Yes the tint oil glosses is what I wrote about. I use it just before I go to bed and my lips are nice and soft in the morning. It is a quiet little gem and I love all of them. Again, doesn't matter your skin tone. It adjusts to your skin tone. Sort of like the Dior blush, and lip balm from last year. I wear #3 foundation in Armani, a good friend wears 5.5, and when she wears these they adjust to her tone perfectly.

Oh I remember that blush---I love that blush! It's the Awakening Blush, Rosy Glow (PetalPink)---great stuff!!!! I need to give it some love soon. Thanks for reminding
me about it!!!

Has anyone purchased the new "Yves Saint Laurent Chinese New Year Couture Palette, Hearts Profusion Edition" yet? Looks cute for Valentine's day but not sure I'd use the colors much as I'm still waiting for the Burberry gold eye palette to ship.

Are you referring to the palette with the little red hearts on it? It's super cute but the eyeshadow looks like a YSL palette I already have. If the e/s were unique to my collection I'd be all over it.

Just wanted to post my swatches from the Ombres De Jour palette in case anyone's interested

I was very pleased with the pigmentation. The colors are all very buildable and consistent. Can't wait to try this one out on the eyes ;-)

Thanks Ella for the swatches! The shades are really pretty but for some reason I don't get that must have feel lol! Guess I am skipping tis one!! I really wanted the lumiere de jour and it's not popped up anywhere not even on preorder. Also I am way tooooo excited for Armani spring collection!!

You have to follow your gut! Or as @Medgal07 says, the makeup heart knows what the makeup heart wants

I think what got me about this palette is the pop of pink. I can't wear a lot of pinks, especially eyeshadows, because they either don't show up on me or they just do.not.work with my skin tone. But neutrals with a pop of pink? Just might work. We'll see!

And that Armani spring collection. Well you know I was all flushed over the eye tints. I may need oxygen when the spring line pops up online!

edit: P.S. I have NO idea what is up with that lumiere de jour. I might be excited about it if showed up anywhere!

They're new from the Fall and since the launch was apparently marked "TOP SECRET" somewhere, it's no surprise you didn't see them. There's a photo that someone found several pages back here and then a couple of months later they suddenly started appearing in stores. Worst. Marketing. Ever.

Stunning! Thanks for the swatches. I have been eyeing this. Hope you love it!

Strange to hear that. I've seen them at my counters 'suddenly', with the old ones gone without notice. I thought that happened only in my counters.

I checked it out in person and it's very nice.

I hope you like your choices!!

I'm interested in the highlighter...I just wish the compact was pink like the eyeshadow!

Oh, me too!! There was a highlighter that came out a couple of years ago, Northern Lights maybe? It was gorgeous but it never came to the states. I hope that's not the case with this one.......

Thanks for the link....interesting......they must've botched their launch as well.....I can't wait to get mine!

I'm pretty sure we're not getting Lumiere de Jour. I've been on the lookout for that for a while and haven't seen it - but it's already up at sites overseas, like Harrod's, Feelunique, Selfridges. Combine that, with the fact that the collection is already rolling out into stores/online tells me we won't be getting it. Or Nuit Noire La Laque Couture. Haven't seen that either.

hboy: I don't know why we don't get the nice illuminators. First Guerlain's spring one... And now possibly this. Sigh. They'd make a lot of money. I love a pretty illuminating powder!!

I'm on the hunt for a new one. I recently swatched Becca's... And, surprisingly.. I didn't really like any of them. Though the formula felt amazing though!

I rarely reach for my Becca. I don't even remember the name of the one I have. I guess I liked it enough to buy it. But it sits in one of my makeup drawers unloved. I like my Chanel & a few other brands so much more. I think there are much nicer ones out there. I have oily skin and after using othes I could see that my Becca wasn't near as flattering on my skin. Of course it's not the brand but the product itself. I try not to look at those little prettiness (but of course I do) when I read posts about a lovely new one in a collection as they become addictive. I hope you find one or more that you fall in love with.

The formula is GREAT. That was a very pleasant surprise for me because I had no experience with this brand. I would say their formula is superior
to some high-end highlighters. My favs are Opal, Topaz & Rose Gold, all pressed. Don't waste your time w/Champagne Gold---it's the color of polenta!!!
