I love that movie! I know this sounds weird but it brings back really happy childhood memories for me.

I promised myself that I won't purchase a product I don't like just for the hype. But I think Shell Pearl is a really good product! So is Summer Rose.

I still hate bough grey.

haha

Okay, we'll skip it together!

No cheating.

This thread is dangerous.

It makes people want to buy things they didn't intend before.

Oh wait, that's just Specktra in general LOLZ!!

I'm done with this collection.
So my final list with everything I bought from this collection is:

3 x Blue India
2 x Blooming Lovely
Shell Pearl
Prim & Proper

I am not buying any more! *ignores all enabling comments LOLZ jks jks*
But on a serious note, I think I'm done

It seriously makes me look like a yellow colorless blob. For reference i'm an NC/NW/20 (right now probably more like a NC/NW 15, yay winter skin!)

All these positive Shell Pearl reviews are making me REAllY want it now!! I'm SO CURIOUS to see what's so great about it!
You're about the same skintone as I am so the fact that you don't like Blooming Lovely kinda makes me worried a bit...

Great pics and swatches on your blog BTW!!!!!!!
(off topic- but those dresses you posted are GORGEOUS!!! I can't believe I've never heard of that store before!)

I was too! But when I heard it was selling out everywhere, I just didn't want to be without it- why do I always feel that way? I mean yes, I will definitely use this product, but it's not amazing. I was the same about Baby Goth Girl np from Style Black- it was ok, but then when I heard it was selling out, I went and bought 2 of them! Still don't understand the hype of that polish...

Whatcha gonna try with it?

I'm also a rare lipliner wearer *high five*

Can someone tell me if you think I'm better off with Belightful or Shell Pearl?

Thanks xoxo

I'm the exact same way!!!!!! I see they're sold out, then I feel the need to HAVE to buy them! There should be "macaholics anonymous meetings" for people like us

I LOVE your blog FOTD by the way! I ended up returning Show Orchid because I wasn't brave enough to pull it off, so I immediately took Petals & Peacocks off my list. But it doesn't look that bright on you. I'm wondering if I could pull it off, since we're the same skin tone.......You look stunning in it, though!

I LOVE Belightful! That is why I didn't get Shell Pearl bc even though they swatch differently, they appear similar on the cheeks as a highlighter. Except that B has glitter & shimmer with a champagne look and SP just has shimmer with a soft peach look.

Thank you!

It is bright, but in a different way than Show Orchid, if that makes sense. Like for some reason, I can NOT pull off most pinks (show orchid being one of them), but P&P and Gladiola, they are totally a breeze. It took me 2 seconds to apply, and looked awesome all day! I ate dinner, and when I was done my lips were still stained in the same pink.

I just figured I'd buy this color and use it once or twice but I honestly think it's getting a lot more love from me

They seem to be getting very little stock. How can things sell out in one day?The stores are busy, but not that busy.

 

[Meryl]

I bought Shell Pearl - again. I got rid of it last time because there was no colour payoff, just shimmer. Now I remember why I got rid of it. It's still the same.

Ever Hip was a surprise though. It's very creamy and kind of sheer and not as orange as it looks in the tube. It's really pretty!

Decollete is the word I have learned but I wanted to know if you use another word with English as your mother tongue. We use decollete in German as well BTW.

But however you can apply your Beauty Powder there

I am NW15 and I am wondering if I need to get Ever Hip. It just didn't do much for me when I swatched in the store. What are other fair girls thinking of this color?

Part of me thinks I should just skip it but I don't want to regret it later.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Well for working for an Estee Lauder owned company, (Clinique) when we get limited edition products my store is small so we get like 3 of each thing and that's it they don't send us anymore. And it''s been that way for us for the past year but I noticed it with her other brands that they don't get as much stock like we/they used to. I'm sure it's just so it creates more hype and OMG-I-need-to-stock-up-now-before-it's-gone-moments. I fell victim to it multiple times, but I think it's just a way for them to protect themselves so that they don't create so much surplus to limited edition products. On topic I'm still fighting the urge to get Bough Grey and Birds N Berries. Bough Grey sucked when I swatched it the first time and B&B looks too similiar to colors I own, so I will stay strong!

I'm NW20 and think Ever Hip is lovely. Much more subtle than the Fresh Salmon l/s I just bought.

I admit, this is probably what got me to buy Blue India. I had no intention of buying it; I've heard too many bad things about MAC nail polish. But somehow after sucked into the hype, I just had to have it.

But I don't have anything like it, so hopefully it won't disappoint. It's exactly the kind of color I love -- I've got OPI's Jade Is The New Black on now.

Right now, I resisting being sucked into getting Bough Grey (think I'll wait for the Pret-a-Papier gray next month) and Summer Rose. I picked up Pretty Baby from Hello Kitty from a CCO, so I don't think I need another pink beauty powder. I think.

 

[misha5150]

I only picked up Dirty Plum but Shell Pearl, Blooming Lovely and Prim and Proper and calling me to come back tomorrow and get them!! I think I will pick up Peachstock later but I am seriously having anxiety over Shell Pearl and BL!!! I can't stop thinking about them!! OMG!!
