They had Fervor on display at the JCP near me. I swatched it and loved it. I wasn't planning on getting it but now it's a must have. Glad they're permanent.
I picked up Fervor at my Sephora in JCP also! They only got 2 of Fervor and a few of Craving, and they weren't out - they were in a drawer and I had to inquire about them. So I couldn't swatch unfortunately and I just wasn't sure about Craving, so I stuck with Fervor for now. I also went to a regular Sephora today and they were clueless as to whether/when they'd be getting them. So I'd suggest checking the JCPs if you want to swatch. You can do a store search on Sephora.com. My JCP was the only one within 100 miles that had them (and they only had a few and not the whole line).

Thanks. Sephora didn't get a lot from the spring collection either. I guess if I can't get everything from JCP I may just wait and get it from Nordstrom then I can get some points too.

I saw these tonite as I was leaving out of the store. I like Frenzy, Adoration, Panic, and Fervor. They still remind me of the MAC EDSF formula.

I swatched them and I think they're pretty, especially for the summer. I went to the JCP Sephora and they had 3 of the 6 but no testers. Then I went to a regular Sephora and they had all 6. I had a hard time trying to get to them because the MUAs were all around them testing them and putting them on hold. I just decided to wait for Nordies. Sephora is getting on my nerves lately.

Here's my swatch of Fervor. I absolutely love this color combo. I did not find these to be overly shimmery or metallic, although I cannot vouch for what they might look like in bright sunlight because we've had overcast skies and snow the last couple of days. The big thing that stuck out when I was swatching was how difficult it was to blend with a damp/wet brush. I buffed and buffed and buffed and had a very hard time distributing the product evenly and blending out the color. It was really easy to over-apply the dark shade when wet and then have a hard time blending it out. If you look closely you can see the dark shade did pick up on dry patches on my skin on my arm, but when I applied it to my cheek I didn't have problems with it enhancing pores or looking patchy. It looked quite natural.

So, first impressions - love the colors, not the easiest to blend wet. But overall I'm very pleased with it.

If I get one of these, I want this one. Very pretty shades. Thank you for the swatches!

No problem! I was really lucky this was the one my local Sephora in JCP had in stock because it was the one I wanted most. I definitely recommend it!

Did you swatch them Pretty? Did you find them overly glittery/shimmery?
Actually no. The lighter one with the gold did seem to be a bit more shimmery, but in general they were not and I was pleaseantly surprised by that. I didn't go back and buy them b/c I was walking out of the store and stopped to swatch them and the SA was staring me down...

Ok that's good to hear. *eyeroll* Did she think you were going to steal them?

Some pictures, I got 5 of them, haven't tried them wet as they have enough pigment for me when used dry.
