I can't believe it either! It is crazy how fast everything has gone!

The top swatch of each is lightly brushed on with a 242, the bottom swatch is packed on with the same brush. B&B flashes more teal than Strike a Pose...I think it is because of the finish. Starflashes are so soft, that when it is blended down, you really see the grey, whereas the VP finish of B&B really tends to keep the teal flash. I imagine if you use the same color over Delft paint pot that they would look more similar, or even over a sticky base they would look more similar - these swatches are just on bare skin. I don't wear this sort of color a lot, so I probably didn't need B&B, but it was so pretty sitting next to Bough Grey in the displayer, that I couldn't resist.

Thanks twin!!!!

I swatched B&B at the counter, and while it was a tad different I decided to skip it. But thanks for the advice on using it with Delf paint pot! I'm definitely going to give that a try!!

I have to give this a try! I didn't like the way Ever Hip looked on me by itself, so maybe this will make it wearable! BTW- Petals & Peacocks DIDN'T look the way it did on you for me

Has anyone seen a facechart for this collection?

 

[only1angel]

I don't have a lot of permanent items like lipglasses, lipsticks and shadows. I was gonna get a few backups, but I'd like to get something brand spankin' new. Have you tried Rebel lipstick? I saw a chick wearing it in a youtube video and it was poppin'. LOL

Rebel was my first Mac lipstick, and I love it.
It's very retro on my pale face

Katie you look stunning hun!

i'm getting excited for this collection now - very excited!

I have Salsa Rose and haven't yet tried it - too afraid!

Elegant, if you like it, I'll probably give it a go, maybe today.......

 

[Shypo]

I don't know if anyone is interested in the LOL collection at Target, but 99% of the stuff is sold out online. I suspect a few evilbay folks have managed to take advantage of this.....

Update: I was interested in the totes, bags, etc. and my local Target doesn't have them or the men's accessories out yet (but does have the women's clothes) - I did manage to get a piggy bank in a pattern I liked (though there was only one of each pattern). I went to a Target on the other side of town and got the coated tote I was looking for and boxers for my boys.

Looks like maybe they didn't get their shipments, or just aren't ready for the launch. Very irritating.

I'm hoping it can help make my shadows pop, but I will also test this at home and see if it doesn't crease.

Shontay - have you tried MAC Paints? They are my HG bases! They are easy to blend but stay put once they're dry! I ALWAYS have problems with paint pots creasing but never with paints! I put a thin layer of TFSI everyday (I find it lasts about 12+hrs this way, without TFSI about 8hrs) and never have any creasing by the time I get home! Even through snow, rain, going to the gym etc. They are amazing! Sadly so many of the fun colours have been discontinued

- I hope you love it on! Ah, it will. I have not seen Goldenrod - in fact the name doesn't even ring a bell

however, Ochre paint pot is nice - I hope it works for yoiu. Let me know when you get them how they are for you.

Just use a very light handed 187 - that should help. I always add a little plop of it on the end of my nose too

Just don't over do the nose or you will look like bozo

Its a beautiful color

Does anyone know if English Accents and Creme Anglaise Cremesheen Glass are close colourwise?
If they are, I am so getting two of them
