coach we can resist! I'm going for the l/g in this collection! plus you have the msfs--could use those as some e/s (i know, not quite the same) but still much more on the horizon!

Do you want my personal opinion hun?
When I did my first review I said the shadows were gorgeous.

I am changing my review.
After visiting my counter to pick up some lashes, I checked out the eyeshadows again... they are super average. I think I was more appealed by the fact that I wanted the LE item... but they were average. There are dupes for most, if not all, and the others have bad texture, and I just dont think this collection is going to be known for its eyeshadows. Its going to be known for its MSF's and lip products.

Don't waste your money. Im sure you can "shop your stash" (thanks audrey <3) and find just as beautiful products.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to hear.

I already got the MSFs and two lip products so I think that I am going to stick with that. Plus in a few weeks there will be a new collection for me to focus on and I won't even be thinking about the shadows I missed from BBR.

I have a very short attention span for that which is pretty and/or sparkly and/or colorful...and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

So today I wore Henna, Antiqued and 100 Strokes (in the crease/v) and it was super gorgeous! I love this collection, it is just so perfect for me! There's some collections that I've not been too wowed by but this one is amazing all around.

Oh and OT, but how do I obtain some of those dancing multi-colored bananas for myself? (re: coachkitten's signature)

Yay! I B2M'd for All's Fair today. I was going to pass on it as well, and didn't bother swatching it the first 3 times I went

But I got Strawberry Blonde yesterday and decided to give this another look. It has the perfect amount of purple to it that makes this different than the other pinks I have. And ya, it's going to rock with Strawberry Blonde!

Hauled a little bit this weekend. Yay!

chignon l/s
quick tease l/g
peroxide l/g (b2m)
top knot e/s (hate this! looks pretty in pot, but on lid looks like carbon)
226 brush (must have in my opinion)

The dancing bananas can be found in the smilies or put it in your signature as : nanas : except with the colons right next to the n & s with no space. I hope that makes sense!

I freaking love those dancing bananas!

Just bought 226, this brush is must have!

Still debating about Henna and 100 Strokes. I've heard they look great together on dark complextions, but not sure they will work on my NC25 light asian skin.

Any thought?

I say go with your gut. If you saw and swatched the collection, and the e/s didn't wow you then, just let it go (I know hard). If deep shade was a hard texture to you, then don't get it, because you won't use it once you get it home, it will just sit in your case and mock you.

I was going back for All's Fair and I have decided not to because to honestly I don't want to get hooked on any more LE products (lip products that is because they go bad).

so perk up

a lot of the shadows do look very unoriginal. i may just get one--100 Strokes, but i'll have to swatch it next to Sketch (one of my fave shadows!). i think i'll just get one MSF, either the blonde or redhead.

I think I'm done buying this collection. If I still really need something later, I can always scour the Clearance Bin, or maybe trade for it on MUA. My wallet needs a break.

So after I talk crap about not buying anything else from this collection. I see this picture of Hayden Panetteri from Golden globes and I think "Is that pincurl/vex on her tearduct with blonde MSF on cheeks with B-babe lipstick, or is it just me"

Hayden Panettiere - Golden Globes 2009 - Photo Gallery | Just Jared

You can click to see really up close.

The tempting site that can't be named says that this makeup is Neutrogena. Well, I've never seen neutrogena makeup look this good.
