I think I am going to be in real trouble with this collection. I had planned on skipping the lip stuff, but I don't think I can after seeing those swatches. I already have Hipness on the way, so I can cross that off my list for this collection, but I still want:

Sweet and Punchy e/s

Firecracker e/s
Float on By Eye Kohl
Beachbound l/s
Lazy Day l/s
Easy Lounger l/g
Splashing l/g
Flurry of Fun l/g

Erin, how different is Hipness from Instant Chic from Pret a Papier?

I've been wondering for awhile how does Life's A Breeze compare to In Sync lip pencil from Too Fabulous?
TIA!

Thanks for the swatches Erin!

I already like Sun and Sand and Firecracker e/s. Firecracker isn't similar to Hot Hot Hot is it?

Although I honestly wouldn't wear makeup to the beach as discussed before! But - after seeign these swatches my wishlist has grown to include:
Marine Life Highlight Powder (even if it is oversprayed, grrr)
Hipness Blush
Sun Rush Lustre Drops

Splashing Lipglass
130 Brush


And perhaps one of the cream bronzers- I do love a good cream blush, but what do you guy sthink about the cream bronzersand how would you go about using/applying them

the cream bronzers are a true creme to powder product. sadly, this is gonna be a hot mess with customers. its alot more artist friendly. the texture is exactly like the metal x shadows, how its kinda of "ball-y". does that make sense. they finish is just like refined golden. they aren't glittery. just a soft glow.

Firecracker is alot more red orangey, where HHH was more red coral. you can definately see orange in firecracker.

Another one for Erine:

Is Sand & Sun unique? How about the texture and payoff?
And would Get-away Bronze work for a NC20?

S&S is kinda like peaches blush. its really cute! its a matte, so its very pigmented. i never have problems with matte textures, so to me its fine. get-away bronze is gonne be better for medium to lighter dark skintones. its way too brown for lighter skintones. i'm an NC20 and i won't touch it!
