I ordered the BP and Crushed Bougainvillea CCB first thing in the morning on Tuesday and they aren't expected to arrive until October 7th! Quite disappointed it is going to take so long...

Darn you enablers! I had planned to pass this collection by, but after reading reading your posts and looking at some swatches I've been sucked in yet again! Sigh...placed my online order today for the BP, Soft Flower e/s, Pastel Emotion l/g, and Pure Rose l/s. I figured that was a good compromise between skipping the collection and ordering the whole dang thing!
So now I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival on my doorstep....

I just saw swatches on another site, and am underwhelmed. I want to love it all, I really do. But I think I am going to stick with Pure Rose l/s and Crushed Boob CCB. Pastel Emotion is a possibility. I want to get the BPB from Red She Said so I am skipping the BP, and the shadows don't seem to have much color payoff. I am hoping I can stick to just 3 pieces and not cave when I see it in person.

I got my Ungaro today, I was crushed when I found out there was no paint pot! I thought I wouldn't like it but BOY was I wrong! I got everything (except liner, brow set and mascara), the collection was so gorgeous in real life, I could not restrain myself.
I've been playing with it all night and I have to say the must buy of the collection for me is the Not So Shy stain. Its perfect, it may be my very first back up product. I LOVE it. If you have been wondering whether to get this or not, I say you definitly should.
I caved and bought the Crushed Bourganvillea (aka Boob!), I don't know what the heck i'm going to do with it yet, but I wanted to be daring and get a really bright coloured CCB, and it most certainly is bright! Fresh morning is really gorgeous too, can't wait to use it.
I B2M's for the 2 lipsticks, Pure Rose is to die for. I'll be wearing this everyday this week, a perfect daytime colour. I'll also be wearing the BP all this week, the two go perfectly together, imo.
I think the most dissapointing things of the collection are the eyeshadows, I love mineral but lilac touch and soft flower are not that great, you have to work really hard to get them to show up. I'm glad I got them to see but if I had the time over I don't think i'd have bought these two.
HTH anyone who is still on the fence about this collection.

I picked up my Crushed Bourgainvilla today and its gorgeous!! The shadows are gorgeous too. If I was buying things I totally don't need right now, I'd buy them to put in a quad.

Hey guys.
I am back.
and I bought one thing. Lol.
Well I bought 4 but only one was from Ungaro.
I got Pastel Emotion Lipglass
Its quite a beautiful gloss, I am a big fan.
Its not your typical baby pink, it has a nice sheen and depth to it.
Pure Rose Lipstick jumped out at me and I tried it but I wasnt sold, so Im going to think about it. I have VERY pigmented lips and it took a ton of coats for this to even show up on me and when it did, it looked gross because I had to apply so many coats.
The beauty powder wasnt bright enough for me, I like BRIGHT pinks like Pink Swoon and this was much lighter.
The eyeshadows were great, I have phloof! and use it often. The coral was in the pinker side, not a true coral. The purple was my favorite of them all and I could see it looking fantastic with Top Hat Eyeshadow from Starflash.
The lighter CCB was a cold pink/whiteish color. The darker CCB almost reminded me of something that should have come out with Cult of Cherry, it applies as a bright deep pink almost like cherry juice.
The stain and the darker CCB are similar, the stain was nice but I couldnt see myself using it.
For reference I am NC15 with brown hair, and blue eyes.

Ok so I read everything you wrote and still can't decide. Please Blind, tell me what I neeeed. I'm with ya on the BP. I love Pink Swoon because I love color on my cheeks. If the BP isn't going to give me color, or at the very least some shimmer, I can easily pass... Sounds like the pink lippies are right up my alley though. I am just not convinced that the shadows are all that special... I am trying to talk everything down so I don't go nuts when I actually see it. I only want to spend about $40 at most on this collection, because I am going to be able to buy the holiday stuff at the same time.

do you think it would work better on someone w/ very un-pigmented lips?

Ok.
Heres what I think you should get.
Pure Pose
Pastel Emotion
and one of the eyeshadows, either the coral or the purple, but in my opinion the purple would suite your features better than the coral.
The beauty powder has no shimmer, its matte, and light, and in my opinion kind of borring.
The ccbs arent something you are going to use enough to buy imo.
But if you are going to get a ccb is needs to be crushed boob
Its a good blush for fair skinned people when applied lightly.

^^ Thanks ladies.
Please, no smackdowns, please. I am glad you both agree on Pure Rose and Pastel Emotion. Crushed Boob and the coral and purple shadows will get a look from me. It all depends on how much I love or hate Red She Said really... I can't wait for Sunday to get here!

I told her if shes getting a ccb it should be crushed boob, because it would look good as a blush...
the other ccb is kind of borring imho but crushed boob is quite vibrant so Im a fan
