SY launched today here, so I went to my counter to have a look.
I'm not really into bold colors lately so I'm almost totally safe on this one.
The beauty powders were lovely though…I might take home play it proper one of these days…
I tried the red cream color base (can't remember the name now), it's a nice red but it felt very dry, I always need super-moisturizing products on my lips. Since I don't see myself using such a bold color as a blush, I think I'd prefer a lipstick, easier to touch-up on the go.
In the end: I can save money for Cham-Pale and Peacocky…yay!

I was thinking about buying them too, but the palette alone is already $16. I think that will be around 16 euro's here, so yeah that's a lot for just a palette i think.

Ok, so I'm back from the pro store and I wanna say I am so excited about what I got. From this collection I got Virgin Isle, Madly Magenta and Too Chic BP. The CCB's are gorgeous. I always had my eye on VI but never bought it, so I had to have it now. Madly Magenta is my favorite. For the first time, I tried a CCB on my lips and it's awesome. I wouldn't mind popping a clear gloss over it, though for more comfort. That has more to do with the rough condition of my lips at the moment (gotta love NJ winters) because the CCB's are actually creamy on the lips.
Too Chic, I am happy to report, is WOC friendly. I am NC45/50 (mufe hd 173) and it did not turn ashy on me. I popped it over the CCB and it gave a subtle glow. Some may see this as unnecessary, but it's a step I like to take, I love BP's and I wanted the chic compact.
My thoughts on Cham Pale will be in that thread. If my pics didn't turn out too horribly, I will post them. I wasn't wearing foundation, so heaven help me.

I wanna add that the CCB's do stain a bit, but nothing major. Also, the only pigment I was interested in was Follow Your Fancy. It was pretty, but not the true coral I was hoping for. It's more of a rusty red, so I passed. Dark Diversion did nothing for me. I just can't get excited for fluidlines. Movie Star Red is pretty and intense, but I don't need any more red for the cheeks or the lips. Tickle Me Pink is a no for my complexion. It's just all kinds of wrong to me.

I'm so happy (and jealous hehe) you got to see both SY and CP, Shontay!
Creamy on the lips, yay!
Is the finish comparable to cremesheens?
I know I need a gloss over cremesheen this time of year.
Any thoughts on the actual lipsticks if you had a chance to take a look?
Can't wait for your pics, I bet you look gorgeous wearing the bold CCB shades!

Thanks, Keijukainen. Yeah, I would say it's comparable to cremesheens. I just keep thinking "this is just like lipstick". I was surprised because I'm skeptical about lip/cheek products. I popped it on with my pinky (my clean pinky! LOL)
The only lipstick I played with was Style Curve because it was the only one I was interested in. It reminded me of Violetta/Show Orchid but without the sheen. It's pretty and maybe you can get it if you don't have V or SO. I was underwhelmed. I wanted something really purple but less blue than Go For It.

I really wasn't feeling those CCBs at first but suddenly they've become the items I love the most from this collection! The shades are just too gorgeous and I wish the actual lipsticks and pigments were as inspiring. Hmm I was thinking it might be nice to separate a little bit of cream base to a different jar for lip color and use the original pan for cheeks. I dunno why but somehow it feels a little icky to use the same pan for both in the long run and I could take the little jar with me for touch-ups
Style Curve was the item I was most excited about based on promo pics but to be honest it does seem a little underwhelming. I have Violetta and a dupe for Show Orchid from a mineral company so I might skip SC unless it looks amazing with a liner. Yup, I was definitely expecting a true opaque purple too. It's odd the other two are amplified and they decided this one should be the sheer one!?

Anyone know how the Virgin Isle CCB compares to Joie de vivre Cremeblend blush?
Thanks in advance!

Sooo, yeah I took pictures of products from SY and CP together, so I'm just gonna post it here. LOL

Madly Magenta CCB under Too Chic
Last Row : Virgin Isle CCB, I Get No Kick Liner
Madly Magenta on lips and cheeks (no foundation, so be kind) and Too Chic over it lightly, No Kick on lower lashline
I'm actually still wearing this because I love it so much. That's why I don't have a pic of me wearing VI. LOL

VI looks nice swatched on your hand. Very pretty. I am going to be excited to use this on my cheeks. Glad for the PRO to counter promotion of this one. thanks!

Temptalia said the beauty powders would be too pale for most people, and that makes me want them even more. For once there's highlighters even for the ultrafair yay! Now Mac release a NC10 and NC13 foundations and I'm good.
I'm liking the fact that Style Curve is on the sheer side. And I'm so happy it's Cremesheen!
I think with Magenta liner it could be amped up easily though.
