Thank you!

Adding S&S to my list...

ooohh firecracker has just jumped on my list!

what a pretty orange shadow!

Erin what did you think of sweet and punchy? was it alot like other yellow/greens?

 

[InspiredBlue]

Wow, these swatches look nothing like I expected from the product images and descriptions. They look a lot better!

My list just got way too long! In short: I want almost every single one of the lip and eye products (that aren't repromotes).

Eye Shadow
•Sweet & Punchy – Bright Yellow Green (Veluxe Pearl)
•Sand & Sun – Light Peach (Matte)
•Firecraker – Frosted Mid-Tone Red Orange (Veluxe Pearl)

Lipglass
•Easy Lounger – Light Baby Pink with Multi-Dimensional Pear
•Flurry of Fun – Sheer Sparkly Peach
•Splashing – Mid-Tone Blue Pink with Soft Gold Pearl

Lipstick
•BeachBound – Sheer Frosted Pale Peach (Glaze)
•Lazy Day – Light Dirty Blue Pink (Lustre)
•Thrills – Rosy Copper with Gold Pearl (Frost)
•FunBathing – Mid-Tone Bronzed Plum (CremeSheen)

Eye Kohl
•Float on By – Dark Green Turquoise

Obviously there will have to be cuts.

Erin is float on by eye kohl similar in color to undercurrent p/g? Thank you soooo much for the pictures and all that you do!

I now have lemmings for products I never even wanted before!

 

[SmokeSignal16]

I too am curious to know how similiar Sweet & Punchy is to other previous shades in that family.

 

[RayannaBanana]

I hope one of the cream bronzers maybe Weekend would work for me? Being pale I'm worried about it, I wanted to mix one with blush.

Hipness and the Highlight powder look similar to me. I'm not suppose to get anymore blushes but I still can't decide on Hipness, the Highlight powder or Instant Chic.

 

[charlieee]

Woah this collection is pretty! Thanks for the swatches

My list for now
- Hipness
- Float On By
- Lazy Day
- Splashing

 

[sailordom]

So, I'm still not feeling this collection.

Nothing is really jumping out at me. I may pick up Flurry of Fun and perhaps some lustre drops. I may try Hipness on and see if that works, but I'm not much of a blush girl, so I can probably get by with the, um, four that I already own (yes, I only have four!).

I've made big hauls from several collections so far this year, so maybe it's good to find one that's skippable!

 

[2browneyes]

Phew!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I think this is my list:

Firecreacker
Shimmermoss
Humid
Flurry of Fin
Easy Lounger
Beachbound
Sweet and Punchy
Life's a Breeze
Temperature Rising
Float on By
Rosemary & Thyme
Hipness
Sun Rush
Refined Golden
And the TOTE!

 

[LMD84]

i think this collection has surprised alot of people. before the swatches nothing was really interesting to me. but now alot fo it is making me

 

[2browneyes]

 

[Chester]

My wish list just got longer. Thanks for the swatches!!

For sure
Sand & Sun e/s
Firecracker e/s
Sweet & Punchy e/s
Rosemary & Thyme khol

Maybe
Float on By khol
Hipness blush
BeachBound l/s
Lazy Day l/s


Erin, how does Firecracker e/s compare to Red Brick e/s? And how about Float on By compared to Undercurrent?

 

[angelisagemini]

I love swatches. I can cross all eyeshadows off my list. Those colors make me look horrible!

I want
highlightpowder
lazy day l/s
life's a breeze l/p

Yay for cutting the list!

 

[aeroerin]

Oh my gosh Erine, thank you for the swatches! (oh, and I've always wondered, do you spell your name with or without the "e" on the end? I'm an Erin without the e)

My list (small!)
Hipness blush (depending on *how* similar it is to Instant Chic on me)
Flurry of Fun l/g (again, a maybe)
Beach Bound l/s (leaning away from this--it does look *really* frosty)
Sand & Sun e/s -- the one thing the swatches sold me on. It looks so pretty!

 

[Sophia84]

Thanks sooo much Erine!!! Is it me or all the glosses and l/s look very shimmery??

 

[GlamQueen21]

I have a feeling that Hot Hot Hot e/s and Firecracker e/s will make a gorgeous combo together!

 

[DonnaN]

ok, here's my list:

• Sand & SunSun – Light Peach (Matte)
• Firecracker
• Sweet & Punchy
• Easy Lounger
• Flurry of Fun
• Splashing
• Life’s a Breeze
• Temperature Rising
• Float on By
• Rosemary & Thyme
• Hipness Blush
• To The Beach Bag
• Brush 131

 

[Susanne]

I know why I have been excited for this collection for such a long time already

 

[monter]

yikessss. i want firecracker, sand and sun, maybe sweet and punchy (i never use bitter, so i might skip?), lazy day, hipness... grr..

question about shimmermoss - i have warm chill and gulf stream from cool heat a few years ago... i thought i remembered hearing that one of those is similar to shimmermoss? anyone have an opinion on that?

 

[purrtykitty]

So, as pretty as those lippies are, I'm going to do my best and pass. The only ones catching my eye are Lazy Day l/s and Easy Lounger l/g. (I guess I could B2M for Lazy Day...) So, just Firecracker and Sweet & Punchy for me!
