I finally got my order today, do you still want to see my haul/swatches/reviews? At this point I think everyone already ordered and got their goodies and I'm not sure if that would still be useful to someone.

Soooo I stopped by a store today while running some other errands. After seeing some things in-person, I got IP fluidline, as well. It's beautiful. Everything you all were saying was true! That purple shimmer

Gorgeous. I'm only gonna be using it as a base. It took all my self-control not to get Sweet Heat, Silver Dawn, and Overspiced, too. Hope I can find a decent nude gloss at the drugstore instead. But Maybelline is charging $9 for their new glosses and the other brands aren't much better. WTH is up with that smh? Anyway lol, I don't think I've ever loved a collection this much. These are really the kind of colors that I love.

Unless it's really a TDF colour, I now only buy MAC CSG in the holiday bundles. They're much more affordable that way. I bought the Nude holiday kit and the Coral holiday kit, and I'll be set for gloss for the year. No reason to pay a fortune for a nude gloss, IMO.

http://youtu.be/QKz_2ScmjUs This video is amazing!!! for contouring up to 7:20. After 7:20 i have to say i highly disagree with what she says about contouring placement, sooo take it as you will. And if you use an actual contour powder as opposed to a bronzer :eek:hboy:, your contour results will be amazing!!!
Sorry back on contouring for a sec! I found a nars store that still has Ita brushes & will ship! PM me if you want deets!! :nods:

did anyone purchase sweet heat e/s? Is it worth to buy. I heard its similar to all that glitters. Thanks
It's nothing at all like All That Glitters. SH is darker and far more metallic. I've barely touched mine (and I have the full size version), whereas I'm about to hit pan on ATG. YMMV, but if I had to do it again I wouldn't buy it.

That's how I feel. I only have 5 lipglasses. For some reason, I feel like lipgloss and lip pencils shouldn't cost what a lipstick costs. Probably makes no sense lol, but while I can spend $15 for a lipstick, $15 for a pencil or gloss seems so expensive to me. I should have grabbed a couple of those gloss sets

Okay, thank you. I'm wondering if it's like silver dawn because it did not look too metallic on the eye. Very day/work appropriate. Do you think sweet hear is more metallic than silver dawn? I guess I can always return it if I don't like it.

I don't have Silver Dawn. I just swatched both ATG and SW onto my hand and then a tissue. I'd say that SH is a little darker, a bit more rose/champagne gold. The finish and great pigmentation is really what makes it so different. I personally find SW to be too metallic/bold for me to wear to the office (but I work in a conservative environment so that might not be an issue for you). I wear it most often as a sheer wash of colour in the summer. It's a nice one and done look for me. ATG is a more wearable, office friendly finish for me.

SW is very similar to Superb, if you have that. I'm reaching here, but I'd say SH is very slightly more rose gold than Superb, but that's with a heavy swatch.

Also wondering if I should pick up sweet heat, mostly because I think it will be gorgeous with my coloring in the summer months! So hard to resist!

I didn't like CI because it pulled too brown on me. I much prefer Rusty (although they aren't really comparable). I have Caliente and like wearing it with Heroine liner to pull out the purple. I also like wearing a sheer wash of it over other matte lippies; it's not as glittery then but adds a gorgeous sheen.

I didn't buy Hellhound because I still have 3/4 of my 2 year-old Rich Bounty. They aren't exact, but close enough. I don't think I'd reach for HH enough given how little I used RB. Well, this has been a good nudge to pull it out and use it more. I don't want to BTM a close to full lipglass so I better start wearing it!
You and me are in the same boat.
