Today I received the eye shadow palette from the holiday collection. The one that's in a croc case. Then I went and swatched it at nordstroms. The shadows were so hard and glittery. I'm gonna return my unopened one to Macy's. Very disappointed.

I like some BB products (I love her BB cream, Pot Rouges and Illuminating Bronzer) but I've never been impressed with her e/s palettes. The Surf and Sand was the same - the green and blue shades looked beautiful in the pan but they were just glitter and little pigment. Pass.

Pink Glow Highlighter - Not very "Pink" more of a very very slight pink champagne & VERY sparkley. In face, on me I pretty much only see sparkles all over my face :( Disappointed in it.

Oh noooo, I wish I would have seen this post before I placed my order on Nordstrom. Ehh...I guess I can always return it since they have free returns

Maybe it will work for you dear. See how mine looks all whitish in the whole center & then the champagne color just on the edges - I wonder if thats normal. I would love to know if you end up liking yours :)

[@]elegant-one[/@] what a bummer! Are you planning on returning it??? I was thinking of ordering it but now I don't think I will. I got the bronze glow in the mail from sephora and it is gorgeous! I thought it would be too dark but it looks great on my skintone. I was wondering if anyone that has both the copper diamond shimmer brick and the new bronze glow if you could post a side by side swatch?

Just ordered it today, I'll let you know once I get it. It does look very pretty in the pan :)

On the side note, I saw that you posted in Sephora thread that you've been liking Algenist products, they are having their own F&F sale on their website and it's 30% off and free shipping over $50. I'm thinking of ordering something too. It's just crazy how so many sales are going on at the same time lol

That doesn't look normal at all. Did it come that way?

Oh thanks! I should have thought to go there. I ordered a few pieces from the sephora sale. Aghh...oh well, at least I remembered to use ebates ;) Maybe I'll get the Algenist oil as its well liked. I'm very happy with what I am using now. I got the pore primer this time to try.

[@]elegant-one[/@], sorry to hear Pink Glow didn't work out for you. I think there are variations in the powders bc someone else's that I saw did not look so white :/ Do you remember what the texture of Pink Glow was like? I thought it was a powder but people are mentioning Powder Gelees and EDSFs... Bronze Glow swatch: https://juliasallure.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/bobbi-brown-bronze-glow-highlight-powder/ I still want to see them both in person, but it looks deeper and more orange than Copper Diamond from what I remember. Kind of reminds me of Magnetic Appeal EDSF, actually.
