I'm quite glad to hear that Perfect Topping and Shell Pearl are possible dupes, because I didn't get Shell Pearl even though I originally wanted it. I have Perfect Topping and I really like it, so even if they aren't dead-on dupes, I'm satisfied.
I only got Prim & Proper and Blooming Lovely from this collection, and I looove Prim & Proper!
I don't have anything like it. It's really pigmented though, so I have to be careful with it, but I don't mind. Last weekend I wore the simplest smokey eye, black GPS as a base, Club on the lid, Femme-fi as a highlight and Tarnish e/k. I wore Prim & Proper on cheeks and Creme d'Nude on lips. I loved that look! My avatar picture is actually from last weekend.
Now, onto Blooming Lovely.. What can I say, it makes me look like a corpse. And because it's an amplified creme, it goes on pretty opaque, and I can't find a way to make it look good on me. Well, I think I'm going to sell it to someone, there's no point in keeping it if it looks like poop on me

I know, Gazette Grey is really quite different from what I thought it would be like. I'm still wanting it, just for other reasons that I originally thought!
I had created myself a lemming for BG earlier, but then I scored Dior's Night Butterfly quint for like 30 euros (last year's fall collection me thinks), and there's this awesome satin mid-tone grey that I totally fell in love with. I have no idea if they're dupes or not, but they do look quite alike in pictures, and that's good enough for me!

My counter is selling the scarf!
The collection was launched two weeks ago but they decided to hang out the scarf this week. The material is soft and the prints are pretty but I will not buy it.
Birds & Berries is not working on me.
It looks dull, dark bluish grey on me and I don't really know what to do with it. What colours can I pair it with to bring out the green? I love all the other GMLOL things I bought very much!

Have you tried to apply it with a lip brush? I do this all the time with Warm Me Up from the Warm&Cozy collection which is labeled as 'amplified'. I apply a bit on the middle of my lower lip and spread it out with the lip brush, then apply two smaller bits on my upper lip and spread ot out with the lip brush as well. This way it goes on less opaque. Makes it more wearable for me.

I have applied it over Greengrease greasepaint stick. It doesn't make B&B more green but at least it's now noticably teal. When I wear it alone it's a lot more grey-ish/blue-ish than teal. Even Teal pigment is more green than B&B.
Other than that, I don't know. I've swatched it with some green e/s on the back of my hand but they didn't mesh well. I had the feeling that no matter what green e/s I pair it with it will only make the contrast between B&B and green e/s more apparent.

with all of that! Thanks. I don't have Greengrease but I'll try it with some green liners as base. Don't know what to do with B&B.

I've not found a way to use it yet! I might be super boring and use a black in the crease and outer V.
Anyone got any good eye combos to go with Blooming Lovely? x

My perfect topping has lots of veining! Like I said before, shell pearl does have a more obvious pinker sheen to it but PT is pretty close too. Shell Pearl is a lot more smoother on application and a lot more pigmented

I need to swatch both Perfect Topping and Shell Pearl side by side if there's a difference on my skintone. For Birds & Berries, I use Delft p/p as a base and it turned out so gorgeous!

I need to try this over Delft, so far I've just used B and B over my TFSI and it's gorgeous all on it's own. I bet delft boots the beauty.

I picked a product by mistake! I was planning to buy Shell Pearl and somehow I grabbed Prim & Proper. With it I also grabbed GPS Slick Black, Undercurrent, Black Line and 130.
I saw the blush and somehow I thought it's Shell Pearl. The SA didn't tell me Shell Pearl was out of stock. I found out I got wrong stuff at home and planned to return it back. Then I read good reviews about it and decided to give it a try. Oh I was stocked. It's one of the most natural blush ever made!!! So I am keeping it and I ordered Shell Pearl on line

^So do I! I loved how it made B&B so vibrant! I wish Delft p/p wasn't discontinued. Even though Delft p/p is still on Nordies and Bloomingdales' websites.

pair it with red-based purples/pinks, not blue-based. the red will intensify the green as they are complementary colours. pair it with DD, sketch, stars n rockets, etc.
