I know! I'm sad I don't want a BPB b/c the packaging is so pretty. I'm pushing it by saying I want Petals, Blooming and A Diff Groove. Those colors are not unique to my collection at all. I have so many colors like Petals, Blooming may look too jarring on me and I have several glosses like ADG.

I might end up skipping all this unless I go to a store and I'm persuaded by personal swatches. I do want a makeup bag, though.

WTH!?! White polish is awesome on us! You better buy you a cheapy Walgreens white polish and try it out!

Next, everything you put is exactly what I want!!! (on the fence about ADGl/s)

Well if it makes you feel better, when I got Tippy from HK and Spaced Out and X Rocks from NeoSci-Fi I was over the moon about the packaging but then I depotted them and never looked back.

It was kinda hard to make that decision but I came to the conclusion that if I go ahead with depotting them and they were gone I wouldn't give a damn. And it's true, I don't care.

I only cared when the collections were fairly new and wanted to share in the enthusiasm with others that had it but as soon as the collections got older, they lost their shine.

It's all about assessing loving and liking something and knowing that excitement and enthusiasm, at first, can up its value.

Erine or somebody, please tell us that Petals is NOT exactly like Gladiola

ps - if it really really is, then lie to us

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Mmmm...I'm thinking Lavender Wind l/g w/ Blooming Lovely l/s already.
I think I should add on English Accents l/g too--I'm loving cream this, cream that!

 

[panther27]

Okay so now that I've seen more swatches and pics,this is what my list looks like:

Birds & Berries
Free To Be
Blooming Lovely

Ever Hip
Frankly Fresh
English Accents
Shell Pearl
Blue India
I was going to get P&P but I have Gladiola,so Ever Hip took its place.

They don't stand out enough and may look ashy on me. I was only interested in Summer Rose anyway.

White nail polish looks good on every skintone. I bet you can rock a white nail polish. I have China Glaze's White On White nail polish and I have yet to try it.

I just swatched Gladiola & it sure looks more of a rose fuchsia raspberry bright barbie pink & P&P looks like it has more of the violet tone in it.

gonna talk myself right into P&P

Elegant, you are such a stinker! lol!

You and your VIOLET!!! Too cute!

My list for this collection is pretty small:
-Bough Grey e/s
-Prim & Proper blush

-Shell Pearl (I talked myself out of picking up Summer Rose, I'll just make due with the one I got from Rose Romance)
-Blooming Lovely
-Petals & Peacocks (I don't have Gladiola - but I think the finish on P&P is really pretty and has more of a sheen than Gladiola (was that a Satin finish?))

MM is darker than GMLOL.

we get sent colour substitutions for each collection, and it listed blushbaby as a substitute. of course P&P has shimmer than blushbaby doesn't.

i really do think that the BPs will look ashy on darker skins. sorry love.

they need to make BPs for darker peeps, not just us caspers.

well, P&P does have the shine that gladiola lacks...

I think I'm hooked on violet

So you're liking Prim & Proper - well, erine likes it too & she sure called Ripe Peach. I just can't decide

yes, the finish will be better than Gladiola - it's almost a matte on my lips

Blushbaby?! Really? I thought P&P was peachy? Hmmm...I will have to look at that after all now.

^

I'll get it anyway

 

[AudreyNicole]

Prim & Proper? Blushbaby as a substitute? SOLD! Blushbaby is my #1 blush. If they are at all similar, I must have it!

March birthdays!! There are so many March birthdays in my family other than me - my mom and MIL share the same birthday, a cousin, my SIL, an aunt, and a grandma. You actually have the same birthday as my aunt!

I'm so sold to Prim & Proper blush and Petals & Peacocks l/s! Since your birthday is on the 18th, that's the day that my mom leaves for San Francisco to go to Dr. McDougall's 10 Day Wellness Program with my grandad so that they can help my grandad to eat healthier and live a healthy life. I may end up having to get a little bit from this collection since I may end up going on a MAC no buy for 10 days.
