Pantone's 2014 Colour of the Year... RADIANT ORCHID

[LavenderPearl]

This is what I think of when I think of radiant orchid:




I would definitely love to sport this on my lips, but probably not on my cheeks.

Since I'm a huge fan of Estee Lauder lipsticks, I might try Pure Color Vivid Shine in Violet Electra (third one):




I would like something even more opaque than that, but the color matches the flower in my mind perfectly!

Hoowee, two beautiful things in this post!

I'm still waiting for Sephora's Radiant Orchid to come back in stock. I swear it's been like a good two or three months now?

Actually I just looked at Sephora and they have the entire Radiant Orchid Collection up, even though you can't purchase it yet. I'm leaning toward that pallette.

You can purchase now - I have the cheek color and the radiant femme artistry set on the way to me now. I went to the "Just Arrived" page, added to my cart and it let the purchase go through. I have shipping confirmation already. The eye palette seems to be out of stock, though.

Tried to resist!

I did, only partially...ordered just the lipstick---a real bargain though w/free shipping.

Hi there Luvlydee. What did you pick up?

I just got the liner even though i like how it looks more purple online. its more pink in person.

I ordered the large palette and the blush palette. I normally hate Sephora's own makeup line, but orchid is one of my favorite makeup colors and it's not super easy to find in blush and eyeshadow form. I'm hoping it's decent quality, but I'm not super optimistic.

Temptalia reviewed the blush palette and it looks really pretty.
I'm mainly worried about the eyeshadows.

I got the Pantone radiant orchid lip balm as a surprise gift from hubby today. I didn't know they had it in a lip balm. It's really super pretty and totally wearable for me. He asked the SA what's the newest lipstick he could get and when she showed him the original he knew I'd not go that bright so she showed him this. Wasn't aware it's out (I'm not very observant) for those of you who were saying the lipstick is too bright

 

[Mybootsareheavy]

Got my order!!!

The cheek palette looks stunning!!! Although i feel like the pans don't fit in the packaging well. It's weird. I haven't played with the eye palette yet but I'll try to post swatches when I do!!

 

[KiKi Kontour]

i went to check out the pantone collection at sephora and Myboots ur are CORRECT the pans dont fit the packaging...i thought it was just that one that might've been defective lol. i seen alot of spacing. when i swatched it, its too light for me other than the pink one. i think the winner out of the whole collection is actually the gloss set. In ref to the biggest set that includes the pink illuminizer...the gel liner is a weird mauvy type color and im not a cream blush type fan. im not paying $75 but we all know it'll be on sale for like $20-30 later lol. luckily the liner is sold seperately as well. YEEEEES who kneeeew they had a balm too. now that i might get...again when it goes on sale becuz nothing in the pantone set is top priority for me!!

uggggh that divergent set was so promising looking...just sad sad waste...but thats another thread lol

That dang Sephora+Pantone Radiant Rush lipstick broke my no-buy! But, it was worth it. It stains and isn't matte, as claimed, but I love, love, love it anyway.

Still looking for the perfect Radiant Orchid nail polish, though. Anyone here manage to grab the Julep Radiant Orchid polish, Rae, before it sold out? It looks a wee bit dusty on the pics on their site, but the color-accuracy of their website photos is notoriously bad.

Great color for you Naughtyp!!!! I'm sure it looks amazing on you.

thank you =) i will use it and post a pic!

I picked up the COTY eyeshadow palette the other day. I played with it in-store and was skeptical at first but the colours are honestly great and it's well pigmented.
I think I might actually use it tomorrow. I've never payed attention to the ones from the previous years, but all the girls at the store were saying they were crappy anyway.
