S&P looks great with other greens! I've only used it twice, first I did the smokey S&P Face chart look with Humid and I think those two look sooo good together. Today I'm wearing Bright Future on inner lid, S&P on middle, a darker yellow-green (from Inglot) on outer corner and Humid on crease.

S&P is such a flattering colour for blue eyes and brightens up whole look! I'm going to try it with Firecracker too, I usually like the combo of lime green and orange. Also lime green and bright pink look great together so I'll try to find a good pink to combine with S&P.

I am back on the fence about Sand and Sun and Float on By e/k. Some have said that S&S hardly shows up, and it's matte, which is my least favorite texture... And if Float on By is super smudgy like I have heard a few times already, I will probably pass. Stinks cause that was one of the items I was most looking forward to. I do have Undercurrent, Minted, and a few blue/green technakohls though, so I should be ok right? Or is it really super unique?

Yes

Anyone thought of comparing Splashing with the pink lipglass that came out with the Heatherette collection, starlet kiss? I think they are both cool pinks and look simmilar but maybe one is lighter than the other.

Haha, that is exactly what I got so far (except the Lustre Drops which I have in Pink Rebel from Style Warriors)!

 

[malvales]

Is there any dupe for colors in Marine Life?

i bought sweet and punchy but i wish i hadnt, i also have lucky green and bitter and to me, it just looks like a hybrid of the two, when blended with humid etc on my eyes, i reckon you prob couldnt tell i had used lucky green and sweet and punchy, it just looked like one colour

I have a question though, does anyone know how Get Away Bronze compares to Trace Gold? Is it darker? Is it less shimmery? Thx.

I don't have Tete a Tint, but I guess TaT is more muted and dirty, maybe darker too? Samoa Silk is more orange/yellow peach. I will do swatches for you immediately when the sun decides to appear!

Sand&Sun shows up well in my opinion, I find this matte to be good!

I skipped FOB first, but when I thought what similar eyeliners I have, I couldn't think of any that is close. It is exactly like Parrot e/s. I think it's beautiful in colour, but I would've propably skipped it if I knew it was that smudgy. Again, I have only experience from only one use, so I cannot judge it completely yet.

Audrey, I bet you could find a pretty good dupe with one of UD's 24/7 liners or maybe also MUFE. Those suckers don't smudge!

 

[kiss]

Dainty and hipness is totally different. Dainty is a very light yellow pink peach and hipness is a more bright coral.

Ive recenly been using Joyous alot with my greens which is basically the same color as hipness and I love it. It makes you look so fresh.

After the unveiling party, Ill post some swatches and review on my blog.

Its prolly not similar, but I love flipside UD liner! Ive been wearing it on my lower lashlines with neutrals.

 

[Care]

[purrtykitty]

No, it's the 27th.

Yay! I don't like Dainty

 

[AudreyNicole]

I must be sick. With every day that goes by, I want less and less. I am on a nailpolish kick right now, and would rather by that.

Sweet and Punchy is still a major want, and In the Buff polish, but I may just keep my 4 item limit with this collection afterall.

 

[banana1234]

i thought that too, then it launched and i started wanting everything

Trace Gold is more golden and shimmery. From the pictures, Get Away Bronze doesn't look golden to me.

I'm happy to hear this! I was excited for Hipness, and then I saw how close it was to Dainty (which I have) in the swatch thread. Thanks for giving me hope again
