Anybody not like Lure?

[dangerousmuffins]

Blasphemy... I know!

I been trying the all the shadow colors lately and they just seem to be very washed out on me. I will say I do like bright vivid colors on myself the most, but I was looking for colors to tone down my makeup image a little bit. But it really does seem like I'm not wearing anything when I put these colors on. Maybe, I'm just not used to it. *shrugs* I'ma NW20, BTW.

The only lipglass I got was Sex Ray. It seems okay, but it doesn't want to stay on my lips.

I do like the fluidline colors. I didn't get Nightfish, but I did get the other two.

I got Maidenchant, too. That seemed to be gone within a few hours off my cheeks. (I do use a primer, BTW). Back to my Ben Nye Blush Wheel I go, I guess.

The colors are so pretty in the pots, but not on me.

Anybody else disappointed?

I'm not dissapointed as such, although Aquavert didn't have as good a colour pay-off as I was expecting.

Though I agree my Maidenchant isn't very long wearing nor is my Sex Ray. I hate having to reapply very often mainly because I know I'll forget or just not be bothered!

I think the colors are incredibly pretty, but none of them will look very good on me (I have yellow undertones). How disappointing!

I got Waternymph, Mancatcher, and Idol Eyes e/s. I haven't used them, and I think I might end up returning them. I like the colors in the pot, but I don't think they will look that great on me. Maybe I'm just not used to the bright colors. I also bought Lure l/s, Bait, Pink Clash, and Sex Ray l/g and I'm okay with those colors. Sex Ray does wear off pretty fast, though!

I'm not feeling this line either...I already have a ton of colors that are very similar to the Lure ones...I guess I'll wait for the winter colors...

I didn't get the high as I expected when I open my gloss.com order. The colors are pretty but honestly, they are not really that special. Like I said in my reviews, a lot of e/s already have close matches in the existing shades. Waternymph is very very similar to Teal pigment and Tease n Teal from Holiday trend palette. I compared them side by side and seriously, it's so hard to tell a difference. Aquavert is just so pale and kinda close to lustreleaf. Mancatcher is really close to Lovely Lily without the pigment flash. But the most disappointing product I would say is Delphic. It looks extremely pretty in the pot but doesn't look as vibrant on my eye as it is in the pot.
Not that this collection is not pretty, but I was definitely hoping for more.

I haven't bought anything at all from Lure, there's nothing that really grabs me. I'm NW20 too so maybe it's just not good for us lol.

 

[velvet]

i got lure l/s but that is it
i am also nw30 or nc30 (not sure havent tried it on)
i might get phosphrelle also, but nothing else grabs me from the collection

 

[bebs]

I got lune and maidenchant and pink clash - I totally love these three they are great, but I also bought waternymph, aquavert, delphic and golden and I really dont like these colors and are majorly re thinking them and probley going to return them fairly soon.

 

[Shimmer]

waternymph was the only thing that made me go ooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[divaster]

Sorry this is OT but Velvet, I LOVE your avatar!!!

As for Lure, I'm NW20 as well and I found a few things that worked for me in this collection. Even Waternymph, and I never wear brights like that. The MA at MAC even complimented me on my shadow the day I wore it. I was floored!

Only thing I purchased from the entire collection.

I love this collections packaging and I'm truely upset that none of the other items did anything for me.

I did get Face & Body Bronze FX foundation from Hooked too, but I just wanted to *LOVE* this years summer introduction collection more than I do.

 

[Winthrop44]

I am pale with yellow undertones and green eyes and can't do teals or pastels, so I have been disappointed by a few collections lately. This one was the worst for me.

 

[Shimmer]

Yeah. I looked at it and was like ... "Eh...um. Ok...I'll take............THIS!"

Of course, my WALLET is happy.

Well, I'm N9/NW45 and quite frankly this collection and the Sundressing collection and Sweetie Cake are really not made for darker skintoned women. They make us looked washed out, pale, and ashy and all the pretty tones turn up as white/pale frosted glittery messes on me. It's even more frustrating that the one or two things that will work for me are not LE and so I already have them. I'm still laughing to myself about the artist who tried to sell me those bronzer mousses from Sundressing-Body by showing how much "browner and golden -not that icky orange you (?!?!) get-" it made her. It didn't even show up on me. I wish some of the more recent collections paid a little more attention to women of color. So much for all ages, all sexes, all races...

 

[Parishoon]

i didn't buy a SINGLE thing either, it was all to blah for me & waaay to easy to find a suitable or better dupe.

I'm a blonde NC20 and I was really excited about this collection, but I wasn't able to see it in person before I placed my order. Pastels usually look really good on me, so I was really excited. I bought:

Mancatcher e/s- nice, but very similar to lovely lily, it looks nice over silverbleu shadestick so I'll keep it I guess

Aquavert e/s - it's ok, seems very sheer, but it will probably look ok over shimmermint shadestick so I'll keep it

Sea Myth e/s - Returning it, I already hae Seedy Pearl

Haunting f/l - haven't tried it, but I'm returning it because of what I've heard on here

Nightfish f/l - I'm keeping this, not too harsh for my PPP complextion

Delphic f/l - haven't tried it, but I'm returning it because of what I've heard on here

Pretty Please l/s - I'm keeping this, even though I have sooo many pinks

Goddess l/s - I don't know about this, I would like to see a swatch

Phosphorelle l/g - I'm keeping this, it looks beautiful & I have nothing like it

Bait l/g - I already have a zillion pink lipglosses, but I'm getting low on an LE one I have that looks similar, so I'll keep it

Overall the collection was prettier in the packaging than it was in pictures, on faces and on hands. Some of the stuff I'm keeping is just basically because I don't want to make myself look bad by returning almost everything I bought. After getting my hands on this collection there is nothing that I couldn't live without. I think I've just got so much makeup now I'm dublicating almost everything I own. I think I should hold off from buying makeup for the next little while. I need to start using up some stuff.

OnaFrye: I definitely agree with you regarding Sweetie Cake and Relaxing. However, I don't think MAC is ignoring anyone. It's just that some shades work better on some than others. For example, I believe that the Ornamentalism collection was very pretty on darker skin tones. Jewelbright kind of washed out those with light lip pigmentation, etc.

I love Mancatcher, Sea Myth, Delphic and Stroke of Lust. I use my #209 brush for Delphic and it's the same shade on my lids than in the pot.

However, Maidenchant blush is too glittery and cool toned.
