catherine a let-down??

[Shawna]

I've been waiting for months so I could get the Kabuki brush, but there is no way I am paying $55can for it. I went out today and bought a cover fx brush for $36, and it comes with its own cute little pouch for travel. Does the mac one even have a pouch? It seems to be great quality so I'll let you know when I try it. It may be a good alternative.

I'm not too excited about it either. The colors are just so-so. they are more boring and neutral. The only thing I'm getting is the Lichen eye kohl, cuz I'm a sucker for eye kohls!

On the USA website, it's the wrong pic it probably IS the beau quad! On the Canadian website it's another quad.

I'm thinking about the micronized beauty powders - and possibly the thunder quad. It might be nice to have something subtle to wear to work (I work in a lab site at a public school and I can only wear so much jest, you know?)

Here's a promo pic of the quads

Same as the pic on the US site.
I did a live Chat and gal said the pic was the right pic.
Unless of course she is wrong and they put out the wrong promo pic.
Which is possible.

Either way they don't thrill me but IMO it doesn't look like the Beau quad.

I hated Liza & Diana.. not a damn thing in either one that interested me in the slightest.

I'll probably only buy Strawberry Blonde l/s from this collection because of budget constraints but I'd buy a lot more if I could.

I don't think it has much to do with being young or not either, I'm pretty young & have even younger taste. Lets not start that age crap again. This collection just has things that would actually suit me, whereas the other icon ones didn't.

Every collection has a "didn't you find this disappointing" thread or two, imo (not that you shouldn't feel that way!!). Truth is nothing can please us all.

 

[litlaur]

I agree, Leppy. I don't think age is the issue. I'm not buying much because I bought a lot from Naturally Eccentric and Lingerie, and I have colors similar to most of the things that I like in this collection.

 

[Eye<3Colour]

i like the quads. and will get them. i like the lip glass's too, but can't afford anything else but the quads.

 

[bluegrassbabe]

So far, there isn't much that interests me with this one. Everything looks so similar to existing colors. The colored brushes and the design on the compacts look cute, but I won't be buying them just because they're cute.
I will refrain from saying I won't buy anything from Icon until I see it in person. Sometimes I feel totally different after I see it at the counter, versus seeing a pic online.

 

[Starbright211]

I am going to wait to pass judgment until I actually see the collection in person. I sometimes pick what I want on line and then decide something completely different once I actually see it...

 

[absolut_blonde]

I'm interested in some of the lipsticks and lipglasses, but that's about it. Zero interest in either of the quads-- have a couple of shades already and the rest look meh to me. Nothing else appeals; the Blushcremes are too dark, Beauty Powers are boring, etc.

Then again, half the time I expect to love a collection, I end up being disappointed in person... So maybe the opposite will hold true, and I'll love this one! LOL.

 

[Sushi_Flower]

The collection is not appealing to me at all which is fine by me! I find it quiet annoying that they come out with a product for undereye circles and have it LE...do people only need to cover their dark eye circles for a limited amount of time? I am too scared to even test the Studio Lights incase it helps cover my circles well.

 

[Isis]

I'm thinking this collection is going to have potential. I may not buy much from it, other than a couple of lip colors and the nail lacquers, but I'm definitely interested in seeing it in person. Especialy after seeing the face charts, as I do have alot of colors that would work for them. I love the smokey greens and purples

 

[anuy]

its not that this collection is a bad collection... its just that by this point i already have almost every existing eyeshadow color and so i don't *need* anything similar. with that being said, i'll probably end up buying both quads anyway... just because i am that addicted.

btw
sketch is in one of those quads... and is my FAV eyeshadow color. so i'm thinking if my collection wasn't as big as it is, i would be loving this collection right now.

 

[PrettyKitty]

I think everything will be too dark for me... I might only buy Lichen khol, Thunder Eyes quad, Dusk lipglass, the kabuki brush and a Studio Lights. My wish list was 4 X bigger than that..

Oh wait! That's the same pic... but I looked at the USA website when I was at work, all the shades were differents too.

 

[fireatwill]

I guess for me its not a letdown persay. Just nothing that *I* want.

 

[Jude]

I received my purchases yesterday and everything was just kind of eh; except for the Thunder Quad that I love. The Blush Cremes are really sweet and I love Sharp Beige Lipstick. Everything else is nice... just nice.

Pics of Blushcremes?

Is there any way that you can describe the color of the blushcremes? I don't know if you have a camera or not--we'd love to see some pictures if possible.
