Thank you.

I'm not convinced the stripes are just an overspray, they are well raised and seem to go down into the powder to some extent. I won't excavate, but it looks like they might run at least as deep as they're raised (if that makes sense). It's actually a very pretty colour, so I caved in, lol.

 

I didn't pick up Sail La Vie because swatched next to Watch Me Simmer it's a lot more orange and I don't need another orange lipstick. I also wasn't blown over by the blushes, but that's just me, plus I have just bought 5 from Tres Chic and have another 30+ Mac blushes alone, plus other brands.

 

Has anyone in the UK received their Debenhams order yet? I placed mine Tuesday lunchtime and so far nothing. :( I had the dispatch e-mail by 5 pm on Tuesday, so it's probably the Roral Mail taking their sweet time. :(

The goodies that came home with me are:

-both blushes

-Crew

-Sun Dipped pro longwear bronzer

-Jaunty and Feeling Fresh e/s

-Emerald Sea e/p

-Shore Leave l/l

-To Catch a Sailor and Sail La Vie l/s

-Blessedly Rich and Riviera Life l/g

 

I also asked about the difference between the pro longwear and normal bronzers. The pro longwear bronzers have sunseed oil (i think that's what it was) and that makes them softer and easier to blend. They also last longer (like we didn't expect that:p). I swatched one of the normal bronzers and after that one of the pro longwear bronzers. I could definitely feel that the pro longwear one was softer and it smoothed out a lot better on my hand.

 

I didn't take pictures at the event, it was too crowded, but i couldn't post them anyway till sunday. I will swatch my own goodies and try to post pictures sunday afternoon. I might go to my local counter monday and swatch the other things, but i'm not sure if i have enough time monday.

The blushes all look lovely in the pic. I might be in trouble! Thank you, Princesa Livia!

I will go to Amsterdam tomorrow but since I found out that the discount isn't given here I doubt I will haul many HS items. I will see tomorrow, otherwise I will place a second order tomorrow.

 

Have fun with your goodies! Good choice!

I'm not sure what i can use it with, but i was thinking about the naturally blushes and maybe it's nice with bronzer of highlighter. Any input on this is appreciated:) I also got refills for Juxt and Coral e/s. I know Juxt is discontinued and i think Coral as well, so i'm glad i could get both of those too.

I hope you get your order soon!

For those who are into antique shades, OG is a must-buy.

If you are deciding between OG and Barefoot, I think OG wins because it is just so gorgeous and dimensional.  They look different enough to justify both and its nice to have a gold in the pan if you don't have one already.
