Re: Things you do, and don't like about Antiquitease.
I may just be talking myself out of them b/c I should save my cash, but the MES were disappointing b/c of the fallout, and b/c it looks waaay too glittery on me. Great swatched on the back of my hand, tho! I really wanted to love family silver but at the end of the day, there's a hairline of a difference between them on me.

The only lipstick I HAVE to have is Antiquitease. It's the coppery lippie I've been looking for - rusty but not too orange or red, frosty but not crazy shimmery, easy to stain on or to create a bold lip. I have Fresh Morrocan l/s and Poetique l/g, both of which I love, but they'll be put on the backburner once I get my hands on Antiquitease!

I'm very intrigued by the pigments. I love how complex Sweet Sienna's turning out - it's been so hard to nail down an exact description of it! On me olive tones come forth, but on others it's more taupe-y... I can't wait to try this with different bases.

The polishes disappointed me. As Jillianjiggs posted, the white one looks like white out! I wish they put a bit of gold/silver shimmer into it or something. Gold Veneer... looked too harsh of a gold, if you know what I mean. There wasn't much depth to the colour, and the yellow doesn't look like it'd flatter any tone. A bit too true to the concept, perhaps.

And Uppity fluidline...mmm... I know I won't be able to use it much regularly, but it's exactly what I want to use for Christmas time. I can't wait to play with it.. a bit on the outer corners, next time on the inner, a thin, slightly winged stroke above the lashes with a bold lip...
