I noticed a couple of these new matte shades showing up (unboxed) on eBay so I wonder if it is sales associates taking them home to sell on eBay before the collection launches?

Hey Med, unable to quote but love the Illicit/BA combo. Gotta try that! When I do my pre- buy quad percentage rating (yes, I do it to decide if a quad is worth getting) Burnished Amber is the only one with 100% rating as I equally love and use all 4 colors. The best TF quad ever in my opinion!

I really want to try out Negligee but I have ZERO business spending $50 on a lipstick. Ah well, maybe for my birthday.

Burnished amber is my all time TF favorite. I read a blog where they claimed if you used MAC colors it was the same with better application. I already had the MAC colors they used. Close, but not quite. Let us all hope if Black Orchid lipstick does a return, then TF doesn't do what Chanel with Vamp. As in change the color and called it Vamp. Those of us who kept the nail polish from ga-billion years ago so know the current Vamp nail polish is not the same as the original. For the TF popping up on ebay, inventory of these products is tightly controlled. I would lean towards it being fake. Or if these items have already been released in another part of the world. Then they could be the real thing. Such as the Chanel new quads. They were released in Europe last Spring. Didn't come here until late summer in the States. Or the orange mascara from Chanel, never sold in the States. But I purchased mine form Selfridges. Try to avoid ebay if I can.

Softcore on pale skin :) It's gorgeous but woo is it shimmery, especially the highlight colour. I like shimmer but even I had to blend it out!

I finally wore Softcore blush duo today. I knew from posts on here that it was pigmented so I just pat the TF blush brush lightly on the product and then applied it to cheeks. It looked good. I don't think I like the highlighter. Shocking! I just feel the color is off. Same with Stroked. At least on me anyway. I need another highlighter to pair with the 2 blush duos? Any suggestions?

The Stroked highlighter works ok for me but even though I haven't received my Softcore duo yet I already know that highlighter is going to be WAY too white. I plan on trying to use it as a highlighter in my inner eye/under brow bone instead just so it doesn't go to waste (no waste allowed at that price point!). What color highlighter do you think you'd need to make it work?

I'm thinking you can try magnetic appeal, topaz chameleon or superb. it depends on what look you are going for.
