[brittbby]

I'll be a fellow disco ball with you! I love shimmer/sheen even though my pores don't. Hm...Maybe you should get them...oke: I think they'll look beautiful on you!

Glad I'm not the only one! I love sparkle.... Everywhere lol! Can't wait for more Dazzle Lipsticks!

It's the Covergirl flamed out eyeshadow pencil in Lime green Flame. It's a golden green color (looks nothing like the color of it's cap). Very pretty. But Narcissus will totally look amazing with a gold eye color!

I agree with everyone - you just look so adorable!

Just got back from checking out the collection.

I bought another Adored. The peachy color is so pretty on the lid as an es! Time to Tango - GORGEOUS! such a pretty little color on. I picked out one that had A LOT of deep Periwinkle to it. I used it on the lid & cork in the crease

and..

My favorite - Rio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so darn pretty on & didn't come out metallic. Love it!!! I got one with a lot of pink.

I liked Bossa Blue in person...some may feel its a bit too muddy, but I liked the color a lot & may get it later.

I passed on MM ls. All the MUA were wearing it & it looked fine, but I dunno it just didn't appeal to me for some reason in person. It is pretty though.

That's the best one for pale NW complexions

I am loving all of the blushes against your skin tone. SS is my favorite on you though. Simmer is a close second. They look amaaazing! Did you get them all?

I'm getting EE and SS(eventually) but will have to wait for Simmer I think.

I'm in love with my goodies!

I have adored over my blush (ring of saturn) and Tropica wet on the lid with TtT dry in the crease. Minimal fallout with TtT! And what little there is is so easily swept away. You don't end up with a modern art makeup mess under your eyes. I have to admit the msfs weren't what I was expecting. They don't show metallic on me at all, but I think that might be because my skin is just so light. They have the same sheen as the Apres Chic blushes on me. Lovely! I think I do need Lust now. I love the finish of these msfs even without glitter!

I do wish I saw the swatches before that overnight code expired lol but I'll check them out tomorrow in store.

I thought mine did even from the display. Mine even has some deeper almost raspberry pink tones mixed in with the regular pink.

Seriously dear, I kept thinking of you the whole darn time I was contemplating buying/swatching any of them because we both feel the same way about them.

Maybe I'll need to brave the store soon 'cause that sounds so pretty! How'd you feel after seeing the blushes in person?

Its really pretty on my skin.

SS & Simmer are beautiful in person. Can't wait for my delivery

What was your fave?

 

[Corally]

Phew, finally caught up.. had to read about 600 posts lol. I think I'm only gonna pick Adored, its lovely! I kinda like Simmer, but I think it's too shimmery for me...

Both of them are very pretty in person, but didn't try them on. I ordered mine & haven't received them yet.

[valkolak]

ughhhh am I the only one disappointed with rio ?

I'm not sure how I feel about it. It looks run of the mill to me.

Girl, me too!!

I know this is out of focus but it's the best way to show the sparkle in lust. Again, I love it but I know a lot of people LOATHE sparkle so hope this helps those that are ordering online! =D

I agree, I love sparkles too! I have so many dazzleglasses and all the Style Black MES just because I thought the glitter power was awesome. Though I have to admit that these days if I am wearing a sparkly something, the rest of my face is pretty much satin or matte.

Anyway, it looks like the same amount of sparkle from some earlier MSFs. In any case it couldn't be as bad as New Vegas. I went through so much effort to swap for it, used it twice and then put it back up for swap again. Just didn't really like how gritty it looked, though I probably should have buffed it. To be honest, I think that the 159 brush might actually be good at NOT picking up the sparkles because I know that my MES glitters somehow get lost in the bristles of my 286 and 287 brushes.
