Bimbos unite!

[Sanayhs]

Yeah... I'm just waiting on my haul part two to show up.

...which means I will have at least one of everything except for Creme Cerise and the nail polishes. <3

I love So Scarlet more than words. My boyfriend thinks it's too dark.

Red Enriched cremestick liner makes it deeper and richer, where as beet lip pencil just helps to keep it red rather than pink (which my body chemistry turns it when it is alone on me).

I am in loooooooooooove.

Smudged Violet and Lightfall show up just fine on me! Maybe it helps that I used Beige-ing shadestick as my base when I wore that quad the other night? I love Smudged Violet, though.

This is the collection where I hauled like I've never hauled before.

I'm going to go read now, rather than sit here and listen to cussing at video games.

I'm still loving the blushes, too. I just love this collection. I'm sorry, I can't help it. I know most people are having issues with blooming being too light, but for me, it's perfect. and plum du bois is gorgeous, and in the sun the shimmer just goes crazy, but it's super fine so it's not scary. and just... ahhhh. I could go on forever about this collection. *loves*

Nope, I don't own a single lip product from the perm line. I just don't have the money to get perm stuff when there is all this LE stuff, and I can't even get all the LE stuff that I want due to my hours getting cut further and further back. I mean I am going to be damn lucky to get to 20 hours this week.

oh god samantha, you have me so psyched for this collection---lol i'm thisclose to ordering some more.....though i'm pissed i didn't swatch any mattenes/lippies. *bad Hannah*

katie--those looked like great piggies you bought! blonde's gold had my eye too, though i have far too many light pigments full jars that i feel ill never get through so i managed to resist. but antique green *swoon*. museum bronze reminded me so much of cocomotion which i just got, so i resisted as well.

but am REALLY tempted to go and give the lippies a chance (I mean seriously, what was i thinking not EVEN SWATCHING?) I get marking-exams-money tomorrow! rock on!!!

He really does. I saw him last about ten years ago, so he would've been around 57 yrs old i think, and he just didn't stop for the entire show! It was great! My brother was never a huge fan of Neil Young's and thought he was too folksy, but even he had to admit after seeing him live that the man totally rocks! I really hope I can see him this winter.

Thank you TamEva! That picture is one of my favourite pictures of my son. If you were to actually see it up close you would see just how big that smile was on his face! And he was only 3.5 months then! *Sigh*, they just grow up too fast.

Oooh - how is copperbeam? Thats the one I got - well it comes tomorrow

 

[stv578]

Samantha! I haven't seen you this excited about any collection since I've known you (though admittedly, it hasn't been that long, but still!). Amazing haul! Hope you enjoy everything!

I also checked out the new collection that I won't name (haha) and for once did not pick up the pink lippie (Lightly Ripe), as I felt it was so underwhelming. I ended up getting the Tempting quad, Kirsch mattene, Cherry Blossom l/g and Vintage Gold pigment as planned. However, to my surprise I also picked up Blooming Blush!!! I am also sending DH tomorrow to pick up *gasp* So Scarlet l/s and believe me when I tell all of you I do not own a single red l/s at the moment, but it was gorgeous! And liqueur l/g as well. I forgot my pots today, and I'm pretty sure the f/s store near my work doesn't taking depots. I'm also waiting on the Spiced Chocolate quad!

Considering this morning felt like a fall day weather wise, it just felt right getting richer fall shades.

 

[gigglegirl]

so scarlet, the swatches. so stunning!! very.tempted.

Adina--I hope your event is going awesome!! Thinking of you and sending good vibes.

You guys are UBER naughty, me loves it. CoC.....

Copperbeam--it really looked like a sweet chocolate type colour, a tinge of copper but not much, on me it was a lot more chocolate looking.

oooh, that sounds just like what i wanted - pretty.

yeah, everybodys been a little naughty today

 

[gigglegirl]

so i was reading the CoC thread and saw Audrey got two of the mattenes, and I'd LOVE to try and recreate that Kate Hudson look.

Tomorrow=shadowy lady for sure, but mattenes, i will swatch and we shall see

 

[coachkitten]

Oh I forgot that Adina is doing her Bebe event today! Good luck Adina!!

Cult of Cherry lipglass is soooo freaking gorgeous! I haven't used it on my lips yet but in the tube it is the prettiest red I have seen in a LONG time!

 

[BrokefromMAC]

Holy crap! Ok I am so lost right now. I was planning on B2M for So Scarlet but I read in the COC thread that you can't B2M for limited edition!!! Um can anybody tell me what the story is cause I thought alot of you ladies out here were able to do that. If not I am going to be very sad.

 

[gigglegirl]

you can b2m for LE's, those are the only ones I've ever gotten. 2 mattenes, um 2 other lippies, ones even in LE packaging like orange, or whatnot

Just cannot B2M for a free viva glam lipstick!

Just be warned, there are just some counters/stores that have workers that aren't hip to the fine details of the rules.

 

[darkishstar]

Okay!!! I'm back!

Got:
-Spiced Chocolat
-Tempting
-CoC (B2M)
-Liqeuer

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE CoC!!!! My bf said.. "I like it, you look like a Geisha."

HAHAHHA. I thought it was so cute/funny when he said, though despite that, he wished he could kiss me, but didn't want red gloss all over his lips. Poor thing!

And yes... sadly, I chickened out on Kirsch or Bing. I didn't want to try them on with my bf there, too self-conscious/shy. So I'll try them on when I get back to my own free-standing on Tuesday. Hopefully they'll still have them left. Though.. from how you guys are posting, it seems doubtful! I think Kirsch would probably be the better choice though.

But yes, had a good day today.

Other than Red Romp, I totally agree that this is THE prettiest red I have ever seen. I'm so tempted to get a back-up, but no way. I swore against back-ups!

I didn't pick up Lightly Ripe either, I felt it was SO blah, and didn't show up at all on my skin when I swatched it. How do you like Kirsch? I'm wondering if I should try it. Hahahahaha. Still haven't yet, bad me. I really should have. Darn me being self=conscious. Hahahahaha.

I was able to B2M for CoC today, so it should be fine.

Yay for another great haul! Everyone seems to be having fun with the collection today!

So totally go back and try at least one of the dark mattenes. You'd be surprised at what you could pair them with. I think I may go back for Chock-ful and Bing! I used to have a BB lipstick that was a fairly dark brown and I'd top it off with a shimmery pink gloss and it looked amazing! Okay, I just talked myself into to *talks to self... "you enabler you"*!

 

[BrokefromMAC]

I am searching hard for a dupe of Smudged Violet, and I read in a forum that the Mauvement piggie looks like it. I haven't seen the pigges in person, do you all think it looks close? The MAC site describes the pigment as a taupe, so I dont see how that looks purple, but maybe im wrong

I loved the lg's although Cherry Blossom swatched too light for me, I already have so many pinks. I was really eyeing Bing and Kirsh. I put on my So Scarlet with Jampacked tonight, my word that is a sexy lip!

It's a lot to live upto methinks.

No you definitely are not. I thought hmm wonder what collection that was from?

Also I have a suggestion for a motto. It comes from a British comedy I love called Vicar of Dibley and I just thought it was kinda fitting given our discussion the other night

"All comers all welcome in the bosom of our bosoms"

I just watched it last night and that quote made me think of this thread.

I just swatched my mauvement, not a great dupe. Will you be going into MAC or ordering online?

Im just going to order online I think. What color Jane is a good dupe? Oh and where do they sell that brand? I can't say I heard of it. I was so hoping it was a dupe lol.

 

[kobri]

It's in a duo I have called Heather 1&2. They mainly sell at salons/spas/ online I think.
