How did you like the Soft Ochre paint pot?

from my swatches i think they are:

nanogold, rich flesh, modest tone
remotely grey, dark edge, neutral pink

I totally agree with u.. I had a preview of the line today and I am no longer excited.. The only thing that I know I am getting is the colored MSF. We will see as far as the eyeshadows. The nanogold was okay, but I have seedy pearl which it is kinda of similar too. Even the lipglasses were not anything to run in about.. I know I am definitely getting the Ochre paintpot. I really like it, much better than painterly, which make my eyes look as though I am dead..

I dont know we will see..

LOL That is EXACTLY how I feel...oh well as we have become so fond of saying around here "More money for the other collections..."

 

[j_absinthe]

*yawn*

I'll probably pick up the MSF's, but this is money better saved for Heatherette.

If anyone has any actual pics or swatches that would be great! I just can't seem to wait for this collection to come out, and all the mixed reviews have made me all the more curious!! Thanks!!

Yuppers....me too. I really had high hopes for this collection, but after looking at the pictures better and getting info from the wonderful erine1881 (seriously, you are so incredibly awesome!) I feel disappointed too. I sort of feel like the shades are really close to perm colors. Poo. At least there is Light Flush.

aww, thanks! you're right, there is still light flush!

sorry ya'll are bummed.

but definately go and check out the stuff for yourself when it comes out. if you like neutrals, this might work out for you afterall. i just wanted to give everyone a little more heads up on the stuff.

 

[gigglegirl]

erine I totally appreciate all your info!

Its good to hear that stuff isn't spectacular, or that there are similar things in the perm line (ie someones comment of Nano being similar to Seedy Pearl)--helps me save $$!

Of course we'll still check it out in person, but its prob better for me to go in with lower expectations, otherwise I'll be majorly disappointed like I was with the Originals.

Oh swatches & comparisons would be amazing! Thank you so much!

 

[karinaf]

It's still going to be worth checking out, I think, but I am hoping my mac gift card I got for christmas will be able to be spread out over the year... the msfs will be a definate for me... maybe thats it. hee!

Me too. This happens to me every.single.time. I kinda want to cry.

 

[Fairybelle]

I think I want to see some swatches before I make any decisions on this! And to think I was looking forward to this more than the Fafi collection! 'Doh! Maybe I'll just wait till Fafi or Heatherette...but we'll see.

N is now up on the web site. 2 separate sections: N face and N color

 

[Winthrop44]

They still need to add the e/s into the color spectrum/alphabetical display of all e/s....I need to compare the colors to what I have! Not very tempted by the lip products at all after doing that...

 

[SMMY]

I only picked up light flush. The rest of the swatches look fairly meh to me.
