Loreal HIP

[Caffy]

I think the HIP line is copying a lot of Nar's shadow combinations
;-p

 

[S.S.BlackOrchid]

I do like it (only when it's on sale).
I agree with prinzessin784, it does rip off of mac quite a bit (I saw dupes of cranberry and parrot e/s), but hey, I'm a poor college student, so it's nice to have good quality things for a relatively inexpensive price (when they do 'buy one get one free' it's a good deal).

btw,

Ok so in Numerical order is the shadow by Nars

#1 Misfit
#2 South Pacific
#3 Mediteranee
#4 Bysance
#5 Divine
#6 Cleo
#7 Carvaggio
#8 Key Largo
#9 India Song
#10 Summertime
#11 Artic

Yeah?

for #7 I meant to circle the shadow to the right...

 

[krystalena]

I bought two of the eyeshadow duos, Brazen and Flamboyant...the only thing it use is the yellow from the Flamboyant..

 

[SereneBeauty]

I love these e/s duos -- especially great if you are on a bit of a budget.

I think HIP is great for people that want to try some bright colors, but don't want to pay a lot for them. With this if the color doesn't work out I don't feel so bad throwing it away.

 

[Khalia25]

I have several, myself. The only ones I use are Flare and Flamboyant. The texture and the color payoff are on point!! I loved them so much I went out and bought Flare again. The orange color in Flare is one of my hg colors, and I bought Firespot when Moonbathe came out...the two colors are almost identical! The few other HIP duos I have...the texture seems so wrong and they seem hard and "crustier." Really hard to deposit any color...grrrrrr!!!

I saw some new colors today at DR. The one w/2 shades of purple looked nice but familiar (I have to check out my Smashbox Pin Up) & I like that one that appeared to be a shade of beige w/olive green (not Lively). The new bright colors are nice too (one of them had a lime color).

 

[MsButterfli]

i picked up a teal gel eyeliner today for 10.98 at walmart as well as the crayon looking eyeshadow stick for 8.94 i believe..ima test em out later on

 

[cocoabeauty]

They have a lot of new stuff out right now. The gel liners, cream crayons (think shade sticks), new pigments as well as new bright and concentrated duos along with new lip glosses and bronzers/high lighters from their LE Orange collection. I'm a sucker and I picked up EVERYTHING. Beware that the one of the loose pigments is the same as famous (228) it has a different name but the same number. They also looked identical on my skin.

Just curious, do the cream crayons have the same lasting power as the shadesticks?

 

[cocoabeauty]

Zori I'm not too good at navigating this site but check in the drugstore cosmetics section. I wrote a piece there singing the prasises of the incredible lasting power of the hip cream crayons, at least on my hand, as I haven't tried it on my eyes yet.

Thanks, I checked it out. Hmmm, next time I see them I'd probably make a purchase or two

Oh sorry, I didn´t see the questions before. Depotting was not problem. Didn´t need any heat or something. Used a cutter (is this also the english name fot this package opening tool???) and the glue was not too strong. The palette is by BENI DURRER. I purchased this from a german MAC-o-holic ;-)

Caffy, thinks for the comparsion pix, but have you heart of copy right? I know it´s not so usual in US, but you can not take other people pix, upload them somewhere else and make scribbles on them. I don´t like, what you did with my pic. You can quote my post with the pic, but not use it. Sorry, bt not this way...

bahahaha so did mine!

also i think the line is crap
i bought some when it first came out & the e/s is typical of a drugstore brand - chalky & gross

 

[bella1342]

[AfricanaEyes]

Oh no....their mascara is the BEST!!!
