Coup d'Chic is a pass for sure now, Summer Opal has just stolen my heart!

I'm sure you'll love it! No actual glitter like coup d chic apparently has!

So tired of swatches now. This needs to launch! Lol!

I agree, I don't want to wait any longer on this collection

 

[Kaipie20]

Need Summer Opal now!

 

[Dolly Snow]

I love this!

Summer opal and Linda from the Petit collection are the two things I'm most excited about

I really like the lipsticks from this collection but, I'm also kinda thinking I would rather spend my lipstick dollars on ABH Liquid Lipsticks. Decisions, decisions.

 

[allthingsglam]

I can't believe that I'm going to say this but I may be skipping the lipsticks in this collection and getting the VPF shadows. If they don't swatch the way I'm hoping than this collection is a skip for me.

I'm getting that shadow palette to its super pretty and I usually skip these I'm skipping the Bp to get the shadow palette

Ok, here is my mani with Sunset Tourmaline, all three pics are different lighting: As you may be able to tell, the formula is a little challenging. I think I may thin it before I use it again, or focus on using thinner coats. I had some patchiness and major bubbling. My ring finger came out pretty uneven. However, I LOVE the color. I don't think these pictures do it justice. Its base is kind of a marsala color, and there's a subtle pink flash that I couldn't capture in the pictures. It's got a lot of sparkle, which is mostly green. If you can get past the formula, it's a really pretty color. Hope this helps anyone thinking about picking it up!

a very pretty color I thought it had some plum in it irl is it any plum I'm hoarding the green polish I'm getting two

This is super pretty! Still haven't decided whether I'm picking it up or not.

Summer Opal kinda reminds me of the new Estee Lauder courreges highlighter....

It's hard to tell with the lighting, but is BK any pinker than TA? They definitely look similar, but perhaps you can give some insight as to any subtle differences. Thanks!

Wow, they are very close. I just have to decide whether having TA in a matte formula is worth it. Probably not if I'm honest with myself. This is super pretty! Still haven't decided whether I'm picking it up or not.

Me too. I'm so torn I know I want the palette and LJ though.... and the green polish and the bronze polish and BK and... the list goes on.

It would be an easy choice if I wasn't already saving my pennies for something else.

I totally understand. There are so many collections coming out I don't even want to think about fall! Plus there are so many other things in the world to think about.

I was iffy about Summer Opal, but i think these swatches have sealed it - going on my list, with Lavender Jade and Bao Bao’s Jewels e/s palette. And i think i'll skip the Cinderella Beauty Powder.

The tiniest bit pinker! TA is a little more orange but on the lips the slight differences go almost undetectable

 

[iqaganda]

I'm so tempted to grab Summer Opal!!
