I only use the anti-bacterial Wet Ones wipes with the red lid & never ever have problems losing brush bristles/hairs

Really? I've heard everything to excessive brushing to the brushes bleeding dye! But I do want to try them and see for myself

I cant wait to get the pigments, has anyone had there orders shipped yet? I did a pre-paid phone order for 2 of each then a website order for 1 of each of the 4 new colors. I havent been watching this thread much, I had a bad fall. Can anyone tell me if they have already started shipping out orders? My website order said they'd ship in 3 days but my phone order said on the 18th. If they are doing it early then I know to call and find out when I'll get them

I wish I could wear regular shadows but pigments are the only kind of shadow that doesnt make my eyelids break out in a rash. Anyway I can't wait to see these and my buyers cant wait

) Oh, one more question...it sounds like they are letting people walk in and get the collection already?
Thanks in advance for any information

Agreed. My CCO ALWAYS get the brush sets from the anniversary collection; not that I need any more brushes....

I am sooo glad you posted this. I called the 1-800 number and the CSR told me I couldn't order anything unless I was a member(?) and she wouldn't take my order. So, I did a live chat today and Sara N told me to call 1-800-723-2889 and my order was taken for Royal Flush, Tea Time, Gilded Green and Circa plum plus 3 highlighters. She told me all were available except Tea Time's stock was pretty low and I may get an e-mail saying it was back-ordered or out of stock. She then took my CC info and said I would receive my order in 3 - 4 days.

Wheww!! Hope I get everything!

I'm waiting for the brush sets to get to my CCO too! I did get to play with these this weekend when I passed by Nordies and they are awesome! I had to control myself not to get these right there and then.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), I wan't too impressed with the lip and eye palettes and I didn't get a chance to check out the lippies and pigments.

Yay! I just called my Nords to ask them to hold or pre-sale me a few items & they let me go pick them up! So I got...
warm eye palette
cool eye palette
pop circle lipstick
I love them! YAY!!!

 

[helenoftroy1]

Is the warm palette brown eye shadow (fertile) similar coloring as magnetic field or Bobbi Brown Mahogany? I am not sure I want this because there is too many new collection coming I need to save my $$$$. Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks !

I just compared fartile to magnetic fields & they are definitely different...maybe I'm crazy, but next to each other it makes fertile look like it has a deep purplish tint as opposed to magnetic fields brown color

edit...haha I said fartile but its funny so I'm leaving it

Thank you for doing this for me. I wouldn't of image it would have a purplish tint to this shadow. This shadow might be similar to dark shadow in Brown Brown Mauve palette. I have that one. Thanks again!

jenntoz you rock!

I saw this collection in person and wow, circa plum (in the jar) looks a lot lighter than i anticipated. and royal flush--wow I was impressed. So vibrant looking, pink loveliness but I'm trying to hold off, and will probably be able to resist--considering the fall collections!

Hello girls and guys!

Just wanted to let you know what I posted swatches in the swatch forum.

So, my review on this collection? I think it's cute hahaha... I love the cream shadows, pigments, and lipsticks! I'll just be doing a quick review on some of the things I got, not too detailed.

1. Quick Flash is much lighter than Cash Flow (Fafi), I'm glad I got this! Cash Flow is more khaki than it is gold. Female is such a nice color! It has a pink iridescence to it, but I think it's similar to Helium.

I like the consistency of the formula, I found that the paintpots are a bit more creamier than the highlighters. The highlighters kinda feels silky when you put your finger into them. Please note I did apply 2/3 coats to the swatches I posted just for viewing sake.

2. Both blushes are equally nice in color pay off. Both blushes are buildable and both are different from the Heatherette Collection than I thought. The main difference between the two collections is that there is a bit of a shimmer to the C.F. blushes than Heatherette, which is more of a matte.

3. The lipsticks are very nice and creamy. I found that when I first swatched the two, it looked awkward because of the inner ring part. After two applications, everything blended evenly. I really like Inner Hue, it's such a nice everyday color.

I swatched Rose Go Round (not pictured) at the store and wasn't a big fan of it. It looked like a pinkish/redish something in the middle kinda color. I could picture my Mom wearing it haha... I wasn't fond of it at all.

4. Pigment, I love them! They are SO pretty, you don't even know! hahaha I think with the other ones, I'll just go and buy samples of them. I felt that Steel Blue had a different feel than the other two I had bought, but the color is SO AMAZING!

So, I hope this helps you all out. Definitely go to your local Nordstrom and check them out NOW. I didn't get my Rose Bullion because they were sold out and I put my order in last month! (the boyfriend is picking up my R.B. as of right now at another Nordstrom location

hahahaha... He must hate me right now, he sounded pissed off on the phone)

happy viewing!

IDK if the official release was pushed up, or they just have so much going on when the anniversary sale starts(the 18th) that they are just letting people pick there stuff up early to have less to do the morning of the sale (does that make sense? Sorry, I'm a little sleepy)

that makes sense...my MA when i went into to get electroflash kept saying something about the 15th and picking stuff up so i wonder if that was what she was talking about. I will need to call in and find out.

 

[KikiB]

Hmm I might be tempted to go in tomorrow and see if my stuff came in...

 

[pat]

Well, I know that the release date is on the 18th...

I'm not sure why they released it early, but maybe it's because I'm going out of the state? I think Nordstrom card holders are allowed to get it early?
