I feel so fickle now b/c I am quickly losing interest in the es palette. Even though I have never actually seen it in person LOL. Too much new holiday stuff from other lines getting my attention. My wallet is happy though.

Is Accent anything like NARS Madly? Can anyone compare them side-by-side? Ok, probably Accent has more rose undertones while Madly more orange - it looks warmer.

I'm not a red nail polisher wearer too, but maybe I need Rouge Rubis because of all the raves. Time to bust out my Pirate nail polish lol.

I haven't seen the collection in person, but at the moment I feel I only want Radieuse RA.

Radieuse looks so light in cafemakeup's swatches. I wonder if it'll work on me.

I love Radieuse on. To be honest--I got kinda scared when I saw Temptalia's swatches. It's not that bright of a blue pink on. At least not on me. I thought it was a gorgeous, subtle pink shade.

I'm not a red nail polish girl either. But RR is to die for. Formula and application are flawless. RR and Radieuse are probably my favorite things from the collection. Edit--along with Fatal. I'm in love

with that little sucker. I may have to pick up a backup.

Yes, I really like what it does to my lips. Winthrop & I have pretty much the same pigmented lips, so some lipsticks don't show up well.

I'm so glad you love it.

Ok...double bummer here. My Initiation IdO arrived as a hockey puck and Accent irritates the heck out of my cheeks, as if it contains bismuth (except that it doesn't, so it must be the shimmer particles). Sigh. Accent just looks brown on me anyway. I would be much more disappointed that it bothers my skin if those pretty mauvey tones had shown up on me. I guess the yellow in my skin is to blame on that one. Geesh. Hope I love Radieuse!

what a bummer! are you able to go look in person? the IDO's are really pretty and with the JC, I have def seen different batches of it each with different tones, perhaps you could try again, it did finally show up mauvey on my yellow skin...have other JC's irritated your skin? totally OT but I bought the hourglass ambient palatte that just came out and it was a disappointment as guerlain meterorites are way better for me!!

I've been really curious about that palette. I have yet to try any of the Hourglass powders. What didn't you like about it?

Winthrop - What a double bummer! Can you change your IdO? I'll be happy to pass Accent then as it will be brown on me too. Let us know what you think of Radieuse.

I think it will be too hard to exchange for a better one online so I'll just return it and forget about it I guess. Due to work issues I don't have time to get to a counter. You should still try on Accent Miss QQ since you're not as pale as me. It looks really nice on Sabrina. I only ordered Radieuse yesterday so it'll be a little while before I get it.

My skin usually likes the US formula JCs but I had trouble with Orchid Rose years ago and that one was more shimmery than most too, so that's why I think it's the shimmer particles. That's interesting that you've seen batches with varying tones - mine looked browner in the pan than I expected from online pics tbh. Orchid Rose varied like that too and I was always in search of a more mauvey one, lol. For me to go to a counter is a 3 hour round trip unfortunately.

That's too bad : ( I sent Initiation back and got Accent. It does lean brown, but I want to try using it as a shadow with Fatal and throwing in the sparkle mascara for what I hope to be a mauve combo with bronze accents.

my first time trying them, i was so excited to pick it up as the reviews are amazing - i do not like the feel of the powder, while very powdery it feels dry - i love the warm colors in the palette but it made my normal skin look dry too, may have put on too much on but i applied it over liquid foundation to try to get the full effect - i tried different creams + foundations + brushes with it and it's just didn't seem to work for me!!
