Last night I received two Pure Chromatics quads in #5 and #19. I swatched one of the quads and all I got was glitter - no color. I dampened my brush and tried again. Slightly more color, but not enough to tell what they were and mostly glitter. I don't want to get the shadows/brush too wet as I'm unsure about wet/dry formulas. Is there a technique to this? Do the quads actually stay sanitary? I was quickly trying to swatch before bed and washing my brushes so I didn't mess around too much so I'm hoping it was just dry on top or something.

This has always been my fear when it comes to those palettes and why I've been unwilling to hand over the considerable coin to purchase them. As far as I know, the wet application is just applying with a damp brush, but I haven't tried it personally, so I don't want to promise anything.

I think what she's wearing is the dark shade- Prune Avenue- in which case I bought it and will try to post pics here. Not to play the enabler or anything...

... but if anything it's even prettier in person. It's got elements of red, brown and purple intermingled. There's a bit of a difference from one person to another- I found it looked a little cooler (more purple) on me than it did on the SA I bought it from (it was more like the model photo on her). Might have been because she was wearing a lip liner.

I finally got my hands on a full bottle of the new foundation. Still loving it and now I'm not buying anymore foundation for a long, long time. :D

The Pur Chromatics quads have a 6 mos expiration date which is ridiculous for a product. They're practically disposable in that case. It must be about the time bacteria starts appearing in the powder. I can see a difference in the pan where the powder has been wet. It is shinier. I was able to get more color payoff today, but I had to dig into the shadows. I don't think I'll end up using these palettes which is a shame.

Last night I got the new YSL Rouge Pur Couture Vernis a Levres Glossy Stain - Rebel Nudes in #105 Corail Hold Up. Such a beautiful and dimensional shade. The color is sheer, but buildable. I was only trying it on quickly before bed last night and already have my eyes on another shade.

 I purchased  n°55. The formula is rich, I love the colour it's vibrant but not garish at all. It's a very pretty lipstick in my opinion.

Sorry for the delay. Here's what the shade looks like on me. It can be built up so it's a little more intense. This was for daytime wear.





Again, can't recommend this shade enough. It goes from this to full-on vampy and has a perfect mix of purple, brown and red (in that order, I'd say) to suit a lot of complexions without making them look drained.

Beautiful colours! I love the regal effect of purple and gold. I think that the eye liner might already be available. It looks like the one that came out with the Baby Doll collection. They are lovely liners if you haven't tried them already.
