I got Begonia lipstick, it's a pretty fuschia. They have a red that's hot as well but I like my reds to be matte.

I don't recall seeing any lipstick swatches. Strange.

I had posted some links with swatches over time but there were really too few reviews for me to commit to buying anything, plus some folks here and there mentioned a weird scent with the lipsticks. The last swatches I looked at were these when I was looking into the powder: http://makeupandbeauty.com/gucci-makeup-an-introduction-photos-swatches/ http://makeupandbeauty.com/gucci-lustrous-glow-foundation-review-swatch/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+IndianMakeupAndBeautyBlog+%28Indian+Makeup+and+Beauty+Blog%29

Thanks for sharing. This collection is still an easy skip for me. There is nothing unique about any of the shades here.

I agree with you guys; it's like they did the release in secret. They didn't provide any bloggers with press samples to my knowledge, so it's taking some time for swatches to get out there. I have purchased a couple of items and I will say they are lovely. What was helpful was going to a counter. I was lucky to get to the one in NYC. I love the 3 quads I got, and the brow pencil. I also bought a blush (Spicy Petal), Lipstick (Sinful Blush) and Gloss (Royal Petuna). They are pretty good, but not earth shattering. The blush is harder in texture than Charlotte Tilbury and Tom Ford, but it's pretty nonetheless. The lipstick is ok. It's creamy. The gloss is good; not stucky at all, but both lip products do have a distinct smell, and the gloss has a bit of a taste. I don't find it offensive, but I'm sure lots of people would.

Everyone I know love what they bought from the line and I'm certainly going to get more when I get time to go play around at the counter. I get so many compliments when I pull out the lipstick.

Thanks for the info! I thought the eyeshadow singles looked nice. The only thing truly on my radar is the powder.

Anytime!
I'm going to look into the singles too when I go back to Saks. The issue with me and singles is I tend to gravitate more towards the quads; things already put together for me. I'm not sure I've ever finished a single... Ever.
I have heard amazing things about the bronzer and finishing powder. I plan on at least swatching both, possibly getting the setting powder with the foundation (if they have one that matches me).

Has anyone heard about a limited edition collection coming out? There is a blue polish on Saks site. I did some research and came up with a list of products but now I can't find it. I thought it was on Chic Profile but I don't see it now. Any info?

I saw the polish and thought the same thing. I just did a Saks order so I could get the Beauty event bag. Hopefully they don't bring several LE stuff out right now!

Funny thing is . . . I went on the Chic Profile site and saw a promotional pic of the new products that I had seen before but it is on an advertisement of the Saks site that I had previously visited. I don't know where that info went.
