Studio Fix Fluid ; Amazing coverage! None of the shades of this match my skin, I'm far too pale, but I use it on other people and it's amazing IME.

Pro Palette ; Can't go wrong with the palettes.. ;D Beware, they become addictive though, you need more after the first one!

Via Veneto ; Very pretty colour, but I'm not a huge dazzleglass fan, I prefer matte lip colours...

Gesso & Carbon ; my two favourite E/S's, I use them all then time! Great basic eyeshadows, you can work them into any combo nearly.

thats a shame about the studio fix fluid, because im also very pale

boo.

i bet palettes are adictive, you have to fill them up all in a nice order and label it, i bet its rather fun collection them (this will be my first)

with the via veneto i dont tent to use alot of lip products, but i fell in love with the colour, are dazzleglasses gloopey or heavy at all? what dont you like about those sweetie?
with gesso and carbon i thought they would be good to start out with seeing as they are basic matte white and black, im excited

is the colour pay off good?

thanks for the replying

I like Carbon & Gesso, but I'm sure there are better black and white e/s out there. Carbon isn't insanely black on me, and it has a tendency to turn blue-ish; Gesso is white, but not stark white. Don't get me wrong though, I still like & use both of these on a fairly regular basis. I do plan to try others though!

IMO if you want a basic black e/s Typographic is better than Carbon in terms of color payoff and ease of application.. i personally find it much easier to blend! (bc its a matte2)

 

[Kazzii-Loves-MA]

ooh wow thanks girls, this has been alot of help. its nice to talk to someone that has used and experienced these products.

the pro palettes are great! it means buying shadows or even blushers in the pan is cheaper by a few pounds. and also it's fun arranging them in colour order and stuff! oh and if you're travelling it's easier than taking single pots with you!

as far as carbon goes i really like it. it has a slight bluey tinge on me after a while but i actually quite like that.

this shadow instantly smokes up any eye look that i want

I too prefer the matte2 formula for the mattes. They are easier to blend in my opinion.

I am not a lipglass/dazzleglass fan at all - I'm not a lip gloss girl in general. But I do like the plushglass and lustreglass. They are not goopy, have good color payoff and are not sticky. You might want to look at them if that is what you are looking for. Some of those also have pearl.

Select cover up is my favorite.

The palettes are addicting - buy more than you'll think you'll need. Be sure and buy a 4-palette for travel.

Good luck. I love Covent Garden!

Pro Palettes are awesome, they are great for storage and travel! I would rec. looking into the Prep and Prime SPF 50, I have a similar skin type to you and I like that one much better than the P+P skin. Try to get a sample of it while you are there so that you can compare!

The dazzleglass that you have there via vento has not color pay off whatso ever. I got it and thought it was the most pretty color and when I put it on (I don't have pigmented lips), and all it was is glitter, and then when you take a second look you can't even see the glitter. Inless you in direct sunlight you can't see the glitter. It is sticky but I don't mind as it stays longer that way. But there are better dazzleglasses then that one. It is gloopy if you put to much on as well. Also with how much money it is compared to a lipglass and how much product it isn't worth it for the color payoff. That and you use it once and it already looks like you have used it 5 times. Though it does have a better smell then the opnes in the perment line, those have a racid garlic vanilla smell, but this one is just vanilla. Just my two cents

(I like Funtabulous)

 

[Kazzii-Loves-MA]

thanks for that hun, i was looking at funtabulous and babysparks as in dazzleglasses and pink poodle and russian red in lipglasses. anyone have these and love these? Thanks x

 

[LMD84]

babysparks dazzleglass is awesome! it's a milky pink colour full of pretty glitters. however i have to say that none of the dazzleglasses are particularly pigmented. i love them over lip stains or lip stsicks to add some sparkle. plus they last ages on the lips. i wore my rags to riches today over a stain. applied at aboutn 7am and by 12 noon i could still see glitters on my lips!
