I DONT EITHER! i dont know why but i decided to get this one anyway....i tried some on and it didnt bother me the way most lipglasses do for some reason, maybe cuz I did a super thin layer...didnt really feel sticky

liesierre,

great swatches!  But now I am wanting Fun Finds and Hidden Treasure.  Oh noes

My Haul:

Local Wares Fluidline

Restless Lipglass

Marche Eyeshadow Duo

Hidden Treasure & Wordly Wealth Blushes

Shellcat texted me that Marche duo is awesome!  Can't wait to try it out!!

I went back and got:

• On the Hunt
• Hocus Pocus
• Mythology
• 236 Brush

Shame on me.

I got Supercontinental. Does any one else how it compares to Style blush or Springsheen?

I compared it with Springsheen... its sorta close in base color but it doesnt have that gold pearly part...and its maybe a smidge more bright and pink when actually swatched

is it just me or is this collex not getting a great deal of hype?

I really expected to skip HC and gorge on this collection. Instead I've done the opposite; I planned to buy 7 or 8 items and just got a fluidline and a lippie. I ended up buying some NARS stuff today and a couple of MAC prolongwear liners to wear with my fall lippies. I think I'm set for fall now; after my l'Oreal Infallibles stash (thanks Pixie!) arrives I'll decide if I want a couple of individual e/s pans. Nothing is really calling to me from SS. I bought Camden Chic and I wasn't even sure I wanted that. I just wanted to try a Mattene and I figured a brick red is always a safe bet for me.

Woopsy...it's been a long day. 263!

team 3 here! I had to BU worldly wealth, so pretty. I need restless though!

Elkaknits, yes, I meant Cremesheen Glass. Sorry!

Hope you're having fun testing P + P with lipgloss. You're so sweet! <3

I'll get my box Monday! Actually, I'll get two boxes! One with By Request collection (Moth Brown) and another one with this collection (Dark Diversion plus Prep + Prime Lip)!

I can't wait to try Prep + Prime Lip! This is going to be my second Prep + Prime product. I have and love Prep + Prime Lash.

I think its cuz a lot of it is repromotes, its a smaller collection to begin with...and the color palette doesnt work for a lot of people like me who look better in cool tones

Edit - I didn't get Supercontinental yet but Style is very bright and looks a lot more orange.

Yes. This is good for me as I look better in warm tones.  I think that is why I was surprised about the small fall collection.  Usually, they have a cool and warm color story within a collection for fall.  I wonder if Marilyn will be the cool collection.  I don't know about the red lipsticks but all the eye shadows look cool in the promo pics.  That may be why I'm contemplating skipping Marilyn.

My personal blush collections consists of 29 DIFFERENT colors... (not including any MSF's that can be used as a blusher too) I just ordered all 3 from this collection. Now im officially at 32

NOW after liesierre posted her swatch of HT i want a BU... 

I NEED A BU... i must have that back up

Money saved!

thanks for the tip! i was considering cc but i also have legendary and rarely use it...though i did pull it out of the fridge a few days ago... anyway, money saved!

i'm the same way about marilyn....i think cool colours often do work on me, but the light + cool combo often doesn't! 

however, i did swatch pure zen in the store today and thought it was very pretty...

T posted some sneak peek pics.

What exactly does P+P Lash do? Does it make the lashes look thicker and longer too? I've never tried it.

Good to know.  I know I want to try Shanghai Spice next.  Maybe I'll try Pure Zen too.

My swatches (mixed in with BR stuff):

Top: Supercontinental, Ready to Roam l/g, Hidden Treasure

Someone was wondering upthread the similarities between Hyperviolet and Dark Diversion.  

Hyperviolet, Dark Diversion (above w/o flash, below w/flash)

It's not necessary to have both, and if I had to choose, it would definitely be Dark Diversion.

that one was nice too!

actually i found quite a few of the cremesheens in the new collection were very nice swatched on me, which i was surprised seeing as how pastelly some of them seemed. and that orange is pretty damn orange!

I've been in a bit of mood tonight. I was hoping to hold off on this collection until I can swatch it but I'm in need of some retail therapy. Trying to decide what I can order tonight (besides old style palettes argh!)...

I'll probably end getting the for sures on my list

Restless

CC

BU of Dark Diversion

Local Wares

I was so sure I needed Whims & Fancies, but I may hold off until I can see it in person. Same w/ the blushes, although everyone's swatches is enabling me hardcore.
