I have no will power. I ordered the Runway Collection from NM website. Hopefully it will work. If not, gives me an excuse to haul my butt over to Neiman's to return it.

I hope you love it!!!!

I'm w/you Lauren! I love the Eye Tints so much. The only reason I'm not wearing one today is because I'm trying out one of my new Tom Ford duos.
I have 6 like you---I gave myself that limit---I was briefly masquerading as someone with self control!

Once I tried one of these I forgot what "self control" meant and suddenly I ended up with six.

Same thing happened with the TF Lips and Boys. Except there I ended up with twelve.

Me too, I had to have 12....

 

[Medgal07]

Oh I don't know what to do. I finally decided to wear my lone eye tint for the first time and swiped it on only to see it was Rose Ashes. Oh I asked for the peachy one. I don't know the name. I think they are both duochromes so I know they were easy to mix up. The store I bought it from didn't even have a display and they kept rolling off the counter while I was swatching. I already have Rose Popilia and I figured I'd end up buying this anyway but it would have been the last one I bought if I liked the formula. Don't know what to do.

As for the Runway collection. I'm considering it. I really like the idea of the lipstick and want to see if it works for me. As for the palette, they are my colors but I'm not sure about the highlighter for me. I'll probably cave.

Oh no! Do you dislike the color on?

Let's just face it

I have played with the eye tints at Neiman's. I am just not sure, since I have hooded eyes. Lovely colors, and I do have all 25 of the singles from last summer. Yes, I ordered the ones not sold in the US from Selfridges. I still laugh, I get the stuff from Selfridges faster then I do when I order from firms/stores in the US.

I am waiting for 604 to be released in the gloss and lipstick.....ugh

The color is nice just not what I thought. I was very unsure of the formula. How much to put on? Do I need a primer? I will play around with it more. I wanted a color that I could wear everyday since I wanted to stick to one until I saw how much I liked the formula since I know cremes can be tricky.

I can't wait to try the eye tints! I just saw them on a website I love to order from but they cost £5 more than they do on Harrods and the official website

I emailed them, it's probably a mistake.

I find that they don't take too long to dry! If you do a very thin coat and let them dry with your eyes closed for a minute, they shouldn't smear all over. I find once they are dry I can pat / touch my eyes and they don't transfer. They stay fabulously for me and don't fade!

I wanted to try to order Sapphire Spider, but it's so expensive compared to here. (And even here, they're $40cad.)

If it's any help, my eyes are quite hooded and I haven't had a creasing problem. I look down while they're drying but it seriously hasn't been an issue.

 

[ashievic]

I love to use liquid eyeliner, but I have to hold my eyes in the half open position for a couple of minutes to dry. I will try this out in the store, and see how they work. Hooded eyes can be pain.

BRACE YOURSELVES. Part of the Fuchsia Maharajah collection is up and in stock on Bloomies! I had a really hard time finding it again by searching the site so I'll link you. So far all 3 REs and all 3 Flash Lacquers are up. Still waiting on the Rouge D'armani and the nail polishes.

REs: http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/armani-rouge-ecstasy-maharajah-collection?ID=1287643&CategoryID=2921#fn%3Dspp%3D2

A few swatches.

If you scroll down, you'll see a nice swatch and lip swatch of the Flash Lacquer in 511 Pink Blush http://www.metrohk.com.hk/pda/pda_detail.php?section=daily&id=262008

If you scroll down, you'll see swatches of the RE 511 Pink Blush, and the Flash Lacquer 512 Maharajah http://barbiekaren.blogspot.com/2015/02/8.html

I just used Command-F (or whatever the "find" function is on your computer) and searched for 511 or 512 - quickest route to the swatches)

No way! Seriously Ella. I got my puppy from a breeder in Missouri. I flew in & out the same day with her and a "bible" full of instructions along w/her papers.
I hit the puppy lottery because she's just the sweetest little thing.

That is so funny. My dog is precious and amazing too - must be something in the water out there in Missouri!

 

[ashievic]

I am officially broke, but I will look pretty!!!! I ordered 604 in the lipstick and gloss, thanks so much.....I think. Get back to me as I am eating buttered noodles until payday.

Three of my four dogs came from MO too. Then I have the Russian Queen, who rules the house. Doesn't everyone got through 40 pounds of dog food a week? Total weight for all four is around 600 pounds. If dog hair was money, I would never have to work again.

LOL, well my dog is an only child and she is definitely Queen of my house! Speaking of dog hair, I went to the store the other day and the cashier asked me if I had a cat because of the hair on my coat. I told her my dog can out-shed any cat thankyouverymuch LOL. ;-)

Just tried Rose Ashes again on top of my faded Mac Eclair paint pot. I put it on a bit heavier this time. I really like it. It really pops. It is still pretty pink on me though. I probably will end up at the store I bought it tomorrow. I may try the Flannel color again just to see the difference. I guess I will have to buy another eye tint now. I don't know which one I should get.

As for the Maharajah collection - when it rains it pours. I didn't really mind waiting for this collection. Too many wants right now.

I have 2 cats too...needless to say I use a Dyson daily. Yes, had to "borrow" Daddy's credit card. Quietly got it out of his wallet while he was napping on the couch after dinner....
