HI:
I applied nice vice on the lid lightly. I make sure I warmed up the paint pot with my fingers it seem to work better for me. Then I applied tea time on top on my lids. It gives kinds a bronzy purple look. It is hard to explain. It is a very basic eye look but with a kick. I add teddy eye kohl in my waterlines.
You can test the colors, apply the paint on your hand then apply the pigment on top. That how I can create difference looks. I do that alot with my paints to see what results I get. Good Luck!!!

Has anyone else had a craptacular experience receiving their shipments from Nordstrom.com? They are taking their sweet time shipping my stuff out - so far, out of 8 items, only 3 have been shipped, incl my Naked to the Core and a PP, but my brush sets and Pop Circle are still "in process", along with a couple other things- it's been almost a week since I ordered. I did live chat to make sure they're still coming and they said yes, they're just a bit backed up right now b/c of the Anniversary sale, but honestly why couldn't they have just thrown all my CF stuff in one freaking box, I guarantee it's going to be one of their mega huge boxes for like one lipstick.
I bet I will have ordered and rec'd my Starflash before this stuff gets here.

I ordered bras and jeans from Nordstrom the first day of the sale and they still have not even shown that the items are sent. It makes me furious!!
Seriously for $8 shouldn't the shipping be a little faster? I try to never order things from their website or catalog because the shipping always takes forever.

oooh tea time with nice vice! sounds AWESOME! (i am drawn in by the pigments, so Gilded Green and Tea Time are ones I'm thinking about getting!)
I always go semi-matchy matchy with my paintpots and shadows, but I really think I should try mixing it up like you've suggested here!

They seriously need to change the shipping to actually fit the size of the order. Maybe if they would use a box SMALLER than the size of your house, the rates would be cheaper

Yes. It looks like my order has been shipped from two different places and its taking forever. They sent my one lipstick in a big box. Now I'm waiting for the rest. I finally recieved an email that the rest would arrive soon. Usually Nordstroms is good and quick with shipping...

Nordstrom can be quick with their shipping, but sometimes it takes forever!!!!
I think you are better off calling the store & ordering it directly through a MA at the counter(they charge you the same anyway)
And their new $8 shipping charge sucks!!! It kills me to spend $8 to ship 1 thing(fo basically $22 + tax for 1 lipstick!?! I might as well get it from ebay) & then it shows up in this huge-ass box rolling/rattling around. Not good Nordstom, and they NEVER have any times when they offer free shipping like so many other major dept stores do

Ill be honest with you, its hit or miss. Seriously. I've gotten sets with "good to ok" brushes and sets with brushes with handles that fall out, they shed etc. These mini-brushes never seem to be the same quality as the full size.
I love MAC brushes IMMENSLY but... yes, there is a but.. When I was at The Makeup Show-NYC this past May, I got a SLEW of brushes from CROWN and ya know, I love em. I really do. Royal makes some incredibly nice brushes too..

Its because they tend to ship out of different stores. It depends on stock. If one store has some of the items available, they will ship some of the items from that location & the rest from another location. I've had this happen to me quite a few times, where I received a couple of items within 2 days & the rest of my order 1.5 weeks later. It can be so frustrating though, ITA!
I've had a chance to use these two pigments a few times & I loooove both of them so far! Tea Time is such a beautiful neutral brown. I want to compare the texture/finish of it to Your Ladyship from Antiquitease (which is one of my faves because of the way it sparkles). Its a sheer brown though with those same sparkles in it. Gilded Green = loooove. I used it with Sprout e/s, Juxt e/s, Warm Chill e/s and Humid e/s & it really completed the all over green look for me.

I had placed 3 orders and they did ship them all seperatly but I got them on the same day. I had my steel blue on b/o and got a card yesterday saying they didnt have that item anymore. Those were the one's I had pre-ordered weeks before. I've tried all 4 of the new colors and they all look great together, even the Royal Flush that I didnt think I'd like. I do like tea time and circa plum the best though.
