the betty pallette and at first glance at her review was afraid i made a mistake but ill have to see when it gets here (ugh!! monday!!!)
No liner. PP blush is so pretty! Love it
Great haul, and nice of you to describe the products. ENJOY!!!!It's here!(Well...round one anyway! Lol!)
I just opened all my precious black boxes and started swatching everything in front of my perplexed co-workers!
I guess I can call this my Veronica Haul since everything is from the Veronica collection. (I have some Betty's on their way!)
Ronnie Red is lovely. It reminds me a lot of MAC Red. While MAC Red is a staple, it's probably the red I reach for the most.
Boyfriend Stealer is definitely a unique color. It reminds me of a more opaque version of Clinique's Black Honey. (Which is what I was hoping it would look like!) It almost looks like a purple lip smacker I used to rock back in the day!
Daddy's Little Girl reminds me of a more matte Outrageously Fun. This is perfect. I love the shade of OF but it doesn't seem to wear well on me. I'm hoping DLG will have better staying power.
I also got all of Veronica's Lipglasses. I was surprised how well each one compliments the corresponding lipstick. The shades are almost identical!
Also in this haul is Veronica's Blush and Prom Princess.
I know some pale ladies like me (NW 15-20) were on the fence about Prom Princess...Don't be! I swatched it lightly on my inner wrist and it is the nicest soft berry color. The sheen is lovely. I think I may need to BU this one!
Veronica's Blush (the Pearlmatte) is quite nice too. I swatched the main color and the pink hearts. It is VERY sheer! Even on my super pale inner arm I could barely see it. I'm hoping this will make for a nice, natural highlight. I know that a blogger somewhere compared it to Play it Proper (setting off a mass copycat effect!) but I think it's more silvery, less pink that Play it Proper.
I tried to take some photos, but between my older gen iPhone and crappy office lighting, you can't tell much.
I'll post some photos when I get home with my normal camera.
Is there anything that you all want swatched? Anything you want comparison swatches with?
I really like Poodle on you! Did you try it on your eyes yet?
I do not need to place any more orders.I do not need to place any more orders. I do not need to place any more orders.
Not to enable you, but I vote for NOW...LOL! There is still a lot of stuff left in stock, and if there is something you want you might as well since technically you wouldn't be spending any more money. Plus you don't want to be like thislooking for things you missed out on
I agree.... Sometimes you can miss out on a good product on the strength of what someone else deems not desirable for your skin tone... I can see a very very pale powder where you can look and know that's not you...lol.. But, sometimes it's good to try it yourself
Got my package today!!
Betty Bright with flash (above) and natural light (below). It looks brighter, darker and more pigmented in person..none of the pictures I've seen so far really capture the true color! LOVE it. Seriously considering stalking my MAC store for a backup.. definitely the stand-out color in this collection for me.
Okay all you enablers, just placed Order #2 to get Prom Princess, Magic Spells, Spoiled Rich, Mall Madness, Kiss & Don't Tell.
I wore BB today, and I also own VG Nikki, I think they look pretty different. Nikki is more coral, and BB is more peachy pink. Nikki, is also a tad darker. I posted a picture of me wearing it earlier today, we are about the same skin tone. I am NC 35/40.
I am in no way a pro at this yet so excuse the application
Just got my black box!! Screw coffee I wanna play with my makeup
