ugh, I'm having such a hard time deciding between the two powder colors???

I thought the lighter one would be better suited for my pale skin, but it looks yellowish? But, I don't want anything orange. I hate not being able to see them in person.

I get more and more convinced about Pollinator. Sooo beautiful! The 3 shadows look like they compliment each other nicely, I might get them all - if Buckwheat isn't a complete dupe of Magnetic Fields on me.

The salve is a maybe for me. I have a pharmaceutical cream which is awesome, it might be all I need.

I thought the lighter one looks yellowish in the swatches too. And Golden Nectar has looked kinda orange in some pics, and a pretty glowy light tan colour in others. I opted for the darker, for a bit of colour on the cheeks. Give it a few days and I'll let you know!

MissVega, I don't think an email has been sent yet because it wasn't supposed to begin till the 16th (according to info on here). But yesterday, someone mentioned trying the code and it working on the Cdn site. Maybe it wasn't supposed to yet and now they have fixed it?

Not sure, I placed an order and it applied the discount, so I sure hope there's no issues when they ship it!

Has anyone tried to use Live Chat on the US site lately? Both last evening and today it's not working for me. It lets me send the initial info but then comes back blank

Maybe the code worked yesterday but its not working today because I tried it. I was thinking when it didnt work that it was good that it didnt because I keep adding and deleting items..lol. Tomorrow I am going to the counter to see the products myself in person and I do have The Bay 10.00 beauty discount ( not that is great because you have to spend 50.00 in order to get the 10.00 off), so if I really have too have a few things and can't wait till June 16th for fear of them being sold out then I will get them tomorrow and then order the rest online.

regarding the highlight powders..I was wondering the same thing, the lighter one looks yellowish according to swatches and Golden Nectar looks tannish organish to me in the swatches.

Too funny.............. sometimes these threads go in so many different directions. I get so caught up in them that I forget what I was looking for in the first place.

Back to Naked Honey............... my counter let me buy it today!! I originally planned to get all three eyeshadows until I swiped them. I really felt that the creme de meil looked much like Nylon or Ricepaper. The other two were beautiful imo. I ended up getting Bright Future instead of Creme de Meil and also Queen Bee (which reminds me of Bendel Girl), Pollinator and Buckwheat.

Did you test the powders - if so what did you think of them?
Thanks!

I tested the collection today and everything was completely passable. All the eye-shadows were nothing special. The salve and body creams didn't impress me at all as they barely had any smell to them. The lighter bottle of perfume dissapointed me, it smelled too much of flowers, very strongly of daisies and the honey smell is barely there. It's too flowery and not enough honey for me. My bf didn't like it either. The darker perfume was absolutely disgusting!
Overall, a super easy collection to skip for me. Bring on Color Craft!

The items were released at the Pro store here in New York on Tuesday last week.

So I bought:

Golden Nectar High-light powder

Creme de Miel e/s
Pollinator e/s
heart.gif

Buckwheat e/s

Random thoughts:

As for the high-light powder, I found the lighter of the two (honeylight) to be VERY yellow. Im NC 25 and it just looked weird on my skin. It wouldnt of served well as a highligthter and it certainly wouldnt have deposited enough color for a blush. Such a strange color. Really......I disliked it.....alot.

Golden nectar is so pretty. BEST ITEM IN THE COLLECTION for me. In fact I used it today. It is like a rosy brown underneath the overspray. Initially, the overspray makes it look yellow/orange. But under that, it is a nice tan rosey brown. Also, it has a nice satin feel and look. It is definitely NOT a flat matte under the overspray. There is a definite glow. Very different than a beauty powder in my opinion.

Creme De Miel - a typical whitish/yellow/ gold. But the texture is GORGEOUS. I think I fell in love more with the texture than the color itself.

Pollinator- MY FAVOURITE OF THE THREE!! Some are comparing to paradisco but I respectfully disagree. I have paradisco and hate it. Pollinator is a softer coral with a slightly pink undertone. The shimmer is delicate and it looks beautiful paired with creme de miel.

Buckwheat - This is pretty standard and I debated buying it as it looks a little too similar to other stuff in the perm collection. The texture is not so hot either. But again when paired with the other colors in the collection it really transforms.

So I guess what I am saying is that none of the colors stand out on thier own to me but when I swatched them next to each other on my hand I fell in love.

The lipglasses did not impress. But I was glad as I was already spending enough. ALSO, When I was at the pro store in manhattan, there were like 5 MA's walking around and no one would help me purchase my order. So when the manager came out and realized this he rang up my order himself and applied a 20 percent discount to my order (i dont have a pro card)!!! I saved like 17 bucks!! What a sweetie.

Forget the highlights, i am going to stick with Albatross, Vanilla pigment and my MSF's.

Queen Bee and Buzz lipglass are the only items that are grabbing my attention.

Ah, that's the color tone that I was seeing in it - the Rosey Brown. hmmm, I may have to have that now.

Thanks!

Welcome. I think you'll really like it......

It's not outrageuosly pigmented making it an ideal brown for the cheek. I find that it doesnt make you look muddy.

Ok, I got to play with my stuff.
I absolutely LOVE Queen Bee, personally I think it is the stand out of the collection.

Buckwheat is passable, but I am a eyeshadow whore and I love brown.

Pollinator is a pretty color. It's a nice soft coral. I think it will look hot with buckwheat.

The salve is nice, only getting one though. I really don't see myself using it all the time.

Naked Honey perfume, is okay. A little too floral, J thought it smelt like his grandma.....so, ya...probably not a turn on!

That's my review in a nutshell!
