Whew... after a very long very low-buy season, I splurged w/ the F&F. I can't wait to try all these beautiful neutrals! And thanks to all who posted reviews and such cuz I've been flip-flopping on my list for sooo long! 'Twas mainly from reviews and swatches here that I made y decision. I finally ended up with:
Buzz l/g
Creme de Miel e/s
Buckwheat e/s
Honeylight b/p
I finally took a whiff of the fragrances last night and actually liked both of them. Africanimal does have some burnt sugar/honey smell that I like with it's darker, woody character and Naked Honey is not overly sweet with light floral tones shot through. I almost wish I got either of them but I'll hope for them to show at the next EL sale. =D
Now if only my items will arrive on Monday.... c'mon Canada Post!

How is everyone liking pollinator? I am sort of lemming it since it is sold out but I am not sure if it is unique enough to get. TIA!

I wanted to love it, but I haven't been able to get it to work for me yet, which is odd, because all my other peachy/orange shadows
Maybe I just paired it with the wrong shadows, I'll have to try it again.

I think the colour is very gorgeous if you can get it to show. I've seen a girl on youtube pair it with glamour check and it looked really pretty. When I swatch it in store I got no colour at all
but the girl used nyx jumbo pencil in milk prior to applying and she only had to pack the colour on twice for the colour to pop.

^Same here. I'm going to pass on Pollinator. For the people that own Creme de Miel, how do you all like it?

When I swatched pollinator, it did not show up at all. Too bad it looks pretty in the pan.

I like CDM. It's pretty as a highlighter and if you don't have anything that looks like it, get it. I had some trouble getting it to show on me when I used it on my lids, but with a little help from bare study pp I got it to show.

Naked honey comes out in a few weeks here, and to be honest it did not impress me (i spotted the testers today!) i tried both the fragrances on, and i like them both, but naked honey will be the one i get for me. i think i will buy the other one (cant spell it) for my mum - it is totally up her ally. with all the new collections coming, i feel happy to skip it (will see how naked honey goes)

If there is a collection to skip, this is it. There's nothing in this collection that makes me think I'll regret not having it in the future. The skin care items are all underwhelming.

Well, I may be in the minority, but this shows up on me, although it's just a light peachy orange colour. I always apply butternutty shadestick under my shadows though, so maybe that makes everything show up better? Colourwise, it's okay, nothing exciting. If you already have Paradisco, it's not a whole lot different.

I got queen bee because it looked pretty. I would never apply a lipglass straight on my lips, because my lips are so pigmented that you wouldnt be able to see it. I put this over fleshpot, and over another nudey lipstick, and it wasnt that special
Ill try it over brave new bronze.

I think it works over brave new bronze because brave new bronze isn't exactly a NUDE . It has SOME colour to it (at least on me) it looks peachy-ish and it pairs great w/ the coral in Queen Bee .

I was going to skip this collection, but kinda sorta impulse-bought Buzz during F&F... and I am SO glad I did!
I'm pretty fair (NC20ish), so when I checked swatches AFTER my order and then when I got it in the mail, I was a little hesitant to try it... but I finally did, and I'm in love. I love the gold in this; it's the perfect lip for me for summer when I do a less bold eye. Today I wore it with All That Glitters and Mulch in the crease, a little bit of Spaced out, and wow. Smashing.

Does anyone know how pollinator e/s compres to arena e/s???
Asking cause I always end up with kind of the same colours

Pollinator is more of a bright peachy color--I don't think they compare at all-Arena is totally different

I picked this up too and have yet to try it, but you make it sound great! I was going to try it over Creme d'Nude.
