so happy to hear

i hope they don't think to make it LE

You were right about how lovely & glowy it is. We don't really know if it is LE or not?

Here is the ingredients list. Too cloudy for powder pics. I'm not sure that it would even do any good as the powder is so light.

Thank you very much elegant-one. That’s very helpful. Happy to hear the shade is right for you.

Calling all saran wrap lips I just got the #2 Deep Pink....it's pretty but very barely there. They do make the lips soft. I wish they didn't do the perfume smell/taste to them. I like them but think I prefer the Chanel LB lip balms much more.

I finally received these balms today. Oddly enough, I think the Ecstasy Shine Lipsticks are more hydrating and balm-like than the dang balms.

That's possible lol. Did the color show up on your lips?

No, so you know these have almost no color! I tried the lightest and middle shades. The plum one hasn't arrived yet.

Yep, & there are lots of bad reviews about that. The plum does have subtle color & it's quite pretty on. Geesh, did no one test these before they launched them
I was really disappointed the the pink medium had no color to it.

At least if they were the most moisturizing balms, I could forgive the lack of color, but...?
It's always shocking when a subpar product at this price point makes it to market.

I agree. It's hard to understand how this happens. It could have been a great product. I loved the case.

I got to swatch almost everything this weekend plus I got 5 out of the 6 items I ordered. The mail lost lip balm #2 which is hard to get but I found another today.
The blushes are accurately called watercolor for a reason. They are beautiful shades but are sheer. Extremely light weight & very natural looking on. They are Flushes instead of blushes lol. The Tan highlighter is a pale beautiful rose gold. Unfortunately it disappeared on my skin. The other yellow highlighter shade is a pretty light gold & really not that yellow. The lip balms are very sheer but are still a hint of color & pretty & very very lip softening. I have not received the face powder yet but the swatch I did was a bit lighter than my skin tone but I think it will still work.

Thank you all for all the feedback and ideas on this collection. I just saw it on Insta this morning and I was all

After reading, I realize I should skip the lip products and need the powder.

Elegant-one, did you (or anyone) swatch the contour liquid? I love the liquid bronzer, so I'm thinking that I would love the contour as well. I'm so disappointed about the rose gold highlighter disappearing on you. I have that problem with a LOT of highlighters so I'm guessing that will happen to me too. Maybe I should just pick up the lighter one? Or is it pretty duplicative of a lot of other liquid highlighters (I have a lot of the Fluid Sheers). What do you think?

The powder is lovely on. It's not like any other powder I have. Soft blur finish with a beautiful subtle glow to it.
Yes, I did swatch the contour & at least on my arm, the shade looked nice. It's a medium regular looking shade of midtone cool brown contour...pretty typical shade but blends out nicely. The lighter highlighter is pretty, but the shade is like all the other highlighters in the pale light gold tones. The texture is lovely though.
The pink highlighter is super pretty in person! Sadly, once I blended it out, it matched my skin tone

I love the blushes. Very sheer blendable watercolor shades. I bought 50, 51 & 54. I'll see if I can get some good pics today. The balms, eh!!! What a miss on what could have been an amazing lip product. The tube is beautiful, but the light & medium have little to no color. Shade 3 the plum, is very pretty on my lips. It's almost like a pinky plum. The lighter one did give a pretty paler lip, but not sure if it's worth the $$ for that.

I think powder is a true must have from this launch. I am sad to hear that about lip balms , I will skip them then. Blush I haven't tried but I do like the highlighter - is it really unique? not really.

 

[patentg33k]

Thank you Elegant and Monsy!!! I found these pics too (apologies if these are already posted) of the blushes. The blush in the beautyprofessor's picture is listed as #50 .

 

[elegant-one]

Here is 50, 51, 54 left to right

Those blush swatches are so pretty!!

They are beautiful blush shades.

Managed to snag the blush in #30 and received it today - it’s really beautiful. Soft yet bright for the warmer weather and had no issue showing up on my darker complexion as I’d feared. Looking into getting #53 next when available.

ooh,I like a couple of those!

if those are the replacements for the eyes to kill silk shadows (that were unfortunately discontinued), i'm happy but still sad haha. forever hoping that GA will realize the errors of their ways

I didn't realize those eyes to kill were discontinued. I didn't realize quite a few things were discontinued. They have gotten rid of quite a few things I liked. Armani has not been wowing me lately.
