I got a quick look at the Spring collection yesterday, which is from now on going to be known in my head as Armani Wood Nymphs. I don't know why, it just reminded me of forest fairies with the tones it had.
They had the Belladonna palette on display in little glassed in pedestals, but not one that you could touch. Felt like I was at a museum.
I did play with the lip products and it's sort of sad that these are getting ignored- the shades are quite interesting. The glosses and lipsticks are almost exactly matched, so I think you could just pick whichever formula you preferred rather than getting both. The pink shade is very light and icy, but also a bit greyed. The gloss is milky, which makes me suspect it would pull into lip lines a bit. The pink lipstick is quite sheer in a single pass, I think it would look more like opalescence than a real lipstick, but a second layer actually seemed to give a more noticeable colour, at least on my hand. It's not lavender, but I think that if you like lavender shades, you might like these two- very light, grey-pinks.
The plum lipstick ain't plum. It's a cool, wood-smoke brown with a hint of cool purple and it is GAWJUS. I tried it on and am going back for it without fail. It's sheer but there's certainly enough pigment to notice it on the lips. It reminded me a of a limited edition Mac shade called Riveting that came out a few years back, which I think was a little deeper. The plum gloss is almost the same colour, I think it's just a wee bit redder than the lipstick.
I don't want to give in to the highlighter, although it does look beautiful. I saw one site that had the price pegged at $70CAD, but I'm pretty sure that was a mistake. Normally, the palettes are $95 up here.
