I got to play with the collection tonight. I thought there were some really nice products. It's not a wow, inspirational type of collection but I think most makeup lovers will spot something they want for the coming season. I couldn't buy tonight but I put some products on hold and booked an appointment. Since I know I'll be spending enough on this collection, I might as well get my makeup done.
I'm getting the Lady Grey quad for sure. That's the one item that jumped out at me and made me want to use it. All the shades are nice and they work really well together. The Evil Eye quad swatches terribly but it might work better in actual application? I'm reminded of how awful Carbon looks in swatches but it's actually a nice eyeshadow. If you're interested in this one then maybe try the shades with a brush and see how they blend out? I wasn't interested in the colours so I didn't play with it much.
Stunner blush is WAY prettier in person than I expected it to be. I don't think it's unique but it's a great blush if you don't have a bunch of dupes.
I'm buying Creamy Bisque and Moleskin. I don't usually like single shadows but these are great basics for me to grab to finish a look when I've used a palette that requires another shade. If Creamy Bisque behaves wears well for me then I'd actually buy a backup because it's one of those colours that you think should be easy to find but actually isn't!
I might even get Outre. I don't own anything like it and it's not an obvious choice for my pale, pink skin but I think I might want to add it to my collection? I remember wearing a colour like that back in highschool in the late 80's. It's only a maybe for me but it would be amazing on lots of other skin tones!
The lipsticks and glosses look very seasonal. I tried on Runaway Red and wore it home. I had no other makeup and was wearing gym clothes but I know a red has to be tested
It's a great true red and it didn't change any weird colours on me. I have many other reds so I think I'll pass but this is a good one. I am buying Offshoot because I like Creamsheens and this is an easy colour for me to wear.

I agree, it really looks great, but somehow I have a feeling of deja-vu... and this time I will listen to it. I guess :lol: But Creamy Bisque is beautiful and I can never say no to a beautiful highlighter...the swatch of Carbonized makes me want it even more than I already do
Thanks, so I am not alone. I hope they apply much better than they swatch, a lot mattes do. Here is me, hoping

Is carbonized anything like mulch?

It's supposed to be different as for Ian's make over, the MUA used both Mulch and Carbonized.
