Hi, dear! I'm still mulling over this line.
I'm tempted to start with the eye pencil but $32. before tax for a pencil that has to be sharpened? Hmmm.

The collection is up on Gucci.com. It does display limited edition on some items, but not all.

A good review of the teal pencil. Gulp.

I'm looking forward to the turquoise one from Clarins, #03 Aquatic Green

I have eye allergies but Clarins has worked for me sometimes.

Oh, those look gorgeous! Do the Clarins pencils smudge on you? I love green and teal liners lol The MJ Intro(vert) is lovely and I have two Ruby Kisses and one Milani teal liner but no luck yet with a black pencil/liner so I'm eyeing the Gucci. Yikes.

The Clarins waterproof eye pencils are very long lasting, but will smudge a bit by the end of the day.
They have goof reviews on Nordies:

They had 4 shades in Australia, but are going to only have black as a permanent one as of this year.
I'm not sure if the new Khol ones are long wearing as I returned the 2 I bought due to irritation.
In my pre-allergy days, this was my favourite extremely long lasting waterproof liner:

They had a gorgeous Teal shade called Curacao, the US Version was Teal

From memory, Estee Lauder Double Wear makes long lasting eyeliners, and they have released a whole new range of shades:

I must be saving a tonne of money due to my eye allergies lol- but I think I am overcompensating with my other spending!

Both products look really good here.
I finally figured out where I'd seen the spring collection pic. It was in a Saks catalog. Not in the spring collection but I'm really curious about the Metallic Sand color. I will check it out next time I'm in the store. I believe there is a lipstick, gloss and nail color in this shade.

I finally tried the Gucci blush I received weeks ago, in Pink Camelia.
I was amazed just looking down at the brush at how much pigment had been picked up.
It applies very smoothy, blends nicely, and the brush is decent.
I love the compact, it has a luxurious look and feel.
Overall I was very impressed.
I want Corail Flower next.

Hey ladies! I took the opportunity to do a small Gucci haul with Neiman Marcus during their beauty event. With all the snow issues in the north east, I just got my packages yesterday. I was so excited to see everything. I opened my duo in Sunset, and it was clear this wasn't new:
It's like a big thumb print in the purple color. I called Neiman Marcus and they refunded me, but wouldn't send me a new one; I have to order it again.
I also got a Single in Iconic Gold: I swatched that; Not my fav. I also found that the texture of this was quite different from the quads. Not sure if NM will take it back, but I'm going to try. If not, I guess I'll find a use for it.
I also got the Gucci GWP which was the makeup bag and a mini mascara. My other full size item was an eye pencil in Midnight blue. I didn't photograph that, but it's beautiful and the texture is super soft. Can't wait to have an occassion to wear a blue eye pencil.

Thanks! Me too! I'm not as familiar with NM and their return policy as I am with Nordies. I'm hoping they value my business enough to take back this single.
