Release dates for Germany

[hyazinth]

Hi gals!
So I finally had my makeover yesterday

. And here come my experiences:
It was really fun. I went to the appointment to my trusted MA Natascha at 6 pm and we had a great time. In the end I could not stick to one face chart. I decided to be brave and so I was trying the She who dares MES and the Heartless lipstick. And my MA did an amazing job. The MES was applied wet. I got to try the new pro long wear concealer and foundation as well. And for the final touch a little highlight with cajun and a little darkly my dear blush (I believe).
I took a pic and uploaded it as new profile pic if you are interested

. (It was taken right after the makeover). Let me know what you think.
I did not take a pic with the costumes though but it is possible if you want to.

In the end I got to buy: Heartless and Beware Innocence, both MES and all 3 nail polishes.

Afterwards I went out with a friend (who got also a makeover with VV) and girls we so stood out *lol*...it was really fun.

About the products in general: I feel a little like bis. Some of the items will definitely be dupable and the packaging is nice but I think not that special. The designer could have done something, I don't know, more unique than the black ultrapolished background....
But in my opinion there are on the other hand some items still worth getting. I still can't stop about thinking to get wicked ways, too But I feel it might be a little much with heartless. I don't think it is too brown...Heartless is just the right red on my lips (at least for me it is kind of very red *lol*). I was really surprised that I liked it

. And I just fell in love with the She who dares MES. Although I feel like it will be difficult using it because of the outfall during applying. Even my MA used a tissue to cover the area under my eyes.

So all in all it was worth getting the appointment. And now I am excited to hear your experiences and thoughts.

Silvia and Astrid: Enjoy your appointments

Hyazinth, thank you so much for sharing your experince with us!

You look gorgeous in your profile picture!!! It's really a beautiful red

 

[bis]

hyazinth, she really did a great look for you, you look great

You can easily wear red lips, they suit you very much.
And you make me reconsider Heartless....

WW is gorgeous, it really is special.

 

[Anneri]

I called the store today, and she confirmed the 1st of October. I start to be convinced that release is really Friday!

You are welcome.

Thank you so much for the compliments girls

bis: Maybe you could make heartless work for you with the right lipliner and a base to cover your own lipcolour? I used brick lipliner and we covered my lips a little because they are pigmented.

When do you guys think Tartan Tale will be available? Maybe at the 5 November?

 

[cutemiauw]

Hyazinth, you look lovely!

love the look of red lips on you!

@Birgit: my appointment is on Wednesday. But I'll go and see the collection on the 1st as well

If you said Heartless is too brown for you, maybe I should give it a try... So far I never find the right red lips.
I suspect BoOA would look nice on me, especially after seeing the swatches on other WOC. But I tend to love NARS' blushes more than MAC's so

@Silvia: I'm actually hoping it's not that soon. I need to save up first

 

[Susanne]

One more day

Yay! I will see VV tomorrow.

Well, uhm, actually, I did not mind too much. I need another red lipstick like a hole in the head

Heartless reminded me a lot more of Dubonnet than of Russian Red. But it could have been the light in the store. But it is definitely worth a try. Heartless is an AC and is not as retro and flat as all the matte reds.

Could be, as it's supposed to come out in the US end of October. So maybe first of November here or somewhere around this date.

This years seems already over

I´m actually a little nervous that I won´t make it in time to get my goodies.
I had to work untill 13.00, but talked to the director and said I really, really need these things, so I´m off from 9.30 to 11.00.

He also told me, when I won´t be able to get what I want, he´ll check what he can work out for me

That's so nice of him. I hope you get everything you want

 

[Anneri]

I dreamt tonight that I was at the store at 10, but a woman in front of me bought all 6 BOAs to sell them at ebay. I was so mad at her and pleaded with the MA to let me have the tester.
I'm going slowly mental over this collection - which officially doesn't excite me!

That's really great of him, a nice boss.

Hope you girls get all you want

Last week I dreamed with a huge crowd on KaDeWe, and all the women were fighting over the products

. Now I'm more controlled (because I'm anxious about a Tartan Tale, ha!)

Let's make good night wishes fro the best outcome tomorrow morning!

 

[Anneri]

I'm back from hunting!
Well, that was anticlimatic! There were only two girls waiting with me who wanted to swatch for their blog, and that was it. I had virgin testers!

In the end, I got only things from the Evil Queen: BOA, TT (that was a surprise!) and SP. I swatched Innocence Beware side by side with Hue, and I can't spot the difference. Same with Red Russian and Wicked Ways - WW may be pinker, but they're still too similar.

And now I'm off to the strain station - I'll be maid of honour at my best friend's wedding tomorrow!

Congratulations!
The same to me - I was the very first and the only one to test the VV collection. I also swatched all nail polishes, including Nail Trend for my national beauty forum (I'm not German).

At first I was so excited about Nail Trend and really planned to hunt for EH, but when I saw it in person... it was BLAH. Very much like Catrice Clay'tone My Hero and beautiful flaky shimmer is not seen when applied on a nail.

Finally I got two polishes from VV (Mean & Green and Formidable!), one MES My Dark Magic and, boring: Plush Lash as present to my almost-mother-in-law.

Anneri, I hope you'll make a stunnimg bride's maid. I wish I could see your look.

I would say November 2nd!

What a stress today to get everything I wanted from Venomous Villains and the fall nail polishes!

 

[s_lost]

Hey girls! Is everyone enjoying your goodies?

Anneri, I wish you a great time at the party! I'd love to see your look as bridesmaid too

Melissa, where are you from? There are several expats in this thread, it's nice

Susanne, did you get everything you wanted? (I thought it could be the 5th November because is a Friday, but at least we'll not have to worry about everything vanishing from the shelves

)

Berlin's KaDeWe was crowded today. I was one of the firts to get to the counter, but there was people almost running when the doors were opened

I think there was maybe 15+ people for 2 sellers

. 2 hours later, there was 2 people and 5 sellers

But they had/have a very good stock. The drawers were full!

I got:
Oh So Fair - my favorite! It's so, so cute!!!! A nice pink blush on me.
Bite of an Apple - I was surprised about how usable it is! It's very buidable and a nice color.
Both MES - gorgeous.
Revenge is Sweet and Strange Potion - great colors. I just love lipgloss!
French Quarter GPS: another surprise. It's beautiful in person.

I skipped TT and Violetta. The first was straight orange on me

- but it was a beautiful color on Astrid. Violetta I'd rarely use, so...

I ended up loving this collection more than I thought I would. But the packaging would be so much better with the sketches!

Now I'm waiting for my makeover Monday
