Her older looks (going back a few years now) were never like that. I get that she wants to show what products look like without primer, but it's also nice to see them at their best. I think if someone has that kind of fading/ sheerness with their shadows under normal circumstances (I do!), they would be likely to use a primer every day (again, I do), whereas if someone didn't have fading issues, the colours wouldn't look like that on them anyway. I guess it's easy to criticize. I'm sure that if she went back to just using colours with primer, some of her readers would accuse her of "cheating".
I'm glad to know that other people's experiences have been different. This was the palette that really interested me, because of the unorthodox mix of colours. I really don't want to buy it if it's going to be a dud, since they're $70 in Canada. (Actually, they're $69.60.

I purchased Tentation and will do a look with it before the end of the month. I've only used it one other time andHer older looks (going back a few years now) were never like that.

think it was my favorite of the four Givenchy palettes that I purchased.

Agreed, but I really don't get how all of her eyeshadow looks come out soooo sheer, even understanding the no primer situation. It's bizarre to me. Is she taking the photos after 15 hours of wear? It's more incredulity than a criticism.her review makes no sense
all the swatches look great but on her eye everything looks so sheer
BUT every single eye look she does looks like that , like there is no pigmentation

I remember in her comments often people ask about sheerness and what primer does she use and she always says it's nars because it's her favorite
I am sorry but if you use a primer it should not look that sheer . She clearly doesn't know how to apply or uses wrong brushes

It does look sheer but maybe because her lighting is so bright and it ends up melting the shades. I don't get it too.

Even though I ordered the Rose Dressing one from feelunique I just ordered this as well. Fingers crossed on actually receiving it though, my Pourpre Inoui I pre-ordered last month was canceled. If the Fuchsia Irresistible pops up I'll order that one too.

I went to the purple dino site and all these Givenchy gorgeous nail colors were there too! Does anyone have experience with the Givenchy nail formula? I usually like Dior/Guerlain and other brands like OPI, Zoya, China Glaze. What do you think?

i ordered from the purple Dino site too and it went through like a regular order not a ore order. Did that happen with everyone else?

Yes it looks like a normal order, but I'm not expecting it to actually ship until the April date

Thanks for the heads up! I'm an April baby, so that stunning lipstick may just be my birthday present this year.

Did you receive it? I remember that someone had problems with this lipstick from feelunique, was it you? It's one of the top websites I order from and I've never had any problems, so I hope you get your lipstick
