Dejarose was previously released with which collection? Was it well received?

Asia exclusive? Strange but it means I get to see the quad.

dejarose came out with dejarose, march '06.

HUE: DEJAROSE IS AN EXOTIC, SENSUOUS SCENT THAT WILL BE PACKAGED IN A 0.68 OZ. SQUARE BOTTLE WITH A ROSE-COLOURED CAP

A striking bouquet of lush Bulgarian, Turkish and Tea Red Roses, ruffled with dewy watery and luminous green nuances. Velvety petals of exotic Orchid, Lily, Jasmine and Peony are teased with a hint of crimson Red Raspberry and the gentle texture of Pink Pepper. The interplay of light and dark woods, weathered Teak contrasting with Patchouli, adds to the intensity, while hypnotic Incense vapors and Amber Crystals lend a sense of intrigue and allure to this sensuous creation. A thoroughly modern "retro-scent": Dejarose.

it was before my mac time so i don't know how well it sold.

again, the quad isn't asia exclusive. the upstarts that she was talking about are supposed to be asia exclusive.

[TISH1124]

^^ That was my next question....

 

[blinkymei]

^^ lol, great minds think alike

 

[ABB113]

I was afraid to ask that question for fear that everyone knew what that meant but me....lol....

I think the upstarts are what Neonkitten was talking about:
upstart/essential prep kit. it has a baby fix+, baby strobe, and baby charge off oil

 

[snowflakelashes]

I'm glad you girls asked, and answered, I was sitting here feeling super clueless

 

[erine1881]

sorry guys, i was typing up a shit-ton of info in another thread.

there are 3 different upstarts, all containing mini skincare products. they're like the try-on pacs from long ago, that need to be re-launched here in the states pronto!

essential preps-fix+, strobe cream, cleanse off oil
refreshing travel-demi wipes, charge water, studio moisture cream
fast fixes-cleanse off oil, charged water, studio moisture cream

 

[coachkitten]

I saw those kits at Nordy's the other day!

 

[erine1881]

^^^well damnit!!! why is my book giving me wrong information saying its asia only!?!? i'm so gonna get these when i place my next order!

 

[snowflakelashes]

^Contemplates asking a 'The Bay' if they have them this summer when I go on vaccay (staycation is great and all but i need a shopping trip at the very least, get MAC'd over )

They were supposed to be a presell offer for the Nordstrom triple points event this weekend and you could buy one with any foundation purchase. Some stores did away with the foundation purchase requirement and they're just selling em for $25. I adore the mini Fix+.

On another fix+ related note, I asked Christopher Del Castillo about the "rosiness" level of the rose fix+ and he said that its light and not too granny-ish. Well, he didnt say "granny-ish", but he did say that its very light and pleasant.

one more thing about the upstarts kits--
Essentials and Fast Fixes only. The one with the wipes wasnt offered at Nordstrom.

 

[TISH1124]

I bought the Travel demi wipes kit...they are so cute

Lucky Texan!
I loved my old try-on pack (3 years ago) that had mini wipes!
