Hi there!
I'm NW45 and checked out the collection and thought it was really nice.
Beauty Powders-Yogamode is a
no no for my NW45 skin tone...too light, however
Peaceful is a go. Even though it was sheer...you could use it as a finishing powder for a very subtle shimmer effect.
Blush-Smile blush is a
no no for my NW45 skintone...too pale. However
Goddess is a go. Its sheer but when applied a couple of times on each cheek with a regular blush brush, it gives a gorgeous coral peach glow even though its a matte blush(both are). Its a a little brighter than NARS Gilda in comparison. Heres the side by side pic:

I did not try the Glimmershimmers though, so I do apologize for that.
The lashes looked gorgeous in person. A go for anyone. Very pretty.
Eyeshadow Quads: They were a bit harder and too sheer when transfered onto my deep skin with my finger so I do recommend a brush. The shadows are very buildable and look great on our skin tone. My fave was the
Amazon quad. The shade "Amazon" was a gorgeous highlight for under the brow area so thats what sold me on it...even though I didnt buy if...I'll prob. go back next weekend.
Lipsticks: All of them were gorgeous. All worked well except for
Sreenqueen. That didnt work well with my lips. They were a tad bit sheer but if thats what you like then go for them.
Lipglass: All of them were gorgeous and a go except for
BodyMind...thats a little too pale for my lips. They could be applied sheer to more buildable which I liked most about them.
I did not try the Pro Longwear Lusters though.
The creamstick liner in
"Summerfruit" was soo pretty but too sheer and pale for my brownish mauve lips.
Hope this kind of helps someone. Sorry I couldnt get great pics though! but this was soley MY OPINION on all of the products for my liking of my NW45 skintone
