The vamp palette. I messed up on the last swatch closest to my wrist. I smudged it out on accident but the formula of all of these has been great!

So beautiful! Interesting that we were right- the actual swatches look in between the two very different photos that we saw for this palette. It's definitely tops on my list of the eye products, if only because I think it would be perfect for travel. It would give me more conservative/ neutral and wilder/ more colourful options.

Carla- Thanks so much for the swatches! The shades look positively juicy. My only slight disappointment is that I was hoping that Neo-Noir would be a bit darker, but I think I'll be able to get over it.

Yes definitely! The shades are in most certainly in between! I got this one first, but I still want the Lolita palette. I love some good neutrals haha :)

I was at the unveiling Friday at my local Sephora. I was lucky enough to be the first one to touch all of it

I bought one of the e/s palettes (The Tease), 2 of the eyeliner pencils (absolutely amazing) and one of the lipsticks. I love the whole line and will be picking up more later I am sure. I am in love with the brushes and think that will be my next purchase.

Sephora is having a bonus points promo so I decided to check out the nail polishes. I had high hopes that they would have 1 or 2 coat coverage but the ones I tried needed at least 3, except Petra. I think the formula is similar to Nfu-oh polishes I have and like. Glossy solids. I ended up purchasing Nirvana, Petra and Shiny. Shiny makes me question my sanity to pay so much for a clear polish so if I was thinking more rationally it would probably be a pass but it really is shiny.

I was actually skeptical on the polishes but I bought fluorescent beige and love it! I had ciate polishes on my nails and the formula chips like crazy on me (the same day if not the next)! Surprisingly, the Marc Jacobs formula hasn't chipped on me and its been 4 days! So far, so good!

I know there has been some mixed reviews on the blush so I thought I'd give me two cents.... I have the shade promiscuous and it is highly pigmented and blends super easy. It's not as soft as some blushes but is by no means as stiff as like MAC's Ripe for Love. I know everyone loved that blush and the color is gorgeous but my word, it is so difficult to blend.

This is one swatch with my finger of promiscuous. I didn't rub hard just ran my finger over it.

I was able to try on the Lip Gels and I'm loving the formula. Very soft and light texture-wise, but the colors I selected were quite pigmented. I felt like I was wearing nothing. Not even balm really. It was interesting. I'll be purchasing some of those. I grabbed two samples of the Genius Gel foundation: Fawn Deep and Cocoa Light. I'm quite excited to try those out. I swatched one of the Style Eye-Con palettes and thought the pigmentation was very nice and the formula was smooth. I swatched some of the blushes as well and I agree with brittbby the deeper colors are quite pigmented. I can't say much for some of the lighter colors b/c my skin is dark. They didn't show up well on me so that may mean something.
I'm makeup overwhelmed right now so it's hard for me to get to all the products I'd like to try.

I feel the same way. I wanted everything and already splurged too much but I would love to pick up more lip glosses and lipstick... And the bronzes brush lol! Glad you got some samples to try!

I worked all weekend, but still went in last night on my day off so I could try some products. I was there for 2 hours in search of a new foundation and just generally checking out the store to see what we had there. I even ended up making a sale and doing a service on someone. (Yes, in my street clothes. LOL)

Oh I wanted to add that the Highliner Gel Crayons have got some staying power! My co-worker was struggling to get her swatch off her hand with makeup remover.

Whenever that happens, I always want to ask if I get commission. I sold a woman on Guerlain skin care once and she ended up buying about $500 worth of product. Heck, if they want to give me a commission in store credit, that's fine, but I deserve something, right?
