It's a look I'm trying to achieve lately. But flawless, glowy skin is hard to achieve. What does the sheer fluid do? Is it a highlighter or foundation?

It's more of a highlighter (or a blush if you used one of the darker colours) although it can be used all over for a "glowy" effect. I imagine that those with good skin could actually wear it alone with primer, but it wouldn't provide much in the way of coverage.
Stopped by my counter today and grabbed a couple of remaining goodies from the Fall collection- Blue Beetle eye shadow and the Rouge d'Armani 610. Because purple.
Actually, my extremely helpful sales associate (whose name is Chanel, ironically enough) convinced me that it was different enough from #604 (she remembered that I had it) to warrant having both. She knows me well enough that I figured I could take her word for it.

Thanks. I didn't realise fluid sheer is an on-going product and that will be a new shade. Coincidentally, I was thinking about Blue Beetle yesterday when I visited a blog and read the older entries. I have Rouge d'Armani #601 which is a dark purple. Love the formula. I can't find #604 at the USA website, but there is #610. Enjoy your new makeup!

I think 604 has been discontinued. at least, it's been out of stock everywhere for a while now. It's a vampier colour (although it can be worn as a stain) and (I think) a little bluer in tone. They are close enough that I'd say that you don't need both unless you love purples and/ or deep lips.

Hi everyone,
I happened to find Belladonna Highlighter from their Spring Collection (Effetto Nudo) on eBay for half the price so decided to get it ;-)
Here is my review & comparisons to some Chanel highlighters:

All in all it is truly stunning and texture is to die for, it is just very expensive and contains only 5g of product which is a little bit of let down.

Wow, it looks absolutely gorgeous in pan. The swatch is not that impressive, I prefer Poudre Signee over it, I think.
And holy cow, only 5g! Lucky you getting it for half the price.

I'm hoping they hit the ceiling on that sooner rather than later. I don't see a lot of these items selling out, at least not the Armani ones. Nordstrom has palettes from last year hanging around, or at least they did up until recently.

Can't believe you found it half price! I would've gotten it. $88 is too expensive for my taste...

I use the Giorgio Armani Loose Silk Powder in #2. It's been out of stock everywhere for months. There seems to be only one color of that powder for now. Did they discontinue the rest? I love love love that powder, so I hope not. Does anyone on here know? Thank you.

I feel much the same way... I have to tell myself that it's incredibly expensive for what it is and on top of that, it looks fairly similar to Chanel's Poudre Signe, which I paid a nice chunk for last year. I need to follow the lovely Sara's example and try to find it at a discount. (I rather suspect that it won't sell out at that price.)

Has anyone found any swatches of the lipsticks for the Spring 2014 collection?

I couldn't help it. I had to have it, as expensive as it is. I know it's ridiculous. But it just looks so pretty. Hangs head in shame.

Not yet. Nor the glosses. I'm curious to see the plum one, because it looks like it would be a perfect MLBB shade for me.Has anyone found any swatches of the lipsticks for the Spring 2014 collection?

I have a strange problem with Armani's codes for the matte lip lacquers which I love.. there is a number code, but sometimes only names are referred to on the products. i.e. #502 on Nordies website seems to me like it is Attitude but on Armani website it only goes by the number. Same happening with no. 400 on both sites.
