Armani Discussion

Found more Blogger Pics. I don't think these have been posted. I actually kind of forgot about this blogger. I bookmarked her site last year because she was one of the few bloggers that had early pics and info of the last summer's Armani ETK intense collection shadows. I should have known she would have some pics.

OK, I'm now wondering what would happen if I just walked up to one of the associates at my counter and asked if they'd cut me a deal for buying one of everything. There are things in there that I wouldn't wear as much as others, but there isn't one single thing that I look at and think "not for me". I'd find a way.

Picked up my Blue Beetle today. I thought maybe I had the wrong one because I could have sworn I saw that color at home but I know I had checked the number twice before I ordered. Well, I went to the counter to return and they had the display out. They didn't have the silver one in the display and there is no slot for it. Strange. I did get to try the palettes though and surpisingly I liked the one with the purple and blue in it. I will probably go back for that one and maybe the other palette. I thought the blushes were just too light. I'm wondering if they are supposed to be highlighters. They did have a shimmer to them.

I have never tried any of the Armani lipsticks but I swatched them all on hand and I liked the formula.. I think I liked the orange colors more than the others. I will go back and try the regular colors too.

I played with the ETK last night and I was inspired by Sara's look and tried a few colors together. I did green on the lid, pink in the crease and blue on the outer corner. I also added #20 (dark blue from Aqua Collection???) as a liner. I really liked the look.

Today I just wore Rose Papilion on the lid with #28 (I think this one is Red Platine) in the crease and outer corner). I really wish they would put the names on the products. I'm thinking about writing the name on the cap with a silver marker but I think I need an ultra fine point and I only have fine point right now.

Info on the upcoming nail lacquers http://www.chicprofile.com/2013/08/giorgio-armani-fall-2013-nail-lacquers-collection-info-photos.html Thank heaven they're not limited!

Thank heaven they're not limited!

Wow! A lot of lines seem to be launching nail polish. But none of them seem to have unusual colors so I haven't been all that excited about it. But time will tell.

I found a few swatches of the Eyes to Kill on a slightly darker skin tone.

Any L'Oreal colours that come close? TIA

#34 doesn't look light to me in the pics, #31 looks lighter.

katred - I feel like I need all 6 EtKs too, it is getting harder to choose as the swatches look beautiful. Getting #30 for sure, and as for the rest I'll have to see how I feel when I see them in person.

RdA #611 is gorgeous.

Just FYI. When traveling do not simply carry your maestro foundation in a makeup bag without being in the box or othe type of support. I was told this, I didn't listen, and I now regret not listening. I was traveling and the entire bottle leaked out because the top is not travel friendly. Foundation everywhere.

Good to know but my bottle isn't very secure as it is. The stopper keeps coming out and I have to pull it all away out and feed it back through the cap. It is quite a mess. I wonder if it's a design defect or I just got a dud.

Has anyone compared EtK #30 with Chanel's Gri-gri?

T's review of Rouge d'Armani #300.

http://www.temptalia.com/giorgio-armani-300-rouge-darmani-lipstick-review-photos-swatches

I don't think I need this particular shade (Givenchy Candide Tangerine and Mac Neon Orange fulfill all my bright orange needs), but it looks up to par with other RdA's. Until she pointed it out, I didn't realise that the value by weight of these lipsticks was actually very good.

....I just posted this link over in the BR 2014 thread because I thought that all the Tomango lovers might like this lipstick!

So who wants to see some swatches of the new semi-opaque lipstick line?

http://www.britishbeautyblogger.com/2013/08/giorgio-armani-rouge-ecstasy-cc-care-colour-lipstick.html

They are exactly what's been promised: Between the sheers and the regular Rouge d'Armani in pigment. Plus they promise to care for your lips. These are just 8 of the 36 shades that are coming and I already see 3 or 4 that I want...

EDIT: More swatches (same shades):

So pretty! I want that red

Looks like Sara couldn't resist the lure of that last EtK after all... Her (wallet's) loss is our gain- swatches and a look!

http://www.colormeloud.com/2013/08/giorgio-armani-etk-35-silver-chafer-as.html

And of course... RdA 610 (with comparisons):

I can see now that Armani will be getting my money for a long time to come.

Curiously enough I don't like the bold ( red ) packaging, but I will purchase from the Fall collection. I have 2 Armani lipsticks ( I purchased 400 a few days ago ), I love the texture, it's incredibly long-wearing and smooth. The colour itself is beautiful. But red packagings, well probably not for me. The texture is between a balm and a lipstick, I suppose it's like a M.A.C Mineralize ?

Wow 36 colors! That is a lot. I think this might be a good place for me to start with Armani lipsticks. I'm more of a gloss girl and prefer more sheer lipsticks. I've only tried Armani glosses. I think I should try a lipstick soon.

Thanks for posting, love the look. I just wish the colours were this dark on me, still trying to get the overspray off. Lovely pictures Sara 610 is way darker and more vampy on me. *sniff*
