Blush Hipness Crisp Whites - pale tangerine w/ pearls (assuming good swatches) l/s Tumble Dry - light peachy coral Steam Heat - vivid yellow red (if I don't have a dupe) Creme D'Nude Morange (maybe) Technakohl Coin Operated - metal grey w/ silver pearl Practice Makes Perfect - deep blue green Colour Matters - lime Sudsy - marine blue (looking forward to swatches!)

I think they're pretty similar. I was actually planning on selling Hipness as I don't need both. I can post a comparison as soon as I come home.

yay! thank you! I thought they look similar...

Do people seriously bitch about her eyebrows? They're her most striking feature and what's putting money in her bank account.

I still do carefully taper the very outer ends of my brows so they're not ragged and look even on both sides, and I will brush my brows to accentuate the shape, but I've yet to find a brow gel I like. They're too crispy. I'd like something soft like a satiny, silicone based wax.

That Brooke Shields bronzer was particularly nice and subtle for pale people. I was very resistant to the idea of bronzer, but there are formulas out there that are very subtle. It's not like putting powder 4 shades too dark on your face - you can find ones that are very sheer that enhance your face in a totally natural way, as if you just spent the day in the sun, but don't have a full on tan.

That's my girl. I got 4 BUs. It's my winter bronzer. It just sucks that it has no mirror.

At least it has good staying power - I find I don't really need to reapply it for most of a day or night.

Lush Light Bronze is still my favorite! High hopes for Golden Rinse, although it has shimmer….

Crisp Whites and the highlighter for me. I usually buy a lot from Summer Collections but nothing else is catching my eye :/

Speaking of brows... it looks like they will have more brow stuff!

In addition to the 4 new Eye Brows @Naynadine mentioned earlier, they're also including 2 NEW Fluidline Brow Gelcreme shades (Ash Blonde and True Brunette) plus the perm shades currently available (Deep Dark Brunette, Dirty Blonde, and Redhead). They're also repromoting Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set (all perm shades) and the clear brow set.

The Body Shop has some nice bronzers for paler skins (the Honey Bronze Bronzing Powders). 01 or 02 may work for you. Or just go with a MSF Natural, or other pressed powder, that's a few shades darker than your skin tone. Still mulling over Hipness. Still not sure.

UM..........

this entire collection is coming home with me!!

 

[beauteblogueur]

Hmmm, nothing's really appealing to me. I might finally pick up Morange, or maybe Tumble Dry depending on swatches, but that's it.

Go for it.

Thank you so much, Mac-Guy

I will give it a try! I have a few bronzers but hardly ever use them because I love my paleness. But why not play around with them a bit???

It can be a nice sporty look! Or good for days when you feel a little sick and washed out. The good ones nowadays are so subtle an effect, no one would ever know you were wearing anything. I'd say out of all kinds of makeup, bronzer technology is the closest to a no makeup, pure illusion effect than any other type of product out there, including the most natural looking mascaras, foundations and powders. They just have it down perfectly, especially in the past year or two. You won't need to sacrifice your paleness - you will look like a pale person who got some sun a day or two ago - long enough for the redness to wear off, but not long enough to lose the healthy glow!

That sounds amazing!!!!

They're also repromoting Pro Longwear Waterproof Brow Set (all perm shades) and the clear brow set. However, if I'm not mistaken, the only ones that will be in special packaging are the Fluidline Brow Gelcremes.

I'm supposed to be on a brow "no-buy", but I'm grabbing True Brunette and maybe Deep Dark Brunette (if they're in special packaging).

Oh, I didn't even notice that, I thought all of those were already perm. I should've checked

As a lipstick hoarder I always get most excited about the lipsticks but these one's suck mostly because two are perm and I already own them. The blushes and those "bronzers"/highlighter things are what I'm most excited about.

 

[hitchcockblonde]

The only products I'm really interested in are the brushes and blushes but the hoarder/collector in me wants a compact no matter what is in it and a lipstick. Definitely skipping Tumble Dry and Creme D'Nude, they are way too light for my personal preference and I actually had Morange but gave it away to a friend like a year ago as she wore my lipstick way more than I did. So hopefully I like Steam Heat and one of the sculpting/defining powders works for my paleness or I'm just picking up Matte Bronze for the compact and Morange for the packaging.

Skipping this collection.

Me too unless I see swatches on WOC that knocks me off of my feet.

 

[YarahFlower]

While I like the peachy orange coral color story, I'm not a fan of this packaging at all...kinda tacky and cheap ...the Giambattista Valli collection is getting ALL of my money! I'm anxiously awaiting that release!!!

 

[lyssa123]

Lipstick, "highlighter"/blush, and blush for me! Wonder if any other brushes will be in this collection
