This is my dilemma too, if it's more pinkish rose I want it if it leans brown I can't pull it off

I will never get caught up on this thread.
I'm feeling like I will need to be strong and not get the blushes. I am 99% positive I've got other EDBs that will look nearly the same on me when applied. I also don't need any bronzers or skin finishes, although I'm sure I'll be peeking at those.
It'll just be 3 or 4 shadows and ~3 lippies. (I suppose I shouldn't say "just", lol). Maybe a nail polish or two.
I do love that packaging, but there is no way in the universe I'd buy a compact with a product I don't like or wouldn't use.
I wonder if they can do such a convincing wet-look, what cool new finish could be next? I'd love to see some 3D-embossed lace effect, with the lace in a gloss black over a matte black, or maybe there's the tech out there to do a faux candy-flake, vintage car style finish. I'd be super into that.

I wonder if Temptalia was sent all of the other products to review since she was missing a lipstick. I saw glimpses of the brushes in her pics and maybe an eyeshadow, but it was hard to tell.

Oh my, her photos make Clear Water look like my beloved Easy Lounger that I'm scraping the bottom of the tube currently. That one's a distinct possibility for me. Now if only Flurry of Fun would come back….maybe next summer, at last!

The glosses are seriously disappointing. The struggle to buy anything from this collection is real. I'm getting the compact to have it, but it seems like there's nothing for me to buy and actually use. Nothing to get excited about.
Yes, please! FoF and Toxic Tale. Then my life will be complete.

You can see the edges of some of the eyeshadows, so yeah. Though who knows if she has all of them.

I'd go full ho for PIMP lipstick. What color do you think it should be? I say bright Dazzle finish purple with chunky gold glitter......that would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
CANDY FLAKE! Did you see the brand new Orly glitter polish for summer? It's the most amazing approximation of that sheer, glitter flake 50's texture in eye searing lime green. I'd have to say if there is ONE single beauty product I've been waiting for for Summer '14, it's that damn polish. Seriously more than any lipstick, shadow or blush. It touches something in my punk rock lizard brain.
Check it out here (I won't hotlink her photos directly, but her blog is really nice, just in general): http://beautyjudy.com/2014/03/orly-baked-collection-for-summer-2014/

I think Sea Worship shadow would look amazing on you. My gut is telling me we haven't seen a photo yet that really captures what it brings to the table. I'm very excited about it, as an awesome shade like Dalliance that actually works on my skin tone (like Dalliance doesn't).
I can totally see why you'd be bleh about the rest of the collection though - those colors are mostly not your style. More $$ for something better!
Meanwhile, I haven't been looking through the threads much lately…did you buy Toying Around? On me, it's so close to Toxic Tale. Did it pull mega-pink on you instead?

WELP now this is hopelessly stuck in my head. hah! Also since we are on the subject I just want to be able to use this skill that I haven't used in years: cause I'm a motha []D.[].[]v[].[]D
LOL
ugh I am tempted to get Clear Water because I live in/near the city Clearwater. Even though I know I would never wear it I don't know if I can get past the novelty of it.

Still catching up but here are some swatches. I smeared the lip product swatches with my sleeve before I could take a pic, so none of those, sorry. First couple are in indoor light, the rest in natural (rainy) daylight.
From top left, these are
Sea Worship, Fathoms Deep, Silver Sun (bought these three!)
Lorelei, Soul Serenade, Legendary Lure
Seduced at Sea, Sea Me Hear Me, Aphrodite's Shell
Also closest to my wrist beneath SMHM is Tenderling for @martiangurll (sorry, wasn't much space left!)

I actually had Silver Sun and Soul Serenade on my tentative list because those are my kinds of colors. Sea Worship is, too but I want to keep it to two shadows because I wasn't crazy about one extra dimension shadow I bought awhile back. I got Toying Around, but it doesn't look like Toxic Tale on me. I'm wearing it in my avi. Plus, the finish isn't kind to my lips the longer I wear it.
