i plan to! very excited about snowscene lipglass! i just hope that apres ski is worth it as i've read mixed reviews on it. but vellum should be amazing! i've wanted that for a while!
but i won't be buying from BBR now! i'm trying to crack down on my spending habbits!

the only thing i've got was the eyeliner and i'm a little disappointed. it's easy to apply and quite dark, but it smudged on me like crazy. i used it on my upper eyelid, and 2 hours later i look like a racoon. half of the eyeliner on my upper lid is gone
i've never had that problem with liquid eyeliners before
yeah i skipped the liner too! to be honest i only ever wear my black eyeliner on nights out and even then it's just a l'oreal eye kohl thing (which i freaking love! and it's cheap!!) sometimes to work i'll use my blitz and glitz fluidline but it's rare!
plus years ago i bought a dior pen liner thing and it dried up quite quickly and i couldn't manage to get a even line with it... maybe one day i'll get the mac one when i have a spare few pounds knocking about!

I haven't tried mine yet and now I don't even want to...
Funny thing is, in the store I applied it to my hand and I spent the next 10 minutes trying to see if it would rub off. I kept smearing it with my finger and it wouldn't budge.
That's why I bought it, but now I don't even want to use it...

I love the liner, it doesn't budge on me once it's dry! I guess I'm a lucky duck!
Also, since I got Wintersky for Christmas I've used it everyday, I love it, it's my new favorite for sure. Tonight after work I picked up SnowScene, Reflects Transparent Teal and Reflects Antique Gold with my Christmas money, I seriously love them!

I love this whole collection ... LOVE it! I am not really big into matte shadows, but Apres-Ski is definitely a new favorite of mine.
That said ... I didn't get the glitters because I didn't think that they would stay on ... now I am rethinking getting them. Anyone have any tips on getting them to stay put without screwing with the colours underneath?

The best way that I have found is to use a light tap of clear MAC gloss over your shadow and then dab the glitter over that. The glitter stays all night but doesn't ruin the eye shadow color.
AngelBunny I wanted to tell you that your swatches and pictures of this collection and Dame Edna are gorgeous! What kind of camera do you have and what setting do you take your pictures with? TIA.

Awww! Thanks for the great compliment. I have an Olympus FE-230 7.1 megapixel. I have had it for about two years now so the model number is old and there are newer versions, but it is a great camera. I have had two Olympus cameras, and can't ever see needing another brand. Very user friendly.
I use the portrait setting for everything ... mainly because I do tutorials almost daily for my blog and that just works the best for the lighting in my bathroom. I don't use the macro setting because I think it is just too harsh with this particular camera. HTH
I will try the gloss thing ... I have been trying to find an excuse to get that at my pro store

I am starting to crack!! After being good and just ordering the pen liner and snowscene lipglass now I want apres-ski, vellum, and mont black eye shadows. I really started to want the shadows after seeing TDoll's FOTD/Video. Someone please talk me out of these!!

Don't get Mont Black! Isn't it just like Black Tied? And all those other black eyeshadows out there... I'm sure her look would work well with Black Tied (or something similar) and Copperplate (Although I want Apres Ski as well... haha) I don't know about Vellum though, I want it too but I'm going to wait since it's PRO. But it's not listed as PRO on the website, so I'm not sure.
