I find myself reaching for pigments WAY more than eyeshadows in the morning <3

I really can't spend $23.50 x 3 + tax on the pigments for myself ugh. Make-up budget, how I loathe thee.

I'm starting to think I want them even more now

I don't think my photos did them proper justice. God, I hate my cat for breaking my old camera...ROAR!

*starts stalking the clearance bin for samples*

Temptalia just posted swatches of the dazzle cremes and the pigments- I think Later and Partylicious look much better in hers than any of the others I've seen. Makes me feel kinda of bad for skipping this.

Thanks for letting me know! The temptalia swatches are awesome- I am back to wanting everything.

I will be skipping the lip products, though. I like the hot pink from DTW better. I will never use the yellow one, and sparklicious would be used the same as bubbles, at least by me. and, if I am getting ghost town from rodarte for the same purpose, I really don't need it. Plus, a lot of people seem to dislike DGC. I will most likely walk out with the pigments, morning after n/l, and maybe military. i like so rich so pretty, but is too red toned- i have purples i like better.

The yellow gloss is odd looking. I love bright weird colors (I plan on getting that greenish Liquid Lurex lipstick) but I seriously cannot think of how to use the yellow gloss. I'd love to hear anyone's ideas if they plan to.

I typically like odd colors as well, but I feel like this one would make my teeth look weird.

After seeing Temptalia's swatches, I think I am only getting Partylicious. It is so gorgeous! I may get Later....later with the holiday collection, but it needs to wow me first.

I know! Partylicious was the one I was looking forward to the least- swatches are

- so, whatever I post as far as info or pics, take with a grain of salty salt... but there will be the Metal ES and turquoise is one of the colors (I got an email that indicates a name change - but no product changes to date)

The yellow gloss looks weird but it acts like Spring Bean (for those who remember that one).. it is a good color really to tone down red lips or to change colors and add that glossiness.. After using it a few times I now like it -- would I buy it? nope.. cause I already have my tester

I don't wear red too often, so I can't justify purchasing i want candy.

I think my need for backups just became +2 each for Later & Partylicious.

dammit.

They look like they are going to need permanent spots in my main palette too. Party might actually replace Teal for me since Teal is just a little too green for me most of the time.

dammit. dammit. dammit.

I, too, am considering backups. Temptalia's swatches are usually the most accurate. I didn't expect any of these to be so pretty.

Just saw the nail swatches. I am def. getting Morning After and Military and am undecided on So Rich So Pretty. I don't want to miss a purple, but I feel like I could find better purples.

I'm all about Later pigment. When wet, it's gorgeous! I don't usually do dark eyes, but I will make an exception here. I also want Partylicious. Mutiny pigment is such a mess and I want to use this as a substitute. Hopefully, it's not as chunky.

None of these look very chunky

Makes me happy.

[Shadowy Lady]

I'm back to wanting both Later and Partylicious pigments, dammit! I can't make up my mind about this collection
