yes ma'am it is!  I will wear green tomorrow too! Just looked up Gothica, it's pretty.  This sounds gorgeous.   I wish you captured the pic. I'm looking up that quad now. Awww thank you!  I loved it so much, I can't wait to wear it again.  I also ignore T now.  ALWAYS.  I look at swatches, but don't pay attn to reviews.  I would've missed so much stuff based on her dark/light skin recs.  You're no artist, you don't know what's going to work.  This past weekend I ended up wearing Fix on Drama all weekend.  I didn't mind, this is freaking gorgeous.  But I didn't put together my looks and had to use what I had when I was out and about.

I know what you mean about not listening to her advice. I just look at the pics since she kinda standardizes them reltive to her other pics. In a similar vein, many artists also arent much use when it comes to recommending makeup for different skin tones. There are only certain ones who are open minded enough to not just recommend the same boring gold/bronze/brown eye shadows, russet blush and matte burgundy lipstick...

Oooooh which eye tint did you use? I love it! It's looks like a blue/navy toned gunmetal shade.

Hi [@]Shars[/@], the shade is 'Shadow' and it's really lovely! Very silvery/grey with hints of lilac in the light. It didn't wear off yesterday but came off very easily when I was removing my makeup. It's no.7 below http://naturalnchicmakeup.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/IMG_3858w.jpg

Today I'm wearing Cargo HD pressed powder with three shades from the YSL Fétiche palette, Guerlain Cils d'Enfer and Chanel Beige Felin

I just swatched it, the matte shades don't look very good. I have two other quints and I'm not impressed with the quality. The quads are amazing though. I looove the City Drive Classy, it's one of my most used palettes.


PS I'm talking about the old quints, I hope the formula of the new ones is better

I'm ok with the matte shades. I used the black and the pointy applicator for lining and it was decent. Sorry that it's not wowing you (at that price point, I have been there). I have four of the couture palettes and at first was really excited but I have a pigmentation and wear issue with a few of the shades here and there. There are some shades I really love, though, and some are beautifully curated but they're not all perfect like my beloved Burberry Gold No25 lol

I have to try it on, the bronzey shade looks amazing. I bought it at half price, so at least I didn't spend too much money on it

I'll stick to the Wet&Dry quads then. I don't have anything from Burberry, I don't think I've even seen a display. I googled the palette and it looks beautiful!

Half price is good lol The bronze is my favourite. That Burberry palette is gorgeous. It immediately became my favourite palette.

During the winter sales in the UK, YSL and Guerlain always have their LE at half price. 90% of my Guerlain stuff is bought like that and I have quite a lot - bronzers, es palettes, Rouge Gs, other lipsticks... I have to wait to buy what I want but why would I spend almost £50 on a bronzer, when I know that it will be £23 in a few months. The LE meteorites are the only product I haven't seen because they sell out, when they are released. I'm a student, so that's my way to buy more pretty things lol

I've been on theme but not posting daily. I like being committed to a different palette everyday. Maybe we should try a different blush everyday for the month of April

Any one up for that???
Thursday I wore my YSL Bleus Lumière Eye Shadow Collector Palette and used all 5 shades. It was a bit of a challenge but I did it and it didn't look outrageous.
