Winnie, I acrually liked IN the buff.. but I am much darker than u... its a taupy/brown/green rather than straight up green.. its quite unique and the formula is surprisingly good!

Jungleland- good to see ya after such a long time!

I cannot believe I now started to think about getting Get-Away-Bronze! I saw a swatch comparing it to So Ceylon and they are quite close so I don't need it but...

PinkBasset, i don't think So Ceylon is simmilar to GAB at all.

So ceylon has a rosey undertone to it.

GAB is just a gold bronze blush.

But i do like GAB i use it to warm up my face

Thanks! Well if they are not similar then I could possibly need GAB right?

Does GAB differ from bronzers - meaning could I just use a frosty bronzer in its place or does it give a different result?

On me it is not a bronzer because i am NC43..So it just warms up my complexion a bit and adds some sheen.

On you i think it would work as a bronzer. Check out the swatches section for this collection and see how it is on people who are a simmilar skin tone to you, that should help

I went kayaking at the beach down the street yesterday and I used my TTB beach bag for the first time.

I can honestly say I'm glad I spent the money! It's really useful- it has that inside zip pocket for keys and phones, so they don't get all sandy. It stands upright even in the sand and it's also really easy to carry when you're carrying 9,000 others things (like a kayak LOL).

Yes, you need GAB. I freaking love it! I think has too much sheen to work as a bronzer though, unless you really like the sheen/frosty look.

Cool! Will I be able to order from the site, since I'm not from the US?

Oh I didn't plan to use GAB as a bronzer, what I thought was that if I had a frosty bronzer, could it be used as a blush and get the same results as I would with GAB.
yes.gif
But I don't have a frosty bronzer!
lol.gif
I get a funny feeling when I go back to some collection much later, I don't know how to explain it, but it's like hee hee - I sneaked out and got some more!

Hey Winnie, is GAB anything like Eversun? There was one swatch of them but how about on cheeks, are they different enough to own both? I'm trying to enable myself here!

Very very different. GAB is way more bronzey than Eversun. Eversun is more of a brown-peach color. There is no peach at all in GAB.



Sigh, I'm still dying to get my hands on Lazy Day lipstick (and maybe In The Buff too)... Anybody care to help me out here?

They are definitely different enough to own both... I do

At first I passed up GAB because I thought it was just like any other bronzy blush, but it's super pretty and a GREAT summer color... adds just the right glow to cheeks and I've been wearing it nearly every day for days when I just want a little natural glow. If you can still get it, I'd recommend it

Yes since Singapore is qualified. You have to go to Inernational Shopping section at the bottom of Nordstrom's website.

^At first I wanted Lazy Day l/s but I ended up with Beachbound l/s instead. I kinda do regret not getting Lazy Day when it was still in stock online and at my freestanding store.
