I'm super excited for it! It looks like a nice healthy looking blush! I am still loving the multiples from Pop Goes the Easel, so I bet I will love this.

I love the idea of the Glow Tint, but literally do not need to glow any more than I do already. I need a matte tint :roflmao: Waiting for the velvet matte stick or whatever NARS is coming out with in the fall.

I read that as bush and not blush. :eek:

Nope, it will definitely not make you shiny or add to any shine.

You are ALL really bad influences on me. This collection wasn't on my radar until I started reading the reviews here. I picked up Jo, Double Decker and Ephide. Loving them ALL. I was surprised at how much color showed up with the lip tints. My only complaint is that I really had to layer Jo and it doesn't quite dry down. Probably isn't that big a deal as I don't touch my cheeks throughout the day and love the sheen.

I'm considering getting Alice and Promise. Not sure about Promise since cooler tones doen't always work for me but I'm pretty sure about getting Alice.

:rofl: Glad you're liking everything! :angel: This is my IT collection this summer, I think.


So I've tried the glow tint a couple times now. I like it, but I wouldn't call it must-have for me. I like the tinted moisturizer better, and that also has sunscreen. I agree completely with Karen from MBB that it's like a freshly washed face look. I would say my skin looks even and bright like it's clean with super sheer coverage. I'm happy to keep it, but I'm not sure I would have purchased if I had sampled and am not backing up. Fair worked great for me.

i just ordered the two eye duos and eye pencils. i'm interested in the lip and cheek products but would like to try them in person before i buy....
nice seeing your swatches elegant...they are quite enticing! is it my imagination, or these duos more expensive than usual?

Thank you dear! :flowers: I hope you like the eye products!

The collection is up on Sephora Canada; I missed the sale but used the VIB renewal code (that they never e-mail me - what's up with that). I ordered Double Decker and Ephelide. I hope I like them; this is more than I normally would spend on a gloss but they look like they deliver enough colour for me to convince myself that they're lipsticks. ;)

I'm not a fan of Multiples or products that don't dry down in general; I really like the MUFE cream blush and have a couple of Bobbi Brown Pot Rouges that get lots of use though.

i went to a nars event this evening at the bay. actually i think it was wrapping up when i got there - they had a photographer on hand to do people's portraits.

the makeup they did on me was so nice, and convinced me to get a whole bunch more things. i mean in addition to the eye products i had ordered from sephora and which i should have in my hands tomorrow...i now purchased the glow tint, falaise bronzer, alice and promise. the artist also put rue allent and nuit d'encre on my eyes. now i'm glad i got rue allent, because i almost skipped it! it makes my brown eyes look warmer and lighter.

so. there is a chance i may go back for more lip tints...

I receive Double Decker and Ephelide today. I really like both; they remind me of a stickier MAC CSG. Double Decker is a very pretty strawberry shade. My lips aren't that pigmented, so I always need a little liner for contrast against my skin. I'm wearing Double Decker with a light application of MAC Absolutely It (to line only); this shade looks great with MAC Cheeky Bugger blush - definitely a nice summery combo.

I'll be interested to see how long the colour lasts on me without needing to be reapplied; I love CSGs but I need to reapply very frequently.
