Anybody not like Lure?

[princess]

I was so excited for this collection but was disappointed when I finally got to test them at the counter.

Bait is just like any other pink l/g I have (have tons! plus it looked frosty to me), and I hated Sex Ray's chunky glitters. Mancatcher looks like a deeper version of Lovely Lily pigment, Aquavert is a pretty light green but nothing special.

Can't be bothered with the blushcreme and fluidline.

So I only got Waternymph e/s and Pink Clash lipglass, I thought I was going to haul this one. (Mancatcher e/s, Sex Ray and Bait l/g were originally on my list) But I'm satisfied enough with what I bought, and the prettttttttttttty packaging.

Waternymph = Tease N Teal (as someone mentioned earlier)

They are identical.

if the waternymph isn't enough of a contrast, i darken the outer corner with black tied or contrast.

I got Mancatcher and Seamyth as the girl behind the counter said they would enhance my eye colours (one is green, the other is blue). Once I got home and had a chance to try them on, I was dissappointed. I've always stuck with the pink/gold/peachy tones (sometimes I put some greens on my lower lid), and these eyeshadows definately drained the colour out of me. Didn't go well with my bronzy skin tones (nc25 but tanning). I returned the eyeshadows today and purchased another Gleam and Paradisco. I did however, purchase the Bronzing Powder in Golden from the Lure Collection. I really love the aqua shimmery compact it comes in and it def. gives my skin a lovely sun kissed look.

purple colours just don't look good on me.

I wasn't too impressed with the Lure collection. I can't do pale lip colors (I've got pale NW20 skin and nearly unpigmented lips) because they wash me out or given me a no-lip look and I hate glitter (not shimmer, but anything where I can feel the particles on my lips) in lip products, so most of the lip stuff was out for me. And I was very disappointed that for a collection that already had 2 repromotes among their eye shadows, the LE shades had easy substitutes. I agree with those who said Waternymph is too similar to other Teal shades to own. It may have some difference, but it's so close that you wouldn't notice when you're actually wearing it with other eye shadows.

I ended up buying Mancatcher, Haunting and Delphic. Mancatcher isn't super unique, but I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would. It's not special or even particularly interesting in the pan IMO, but it's flattering with my skin and eyes and I didn't have a similar color. Haunting and Delphic are pretty, but I'm not sure I would have been in a rush to purchase them had they not been LE. They're fairly sheer and paler for what I generally prefer for eye liner, but they look nice along my lower lashline (though I have to draw the line several times to get enough color) and as shadows or shadow bases.

I just felt more blah toward this collection than most, which surprises me as it's been very popular. I don't love every collection that comes out, but usually there's at least one item I'm really tickled with. Not so for Lure!

i feel so on the edge about this collection, most stuff looks pretty on the pots but looks blah on me, either too chalky or a completely glittery mess, the only thing i was ABOUT to buy was pink clash lipglass, but i realized it is the EXACT same color as VGV lipglass but with a lot of chunky silver glitter... i'll stick with my VGV better.

i really wanted to get something because of the cool boxes, but i guess this was just not meant to be for me.

I bought alot from this collection.. and actully ended up returning all but pink clash, and the two blush creams.. oh and pink resort got a few backups for that its so pretty.. but that was bait, I'm really not an eyeshadow gal lately either.

waternymph is to close to teal pigment
sea myth and mancatcher look to to close to vanilla and pink opal
idol eyes.. well I dont like it sorry...
everything is just to close

lipglass with that much glitter made me feel like I was licking sandpaper (sex ray)

awww so sad you guys didn't like this collection i loved it all of it hahaha i got waternymph only but i got maidenchant and the other blushcreme i can't rem and i loved the mousses they are the shit for evening out skintone (i am nc 45) so i do think both these collections were made for all skintones...i love sex ray it is suck a great color over sundressing l/s it looks great i was so happy with lure bait and hooked they were all great to me

I thought I posted in this thread...

Aquavert is now my new favorite eyeshadow. That and Waternymph looks SO good on me, I must say

I have been wearing it nearly every day.
Which is a shame, because everything else is gathering dust.
I also might add, that Phosphorelle is a MUST!
I bought Delphic, but it's practically dried out
The lid was unscrewed; it made me pout

And there's my (partially) unintentional Lure poem.

I didn't buy anything from this collection either. I'd rather spend my money on the she-shines collection (or at least I'm praying I will like them).

Sex Ray looks so dark in the tube, and we are the same skintone. What do you think? I'm so on the fence about it.

 

[ralenth]

I am NW15 and I adore Lure even though I can be skittish about bright colors at times. I've been complimented both times I wore it out (including the much vilified Haunting, which makes a great base).

 

[scentofevil]

me! nothing in the new collection caught my eye at all. i'm not into bright cool colors at all. the only thing that was remotely attractive was the waternymph. that's it.

I love Lure
