I am getting really excited for this collection!

I want all 3 eyeshadows and the darker 2 lipglasses. Hooray! Now if it would only release early like SW did.....

queen bee is really pretty on the lips. its kinda like smile, a pretty peachy apricot-y nude.

im not sure if this has been asked before, but how does it compare to Gold Rebel, if at all?

Hi Erine. How close are the two. I ask because last week I bought Smile (haven't worn it yet so I don't know the exact color on me yet), and I don't know if I should still get Queen Bee since I don't need that if it's too close.

they're different enough in color to have both, and the difference in formula and texture are another reason.

I'm so excited for this collection!

So far I know I'm definitely getting the following:

- Creme De Miel e/s
- Honey Light High-Light Powder
- Naked Honey Salve x2
- Naked Honey Hand & Body Cream

... and at least 1 of the perfumes, not sure which though.

Thanks so much for the swatches, they are awesome! I was hoping they would be close so I could skip it, lol. Queen Bee reminds me a bit of Pink Grapefruit.

My overtime money will go on:
Queen Bee-oh, that does look like pink grapefruit, maybe no queen bee for me
Buckwheat
Creme De miel
Maybe Buzz but I doubt it

Plus it will sit in my box of goodies on the table. I have taken to buying, then leaving the stuff unused in my goodie box, then when I hunger for something new, goodie, goodie.

oooh, queen bee looks so pretty!

Poo, well thanks anyway...guess I have a little investigating to do.

I might be in the minority but from the swatches, I like Paradisco more than Pollinator

Wow, i guess my eyes are playing tricks on me. They are very different for sure. Damn I am going to have to get it. I was tyring to save money but I am a sucker for anything peachy. Thanks for the swatches

Queen Bee reminds me more of Moonbathe or Orangedescence, just not as orange...more peachy.

Thanks! Now I need Queen Bee AND I have to hunt down Pink Grapefruit!!!

 

[soco210]

wow queen bee is positively gorgeous!!! thanks for the swatches!

 

[II3rinII]

game of the day : see how many different lipglasses erin can swatch next to queen bee to prove its unique beauty!! hahaha

we got our shipment today, but we havent gotten our gratis yet. i have a few training samples though from my trainer (i have all the body products and 2 lipglosses, not queen bee though).
so the fragrences:
africanimal has a very strong pepper smell at first, once it settles though it leaves a nice warm spicy scent with soft notes of freesia
naked honey is very green and very clean smelling it finishes with a gardenia and citrus scent.

As much as I would like to skip this collection all together my overwhelming desire to always be shimmery means that I have to at least try the highlight powders, although that over spray really turns me off. Ugggghhhh.
