I went to Barneys and picked up
Dominique and
Vivien yesterday. I was so excited to try the exclusive shades and they were incredibly smooth, pigmented, and
ugh, I just love them! It's pretty funny that I ended up with
Vivien despite returning Givenchy's
Violine Précieux. I guess that touch of coolness is what I was looking for? I'll just keep telling myself that...
Here are some outdoor hand swatches of the two Barneys exclusive shades in direct sun/shade:
As a side note: The SA was out of control. I told him I wanted to try
Dominique on and before I knew it, he practically redid my full face. He also managed to turn that amazing lavender into this awkward brown thing by sculpting my lips with a chocolate brown eyeliner (
Mambo) and topping it with a golden nude gloss (
Striptease).
