Argh! The PRO store here launches this collection tomorrow and I'm completely TORN - even after seeing the products in that link ^^ !!!!

I'll really need to swatch beforehand. I.Want.Candy looks amazing tho

And is it just me, or do the pigments look less appealing after seeing those swatches?

I'll really need to swatch those especially - wet too.

I really want samples of all 3 pigments...in the wishlist they go! Any takers?

Hey Tiff, besides comparing Young Punk MES to the black pigment, can you also please compare the turquoise one to Teal pigment and the white one to Pink Opal pigment?

For sure - think they'll get mad if I take my camera? Or should I be super stealth and take the photos outside? lol

reflects glitters are my fave! inparticular reflects gold, reflects transparent teal and reflects red! they are very subtle and only 'glow' when the light hits! and 3d silver glitter is awesome in an over the top way!

they are not eye safe. generally i use the mac gel mixing medium to make them into gel liners (more cost effective than buying the pre-made mac glitter liners!) and also the gel mixing medium helps them stick to your lids if you use a very small amount.

Ahh!!! So insanely excited for Later pigment. We have yet to see pics of it foiled, but I know how crappy my Blue Flame MES looks dry and how amazing it looks foiled. So I'm confident it will be great. I don't have Young Punk or a way to swatch before I buy, but I'm just gonna go for it.

and I hope in more heavily done swatches... From that images, each pigment seems so... dull!

Instead, the black polish seems interesting!

that was my post a bit above. Please, could you post a comparison swatch with that products? Moreover... I really would like to see Military! ^^
Thanks

Is there anything you do like from ITG?

I will keep that in mind when I buy glitter! And yes, I don't really care if things are marked as eye safe or not, I use em anyway.

Yes- there were swatches on Musing of a Muse and a few other blogs... Don't remember what they were called.

i like togetherness, CCC, and blue my mind MES, petticoat, stereo rose and by candlelight MSFs.

yep, that's it.

i'm the same way with eye/lip safe stuff. i could care less. and if something happens, i know its my own for faulting for wearing it where i shouldn't!

I figure if I don't have an adverse reaction, then it's safe enough for me. ;-)
