Thank you ladies for all your swatches, advice and thoughts. I bought my CoC goodies today and am so excited about going home to play with everything.
Like makeba this is the most I've spent on a collection, but it's so worth it. The colours are extremely WOC-friendly and the whole CoC collection is so adaptable. You don't
just have to wear Sharp on your lids and Bing on your lips. But it's a pretty fierce look!
I got:
Quads - Tempting, Spiced Chocolate (
so so so so beautiful!)
Mattene - Kirsch (
made me want to kiss my reflection, lol)
L/S - So Scarlet, Lightly Ripe, O (B2M)
L/G - Jampacked, Liqueur, Cherry Blossom
I had been worried So Scarlet would be too pink, but it's a delicious deep wine colour on me. This is the colour I'd hoped Dubonnet and Ramblas Red would show up as. I'm NC50 for reference.
The pinks aren't at all ashy or grey as I'd feared, but give your lips a sheer pretty sheen with a touch of pink. They'll help create a beautiful nude lip to balance out the stronger eye for the Fall look.
I highly recommend this collection to anyone who's still undecided. I'll post swatches in the CoC thread later in the week.
