I did a lipstick change from my new NYX gloss to ER. Hehehe. Like usual I'll forget about it when the next thing comes along

While Oh Darling is VERY pretty, I think Shaft of Gold is stunning on deeper skintones. Such a rich, warm shade!

Interesting observations from WOC that Shaft of gold is more complimentary on us than Oh Darling. I can't wait to try it.

I got it yesterday, wearing it today! LMAOOOOO! Pic is in the gallery. You know I don't play.

Yup, different formulas, a page or so ago I quoted my post from yesterday for @pinkcrush where I spoke about OD not getting on my fan brush how I wanted it to just like Bobbi Brown's Bronze Glow. Same formula it seems. I needed a dense contour brush for that one. Today with SoG I went straight to another brush and it worked great. I wasn't sure if that was why, the brush change, but it's actually the fact that they're different formulas like you're saying.

I'll try that because I was using it with my fan brush and nothing was coming onto the brush. I'll try it with something else tonight and see how it works...my SoG is so nice though.

I had made a phone purchase so not to miss out but upon swatching I was like wtf lol

It can work but I would probably love it more if it was a B2M...but as a LE? Nope, it wasn't worth the hype and definitely not worth the extra LE surcharge...

 

[Vandekamp]

Is anyone still lookinf for OD?

I think I am going to be okay my dear. I was able to grab SOG and OD today at my local Mac. I will need to sell my extra OD and SOG too.

Ok so I tried on ER and like her a lot better now. I figured out wut she looks like... Shes very close in color to Bust Out which is a lustre... She is obviously more pigmented being a matte and seems a tad warmer... T-B Bust Out, Evening Rendezvous

Crappy cell phone picture but this is OD with a light layer of SOG. I'm am Nw55.

I used the Real Techniques Setting Brush that girls here recommended for the Colourpop ones which are cream-based. I was using my fingers to apply them and wanted another way, lol.

Ok cool - I have that brush so I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I agree with u but she's cuter on trust me

You're not alone. I loved ER, but I'm not wowed by OD. It's nice, but not anything special or unique.

I need to read this a couple of times so I will skip OD. :lol: Because I already have WOG and I apply highlighter pretty lightly anyway so I don't think I'd see the difference. But all those lovely swatches make me want OD again lol. But I'm definitely gonna get ER!

Ooh Bust Out. :heart2: It behaves more like a cremesheen on me so I love that one.

 

[Sweetyellow]

I agree...but i noticed my SoG is more buttery and smooth...OD for me was harder to get on my brush - I think I may have gotten a bad batch or something.

I said the same thing a page or two back. I think it maybe due to the color formulation or something?

 

[alle685]

I agree with u but she's cuter on trust me

I did try it on and I still was like "meh"...lol I'll have to play around with lip liners and see...I'm still keeping them though - no doubt about that!

Woyyyyy! Hotness!! Love it!

 

[alle685]

I agree.

Maybe - I'm glad to know its not me. Oh well, it's still pretty so I was suggested to use a different brush so hopefully that'll help.

 

[Vandekamp]

IMO, Shaft of Gold is the real winner between it and Oh Darling! It's soooooooo beautiful! I also find that mixing the two creates this AMAZING glow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will certainly give that a try.

 

[keridabeenfabb]

love it L-R OD,SOG,ER..... I like SOG and OD is nice too it's all about the application of it. It could be a nice blush topper too because it's metallic look

 

[Vandekamp]

I know I'm not the only one NOTTT wowed by Evening Rendezvous... She's just ok to me
