The pinky mauve quad wasn't terribly exciting either. None of the lippies "tamed" my interest either. And then Rockoco.... I was totally excited about the gold and red lip comobs -especially Elaborate- and they were both duds in person. And I knew Accent Red was close to Ruby Red before I got there. But Ostentaious? Is that supposed to be blue/brown pig or Club e/s in fluidline form but not as vibrant? I might get this, but otherwise I'm just not excited about either of these collections. Am I missing something? Anyone else have similar reactions? Any women of color out there who found any of the products in these lines worth a shot?

I am a NC45/50 girl And the only thing worth picking up was the pure vanity l/g (i already have russian red but this red was much better) and the well plumed e/s quad. courage e/s was nothing to scream about but if you didn't get heat/element duo from amuse its a good substitute.

I'm so tired of anything that has the word 'pearl', 'pearlized', or 'silver' in its description!

me too!
and my mua nodded when he asked me what i thought of the quads and i said "not much"

the ostentatious fluidliner was the only must have in my mind. i can't wear club or blue brown pigment as they go red/orange on me.

if i was going to use ostentatious as an eyeliner, i think i would be disappointed as there is not a whole lot of blue/green in it, and it is relatively flat in finish. luckily, i plan on using it as an eyeshadow base. i can put the blue brown pigment over the fluidliner to make the colour stay on truer without going reddish/orangie on me

as for the quads, i loved them with the pics and descriptions online. when i saw them in person, i was disappointed. i was expecting something else.

red lip glasses migrate on my lips, and i have enough red lippies to keep me happy for an eternity.

so not much from these collections really piqued my interest
