I used Idyllic this morning under GA Eyes to Kill shadow in Champagne and the combo is gorgeous!

I cannot decide if I want to order Genuine Treasure or Idyllic paint pot.

I think Genuine Treasure may be the only one I don't end up with. Right now I have all but GT and Treasure Hunt and while I didn't think I'd want Treasure Hunt, I now think I do.

The only thing I got was the Seeds of Desire mattene. It really went well with my skin and been wearing it frequently. I'm thinking of backing that up, so when I visit the counter for the Fall collection, I might buy another.

I have enough metallic gold eyeshadow, so I skipped out on the paint pots.

Someone give me a good reason to ignore Rare Exotic?

Do it!!! Get Treasure Hunt! I'm waiting for mine to arrive on Monday.

I may cave. The reason I haven't gotten it yet is because I have Base Light Paint in the tube which I think is very similar and never gets worn.

I bought all of the paint pots but so far I've only tried 4 of them. I have been wearing Idyllic for two days now.

Day 1: Idyllic on the lid, Carbonized on the outer V with Avenue fluidline on the upper lash line

Day 2: Idyllic on the lid, Carbonized on the outer V, Creamy Bisque in the inner corner and Dark Diversion on the upper and lower lashline.

Both days I paired the eyes with Plum Fun lipglass.

I wore Idyllic with Carbonized today too. They pair nicely together. That's no surprise though because Idyllic imo is just about a slight shade darker than Mythical which goes great with Carbonized.

I love both, but if you must choose, I'd say go for Idyllic. You'd probably get a lot more mileage (wear) out of that one, as you can wear it with so many different things.

^Now your tempting me lol I'm going to my MAC store next week and hopefully that it'll be there.

 

[Anitacska]

That is one of the two mattenes I'm planning on getting, so unfortunately I can't give you one, it looks so pretty in the swatches!

I have Rare Exotic and I am in LOVE with it...so I won't be much help either. It stays on forever, and it feels great on. My lips didn't feel dry at all, and absolutely no reapplying which I love.

 

[wishonastar]

yup so we shall certainly get it on the 4th! woo hoo! i need to haul!!!
Chanel Epatant Illusion D’Ombre shadow - todays specktra blog post

Weeeee I cannot wait! What are you getting ladies? For me, all of the paint pots and 4 mattenes... unless I change my mind again.

 

[martiangurll]

I went and checked this out at my Macy's and they were not sold out of any of the PP! So if you want anything, I would try at your local counter. What I was more excited about was they had not sold out of Legendary Mattene so I got this and Naked Bliss after swatching all the Mattenes. I liked Deliciously Forbidden but they were sold out of that one. I had to talk myself out of Eden Rouge because I wear red lipstick about once every 3 months but it was awesome.

Theoretically I am done with this collection but in reality if I go back and they still have PP, I could see myself getting some more. I skipped the blue ones (too dark for me) but I could go for the lighter yellow Treasure Hunt PP--I had to look up the name because I can't keep the two "treasure" PP names straight! I did not get any back ups because I have yet to use up any entire PP. Of all of these, I liked Genuine Treasure the best, followed by a straight up tie between Idyllic and Half Wild.

I know I should get more of the Mattenes and will regret if I don't but they seem dupeable and I am not really sure they are so unique. Is the formula really so special I should stock up on the colors I like? What do you ladies like the most about them?????

 

[MAChostage]

What I like most about the Mattenes is the formula. They go on so smoothly and don't leave my lips feeling like I've spread glue across them that has dried. I have always avoided matte lip products like the plague because I cannot stand for my lips to feel dry. Also, the colors seem very concentrated and they are just a pleasure to use and wear!

[BeautyByLele]

I picked up 6 out of the 8 PP. I didnt get Genuine Treasure or Hyperviolet.

I only picked out one mattene lipstick . . . Rare Exotic , I havent tried mattene lipsticks before so I wanted to give the formula a try !!

 

[Edelmc]

Does anyone have both rare exotic and candy yum yum? Are they very similar.... I missed out on cyy and am looking for something similar. Is anybody able to do swatches of both?

Barry M 52 (Shocking Pink) and 62 (Vibrant Pink) are very close indeed to Candy Yum Yum
