thanks so much luvlydee I have been reaching for it more because so many love it here I decided to give it a fair shot because I and many others have so many lipsticks sometimes ones we try and at first we were not feeling we put on the back burner but now I will try to give them all some love

I got to see the collection yesterday. Don't have a lot of time to talk right now, but I really wasn't expecting anything from it, but the products won me over. The new lipsticks have a wonderful texture - very smooth and even. Pleasure Bomb is in the Impassioned/Love Goddess family - my MA felt like it reminded him of MAC Red, but matte. I originally wasn't interested in it, but the color is very very vibrant and rich and the application is easy as pie. Bad Girl Riri was really nice too - it's along the lines of Offshoot or One of a Kind in color, but with more brick/terra cotta/brown - sort of a mid-tone brick rose. Very simple and flattering on me (NC15), but on other skin tones it will turn into an amazing MLBB.

I'm not in the market for bronzer, but this particular bronzer is really beautiful - again a very rich, subtle color, very balanced with a little red undertone, but not ruddy at all. Very slight sheen. Beautiful light smooth texture. For the right skin tone, this will be an HG.

I was pleased with the Pearlfusion shadows - they're still super sparkly, but they were also well-pigmented. I wish the strips were wider of each color. 2X Dare was warmer toned, even though the colors sound like they should be cooler. Phresh Out had more of a pastel feeling to it, pinkish neutrals - it will be very flattering on dark skin and NW skin in general. I might actually get 2X Dare - I don't really need more sparkly shadows right now, but it sure was pretty and lasted very well over a paint pot, without fallout (you have to use only a little bit at a time if you want to avoid fallout, but a little goes a long way).

I wanted to like the white Superslick Liner and I did - it was easily made opaque, but it isn't chalky. it looked great as a fine line over really black mascara. Cockiness looks more copper than rose gold, imo, but this will be a handy color for a lot of people and was also easily opaque. They both feel more like the gold and silver Superslick Liners, rather than something like the black one that's a bit more vinyl-ish, but again, more opaque than the gold and silver are by a lot.

The brush wasn't anything overwhelming.

I'm going to get one each of the new lipsticks - really no motivation on them for BUs for me, personally (and I honestly could have skipped them, except they are particularly nice versions of classic colors we've seen many times before). I'm also getting a white liner and I maaaaaaay get 2X Dare, but it's honestly a bit too sparkly for casual daytime shadow - it's subtle but still pretty dressy, so I'd call it better for formal daytime or evening. If you have a medium or medium/deep skin tone (not light) and want a great bronzer, Love, Rihanna is going to be beautiful. If your skin tone is very dark, it might be a nice illuminator, without reading like a highlighting powder - didn't get a chance to check it out on a darker skin tone while I was there.

Edit: It's in-store on the 12th. I have no idea about when it might be online - didn't ask.

Thank you, Liba! I'm definitely excited for the new lipsticks, but do I need Love, Rihanna? I keep going back and forth on this one.
