I have a love-hate with it myself, so I understand. Have you tried it over or under a powder? I think that may be a must for this guy. I'm also just biased because I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 'traditional' TF cream shadows, and this is so different. I will say that I did try @Medgal07's trick of super thin layer, dry, super thin layer, dry (which does not take as long as it sounds), and it did perform a little better for me.

I tried a few different things, like today I layered the sparkly eyeshadow from Golden Peach over. It looked alright. I don't hate it but it's just been very meh. And I think I'm feeling the disappointment this much coz I am a GINORMOUS TF fan, and yet I find myself constantly trying to make this eyeshadow work, you know? It didn't work on its own (at least not on me). If it was any other brand I would have returned it immediately but I heard TF don't really do returns that easily.

I totally get that, especially at his price point. Does that mean you ordered from TF directly? If so, I've seen others mention difficulties (no personal experience yet), but if you're that unhappy, I say ship it back! No use having a $42 paper weight taking up valuable cosmetic space. If there's something else you want, they may make it easier to do an exchange.

If you order directly from TF, if you breathe on it, you own it. To return you must call and receive a RA number. They make it clear, if you even cracked open the lid or the box, you own it. That is why I encourage those who are not sure order from Nordy's with their no questions asked return policy. With other stores I have found if you have a established relationship with a Product Specialist, they will for the most part accept returns. All the higher end stores seem to have restricted their return policy this past Jan, except Nordy's.

Really practice with the A/W 15 and you will love it. I was not all that wowed, then it has become a oh my gosh Becky for me.

A/W 2015 is not a one trick pony. I do believe his theme for this Fall less is more, and a mono matte look. I have used it with Chanel new Fall quad, and again, love it. For now, at least until Holiday, the sparkles seem to be resting with Mr. Ford. That navy cream shadow and powder on top, a glitter queen's dream.....

LOL! ... I'm trying my best to be good. I still have the Summer collection that I haven't even opened and made a dent in the cream shadows, sooo bad

... I hope those mattes don't come out til next year. TF has been a very expensive year for me. I'm a sucker for reds, and vampy colors, so hopefully if he does come out with some ... those tones will be (praying) excluded. And yes, I do have Love Bruise!!! Its the reason why So Vain became tooooo tempting to resist!

I am not so sure you can just ship back directly to TF. On the receipt it clearly states from what I recall....which we all know is jacksh**, you must call first.

My So Vain came today! I might love it just a little bit. I mean... a lot. Okay, I can't stop looking at it. At first I thought it was pulling brown on me... and then I realized the lighting in my entry way (which is where the mirror I used to put it on hangs) is crap. It's such a lovely mauve-plum! It even makes my eyes look brighter.

Now, I'm willing to accept my demerits, because I skipped the Love Bruise gloss portion of the uniform. I'm just not a gloss girl no matter how hard I try, and I couldn't bring myself to spend almost $50 on one knowing I likely won't wear it often. So let's just pretend I'm that girl from school who would wear the uniform, but swapped out the skirt (which looks adorable on everyone else) for some black jeans with a hole in the knee and gleefully served detention for it.

Ladies. I think my husband accidentally THREW OUT my second TF Pink Glow... Trying to breathe & not be hella mad. It's just makeup. Expensive, perfect, amazing, highly desired makeup. But just makeup. I was debating selling it on eBay (for reasonable) or offering it to someone on here who missed it. Went to look for the box. He took out recycling a while back, and it may have been there. Somewhat frantic searching has not disproven that theory.
