Hi all, I'm new here - FIRST POST!! Although I've been reading through and following some of the forums for a little while I'm super excited for this line as well, despite the disappointment factor following how amazing the fall line was. That said, now that full colour photos have surfaced, it's not as bad as I envisioned following the black and white shot and the descriptions plus horrible feedback on the pearl fusions - I think I let my imagination assume the worst. But these shots have some redeeming factors thank goodness :) I think the white looks great, though I'm unsure of the rose gold cap to top it off. The makeup bag is also waybetter than I imagined so that's a buy for me as well (so glad there's not a huge R on it)!! Like many others, I'm for sure getting (a few) Pleasure Bombs, rose gold liner, as a fellow Pisces yup, stocking up on the Pisces Persuasion too :p Probably getting everything minus the shadows, I just can't vibe with old school casing and small quantities of colour. I'm not 100% on the nude, but will still try it. Her first from fall was not all I hoped it would be and with the awesomeness of her outher lippies, I'm suprised the nude is the one that would be revisited with a slight twist. Another version of Talk That Talk would have been fab and season-appropriate, or even a retake on Heaux. Shoot, I would have even preferred the grey she wore in summer over another nude to be honest. Also not 100% on the bronzer but will try that too. I'm not much darker than Ri but felt you had to work that bronzer too much, so I agree with others that HK didn't seem like it was tested on all her friends like some of the other items. I get why it's in the Holiday line though, as an island girl, she's used to a year round sun-kissed glow. Hopefully this holiday spin on the bronzer will have more oomph. If not, even more reason for me to fly to my homeland Barbados and get a natural sunkissing for the holidays :D

Okay i have a question related to buying from paypal,this girl wants payment as a gift....is that risky???
Is it someone from this forum? It's against the rules of every forum i've ever belonged to to require a gift payment. You have absolutely no recourse to get your money back if she doesn't send you the product even if you put comments in the comment section about the item. It's not covered by Paypal protection b/c it's not considered a sales transaction. I also don't think you should have to pay more to cover the fees. You should never pay more than the advertised selling price. So yes it's risky and the seller knows it. The seller will understand your hesitation.

Wha! It is the only thing without the R. It is kind of plain and I don't really like the quilted look but I am in need of a new bag so maybe.

Just wondering for those actually were ABLE to order stuff from previous riri collections online, how did it get thru? Like it seems like pure luck? I got thru with the first collection but not the second and i don't think i did anything different with either one...
