OK, I am officially loving my Shell Pearlyay! I love using it over or under my blush, but also as a highlighter (duh). Even down my nose as it reflects the light. It's gorg!

I think the lasting power is good. It is just that blushes tend to fade on me and because beauty powders aren't as pigmented as blushes, SR disappeared even more quickly on me. Maybe I lean my face on my palms too often.

Btw I just wanted to ask about the lasting power of the beauty powders. I remember Miss QQ saying that her summer rose fades away very quickly if used solely. I have very oily skin, does that mean I won't be able to use summer rose as a blush on its own (it shows up fine on me though)? |

I couldn't see anything by myself either. But I really trust in the color descriptions and swatches here! I am not disappointed at all with what I got.

Thanks for sharing. Hmm if blushes don't normally fade quickly on me, I suppose Summer Rose is going to last on me then?

I saw this collection today, blooming lovely is stunning - im hoping to buy it off a seller on here (because with the conversion rate, the lipsticks are about 4 or 5 pounds cheaper to buy in the US!) but if I can't then im grabbing it tomorrow

I think those are good choices. You may want to add Blooming Lovely to your list. I think it will look really pretty on your skin tone

I originally was planning to skip this whole collection... but I picked up Birds and Berries when I ordered my Art Supplies stuff.
I'm SO glad I did!!! It's a gorgeous color! I also love the packaging! I didn't like it so much in the pictures, but it's really pretty IRL. Now I'm thinking about getting Bough Grey.
How's the application of Bough Grey? Is it nice and smooth and pigmented or no? I sometimes don't like satins, that's the only reason I'm holding back.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any dupe for Summer Rose? I can't get it out of my head.

surely with postage it doesnt work out that much cheaper for it to be worth the risk of it getting lost in the post?

I've shipped to the US and got packages from there, and nothings ever gotten lost! It costs about 3 pound to send a package to the US (that's the most its cost me, 5 dazzledusts a lipstick and a lipgloss) so I don't think the p&p makes too much difference

International shipping from the US isn't too expensive if First Class shipping is used. Where it starts to get expensive is if priority shipping used and insurance, etc. is added.

i suppose, the few times ive got something from over in the states it has ended up only costing about 50p less than if i bought it in the uk.. i'm a glutton for instant gratification too, i cant wait like 2 weeks for my lipstick, i want it now!
i've never had anything lost either, but there's always a first! it can happen, and i'd be sooo pissed if i couldnt replace it
