I wore it today as an all over powder and it gave me a nice glow. So far it's my favorite thing, but I haven't played with those shadows yet so it could change.

I hope so

I love X Rocks, but it's just too glittery to wear everyday.

Face2mac- DMD is very similar to Notable blush, its quite pretty and is an almost nude blush on me.. kind of like a WOC's prim and proper or blushbaby?.. notable had slightly more pink tones on my face than DMB, but both are pretty...i dont think its ANYthing like Douceur cos the latter seems to swatch very light and most sites state that it is for lighter skin tones.. am thinking more like Dolce Vita? but browner, I could be wrong cos I dont have that tho!

 

[cutemiauw]

^^ thank you for mentioning the comparison of DMD with Notable! I was wondering about that too. I <3 Notable :inlove:

*sigh*...well after reading some blogs and checking my stash I went back for Briar Rose, Wicked Ways, and Toxic Tale. Turns out that Briar Rose is a little bit more amped up than On A Mission so I went for it. And now I'm done..bring on October 21st!

I wore Briar Rose yesterday over a soft dusty rose blush from CARGO called Lyon with Gotham blush (also CARGO) as my highlight. Soooo pretty. I don't have a lot of cool blushes, and definitely not cool toned pinks, so it was kind of new for me, and Gotham gave it this shimmery, iridescent, lavender-blue shift. Cute! Plus I could see it working with so many plum and rose shades (Vintage Grape, Dirty Plum, Plum Sorbet from Black Radiance, Loverush, etc.)

My Fellow Ladies of Color - went to check out VV yesterday, with no expectations. The MA applied Darkly My Dear w/a bit of Her Own Devices BP, as a highlight (no shimmer). Let me tell you that my cheeks were sculpted and glowy all at the same time!!

Needless to say I left with both products. I'll probably go back for some lippies and, maybe, BOA blush - need to see more swatches on WOC.

NC44/45 - more so NC44 on the inner part of the face. I couldn't stop looking at my face after she applied it. Her Own Devices looks like mud in the pan, but it has just enough pink to keep it fom looking dirty.

Good scoopage, I had the wrong date. There is a nars coupon floating around for about a 2month or so 18%off$75, it used to be just 18%, but that it how I am picking up bits and pieces from him. Today, I ordered Brousse, Rajastan and Modern Love Palette. Sold out of Strawberry Fields

I can't wait for his holiday collection. But enough about Francois from me, moving on..

I knew I should've got HOD, I saw that it paired with DMD and it looked like it but way lighter but the same color family.

I got the cooling powder in Cajun and it's beautiful as an all over face powder. Loves it. I like everything I got actually.

I picked up resort life, cajun powder, facilier mirror, boa, heartless l/s, wicked ways l/g, both MES, violetta l/g, revenge is sweet l/g, briar rose...my formidable and bad fairy are in the mail coming from Bloomies.

I bought Briar Rose beauty powder. I don't know about uniqueness because I have nothing like it to compare. It is matte violet pink on my cheeks.

It is pigmented to me. I applied with a regular brush blush.

I received my items and will be doing a mani with Bad Fairy this weekend. I can't wait to play with my goodies!

posted lip color response here for Curly1908 if you don't get to see it in the other VV forum.

Ohh, you ladies got alot lol. I picked up Boa blush, She who Dares m/es (luv'n it) Briar Rose after having my Ma try it on me & with the help of some other sisters at the counter, lol got it,very pretty. Resort life (per my 8yr old son lol) luv it too lol. Might go back & get the cajun cooling powder,some liglasses & DMD blush. Thanks Sapnap for comparing it to notable, was thinking it was more plumy since I didnt really look.

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I got:
French Quarter GPS
She Who Dares MES
My Dark Magic MES
Bite of An Apple blush
Bad Fairy n/p
Revenge is Sweet l/g

I'm trying to avoid going to the counter to check out the other items in the collection for fear I will end up buying a lot more.

 

[cutemiauw]

I got:
- French Quarter GPS, it looks lovely swatched on my hand. Can't wait to try it on!
- Strange Potion l/g - it's so pretty on my lips

- Revenge is Sweet l/g - it's a pretty pink when swatched on my hand, but I didn't see much of it on my pigmented lips, it just intensifies my lip color. I love how it didn't have much glitter and I think it'll be lovely in colder months.

As for my thoughts of the other things in this collection:
- The packaging MES looks really great! I didn't get it though because I figured I must save for Tartan Tale
- Bite of an Apple blush looks like Hipness heavily applied on me, so I passed
- Briar rose is nice, but I figured since I have Azalea Blossom, I passed as well.
- Violetta looks more of a toned down pinkish purple on me, and
- Toxic Tale lost all of its orange on me and it looks more pinkish coral. I wonder if this would look good on my skintone. Any opinions?

 

[sss215]

I swatched DMD. I thought it was nice. Maybe later this month I will run by and get it. I doubt it sells out.
