I'm LOVING the formula of The Retoucher and am so glad she extended the shade range. I just received #9, and it's lovely for a slight brightening effect under my eyes with my tan (it'll be perfect for spot concealing when I become paler in the winter). I will say though, the swatches on her site are much darker than the actual color of the product (at least in the case of The Retoucher darker shades-- I've seen 6,7,9 & 10 IRL).



ETA: The swatches are much darker on her site, not lighter!!!

Yay, I hope you love it! And I'm so glad you love The Sophisticate palette!!
Thanks dear!

I am really really loving this line. I cannot wait to try the retoucher. I hope I bought the right shade. I'm usually the palest shade. I just hope its not too pale.

I'll take all the input you can give on the products in this line.

Hi everyone! I saw the collection up on Nordstrom the other day and ordered a few things for a trip I'm taking next weekend. I just got them in and I am super happy with everything except the Color Chameleon pencil. I got the Champagne Diamonds shade and it's a serious glitter bomb. I applied it super careful with patting motions and it still had alot of fallout onto the areas immediately under the eye. If you LIKE glitter is this an awesome pencil! However, I personally have an aversion to anything that attracts that much attention lol. Ian, my husband, really liked it though, which I thought was super cute.

I also got the Cheek to Chic blush in Ectasy which is super fabulous and a little darker than I expected from the photos online. I also picked up a K.I.S.S.I.N.G. lipstick in Nude Kate. Nude Kate actually is super sexy, there is this awesome sheen to it that really gives the lips the appearance of volume and the shade didn't wash me out (NC15 - NC20) as most nudes do. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend!

I was too tired to do swatches and pics last night after coming off a 3-day offsite. I decided I better do it before I grabbed a bottle - uh - glass of wine.

Here are comparison swatches of The Sophisticate Palette and Tom Ford's Cocoa Mirage:

Yazmin, thank you so, so much for taking the time to swatch these. Clearly there are differences between the two palettes, but not to the extent that I need the CT
palette now....albeit really beautiful!!! My Tom Ford Nude Dip e/s quad just arrived today, as well. I ordered CT's Hepburn Honey per your suggestion and I can't wait
for that to arrive!!!


I hope you enjoyed the wine---you earned it!!!

Wonderful swatches. The two palette are similar. I was thinking of getting Cocoa Mirage but now I will consider The Sophisticate. Do you have a preference between the two? I'm hoping to go check out the collection tomorrow.

Today I ordered bitch perfect lipstick, love glow blush, the Classic Audrey eye pencil, lip cheat in pink Venus, and the face powder. Whew! Beautylish restocked, BTW, and all of those things that are back ordered at nordies are in stock at beautylish. Last week I ordered the rebel palette (LOVE), films tar bronze and glow (love), and the corrector pen (like it so far, but still playing with it). I need to try the corrector pen without my bobby brown corrector, and see how it does concealing my dark circles by itself, as I'm not sure that they play nicely together, and that may be what is keeping me from loving it.
