well the colours and formula are great but most of us hate the stupid packaging! 6 swipes just to get enough product on your lips!!

^^ I thnk it depends on the colour.. MIss Marble is really pigmented (in one or two swipes)

NIce mIx up is sheer... Eclectic Edge- well i dont care cos its soo pretty!

Can't wait for Warm Blend to come now!!!! And I ADORE Eclectic Edge, such a flattering purple!

gasp. I love So Ceylon.. would never give up my back-up

But i'm definitely interested in Cheeky Bronze again... how shimmery is it compared to So Ceylon? about the same? and does it show up well on your skin? I think we have similar skin tones

I finally used the 226 brush and it feels so harsh on my crease. It feels so scratchy. Am I the only one that has the problem? Also,I wish it wasn't tapered to a point but rounded at the top like the 224. The 224 is too big for me since I have a small lid. I don't want to return it!!!! What else can I use it as?

It's more pigmented than So Ceylon and a bit more shimmery. It shows up VERY well on my skin, I have to apply So Ceylon a couple of times for it to show up. I just swirl, tap for Cheeky Bronze, apply... and it's so buttery and pigmented, applies like a dream. Cheeky Bronze is more a peach coral bronze, So Ceylon is definitely more of a Rosey Bronze.

I'm NC30 btw.

Hi Kristina!

(hope I got your name right)

Nope the lipglasses here are awesome, just that the packaging sucks.

I have BOTH Naunce and Margin blushes... but don't have CB to compare them to (yet). Now I am wondering if I need CB too haha! But it's already on my b-day list so we will see...I can swatch Naunce and Margin though if anyone would like. Just let me know

I'm proud of you too!

Of the two, i personally would choose Warm Blend. I'm not a huge fan of Cheeky Bronze. It looks too 'brown' on my skin, i was hoping it would show more coral.

I'm in love with this gloss too! It isn't as pigmented as the two others I have tried (Miss Marble and Crazy Haute), but still gorgeous! It's a lilac-y purple that isn't too cool, so it works!

Erine, sorry about your grandma.

I feel the same way, the 20th is my wedding anniversary.

 

[Debbie_57]

Erine and Tish-soo sorry about your Grandma's!!

I used Ricepaper with Natural Flare today, it works beautifully with it! I put it on the lid, and used the orange and dark brown shades and just a little bit of the lightest color in the inner tear duct. I thought all the shimmery shades used together was just to much, so I like this much better.

I also put Ever So Rich cremesheen gloss over Color Crafted lipstick today, it is so pretty!

I must say this is a huge disappointment, this is the one I wanted from the get go and it swatched nicely pigmented. And the glitter chunks were chunky and awful. So this one will be going back. I tried on Cheeky Bronze as a blush, and I think I may have to consider this one. It was really pretty. And I have not been interested in the 131 at all, but I played around wth it using MSF's and I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. I'm just trying to reason if it's worth $40 to me or not.

Wanted to add I went back and tried to work with Eccentrity again with different bases, and even tried it wet. But it still just doesn't show up on me[NW 25ish] enough to justify keeping it so back it's going. Oh well guess it just wasn't meant to be

 

[lukinamama]

The colour payoff is awesome and I was very impressed with how smooth it goes on, no fuss at all. It does show up a reddish coral especially if your lips are on the pigmented side. I think the pigmentation on the lips makes it look redder imo. I would have gotten it if my lips weren't so pigmented, it looked quite bright on my lips. But I can't stress enough how smooth it goes on, much better than the other lustres I've tried.

That's a shame because it's such an awesome brush! And I'm surprise it's scratchy on you because the 226 is the softest brush I have tried. I found my 224 to be scratchy so I have a feeling my 226 will take over the place of 224 for blending.

I wore style demon MB and Porcelin Pink MSF as a highlight, loved the combination!

Only two things I have are Natural Flare and Color Crafted lipstick. And I love'em both!

I have tried on these in the store, and they are most definetly on my list to get
Cheeky Bronze MSF
Funky Fusion
and Eclectic Edge glosses.

I also loved Daft Pink, but it is to similar to Loverock which I already have but if I didn't I would have gotten it.
