Wow, thats amazing you have to send it back. It kept flopping over when I was trying to take pictures.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It usually depends on who you get in CS. I just know if the same thing happens with the second bp then I might lose it. $70 is too much for a jacked up compact. Especially since the main reason I bought it is the packaging. They're sending the new one second day so hopefully it will be here soon.

Just got my order. The pink blush is lovely but I seriously doubt that it's a full 6 grams. The pan is smaller than a regular MAC blush and it's not very deep either. I think I'm going to call and ask CS about it.

The EO lipstick is pretty but IMO not that unique, and same with the Bouquet lipglass. I might be returning this entire order - although the packaging is lovely I just don't know if I can justify paying the higher price for this collection.

Also, the mirror on my blush is flopping over and doesn't stand up on its own either.

I really like my fluidlines! Palm Tree is GORGEOUS! A beautiful deep grey with multi color shimmer, ahh! Darkness of Calm is also nice, but looks like a flat dark brown.

Palm Tree up top, Darkness of Calm in the middle, and Inglot black gel/cream liner on bottom.

Nippon, Fashion Force, Ethereal Orchid, Call the Hairdresser!

EO pulls really warm on me and does not look all that different than FF on my lips. Considering I love huggable a, EO may just go right on back. Pretty shade if you don't have something like it, though.
Thank you! I was still going back and forth on EO, but I already have Nippon and Fashion Force so I can definitely skip it. Phew!! That $30 is going towards my Sephora haul coming up. Haha

I hope they are too! My first order should arrive today and I'm going to compare. The website saying 3.2 g is really confusing to me since the box says 6, but if it is only 3.2 they are definitely getting returned. $40 for 3.2 grams of blush is highway robbery!

yes exactly what I thought. please let me know :)
I just got my blush today and I was surprised by how small it was. It's beautiful, but so tiny for 40.00. I couldn't bring myself to spend 70.00 on (yet another) beauty powder, and I don't want any of the lipsticks even though I'd like to have that packaging. I guess I'm finally getting to my saturation point with lippies.

so it might be a chance that it actually is only around 3 grams? the typo is either on their site or their packaging for the blush


anyways, does anyone know a similar light pink blush like lotus blossom in the permanent range? :)

Hmmm....seeing the hinge issue on the compacts is making me feel like removing Red Water Lily from my bag.

They are all like this. At least all the ones I've seen so far, so I don't think it's faulty, it's just the way they're made.
That's good to know. Although from pictures I've seen it looks like a lot of blushes and quads have mirrors that stand up. It didn't help that the lid was crooked as well. I had to move it to the side so it would close properly.

Oh no, that's not good, I would exchange it too then.

I think all the compacts have lids that don't stand up well. My red water Lilly is doing the same thing, I don't think it is a flaw. I am sending it back though. The color is pretty but not unique (I swatches my collection and I have so many similar shades) and I cant justify the price tag and small product just for the packaging. I am keeping zenith though, a very pretty color and I want something with the packaging!
