That looks pretty TP. I got the blue one and it's awesome!!!! It creates nice soft understated looks---not crazy blue overdone old lady looks. It's nice!!!

You have the skills of course,
) Ambre Nuit has 5 colours belonging to the same range, that's why it looks easier, and I skipped that one lol

Wondering whether any of you has the Versailles Palette and if so how you like it? I've been on the fence for a while. When I was younger, I loved metallic shades and am still drawn to them, but trying to be more conservative as I get older, but the shades are very neutral-- so not sure.You're right dear friend----I went w/safe & easy. I really need to challenge myself more!!!!!

It's the same with this one. I can use the purple in my crease and it doesn't look crazy. I'll do a look with it soon and post the pics.

Both dior and chanel are going bolder this fall.stock images for cosmopolite
Well, that just made things more difficult. i dont know what to say about the quints. i love both. and the liquid shadows, i like all. the nail colours i feel like i already have all of these colours even in dior brand, but ill get miroir probably. maybe metropolis and cosmopolite, if theyre different enough from what i already have. liquid shadows will retail around 30€, according to comparisons withthe other regular prices. around the same as monos.

I got it. Ugh I love it. I don't know if late 20s is older for you.

Not quite. LOL.
And thanks-- glad to hear you love it. My BG SA wanted me in hardly any eye colors but pearl, silver, and gold-- and though I see his point, I over-ruled him. I can definitely wear lavender, green, teal, turquoise, mauve, and in summer some warmer tones. But maybe Versailles is my pearl, silver, and gold palette.

Versailles has a slot of shimmer. However, i really like it. If you feel overwhelmed, then just wear two at a time.

On another thought.
As usual, I get tired of the special topcoats really fast. However, I've found that Eclosion is fun to hide imperfections.
I highly recommend Sunwashed if you like yellows. It's a lovely soft colour. I can't consider it a neutral like a pink or a beige, but I think I can get away with it as a sorta "neutral".
I can't believe I managed to apply it without it looking horrible like any other the pastel yellows I have tried. Of course it looked kinda bad in the beginning, but after the third-fourth coat it looked really great. I have no skill so this is a huge feat.
I'm going to try with Diorlisse as base to have a colour base next time, it may look even better.

I did swatches for the 5 couleur 808 purple design the other day. I really love it! It's an everyday type quint so I'll be wearing it quite a bit now.
The top right is just a very finely milled glitter so after I do the colors I pat glitter glue on my lid and then pat the glitter over top of it when I want to give my eyes an extra kick.

Yes, I'll likely keep it and use it more discreetly. Probably will go to swatch it one more time before deciding for sure.

I have been very drawn to Sunkissed too. But 3 - 4 coats. Is it thin or thick in terms of consistency of the polish?

Miroir and the liquid shadows are still looking good. Waiting to see how the first reviews of the shadows are.

Both of the SUmmer quints were nice, and I honestly don't care for or go to the DIor quints.
I am interested in these liquid shadows though.

Oh great---looking forward to seeing the look. I think it's a good travel palette---you have every thing you need for your eye looks.Wondering whether any of you has the Versailles Palette and if so how you like it? I've been on the fence for a while. When I was younger, I loved metallic shades and am still drawn to them, but trying to be more conservative as I get older, but the shades are very neutral-- so not sure.
I wish I could help but I don't have that particular palette. I'm sure I have more neutral palettes than anything---hard to go wrong with nice neutrals.

We still haven't heard anything about the new Addict lipsticks. That's so weird.

I did the 3-4 thin, because I already had a few pastel yellows (a chanel and a nails inc) and that's the better way I could do those (all streaky ew). However, I saw on my 3rd that I could make it thicker. The consistency is very liquid (not runny) and somewhat dense. Junon (also gel) was just as liquid but more dense. It works well, better than any yellow I have or tried.
