Quote: I ended up with:

1. Double Definition EDSF, which is beautiful!!
2. Shape the Future EDSF
3. At Dusk EDB (I didn't really like the other blushes )
4. Opalesse EDES
5. Smoky Mauve EDES
6. Zestful EDES
7. Extra Silver EDES
8. Dimensional Blue EDES

ES and DB were a spur of the moment decision - I don't normally wear blues and silvers, but they were just too pretty to pass up! Or at least that's what I'm telling myself :haha:

Amazing haul Gracie! I was wondering how you find Smoky Mauve? Its the only thing from ED I was really interested in, but decided to skip it because of having a limited budget and wanting so much from the other collections. The only EDES I have are from Glamourdaze. I got Stylishly Merry, A Natural Flirt and the blue one (sorry I can't remember the name). I like them when used wet, especially the blue one, but I just can't seem to get any decent colour payoff when they're dry. Does anyone else have this problem? So as gorgeous as all of the new ones looked I decided to leave them. I just really love the colour of Smoky Mauve and keep thinking if I should of got it. Opalesse looks gorgeous aswell, it's so pretty. You're making me want that one again too.

I really like it (especially with Opalesse!)
I can do some swatches if you'd like?

Oh that would be great please if you don't mind? You look quite pale in your Avatar and I'm super pale so I'd love to see them on your skintone.

I am indeed very pale

I know already that Opalesse is going to be tricky to photograph - stupid pink/white/purple duochrome!

Haha I'm probably as white as that little fluffy man lol. I wish I could use the emoticons on my phone, they're so fun. Don't worry if it's too hard to photograph, i know how tricky colours like that can be.

Thank you so much for this Gracie, it was so sweet and kind of you! They really are so gorgeous! I'm actually loving Opalesse alot more than SM. It's so great being able to see them on someone with a similar skintone and very helpful so thank you again! How are you finding the textures and the colour pay off?

They're really smooth and the payoff is great, even dry (like these swatches were). I've found that these EDES were more similar in terms of great pigmentation and payoff to the original Extra Dimension e/s from last spring. I have 3 from Glamour Daze and they're a lot drier and sheerer

That's really good to hear. The glamour daze ones are really sheer, that's what put me off these, but you've made me really want them again. I've spent way more money on make up than I should already but I think Opalesse especially is just too pretty to pass up. Do you happen to know if it's anything like the Aura/Magic from the UD Glinda palette?

I don't have any of the original release, and I've only played with Zestful so far, but assuming the others are the same I agree with Gracie that these are much better than the Glamourdaze release. Much smoother/ butterier (not a word!)

The glamourdaze ones are the only ones I have so I just assumed these would be the same. I'm happy to hear they're much better, although my wallet isn't so happy about it. Zestful looks really pretty in the swatches I've seen aswell. To be honest I liked and wanted them all initially apart from the silver one, silvers just not a colour I wear much.

They really are though

I just did a quick comparison. The basic colour is very similar BUT Opalesse has much better colour payoff and a stronger sheen (which is distinctly pink) so except in flat light where you can't see the sheen they look quite different. Opalesse is far superior IMO. I'll attempt swatches tomorrow but don't hold out much hope for them photographing very well! Btw, why is everyone up so late?

Thank you for comparing them for me. Don't worry about trying to swatch them I know how difficult it will be to try and show differences of these kinds of colours in a photo, thank you though. Your description is enough and I know exactly what you mean. I love the UD colour so I now know I would love Opalesse. I think I may have to get it, I don't think I can resist it's prettyness (also not a word lol). I'm very unwell in alot of pain and it keeps me from sleeping. I'm going to come off Specktra for tonight now otherwise I'll end up ordering all the EDES if I keep hearing how nice they are lol. Hope you had a nice time jennyap, and gracie I hope you're able to get to sleep soon.

Thank you for the EDES swatches! I just got my haul from Debenhams delivered - they're on the ball all of a sudden. Once payday rolls around - thinking of going back in for Underdressed and a bronzing powder - but not sure which shade to go for. :S

That was quick! Hopefully my Vault will arrive today. Although having said that, I'd prefer Tuesday as hubby is home today and I'm not even there to hide it!

Mine arrived this morning via normal postie though you have to sign for it. It's huge! I can't open the package yet as my fella will go mad if he finds out how much I paid. It's awful but I've pretended it's something for his birthday in a few weeks so he can't look

You're going to have to buy him something the same size and shape now
