I thought Shell Pearl looked pretty in the pan, then when I swatched it - it just didn't do anything for me, & it seemed too shimmery for my liking. But, seems like a lot of others like it

Yes, I did swatch the pink es - it just looked like a pale white pink, not a lot of color. I was disappointed in it.

Summer Rose is so very pretty. It has the violet. Check it out again.

I had a lot of fun today.

Well, this was a freak for me - I'm sure I'll make up for it.

I know I just love Prim & Proper! I wasn't expecting to like it so much.
What I love about Shell Pearl is that it's so pearly and that it's slightly pink. It's a peachy-pink with gold shimmer that gives this soft pretty glow. It might look like an ordinary peach highlight in some lighting, but if you look at in the sun, it has a pink undersheen and is just so damn pretty.
I know you love Summer Rose but I just can't get myself to like it, I love the color but not the texture. If it was as pearly as Shell pearl, Id buy it in a second. It's funny how different textures work for different peeps <---lol peeps.

I think i'm going to pass this, so there are no shadows on my list. I'm curious to see what Gazette Grey will be like from the Pret a Papier collection, the description said something about a greenish grey with gold pearl, which is more my kind of grey.

And now Blooming lovely is back into consideration.

Thank you!

Looks like I am skipping on Bough Grey and GMLOL e/s'

Thanks elegant! My wallet loves you

this time

I am thinking I will really like Gazette Grey

I think you have me unsold on Shell Pearl bp.

I think I have plenty of products for shimmer, so I doubt this will do anything that my other products cannot. But, as for Summer Rose, it won't be getting away from me so easily!

Especially if it is better formulated than RR, because that beast just did not work for me.

I want a pencil sharpener too. I haven't bought it because I know Chanel lip liner comes with a sharpener, so I am considering buying a Chanel lip liner or just a MAC sharpener.

Great haul, Mommy Spy! I love the things you bought!

I want Shell Pearl because it looks peachy and glowly. I almost bought Summer Rose from RR because I love the colour. However, when it had no colour payoff upon swatching and the rose print was so hard, I passed. Glad to hear that AB and SR are different, so I am justified to get both if I really want.

I adore Summer Rose, and ya, it is kinda hard to apply. But I can't justify getting another one with so many cheek products in my collection!!! I also still love the rose design.

I think that I am going to skip shell pearl too. I have such a diverse variety of msfs, blushes, and beauty powders that I am sure I have something similar. I think that I will get summer rose since I sold mine from Rose Romance.

My list is starting to get a bit shorter which is good.

Elegant or anyone else that has seen the collection what did you think of Blue India NP? I am trying to decided if I want it or not. TIA!

I think you should go with summer rose and it's much nicer this time around and It actually shows up unlike before and Blue India n/p is very pretty but sally hansen has a similar color so it's up to you but I think the color is pretty

 

[allThingsGirl]

hm. i feel like i'm the only one not really feeling this collection.

the only thing on my list right now is the dirty plum blush.

i quickly saw the pre-order samples this weekend, and i really didn't like prim & proper. it seemed like it was a shade lighter or darker, can't remember, than my skin (nc40) and it was flat and not sparkly or shimmery...i guess it would be a good nude since you can barely see it? i prefer something more like earth to earth in that category.

anyway! i'm intrigued by shell pearl since everyone is raving about it. i didn't even look at that when i was at the store.

 

[Gonzajuju]

I saw this collection today at Nordstrom and boy am I smitten.
My list has majorly expanded.
Wants and needs:

Blooming Lovely l/s
Ever Hip l/s
Blue India n/p- omg this looks awesome!
Summer Rose b/p- swatched very very smoothly, I think this will look good over azalea blossom
Shell Pearl b/p
Bough Grey e/s- I'm on the fence about this one since it's kind of blah but I don't own any greenish greys. It reminded me of the odd sage green/grey color 'hold my gaze' in the sorceress purple holiday palette.
Birds & Berries e/s- heck yeah, I need this
English Accents l/g
Frankly Fresh l/g
Perennial High Style l/g

 

[mariserinb]

i don't get it! how do all these stores have the samples and mine don't???

And I'll surely stand up! Next to you and totally say "NO WAY?!?"

I really wish they released hold my gaze in a singe as I recall liking it but I am seriously so meh about Bough Grey. It doesn'treally remind me of it. I just don't have patience for eye-shadows that take work to go on correctly.

I was going to skip this collection, but now I really want Shell Pearl BP! I was wanting Bough Grey, but a few posts here have turned me off to it. Birds & Berries sounds pretty, and I don't have any teals but I do have to be realistic about if I would actually wear it...

kiss - I checked out your blog, the picture of your cat magnified through the MAC compact was the cutest thing ever! Totally made my Sunday

Yeah I loved hold my gaze but not Bough Grey. I wish they would come out with that one in a normal round shape. They're not at all dupe for each other but they just kinda reminded me of each other. Heck I know me, I'll still buy it. I don't need an enabler when I have myself!

 

[LMD84]

well nothing is stopping em from getting shell pearl powder!

i love the colour and the compact... even though i have many glowy products i still must have this one!
