Taupe looks so nice, but I'd definitely have to look it over first. A freestanding store might have it.

Yeah they might! I think as long as this collection is out, they won't be selling the pan :sigh:

maybe so they don't lose the extra pennies. How'd you like VGR2?

Honestly I don't know if it was the lighting or the fact that it applied quite sheer, I was underwhelmed seeing it against my skin tone. It's pretty unique, I give them that and looks a lot prettier with the gloss on! It's good to have in the collection but I don't know if I will reach for it very often! My lips are pretty pigmented to begin with so maybe it's beauty is lost on me due to the sheer application? Dunno!

Oh btw forgot to tell you, PC looked meh! Me no likey! And the shadows looked quite diff in person too. I expected them to be lot prettier based on swatches though!

I'm sad you don't like PC! I love love love mine.

 

[Vineetha]

I'm sad you don't like PC! I love love love mine.

Oh it was pretty! Just that it didn't do much against my skin tone is all! the muted quality of it tend to turn ashy on me! I am sure you are rocking the shade though!

Checked this collection out in person today. The only thing I picked up was Natural Wilderness. It didn't even look mustard on me. More like a muddy olive brown...which I liked lol. I wanted that CCB to match, but I wouldn't use it enough and creams go bad too quickly. Marsh looked too green on me. Didn't swatch the others. Taupe looked straight grey on me. Too intense for what I wanted. Pink Cult isn't my color. The lipsticks weren't bad, but none were amazing either. Shitake was pretty, but I didn't need it. Yash was straight pink. That was unexpected. Liked Siss, but that's always around. I ended up getting Sun Power MSFN and repurchased my BB cream.

Ah okay. I bet you're loving Sideshow You then! It's super bold on me. I barely touched my brush top it and still had to blend it out with a clean brush afterwards. Maybe I'm just not used to corals yet though.

SY yes! I love corals!! Yeah needs a bit playing around with deeper shades to hit the right note! But once you find the balance you will love it!!

Yeah me too! I was quite underwhelmed by the collex and I love my neutrals. Something abt the shades make it hard to work against my skin tone maybe? The Ccb's were really pretty though! I

Have you tried their polish? I'm loving all the jelly based glitters!

Ooooo, what brands do you like? I'm always curious about them.

I've tried Delightful Rot and One Hand Washes The Other. I have a favorite from both.

Some people say Delightful Rot's scents come off slightly synthetic but I have had no problems. I've tried Thor, Loki, Gryffindor, TARDIS, Belle, Die Gute Fee, Leaf on the Wind, and I think a couple more that aren't coming to mind. I liked all but the standout for me was Thor. It's perfection on me.

OHWTO has nice scents. Only one in the sample set I bought was full size worthy but I think that has less to do with the quality of her perfumes (I have tried a small handful and she has a TON!) than it did how they worked with my skin chemistry. But the one that did work for me has become my signature (and of COURSE it was LE).

I just made a sample order from Haus of Gloi. I've heard great things about them, as well as Solstice Scents, Darling Clandestine, Haunt, Alkemia (I just bought 3 full sizes from there, will post when I get them!). There are sooo many. If you're on reddit, check out /r/indiemakeupandmore. Great community and they are posting about companies all the time. It is a rabbit hole though!

Hmmm.... I'm definitely going to have to check this in store then. My lips are pigmented too.
