So I saw this collection today at nordies. They had it all set up in it's display, so ifigured that they were selling it already, but the girl said it was pre-order only. So I asked her when they would be selling it, and her response was "it won't be out for a couple weeks. But there are some similar colors in the regular line that you can buy today"-
Hello?! Either she was lying to me so I'd buy from her today, or she is completely clueless about her collections- either way I was miffed. So i may just buy online.
But as for the collection, it was very helpful to see it in person...and to realize how dupeable most of it is. For example, mulled cider es looks just like Haux es, just a tad lighter. Pass. Chamomile and Modelette were my faves but definitely not overly unique.
The shadesticks are pretty, and I love that they are beautifully packaged, but they aren't unique enough for me. Cuddle was my favorite, it's the same beautiful gold like vanilla pigment or solar white. Just not sure if it will be used much.
MSFs were the highlights for me- by candlelight has a perfect texture- not too shimmery, not too dull. Just the right amt of sparkle. Comfort is also gorgeous, nice and "matte", though I found it to be a little orangey for me.
I didn't really look at the rest, as I'm not super interested in the lip products.
But overall, this is a pretty collection. A little repetitive but pretty.
I just wish they had released this one before Christmas too but oh well
